Hi everyone am new to the Adventure Time stories, so excuse me if I make some mistakes, anyways this is my story, "Swordjag" I hope you enjoy it and please, if you could, give me some advice.
Chapter 1: The Night of The Knight
It was night, around one AM, and our heroes finally arrived home from an exhausting battle with evil monsters. Finn dragged his red sword across the floor while he gave a tired walk. Jake's arms where also dragging across the floor, his eyes begging to be shut, begging for a good night sleep.
"Hello, Finn and Jake, are you ready for dinner?" said B-MO. The little guy was standing on the table which was filled with food.
"Aw, B-MO, do you know what time it is?...it's passed midnight. Am tired and Jake's tired. Not a good time to eat dinner" said Finn as he let go of his red sword making a thump on the floor.
"Yea, B-MO where tired, we been beating monsters since five, I can't even feel my legs" added Jake.
"Then, what am I going to do with all this food?" asked B-MO with a depressing...face? on his screen.
"Just put it away somewhere where bugs won't get in it, and we'll have it for breakfast tomorrow" responded Jake.
"Alright" The little video game console answered and started to put everything away.
Finn and Jake then went to sleep. Jake weakly got on his bed and shut his eyes, Finn got in his sack and shut his eyes as well.
Meanwhile...In The Sandy Business a figure was seen crossing the whole thing, and was heading towards Red Rock Cliffs.
The figure was walking slow...clouds formed and rain started to fall down, hitting the figure with all it's might. A thunder was heard from a distance and from the light that it produced the figure was shown to be somewhat of a horse with his owner riding it.
"Come on boy, let's make it across those rocks and into that cave, then we can rest" a voice said, that voice had a similar tone to Finn's but it still was different.
With a little motivation from the voice, the figure started to speed up and eventually made it to the cave at an amazing speed.
The cave was dark, there was no sign of light, but at least it was dry. Then the figure separated and became two. After a while, sparks started to be seen then a full fierce fire started lighting the cave except for some parts.
The figures finally revealed their appearances. A dirty helmet with sad eyes inside it. He had a young fleshy face, and dirty destroyed armor that was outside of himself. A lost Knight. By his side was a horse, a black stallion with white on his cannons, face, mane, tail and his muzzle. He was tired, you can see it and hear it when the beautiful horse breathed heavy. The Knight grabbed a bucket out of his dirty backpack and got water from nearby in the cave.
"Here, boy, Drink" The knight put the small silver bucket filled with water to the horse's mouth, the black horse smelled it then drank.
While the horse drank and the knight rested on a rock, then a girl, no a vampire, or more specifically a vampire queen, got up of bed inside of her undiscovered house and floated to her kitchen. The female vampire stretched her arms and gave a yawn that penetrated the outside of her hidden house and onto the ears of the young Knight. He opened an eye, looked around, then shut it again.
The female vampire had long black hair that went down to her ankles and had sharp fangs. She got a strawberry and sucked the red out of it, leaving a rough, grayish piece of what used to be fruit. She threw the cherry away into her trash can and made another penetrating sound.
This time The knight opened both his eyes and searched around the cave for a few seconds, then he shut them again.
Marceline, the female vampire, looked outside her window only to see strangers sleeping in her cave.
"Haha Yes!, an excellent scare to start off the night" she said rubbing her hands together, then she floated outside unseen by the strangers. She got into a spot and gave some giggles, then she transformed herself into a giant monster, like the one she did when she met Finn and Jake.
"Arghh!...who dares to set foot on my cave!" the monster hissed as her eyes transformed into flames.
The knight woke up immediately.
"You got to be flippin' kidding me!" he yelled as he got his shield out and one of his two swords "Back off monster, am warning you!" he said as he pointed his silver sword at the beast.
"Back-off? Back-off! Hahaha" the beast laughed as she went to grab him, the knight swung his sword at her index finger leaving a burning cut.
"Arghh! you'll pay for that dweeb!" the beast went full charge to the knight, But before she could get him, his horse picked him up and ran with amazing speed that no horse could run. The knight got passed her fist and sliced a bloody cut on her leg, the beast hissed and went to grabbed him again, but his horse was way more fast and he successfully sliced another cut in her other leg.
"Arghh! that's it!" she yelled as she transformed back to her female self, then she punched him in the face, but she hurt herself more from the devastating punch to the steel helmet.
"Ow! you stupid jerk!" she yelled holding her right hand. The moving horse stopped and the knight spoke.
"It's a girl?"
"Yes I am, you jerk, you're gonna pay for what you did!" she yelled again.
"I apologize greatly, but what exactly did you expect t-"
"To go away in fear, to run off screaming, of course" The knight got off his giant horse, put away his sword, and walked towards the female.
"Am sorry, can I help, I know how to treat your wounds" he said.
"Arg! Am a vampire, my wounds heal fast, just forget it okay...just go"
"Go where?"
"To wherever you came from"
"But my home is destroyed, lost forever in the ashes...along with my companions, and...my parents...am the only one that survived"
"Wait a minute, you sound a little young than I expected" said the vampire queen, then she took off his helmet and looked at him. He had brown longish hair that came down to his shoulders, it was rough from all those days with out showering and being in that air-less helmet.
"Oh my, you're just a kid" she said surprised
"Am a teen!, not kid"
"Wow, for a 'teen' you're pretty brave, only few can stand up to me in my monster form, hardcore stuff, just like some pals of mine" she responded.
"uh, haha thanks...I guess"
"Look how about you just leave my home and pretend this never happened"
"I already told you, vampire, that my home is lost!"
"Well can't you just go somewhere else?"
"Me and my Friend are too tired, we already crossed an ocean, crossed through a really hot desert and when we finally get to rest after three weeks of nonstop action a monster attacks us!...what does it take to let a human sleep for once in awhile!"
"Wait!...did you say...human?"
"Yeah am like 80% of it"
"Look i don't normally do this to strangers, but come inside" she said as her arm pointed in the direction of a house.
"Uh...okay" he said "you won't happen to have fruits, like apples or strawberries or just berries for that matter"
"Yea, I got a ton of them, why?"
"Well my buddy over there has passed his limits and he hasn't ate anything for the last three days, am more concerned about him than myself...he's my friend"
"Yep, just like some pals of mine" she said as they entered her house. "Man you're armor is really dirty, make sure not to get dirt on anything got that!"
"Yes" after a while the knight took a bowl of red apples and berries to his horse then came back inside.
"So, um...ah, what's your name?" asked Marceline.
"Well everyone used to call me Swordjag, because of the way I would jag my sword into my enemies, but my real name is Alan"
"Well nice to meet you Alan, or Swordjag, hehe"
"Nice to meet you too, ah uh wh-"
"Marceline, My name is Marceline, Am the vampire queen" Alan opened his eyes in surprise
"Oh well nice to meet you, your highness, haha"
"Haha, anyways I haven't seen another human in a long time other than my friend"
"Another human?...where?"
"his name is Finn. He lives in the grasslands along with his friend"
"Is his friend a human too?"
"No he's a magical dog"
"that's Awesome" said Alan "...So where exactly am I right now?"
"You're in the Land of Ooo"
"hm...interesting, do you know any houses that are for sale, or any kingdom I could serve"
"Dude, why would you wanna serve, just chill man, you're just a teen, enjoy yourself before you'll regret it when you're old"
"Actually, I will never age more than twenty years old"
"Wait, wha?"
"Am 80% human and 20% of another species that don't age anymore after twenty"
"now that's interesting"
"My mom was human, and my dad looked human but he wasn't, It should have been fifty fifty, you know?, but I don't know what happen, maybe mom had stronger DNA I guess"
"Hmmm, that's cool little dude, so how old are you"
"Am fourteen"
"Wow fourteen and already in an adventure...just like Finn, anyways today we set off to Finn and Jake's house so you can meet them"
"Sounds good, but isn't a little late to disturb their slumber"
"We'll go in daytime, Silly"
"But aren't you a vampire and the sunlight is your weakness"
"I can just put on my hat, it will protect me from the sun"
"Cool, now can I borrow a useless cloth so I can wash my armor"
"Um, sure" she said as she found a blue rag in the sink and gave it to him.
"Thanks" Alan responded, then walked out of the house and started to take off his armor and wash it. He had on red shorts with a sweaty white shirt.
"Hey, I'm running real low on supplies, and am going to get some groceries alright, so here's a favor"
"Alright" he said as he looked at her.
"Can you guard my house, someone or something keeps stealing stuff every night I go out...so can you do it?"
"Um yea sure, no problem"
"Thanks, I can trust you right? You won't steal from me" she said as she made a scary face that scares Jake every time...well every scary face she makes scares him
"Well yeah, am a knight, I don't steal...It's against being a knight"
"Haha alright I'll be back" then the vampire flew away at a high speed.
"Hmm, wow I don't even now her for three hours and she trusts me with guarding her house...sounds fishy" said Alan while his horse stood up and walked towards him. He was a huge horse over nine feet tall it made Alan look like a squirrel.
"Oh, hey Troy" he said touching the leg of the black horse. The horse nickered quietly and came closer. Alan stood up and stroke the sides of him. "hello boy, are you okay?, something wrong?"
The horse looked at Marceline's hidden house, and began snorting
"It's okay boy, it's just a house...look how about you go and lie down and rest some more, you had quite a beating since we crossed that endless ocean" the horse then nuzzled on Alan's ear and went to lie down.
After forty minutes the vampire queen returned with big bags full with groceries. Alan stood up and opened the door for her.
"Thanks" she said as she put the bags on the table "So did anyone or anything came to steal?"
"No, nothing"
"Alright, but how about you?, did you steal from me?!"
"What! Of course not, I told you I'll never steal!"
"Good, and thanks"
"You're welcome"
Alan walked out of the house and sat next to his horse, he got a horse brush out of his backpack and brushed the mane and the back of the huge horse. Marceline came out of the door and looked at him.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Just brushing Troy"
"Who's Troy"
"My horse, his name's Troy"
"Oh" she said and floated over to the two. The horse started to snort at Marceline "Why is he doing that?" she asked with her hands on her hips
"He's checking for danger" he said and softly tapped the strong neck of animal "it's okay boy, she's okay"
Marceline floated closer and stroke the head of Troy.
"Haha, he's cute" she said as the horse calmed down, but was still on guard.
"yea, he's huge too"
"Really?..he seems huge enough just laying down...show me" Swordjag stood up along with the horse, and Marceline was impressed "Wow, he's tall and big" she said with her hands on her cheeks
"He's also fast...he's a magical horse, according to the wizard that gave him to me, he runs at an unimaginable speed"
"Really?...how fast?"
"I don't really know but the wizard said more than 600 miles a minute using he's full speed"
"Wow...that is awesome!"
"Yeah, but he's tired, he needs to rest, he-..huh?" the horse smiled and kept stretching his head and neck towards his back "What...you want to ride...with Marceline too?" the horse then nibbled on his hair. "Uh...okay, hey Marceline do you wanna ride with me and Troy?"
"I think Troy is trying to test her, to see if she's evil...only good people can ride him" Alan thought to himself.
"Um...sure, why not" she answered.
"Great let me just put up my armor" said Alan as he took out a small container that could fit the entire armor!
"Wow, how's that possible?" asked Marceline with an eyebrow up.
"Oh, this" he said pointing at the red container "this is a Tun-Cong, everyone in my kingdom used to have it to take their armor where ever they went"
"Hmm, cool"
Alan closed his container and jumped on Troy's back. Alan eyed Marceline a little. The vampire queen floated behind Alan and sat on the horse.
"Wow...So you are good" said Alan
"What do you mean?"
"Only the ones with a good heart can ride Troy"
"Oh really...what happens if you're evil?"
"You'll fall off...you would feel like you just jumped on air"
"Hmmm...okay...do you have a settle for the horse?"
"No..i don't need it am fine..and Troy's mane is ten times stronger than a regular horse, so if you grab on to dear life by it, it won't affect him" said Alan.
"Awesome" she said.
"Alright Troy, you said, so let's go!"
The horse then ran, but without his full speed, out of the cave and into the rocks and the moonlight.
"Hahaha, this is so awesome"
"Haha yea!" yelled Alan. The finally passed the rocks and were in grass.
"Over there is the burning lands, or the fire kingdom" said Marceline pointing to a hell like place with living volcanoes.
"Nice" responded Alan.
They turned right and started seeing a blizzard up ahead
"Those are the Ice mountains, where the ice king wizard lives, we call him Ice king"
"Awesome" a few minutes passed by and they entered some new plains.
"We're in the grasslands, this were Finn and Jake live"
"Pretty cool" Soon they started seeing a kingdom made out of candy.
"Over there is the candy kingdom where Princess bubblegum lives, she rules it"
"Wow, there princess' here?"
"Yeah a bunch of them, like lumpy space princess, muscle princess, hot-dog princess, ghost princess, flame princess- but Finn's already going out with her so she's off limits"
"Ookay then" said Alan "Come on Troy let's go back use a quarter of your full speed" the horse obeyed his master and went to the exact speed his master wanted. After a few seconds they finally made it to the cave.
"Haha, that was fun Swordjag" said Marceline as she floated down to earth.
"Haha, yea, about those kingdoms that you mentioned, do you think I can serve in one of them"
"um...yea, I guess so, but why would you want to"
"Well my kingdom was huge!, it had seven cities inside it and only seven courageous knights could serve them as a sign of honor... I was the youngest, I served the third city, Forteblos."
"Well, wasn't it a pain to just stand there without sleep protecting it"
"No, not like that, we trained with companions, took shifts, went out, played fighting games, wrestled and more...but that's only when I came back from training with my dad`"
"Alright whatever, you're choice...anyways tell me more about your kingdom, inside" she said while she floated away towards her house. Alan followed her.
After a few hours of talking Alan came out and began to rest beside his horse. Marceline came out and looked confused
"Uh...what are you doing?" she asked
"Um, am resting for today"
"Well, you're a guest, and you're alright, so the least I could do is to let you rest in my place"
"Your house...is..kinda small"
"So, you do want to sleep in the dirty rock?!"
"No, no, I didn't say that" he said then got up and walked to her house after saying goodnight to Troy.
"You can sleep on the couch, alright, am fully awake so I'll be doing something else"
"Okay, cool"
Alan said goodnight, and Marceline went to another room. Alan settled in the couch and closed his eyes...only to open them again.
"Dude...i think I prefer to sleep on the rocks, this sofa is more stiff then my grandpa's beard, and if I remember correctly, grandpa had a very stiff beard...weird" Alan thought to himself. He slept in it anyways, he simply refused to anger or upset the vampire queen.
Marceline was in her room making up her bed, until she realized that she hasn't touched her bed in years. She looked around the room and began searching for clues.
"I found my bed messy again! Ergh...what's going on, who would dare to even step into my cave...well Swordjag, but argh...just forget it...forget it" she said, then she lifted her armpit and smelled it "Urgh...disgusting" the vampire queen proceeded to her bathroom and locked the door.
Fifteen minutes passed and the female vampire got out of the shower clean and fresh. "Well let's get a move on"
daytime!
"Hey...yo dude, wake up, Swordjag, wake up" Alan opened his eyes to see the female vampire looking at him.
"Aww...man what time is it?" he said scratching and cracking his back from the stiff sofa
"ehh around ten AM or eleven, I don't know but hey, come on, get dressed and let's go"
"get dressed?, but I only have my armor and these rags"
"What?...argh..." she face-palmed herself in the face, then she went closer to him, she was about to speak until she smelled the horrible stench of his body "Uhhh, ptrr, ew...go take a shower now! I can't have you smelling like that around my friends" she said in anger.
"Okay, gosh...don't have to be rude about it" he said as he jumped off the sofa "Hey where's the shower?"
"Here" she said floating around the rooms to the bathroom
"Okay, thanks"
After ten to fifteen minutes Alan came out. He was clean for the first time in a while.
"Okay are you don- hey why is your shirt off?"
"This shirt is sweaty and gross, it would be dumb if I put it back on when am finally clean" he said holding the white, yellowish shirt far away as he could.
"Hmm...you got a point...wait here" the female vampire said as she went into her bedroom. Some minutes passed and she got back with a pure black shirt "Here, this used to be one of my ex boyfriend's shirts" Marceline handed the shirt to Alan, and he put it on. To their surprise it fit Alan perfectly, not too short and not too long.
"Awesome, thanks" Alan said while feeling the shirt.
"whatever, no problem" she said "Okay are you ready?"
"Ya"
"Cool let's go!"
