Author Note: Well here is the first chapter for my second story, "The Hero & The Bandit" I thought of this when I was writing chapter 9 of "Finn's Soul." Pretty much it is a strange ship of Finn and Bandit Princess. I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun to write and for you all to read. Anyway let me know through your reviews and messages if you like it, if you lovely readers don't then I will just leave it as a One-Shot story for later development or something like that haha.

12/27/2016 Edit: Had to change the name of something in the story to make more sense with the translation.

You're all lovely readers!

Finn eyes opened to see a stone ceiling above him, he felt pain shoot through his head as he blinked and tried to sit up. "What the flip, it feels like my head is going to explode." Finn complained in pain as he held his head with his dirt covered hands. His hair was cut to a short length. He panicked for a moment before realizing his hat was now sown to a blue hoodie he had received as a present from Raggedy Princess. He pulled the hood over his head, and looked at himself. His seventeen year old body was badly bruised and cut across his body, his pants and shirt had burn marks on them. It then came back to him at that moment that he was tased with enough electricity to knock even him out. By the banana guards. Finn began panic as he ran over to the bars of the candy dungeon and began to call out for a guard. "Hey there is some mistake, it's me Finn!"

The teenager was hyperventilating as no one had come to his request. "What the fuck is going on, why am I locked up?" Finn asked out loud not noticing his cell mate laugh behind him in a rude yet excited feminine voice. "Why look at this, looks like the human is now on the level of a criminal, the one and only Hero of Ooo, betrayed and stuck with the one who he threw in prison." When Finn turned around he was greeted by a woman around his age sitting against the wall that had pale white skin and a blue dress like robe with dark brown stockings that went up to her knees. She had dark grey hair on her head that went in between her large darkening horns, she was grinning a dark sharp toothed grin as her olive green eyes made contact with Finn's baby blue eyes. Finn didn't recognize her right away since she had grown her hair back from where she shaved it. "Bandit Princess!" Finn exclaimed as he felt his heart beat increase. "I can smell your anxiety from here, don't worry I won't kill you, if I had the intention you wouldn't have woken up." She stated this emotionlessly as her grin faded causing Finn to gulp and completely face her. "What do you mean betrayed? There is no way Bubblegum betrayed me, we are like best of friends. I'm sure as hell am not a criminal like you!" Finn yelled out boldly as he felt his head get light from all the confusion. The reply made his heart and hope sink. "Sadly hero that is the truth, you were betrayed by your friend and falsely accused of planning to destroy the world because of your human heritage. Sadly a lot of people believed this and your 'friend' couldn't let herself be seen in a bad spotlight with the other Kingdoms of Ooo. So you're in the dungeons with me, they hoped I would kill you and then they could execute me for killing you and then take over my Kingdom." Bandit Princess stood up with a smile, stretching out as she let out a purr like sigh of relief. "Too bad for them I need you alive, and I'm not one for holding a grudge on someone like you who sticks to their beliefs. We are similar in a way Finn, except my beliefs are bad too you." She cackled loudly, holding her stomach as she thought she was amusing, even though Finn was completely silent.

"So what's going to happen? This will get resolved as only rumors right?" Finn was clinging to this last bit of hope as he asked these questions, only for Bandit Princess to shatter them like glass. "Your execution will be in an hour and displayed for all of Ooo to see. I'm sure many want to save you or stop this, but there is no time and they can't stand against every Kingdom of Ooo."

Tears went down Finn's face as he fell into a depressed state, fearful of death and his heart was crushed knowing no one would even try to defend him. "Why even bother telling me this? Is this one finale 'fuck you' for everything!?" Finn screamed at her, not knowing what emotion he felt as he had an expression of rage and sadness. Bandit Princess slapped him hard across the face causing Finn to go silent and look at her, rubbing the stinging mark on the side of his face. "wha-" Finn was cut off by the serious stare and tone of his former enemy. "Listen to me, I am trying to help you, but you need to calm yourself the fuck down or it will be too late!" Finn was silent as he looked into her eyes and nodded as he took slow deep breaths, his heart rate slowing down to normal as Bandit Princess continued to speak. "Now I have a means of escape for the both of us, but if we do this we will have virtually nothing to go back to, only each other understand me? Nod once for yes, twice for no." Finn replied with a single nod with gained him a surprisingly soft and mischievous smile "Good, now I have a relic from my kingdom that allows me to create a portal to any location I desire. The downside is it takes three full months for me to use it again. It belonged originally to the King of Thieves, but he gave it to the Bandit Kingdom to keep the peace between the two, it's called the Oculus Quaerere." Bandit Princess reached into her cleavage nonchalantly causing Finn to cover his eyes as his cheeks turned bright red. "Look dumbass." Finn uncovered his eyes to see an amulet around Bandit Princess' neck, it was designed as a flat circular gold eye with a purple gem for the pupil. Finn blinked as he looked at their means of escape. "This is our way out?" He thought as he watched Bandit Princess walk over to a wall with the amulet holding it up as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her horns beginning to shine white as the amulet began to generate a beam, creating a circular portal slowly. Finn was excited, but then he grew weary. "I'm alright with throwing everything away, but what will happen to those I care about? Especially my brother."

Bandit Princess spoke without any movement or opening her eyes as the human grew closer to her. "Well if I had to guess they would only be questioned a lot for your whereabouts and etcetera. They only want you died, not other important figures of Ooo. So I feel it would be better if we survive rather than contemplate our last rites in this cell." Finn nodded in agreement well speaking wearily. "Ya, I want to figure this out and find a way to clear both our names, since you will be tied to me soon as an accomplice, I refuse to allow these bastard to play use like we are puppets."

Bandit Princess let out a surprised chuckle at this as the portal was finished, the beam fading from the amulet as the purple gem changed its color to green. "well let's get going then." Bandit Princess stated with anticipation. Suddenly loud footsteps were approaching their cell from the entrance. Humanoid robots made of sharp steel surrounding them, one changing its arm to a firearm as their red soulless eyes locked onto their targets. Gun fire filled the room as Bandit Princess let out a terrified shriek that even caught herself off guard. She closed her eyes tight afraid that her life was already over. She felt someone grab her and run through the portal shielding her with their own body, the portal quickly blinking out of existence behind them. She opened her eyes to see Finn holding her bridal style, blood coming from the edge of his mouth as he gritted his teeth with an agonizing expression. "Why did you shield me like that you fucking dumbass!? Are you trying to get yourself killed!" The only response she got as she was placed on the ground left her with her mouth agape. "You saved me by allowing me to escape with you, so my body just moved… I don't want to lose anyone important." Finn collapsed onto the dried grass next to Bandit Princess, the two in a ravine in the Grasslands, far from any kingdoms. She quickly moved to check his vitals, his pulse was slow but steady, she quickly removed his bloody jacket and blue t-shirt, exposing three bullet hole in his back, thankfully they had gone straight through and missed his vital organs. Bandit Princess let out a sigh as she quickly got to business to bandage and disinfect Finn's wounds. Praying to Glob that she wouldn't lose her new partner in crime and possibly only true friend.

Well there it is ladies and gentleman. I was very excited with writing this and Chapter 13 for "Finn's Soul" since my writers block is finally ending. Hope you all enjoyed the stories and have a wonderful day!
