A portal opens up and you see Atomsk and TME exiting out of it before it closed behind them.
"What's up everyone? This is Atomsk here with my good friend TME." Atomsk said before he points the spotlight at TME.
"Yeah, and welcome to Atomsk's story which is now a collab story with him and I, just in case anyone is wondering if you remember the original Deal, then you should know what happens with Ash and Marceline… but don't worry, it won't last too long chapter wise before Finn starts to suspect something is wrong and plans a counter attack of sorts which gets him more than one lady as the story goes on, right Atomsk?" TME said with crossed arms.
Atomsk smiles before speaking.
"Right TME. Now before we start, I like to thank 3 people. First is you TME for helping me with the rewrite. Second, I want to thank Darkwolve45 for working with me on the original. If you read this man, I understand that you're busy so I'm not blaming you. And third to He23t for giving us some great ideas. Big applause to you guys." Atomsk said.
"Yeah, thanks He23t and Darkwolve45, hopefully we'll make you two and the readers like the story...it'll have a lot of drama, action, and romance, anything to add before we start Atomsk?" TME said while he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Hmmm...Nope. Let's start the story." Atomsk said before the scene changes.
The air of Ooo was cool and welcoming as it blew through the Vampire Queen's simple lavender painted house in a cave north of the Candy Kingdom.
But to the Vampire Queen, all the air brought was discomfort and uneasiness as she let out a sigh.
She began strumming her blood red axe bass with ease, having to adjust the strings before she found the right tone for each note as she began a soft melody as the light of the moon shined on her figure through the window.
The Vampire Queen's name was Marceline and she had long raven black hair tied in a ponytail.
Her hair was mainly unkempt and still extended down to her hips with ease. She had a feminine hourglass figure and an ample bosom.
Her skin was an incredibly pale from lack of blood, her skin mixed well with the only form of clothing she wore that night, a thin, oversized button shirt that was grey.
She wasn't even wearing shoes, socks or sandals.
The vampire had two circular indents on the left side of her neck.
Her green eyes seemed to shine like jewels in the moonlight which also caused her pure white fangs, the trademark of being a vampire to cast a slight glint upon contact with the light.
She about to start singing taking a deep breath before it was interrupted by a loud obnoxious knock at her door that caused her insides to shift in disgust.
She shifted her posture in mid-air, using the vampire power she absorbed from The Fool to levitate and float sullenly to the stairs that lead downstairs from her room to the living room.
She hated the thought of who was behind the door, dreading the moment for hours as she thought to herself in a sullen mindset.
'He's here.' She thought plainly, feeling her emotions begin to fade into icy suppression that became depression.
She took a deep breath and opened the door with a frown to reveal her ex-boyfriend Ash, wearing an overly smug smirk that tempted her to punch him in the face until he couldn't smile anymore, yet a part of her was filled with fear and anxiousness.
She felt weak under the immortal wizard's gaze as he blew his long white bangs from his mohawk out of his eyes to center itself like a divider in the center of his face, twin ponytails of white hair resting on his shoulders.
He wore a punk like full body suit that was pitch black with the sleeves torn, and a mustard yellow belt.
He was barefoot and his skin was a grey, pointy elf like ears extended up sharply and his lime green eyes seemed to be scanning Marceline up and down with complete confidence and control.
She wondered how this dingus had not got donked up in Wizard City by now for his sheer level of stupidity.
Ash spoke in a smug, supercilious tone that gave the vampire a headache every time she heard it.
"Hello Mar-Mar, ready to start the first two days of our little deal?" Ash said while he grins maliciously with a cocky expression, his sharp canine teeth glinting in the moonlight before Marceline remembered why she was letting such an ass even five feet near her without being vampire kicked.
-Flashback-
It was pitch black at night, even for Ooo, and Marceline was floating restlessly through the Cotton Candy woods on the edges of the Candy Kingdom.
She was wearing a striped red and black sweatshirt with sandals and torn up blue jeans.
Her hair was down, falling down to her feet in length with unkempt split ends covering the mess of hair.
She had gotten sick of listening to Princess Bubblegum spiel on about experiments and having responsibilities that had to take first priority before Marceline left.
All Marceline wanted to do was chat with the woman made of pure pink gum about a sick feeling she had been getting lately, as if she was being watched.
But Bubblegum had shooed Marceline out with outrageous screaming when she began to jab at how she had been single for decades and she could only get some as a thirteen year old.
She obviously didn't take it well so Marceline left, having easily levitated out through one of the many hundreds of massive people sized windows in her castle.
"No wonder Simon could get in so easily, combined with how useless those banana guards are, I'm surprised she hasn't been assassinated yet… Then again I guess several hundred years of experience as a war monger made her dumb to trivial matters like the Guild of Assassins."
Marceline spoke out loud to herself as a means to vent her frustrations.
She was about to make another remark about Bubblegum to the wind when a gold glint caught her attention in an empty meadow.
Marceline drew closer in curiosity, smiling sadly at a badly chipped sword harpooned into the center of the meadow.
The blade was made of pure gold, but it was chipped and dull, It shined gloriously even in badly damaged and abandoned state it was in.
It was a broadsword with a simple oval iron guard and circular pommel at the end of the grip. The grip was covered in worn duct tape instead of leather, and the pommel had an emerald increased in the center of it.
She laughed as she sat back effortlessly in mid-air to bask in the memories the blade held... Memories of an unforgettable friend and hero with an innocent knack of silliness and righteousness she believed couldn't be rivaled, even by the past Hero of Ooo Billy.
Finn the Human, who had mistaken a massive emerald that turned things to sand as a ruby to feed Marceline when she was going feral, who was so color blind that he didn't even know his original sword had an emerald instead of a ruby.
The boy that had helped her find a new home after kicking him and his brother out of their own home with ease.
The hero that had once been a boy had grown into a man before she realized it as she felt the memories of her years of interactions with Finn.
She then remembered how she herself had been saved by the hero.
She the Vampire Queen, daughter of Hunson Abadeer and heir to the Nightosphere, saved by a simple mortal child from many ranging conflicts.
She sighed as she looked around at the expanse of trees around her, the pink cotton candy bark flowing like clouds from the white mint tree.
The sudden breeze sent a deep chill down her spine, which striked Marceline as odd given the fact her undead body made her immune to effects of the weather.
A loud snap from a twig crashed through the silent night like thunder to Marceline before she whipped around to see a silhouette phase into the ground in the shadows of the thick woods.
She took one final glance at the golden sword embedded into the earth of Ooo before floating away in a panicked hurry as her instincts kicked into high gear.
She could smell a living being following her, keeping a good distance as to avoid her, it would have worked if it wasn't for the ironic stick to alert the vampire and put her on high alert. Her fingernails were sharpened to blade points thanks to the shapeshifting powers she absorbed from the overly traditional vampire known as The Hierophant.
'Glob dang it. I can't pinpoint this guy's position. I definitely don't want to be caught off guard here in the woods. Especially since that person phased into the earth with ease… Could it be a forest nymph?' Marceline's thoughts raced at a similar speed as her movements through the forest, she finally reached the outskirts of the forest and dove out with a paranoid spin and glare at the border of the forest.
If it was a forest nymph she had to be ready. Forest nymphs were known to see only their goals, making them incredibly skilled hunters and huntresses when combined with the immediate training in survival and hunting mastery that is passed on at a young age.
Just as her recollection of forest nymphs ended she saw the figure rise up from the earth with ease before casually walking out at the Vampire with little fear as she stood ready to pounce.
Then her alert nature shattered into complete rage at the face she saw.
It was Ash, wearing his usual smug smile while he held a wand made from a green stem with pink and red cherry blossoms at the ends.
Marceline's eyes were scarlet red as she hissed with fury at Ash, speaking with a growl of fury as her face shape shifted into that of a beasts.
"Ash!? You were the one chasing me?! No better yet stalking me?! Glob so help me if your reasoning for stalking me is even slightly ding-dong stupid, I will kick you in the boingloings until they burn in pain worse than the Nightosphere!" Marceline was fuming to the extent of using much of Ooo's slang as if they were curse words themselves instead of censored versions.
She hated the wizard in front of her with a passion that rivaled Bubblegum's passion of denying magic's existence.
Yet Marceline actually had personal reasons behind her hate instead of the pointless superiority complex Bubblegum had.
Ash scoffed before chuckling softly, speaking in a disturbed expression that made him seem slimy.
"Oh Mar-Mar, I would never be as coy to stalk you. Especially when you flaunt yourself to chumps to no end. Now babe, I believe from my intelligence gathering you have been feeling down as of late, is that correct?" Ash asked with a grin on his face.
Ash was a disgusting cockroach, but Marceline couldn't suppress the frown that formed on her face as she flinched.
He had hit her dead with a bullseye and his forming smug grin told her he had noticed as well which caused her to growl in frustration at her ex.
She had fond memories when he wasn't a complete creep.
But a similar amount of bad memories had outweighed his once positive self.
The old Ash she fell in love with in her immortal youth was long dead, Lost to an abusive emotional side that appeared when he delved deeper into the magic of Ooo.
She had noticed since Bubblegum's interactions with Patience St. Pim that she herself had become reclusive and desperate to be superior with her new found elemental powers over candy.
Marceline found the whole thing stupid, but even Simon had been preoccupied housing Patience.
Then Finn and Jake had too many adventures and peace keeping to even come see her for jam sessions.
She was lonely and it was actually the original reason she went to talk to Bubblegum in the first place before getting kicked out and sauntering through the woods.
Though she would rather eat a royal tart spiked with toxins than spend any remote time with Ash.
She was ready to dispatch him when he quickly spoke again, growing closer while threateningly holding with his wand as a ghost flowed out of the flower and cast dull insults Marceline's way.
"Now, now Mar-Mar, let's be adults about this. We are both hundreds of years old, so we can handle this like reasonable people. Now there is something I want from you, and I have a deal that may benefit you in for the long run. I want to make a deal." Ash said with a calm grin on his face which caused Marceline's eyes formed into slits.
Ash was a conniving asshole, but she knew he kept his end of any bargain no matter how deep the personal ties he had were.
He proved that when he sold Hambo to Maja the Sky Witch.
"Proceed with the offering of this deal of yours Ash." Marceline stated coldly, prepared to summon undead skeletons in case he tried to launch a surprise attack in case she let her guard down.
Ash spoke without hesitation, grinning smugly the whole time as a nervous bead of sweat dripped off his brow.
"Well, what I have to offer is the protection of the Human you love so much. Now before you say or do anything that only a chump would do, I will let you know that if I die, I have the entirety of the Guild of Assassins paid in full to kill the human if I die before I call off the assassination, and if you don't do what I want then I will personally torture the chump. He may be strong for a human… but he is only mortal." Ash said while his words grew dark as magic bubbled and blistered from his wand with a dark expression crossing his face.
Marceline felt herself on the verge of rage, having to bite her tongue to quell her anger. She hissed out her next few words in disdain.
"What do you want?"
Ash only smiled and spoke as if he was hurt by her words, but she knew it for a taunting façade.
"My Mar-Mar, so defensive over a chump. Well I want one thing and one thing only. I want your body. I want to have tier fifteen with you whenever I want and you will be my girlfriend again!" He practically yelled out the last words in euphoria, before Marceline smashed his crude sadistic perversions, as she let her anger out in a high pitched scream of a response.
"I will not do something like that you asshole! I'm not some fuck toy that will bend over for you whenever, wherever! I will most definitely not put myself through the embarrassing failure that you considered a relationship ever again!" She growls out before she pants from anger before recomposing herself, remembering what was at stake.
"I will do it on certain exceptions, since you're selfish asshole nature seems to have only inflated further well into your brain, which has shrunk. I will only have sex with you twice a month, the Saturday and Sunday of the first week of each month. But. You will not bring up the issue about getting back together ever again, and you will leave me alone and stop stalking me when it isn't the two days you're allowed into my abode. As long as I keep my end of the deal you're not allowed to do anything that will harm Finn or say a word about this to anyone.." She answered with a low growl followed by an ice cold glare.
Ash in turn let out a silent noise of contemplation as he listened to Marceline's exceptions to his threat.
He then spoke with a sigh, a disappointed expression covering his once smug face.
"Very well, I will agree to your terms, you're not allowed to tattle either Mar-Mar. I royal promise to the deal." Ash spoke with a frustrated tone which caused Marceline to grin darkly as Ash made a royal promise.
If anything she was hoping he would fuck up and break his promise.
She would love to see the Gumball Guardians vaporize the wizards face as horror fills it completely.
She knew though she would have to keep her terms. But she could deal with the terms she set, especially if it was to keep Finn safe in the meantime until she could figure out a plan to deal with her disgusting ex and his threats.
"Just remember Ash, if you harm Finn, your name will be more of a description once I'm done torturing you in the Nightosphere until I get bored and kill you… If the Gumball Guardians don't kill you first that is. I royal promise to the terms of this deal." Marceline said before she snapped around in an instant, ignoring the Wizard as his eyes seemed to scan her maliciously once again.
Marceline could swear she felt daggers practically poking her rear end from all the staring the Wizard did.
Once she made it to her house, she slammed the door as hard as she could without breaking off the hinges.
Her feelings were all conflicted as she pressed her back against the wall of her living room covered with family portraits that was opposite of her uncomfortable couch.
She slid down against the wall until she was curled up in the fetal position and began to cry into her knees as she shook from the conflicting emotions fading into pure sorrow and depression as she wallowed in self misery for a whole week.
-Flashback End-
"Hello Ash, let's just get this over with." Marceline spoke with a venomous snarl before she slammed the door shut after Ash sauntered in like a snail with an expression that would make even Glob shake their head in disappointment.
Marceline took the time to surround her home in a silencing field of magic as to avoid intruders. It made the illusion of the house being empty from the outside, and was sound proof and impossible to enter.
She was dreading every second of breathing the same air as her ex, but she had to do this. Not only for herself in a way to confront her fears, but to also protect the most amazing person Marceline had met since meeting Simon, or even Bubblegum for the first time.
As she let out a sigh when the spell finished she whipped around to see Ash finishing a sandwich which he had made by rudely helping himself to her food, earning him a low threatening growl and a scowl of disapproving annoyance.
Ash only smirked in satisfaction at her expression before he stood up.
"Shall we head to your room Mar-Mar?" Ash spoke with that smug grin.
Marceline sighed as she lead him while levitating to the ladder. She got in her room first quickly. Ash came after. Once Marceline closed the hatch, she turns around and sees Ash unbuckled his mustard yellow belt and stripped naked with little issue in front of Marceline who not only blushed, but looked away in a mix of disgust and embarrassment.
"Day one has begun Mar-Mar." Ash coed softly with a dark tone hidden in the softness of his voice.
Far off in the distance of Ooo, Finn let out a silent sigh after slicing a dragon in halve once again, wiping sweat from his brow with his muscular arm.
He only had a few more things to do and he could take a break at home. He let out a silent yawn as he looked up at the moon.
The celestial body taking vigil over the fragile world in suspense with a sense of all knowing while the scene fades to black.
The camera went back to Atomsk and TME who sat in chairs with laptops before they noticed the readers which caused TME to grin.
"Welcome everyone to the end of chapter 1, now some of you are probably wondering why this chapter looks familiar right?, well thats because its an edited version of the original Deals first chapter and this will happen with the other two before Atomsk and I work together on the fourth chapter for real, anything to add Atomsk." TME said with a grin on his face.
Atomsk grins before speaking.
"Well lets just say that after we edit the originals, the newer chapters are gonna knock their socks off." Atomsk said before chuckling.
"Not if they break the doors down to flame us for putting Marceline through this...get ready for anything Atomsk...things might get ugly." TME said before he equips a soldiers helmet and getting a serious expression on his face.
"No question about it." Atomsk said before he brought out his lightsaber.
"I'll be quoting a certain character by saying this… but to all readers...BRING IT ON!" TME said before yelling like joe from family guy.
"Deuces." Atomsk said before the scene fades to black while the duo arm themselves for the flamers.
