Hello Fanfic community, what time is it? Preview TIME! So yeah, I dig this show Adventure Time a lot, especially the continuity episodes that flesh out character relations. I notice right now 70% of adventure time fan fiction is more shipping of Marceline and princess bubblegum, 15% is some OC Mary Sue being Mary sues, and 10% is some retelling of Ice kings past without expanding on it, and 5% actually features Finn and Jake. But hopefully the episode "I Remember You" has influenced people to think beyond all the shipping and appreciate the depth that is being added to character relationships. I know it definitely has influenced me to write this story.
As you can probably guess from the title, this will be my take on what could have happened before, during and directly after the Mushroom War. This is only a preview because I want to wait until after "The Lich" to see if can give me any more food for thought. So lemme know what you guys think of this.
THE GREAT MUSHROOM WAR
"Date: April 19th 2XXX. Location: Inner Caves of Machu Picchu. Hello, my name is Simon Petrikov and this is my 14th expedition in search of relics of the past. As I stated on my previous recording, I have been given Intel on the possible location of an ancient treasure, guarded by the treacherous landscapes of the great mountain Machu Picchu. It has been a long journey through the rugged plains of Peru, and the rocky cliffs of this magnificent landscape, but I have finally arrived inside one of the many caves hidden within the mountain. Unfortunately at this juncture, we have been halted by a blockade interrupting our path. Oh, I'm sorry I've forgotten my manners. Yes I have not come alone, accompanying me is my…"
Before he could finish the video, the cave began to quake. Rock and debris began tumbling down from the walls and the ceiling. Simon began running, trying his best to evade the rubble descending upon him. He tried his best to salvage his camera and the footage he captured, dropping it in the process. Before a rock could crush it he picked it up and began running for cover again. He was able to duck under some rocks in a corner as the walls slowly became lined with rocks. He closed his eyes until the destruction finally stopped. There was still a wide enough opening for him to escape out of the rocks from.
Once he was freed, he saw before him a small mountain of rocks where a glimmer of light peaked through from the roof of the cave. Atop the mountain stood a young man with a blade shining in the sunlight. It had a twisted brown grip and a copper guard with a blue jewel encrusted in its center. A golden ball glowed at the bottom of the hilt. A little brown dog barked beside him in excited.
"Yo Simon! Check her out! Looks like this cave has some pretty crazy stuff in it after all!" The man said brushing aside the blonde hair that covered one of his blue eyes.
"Do you have to be so hasty all the time? I almost died back there!" Simon said. He started brushing off the dust and dirt off his brown coat.
"Oh, hehe, sorry. But an adventure ain't an adventure without a few things getting banjaxed." The man said sheathing his sword.
"Remember we're trying to find ancient artifacts of the past. They're very delicate so take care not to be so reckless."
"Yea yea whatever."
"Well luckily the tape isn't damaged too badly. Have you found a way forward?"
"Yea thanks to lil Jacky sniffing out a river on the other side. We squeeze through this little hole and there's a whole world of adventure on the other side!" He said scratching the little dogs chin. Jacky replied with excited back leg kicking.
"For the last time Pen this isn't an adventure it's an expedition to find-"
"Yea yea, we'll find some of those trinkets you like too." He interrupted.
"Well ok, let's trudge on. But this time, perhaps I should lead?" Simon suggested.
"Whatever, I'm good with anything as long as we get into some mighty action." Pen said slamming his fist into his hand.
They continued to walk through the cave as the light shined brightly above them. This was just the beginning of the tragic story of these two men.
So I hope this has interested some folks. I normally don't do OCs but I assure you I have a plan with him and this story. If you like adventure time and I do my job as a writer well then you should enjoy this story. lemme know in the reviews.
