Hello. This is my first fan-fiction story, and of course, I want reviews.
I'm not going to keep blabbering, on to the story.
Oh, and I am probably the most fucked up person you will ever know. Good luck.
Finn stepped out into the sunlight. His clothing, a black robe with red streaks going from shoulder to toe, was torn to the point where it looked as if a were-wolf had mauled him. He sighed, the sun letting memory flow back to him. He pulled his hood on and picked his staff, (a black stick with red streaks twisting to the top which had a spiked point), off the wet ground. He slowly started to the nearest kingdom, the Candy Kingdom. Finn's crown dangling from his belt, which was just a think black rope around his waist. A money pouch bounced from the belt along side a dagger.
Along the way he passed a river, reminding him more of his horrible past. He hated nature back then, but now because he has lost everything, Finn quite enjoyed it. It didn't only remind him of the past, but more of his family. The family he once had, a very long time ago. He began wondering why he had ever made that deal with Hudson Abadeer, and never sold the horrible crown to that Simon Petrikov.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a voice.
"Halt. State you business." Two banana men, wearing helmets and holding spears blocking Finn's path, said in emotionless voices.
Finn coughed into his hand, "I am here to speak to Princess Bubblegum. I, am Finn, the Ice King." Finn pulled the crown from his belt, flashing it towards the guards.
"Right through here, your majesty." A look of fear wiped across both their faces, for they had heard the stories.
Finn walked down the candy path, admiring the candy buildings. They were truly works of art, even though they were candy. It seemed that they would look good, but they absolutely tasted horrible. Finn had found out the hard way.
Coming to a candy gate, Finn was surprised to see no guards this time. He shrugged it off, and opened the gate. He walked towards the big candy steel doors. Once arriving in front of them, to his surprise a small peppermint man opened them.
"Master Finn, the Princess is aware of your presence. Please, let me escort you towards her lab."
Finn nodded, following the little peppermint man through the hallways then up a staircase. Coming to a candy steel door, the peppermint man turned to Finn.
"Go in when you are ready, your Majesty."
Finn nodded and opened the door, slowly walking in.
"Princess Bubblegum?" He said aloud.
"Ah yes, hello Finn. How have you been?" She ask in the nicest tone, turning from her papers.
"I've been okay... Look Princess, I'm going to cut to the point. I need a machine that will let me explore my mind. I have forgotten something, something very useful, in my book. Please, anything?"
Princess Bubblegum hesitated before opening a cabinet. "I have only one machine, but you will have to stay here to use it. I will get Peppermint Butler to escort you towards the machine's special room,... Here take this." She slipped out a pair of black goggles.
"You need this for the machine to work... Please Finn, when you go through your memories, don't hurt yourself."
Finn nodded, "Thank you Princess."
Peppermint butler opened the door, "You needed me Princess?" He ask kindly.
"Yes, will you please escort Finn to the mind room?" She ask, turning back towards her papers.
"Yes, Princess. Finn, right this way." Peppermint butler walked out of the room, Finn trailing behind. They walked down the corridor once more, coming to a big blue door labeled "MIND", Peppermint Butler opened it for Finn. Finn stepped in, letting Peppermint Butler follow in behind him.
"Please lay here." Peppermint Butler patted a metal bed. Finn laid down on the bed, which had a hole right where the back of Finn's head was.
"This may sting a little... Please put the goggles on." Peppermint butler ask while pressing buttons and setting things up.
Finn slipped the goggles onto his head, letting them cover his eyes completely blocking his vision.
"This is the stinging part Finn." Peppermint butler told as he picked up a metal tube. He held it to the hole in the back of the chair.
"Three, two..." Peppermint Butler jabbed the piercing edge into the back of Finn's head.
Finn screamed in pain, alerting Princess Bubblegum the process was almost over. Peppermint butler slid back to the computer's keypad, and starting typing very fast. He press the enter button loudly, allowing for the Monarch of Ice to slip into his mind.
Finn was in a room, which was filled with television screens displaying his memories. Finn cautiously walked around the room, looking for the right memory.
He was about to press a certain button to see if he had it right, but he heard Peppermint Butler's voice boom from no-where.
"Finn don't press that! Listen to this first; if you press a button for a memory, the machine will send you back to it, letting you re-live the memory exactly like the way it played out. Be careful though, if you are to feel pain or any other emotion within the memory, the machine will send waves of electricity hitting the nerve of emotion in your brain that you had felt. Well, that's all you need to know for now- oh, and p.s., the machine tends to have random earthquakes within the room. Be careful-"
Peppermint's voice cut off, and Finn was left alone to choose which memory he wanted to be in. He was about to start searching again when the machine started rumbling, and the room shaking. Finn tripped towards the nearest wall, accidentally pressing a button.
Finn's heart almost jumped out of his throat, for he had seen which memory he had picked.
"NO!" He yelled as loud as he could, but it was to late.
