Chapter 2: Goodbye ooo!"

Finn Jake and flame princess had emerged from the bottom of princess bubblegum's castle about a half hour ago. As they had continued to head towards Marcy's house with flame princess gliding gently and Finn riding atop of his best friend, Finn was still thinking back to the fight and why he was able to pull off that sweet move.

Flame princess didn't fail to notice this. She remembered that Jake said sometimes after an adventure Finn like's to think about stuff. Still she couldn't help but feel concerned for her boyfriend.

"Hey Finn?, Fp started what are you thinking about?" she asked catching Finn's attention.

"Huh? Oh well I was just thinking back to that monster we fought. It was saying it wanted something." Finn spoke as he continued to think.

"You mean souls?" Flame princess questioned.

"Yeah souls. What are those things anyway?" Finn asked.

"Souls? Well those are the things that make up who you are. Everyone has a different soul inside of them. And everyone souls are different from everyone else's souls." She explained as she glided up to Finn.

"Wait, so what would happen if somebody lost their soul?" Finn asked slightly scaring flame princess. She had no idea why Finn would ask something like that, and even though she knew what would happen it wasn't something she wasn't very fond of explaining.

"Well, if someone loses there soul they become a lifless husk. The body will still be there but that's all that will be left, just the body. without the soul it's just a shell." Flame princess explained causing some tension to fill the air.

"Yikes…." Finn spoke quietly.

"Hey, if you know so much about souls does that mean you can see our souls?" Asked Jake making flame princess giggle.

"Of course not. Nobody can see other people's souls, at least that's what my father use to tell me. But he's lied about some stuff in the past so I don't even know if there's anyone who can see other people's souls or not."

"Well once we get to Marcy's I'm sure she'll tell us what's up." Jake spoke as he had dashed ahead. As they continued down the had soon reached Marceline's cave.

It was still as damp and dark as ever with her colorful pink house being the only thing that stood out in the cave. Little did they know that Marceline wasn't alone at her house.

As they neared her house, Marceline was busy working on an experiment with her friend Princess bubblegum or as she knows her as bonnibelle were working on an experiment together.

She was helping Marceline with some of her lyrics as she was slowly becoming frustrated by the princesses complex patterns. It was like de ja vu when they were trying to get the door lord for stealing their stuff.

"No Marceline, you need to strum half a lower key. That's the only way you'll be able to fall in synch." Pb explained as Marceline became frustrated,

"What the glob is a half note?" Marceline frowned as she couldn't follow any of princess bubblegum's patterns.

Before Marceline began to angrily strum chords trying to follow bonnibelle's complex directions, there was a knock at her door. She was relieved that someone had came so she could take a break from trying Pb's boring suggestions. When she opened the door she was surprised to see flame princess along with Finn and Jake at the door.

"Oh hi guys. I see you brought your girlfriend over." Marceline teased as she looked to Flame princess.

"Hi Marceline, we need to talk to you about.. Finn trailed off as he saw princess bubblegum in the corner of the room already glaring at flame princess.

"Oh, um… I didn't know princess bubblegum was here." Finn spoke quietly as he looked towards his ex- crush.

Finn and flame princess has been going out for awhile now. sure things have calmed down but princess bubblegum still believes that flame princess is too unstable to be in a romantic relationship with. Which is probably why she'd always get a little irritated by seeing him and Fp together.

"Pb came over cause she had some suggestions about how I can improve my music. Amway's why are you guys here? And why are you so jacked up?" Marceline questioned noticing the Finn's battle worn cloths.

"Uh yeah, that's part of what I wanted to talk to you about." Finn spoke as he Jake and fp came in the house.

"How's it going pyromaniac?" Pb asked coldly to flame princess. "Good. I haven't been playing with people's emotions lately so I'm just fine." Flame princess spat back in a colder tone.

"Oh that's real mature, go ahead and lean back on the past. You know you.." princess bubblegum was cut off as jake came in between the two women.

"Now now ladies let's just calm down, we don't want to do anything we might regret later." Spoke Jake calming down the two.

"yeah, whatever issues you two have take it outside so you don't brake anything." Said Marceline making Finn and Jake fall on the floor anime style.

"I don't think that's what Jake meant Marcy." Finn chuckled as he rubbed his head.

"Whatever, so what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Marceline asked as she descended onto the floor.

"Oh yeah! Can you tell us what this thing is?" Finn asked taking out the item they had retrieved from the serpentress from under the candy dungeon. Upon site Marcy had lunged in surprise at the jar.

"What the flip?! Where did you guys get an evil human soul?!" Marceline asked in excitement confusing the three, especially the young human.

"Did you just say…. Evil human soul?" Finn asked slightly frightened.

"Yeah, this soul you guys have here belonged to an evil human. I read in a book that they start out as pure souls devouring other innocent souls. In turn those souls become corrupt and become evil humans. This usually happens if a human is drove by fear or the desire for power. Though I didn't actually think I'd get to see an actual soul up close." Marceline said as she poked at the jar.

"You seem to know a lot about evil humans." Added Jake.

"Yeah well when Simon. Was still fun to hang out with he used to tell me stories about…." Marceline trailed off when she had came to a sudden realization.

"Oh crud, Simon said he was going to wizard city and mentioned something about human souls!" Exclaimed Marceline.

"WHAT?! that butt knows about this?!" Finn questioned in anger.

"Yeah, next to ninja's it's one of the things he talks about. I think he said something about planning to use the pure soul to lead him straight to the one of a hero." Marceline explained as she grabbed her axe base.

"One of a hero? But we already got one right here, what hero could he be talking about?" Asked Jake. "I think he means Fionna from his fan fiction, this could be another plot to go into the made up world he calls AAH." Explained pb.

"Another world? That's impossible, ice kings thought of some grunked up stuff in the past, but this one takes the cake. There's no such thing as other worlds are there?" Asked fp.

"Actually that's not entirely true, Thanks to the help given by "My" hero. Princess bubblegum emphasized angering the princess of flames.

"My research leads to believe that there may be pathways leading to other worlds, but I can't really say for sure." Said princess bubblegum.

"We should probably head to wizard city and see what he's up too. Were going to have to go in disguise so no one recognize' us though. We barley got away last time thanks to pb here." Jake frowned pointing at bubblegum.

"Whatever, let's just head back to the candy kingdom and get some disguises." Said princess bubblegum.

"Uh.. you guys go ahead.. I'll catch up with you guys In a minute." Finn spoke as he took a seat on the hard red couch.

"Whatever, come on…let's go before he finishes the ceremony." Marceline said as she flew out the door with princess bubblegum and flame princess following behind as they were both glaring at each other.

"You sure your ok dude? That fight didn't take the wind out of ya did it?" Asked Jake.

"No way man, I just want to relax a bit before I go. There's something I gotta check real fast. You go on ahead I'll catch up." Finn reassured his bro.

"Alright man, just meet us there when your done here." Jake said walking out the door.

As his brother left Finn had reached into his backpack and took out the box he received from his dream along with the key he got from the dungeon.

"This key looks like it will open the box. I just hope it works." Finn thought as he inserted the key into the box. as soon as he turned it he had heard a click as the top of the box popped open.

Inside was a handful of cartriges. Luckily Finn remembered to bring the holoviewer they had at their tree house with him. He wanted to look at all of the cartridges, but he knew his friends would be waiting for him so he only had time to look at one for the time being.

Before he inserted the first cartridge, he was curious about what was on the cartrigaes. He wondered could he deal with the emotional junk of how his father left him here in the first place. But he didn't have time for such thoughts .

He had put the first cartridge in the holoviewer and awaited for something to come up. After a few seconds the screen had came up showing a sort of city of some kind.

There were more humans then before walking around too. It showed a tranquil peaceful place. But before he could stare at the scenery any more a man had popped in front of the screen. It was a man who seemed to be in his 30's. he had short blond hair in the front and had a pony tail that reached down to his back. he wore a leather blue jacket with a black t shirt under it along with a black belt and long blue pants with black loafers.

"Hi HO kiddo! Bet your surprised to see me huh?" The man asked with a cheerful expression. Finn was confused as to who the man was. Maybe he was somebody who got in the shot?" He thought as he continued to watch.

"If your watching this that means you've become a strapping young boy. I bet your having your share of lady troubles too huh?" the man joked.

"But anyway, this is your father speaking Finn. I should probably tell you that your last name is mertnz. I'm sure your wondering where I am but don't worry about that right now. " right now I want to tell you that you do have real human parents. Me and your mother had you just before we set foot into the last fight. I'm sorry that I couldn't see you grow up, but there was something I had to do." He spoke with a serious tone.

"I should also tell you how I know Joshua here."

"Well, you see Joshua is a good friend of mine." Finn's father spoke as Joshua the dog had appeared on the screen.

"Hiya Finn!" Joshua greeted surprising him. Finn had no idea that his father knew Joshua.

"We fight together all the time destroying evil humans along with this young lady here." He spoke as a beautiful blonde haired woman that looked about the age of 24 had walked into view. She had blue eyes wearing a short sleeved jacket with a red top and blue long pants with black heels. "Finn, this is scarlet, this is one of my partners. These guys help me slay evil humans that wreak havoc on the town. It's one of the responsibilities as a meister to slay evil humans and collect souls. Speaking of which your probably wondering how we did slay evil humans. Well just sit back and watch." The man spoke as the three took a few steps back so there whole body's could come into view.

Soon Joshua and scarlet had transformed. Joshua had turned into a rapier style sword with a thin sharp red blade with a gold hand guard. Scarlet had transformed into a sword that looked like Finn's gold sword. Except the blade seemed to be larger then his. The blade was as large as a buster sword.

"This is their weapon forms Finn. every weapon has one. With their help we managed to keep this town safe." The man explained.

"Holy glob, I didn't know da-, I mean Joshua could turn into a weapon! That's so cool!" Finn exclaimed as he focused on the screen.

"You're probably wondering why I'm telling you all this Finn. it's because that one day you'll end up finding a way to this town. And your probably going to try to search for me when you do. I'm going to go ahead and tell you now that you'd be wasting your time. by the time you do find this town I'll be long dead before then." The man spoke bluntly depressing the young hero.

"but don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to take care of yourself. me and your mother know you will. Good luck kiddo. I love you." the man said before the message ended.

"Finn was sitting their disappointed, excited, sad, yet happy.

He was relieved to find out that he actually had a human father, but he was disappointed that he could already be good as dead before he even got the chance to meet him. And he didn't even see one trace of his mother on the cartridge. But he still had plenty left over that could have had her on any one of them.

As much as he wanted to look at another one, he knew that his friends must be waiting on him already.

"So I did have a human father. And Joshua knew him too. But why didn't he tell me, did Jake know too?" Finn began thinking as he put the box and the holoviewr back in his back.

"Oh well… I guess It'll have to wait till later." Finn spoke as he rushed out the door.

-Marceline and Princess bubblegum have joined the party!-

-Wizard city-

Finn, flame princess, Marceline, Jake and princess bubblegum were all nearing the camouflaged wall leading into the wizard city.

Finn was wearing an outfit that seemed similar to magic man's outfit, Jake was wearing a robe with a star on it with a yellow wig, Marceline was wearing a long black robe with a red ribbon and a sorcerer's hat and princess bubblegum was wearing the same outfit she wore from the episode from when they first entered the city with only a few alterations like the color of the outfit was dark purple with a pink necklace and flame princess was wearing a female conspirator's outfit.

"You got the tape recorder Marcy?" Asked Finn as Jake stretched up towards Marcy.

"Got it right here. Now remember, we looking for a building with a large tower." Marceline explained as they continued.

As they came to the wall Marcy had played the tape recorder that said "Wizards rule" in ice kings voice. The wall had disappeared and revealed the wizard city.

Nothing much seemed to have changed in the wizard city the last time they were there. On your side wizards were duking it out with each other and on your other side some fraud would be getting busted by the wizard police.

"So this is Wizard city? Geez, I hope nobody finds out were not really wizards." Spoke flame princess.

"Ah no worries Fp. They'll believe you if you say you're a wizard. You're a fire elemental right? All you gotta do speak some made up words and stuff and just burn anything in sight." Finn said simplistically.

"Really? I can burn anything in sight?" Flame princess asked with her hands already blazing.

"No no Fp, he means burn anything sight if we need to. If were still undercover then we don't need to burn anything." Jake explained calming down the pyro princess.

"Oh..Ok Jake."

"Yoiks." Marceline spoke bluntly.

"I told you.." Princess bubblegum said quietly as they continued to walk.

"Ok, so were looking for a building with a tall tower. Were can we find something like that?" Jake questioned as he rubbed his chin.

"Uh I don't know, maybe over there?" Finn asked pointing forward to a large tower that was so high you could probably touch the clouds from the height.

"Oh, hehe, right." Jake chuckled in embarrassment having missing something so obvious.

"Hey look, isn't that ice king?" Flame princess pointed towards Simon entering the very bottom of the building after looking left to right to make sure no one had saw him.

"There he goes! We must hurry before the ceremony is complete!' marcy rushed ahead of them with the rest following her.

"wait a minute, you never told us what kind of ceremony is this marcy!" Finn complained as he caught up to Marceline.

"This ceremony is performed by the strongest wizards once a year. How Simon convinced the council to go along with his idea Is beyond me, But we better get in there before it's too late!" Marceline said as they neared the door. But when she got close to the door she had bounced off some kind of invisible force and landed on her back.

"Agh… what the flip? What is this junk?" Marceline asked as she began touching the invisible wall.

"It must be some kind of force field the wizards put up around here. I could probably figure out a way to get passed it, but it might already be too late by the time we get through" Pb frowned as she and the others began thinking of how they were going to get inside.

But as everyone else continued to think Finn's gold sword(Scarlet) had began shining again.

"Hey, scarlet's glowing again." Finn spoke as he took out his golden battle worn sword.

"And just who is scarlet?" Flame princess asked with a jealous look plastered on her and pb's face. "Relax it's the name of my sword not another…. Finn had trailed off when he realized that his golden sword's true form was a little girl.

"Uh anyway let's see if this will work." Finn spoke nervously as he walked up to the force field.

He had held his sword out so the tip of it could touch the force field. When the tip of the blade touched the wall, a blue aura had shined on his blade for a short second and then disappeared as did the invisible force field.

"Alright were in!" Finn exclaimed as he quickly sheathed his sword back and headed inside.

"Finn? how did you…" princess bubblegum began trying to get the young hero's attention. But Finn couldn't hear her as he and Jake were already inside the building out of hearing range.

"Well, someone sure seems excited today. I wonder why?" Marceline chimed in as she entered along with flame princess giving a nyah nyah face at princess bubblegum.

She wanted to say something, but she dismissed it for now and followed behind her friends.

Meanwhile on the floor before the top floor on the tower, ice king, forest wizard, and toad wizard were standing in separate corners of the room.

In the center of the room was a hand drawn summoning circle with alchemic runes etched into the floor with a empty circle in the middle.

"It is nearly time. the moon shall come in line with the planet any time now." forest wizard spoke as he gazed up to the slowly moving moon.

"Ice king, did you bring what was requested?"

"Oh yeah dog I got the stuff right here." Ice king spoke as he took out a soul that was purely white in a jar that resembled his head.

"Very good, put the soul in the middle of the circle and let us begin the incantation." Toad wizard said as he held his arms out.

Ice king had set the soul down in the middle of the circle and quickly returned to his corner of the room. As they began the incantation , our heroes had finally arrived at the top with the help of Marceline's floating and Jake's super stretchy ability.

Finn had rushed into the room but had quickly jumped back behind a wall when he saw the wizards performing some sort of ritual.

"Holy biz, you were right marcy, they are performing some kind of ritual." Finn spoke as he gazed at the act that was being performed.

"But what's that weird glowing thing in the center there?" Jake asked as he peeked around the corner.

"That's a soul of a pure and innocent human. How ice king got one I'm not sure, but if these wizards have any plans for it then it can't be good.

"I think I can hear them chanting something." Spoke flame princess as they listened

(apologies, I'm too lazy to think of an incantation at the moment.)

The wizards had began speaking in some weird ancient dialect. As they did the circle around the soul had began to shine bright red as the whole room began lighting up.

The soul looked like it was trying to take a different form, but It was hard to make out as it kept shifting from shape to shape.

"It's working! Soon I shall be with you fionna and cake!" Ice king shouted receiving a what the fuck from the two other wizards.

"ICE KING! YOU SAID THAT THIS WOULD BRING US SOMEONE TO MAKE US UNSTOPABLE! NOT REALIZE SOME MADE UP FANTASY OF YOURS!" frog wizard shouted.

"Did you waste your time just for the sake of making your ridiculous fanfiction a reality ice king?! Asked an angry forest wizard.

"Oh come on guys I had to trick you cause I didn't think you guys would do it if I just asked you." Spoke ice king.

"We wouldn't have!" Shouted forest and frog wizard.

"See you just proved my point!" Argued ice king. But before they could continued Finn and Jake jumped out from behind the wall in battle position.

"YO ice king! What are you doing with that soul? Start talking before we have to break your face!" Shouted Finn as Jake turned his hands into spiked gauntlets.

"Oh great! As if we didn't have enough problems, now we gotta deal with these guys too? Way to go ice king!" complained frog wizard.

"Hey I didn't know these guys followed me!" Ice king spoke as Marceline was already aiming for his head with her axe base.

But she was blocked off by a tree branch forest wizard had summoned.

"We'll deal with you later ice king, first we must deal with these intruders!" Forest wizard spoke as Marceline hissed and quickly slashed the branch that was restraining her into pieces.

"You guys looking for a beat down, that's fine with me, let's do this!" Finn shouted as he drew his demon blood sword and scarlet(Sword)

But before they could engage in battle the red circle had suddenly diminished along with the soul.

"What the heck? why did everything stop?" Frog wizard questioned as he looked at the empty circle. But soon after it disappeared the room had began rumbling vigorously as if there was an earthquake.

"Ice king what did you do now?!" Forest wizard asked as everyone began losing there balance, except Marceline who could just float not feeling the tremors.

"I'm no genius, but aren't scary earthquakes a bad sign?" Jake asked as he began stretching uncontrollably and soon falling over himself.

But soon the trembling had soon stopped for a short time. the room fell silent for a moment as everyone was awaiting for something to happen.

"Is..Is it over?" Jake asked worriedly. After a few moments of silence a small hole had opened on the wall behind the three wizards.

"Huh? What's that?" Finn asked as he looked towards the portal..

"Uh oh…." Ice king said with a nervous tone.

"Uh oh? Why uh oh? Talk ice king!" Spoke Jake.

"Well the portal was suppose to open on the floor, not the wall." Explained ice king.

"So what does that mean?" Finn asked as the small portal had quickly grew to the size of a large vacuuming hole that was soon dragging things in.

"Oh Balls, this isn't good! This isn't good!" Ice king shouted as he tried to fly away. But the suction was too strong. Ice king tried to fight against it but his efforts were futile as the vacuuming suction of the portal was too strong.

In the end it easily sucked in the ice king into the void.

"Daaaang iiiitttt!" Simon shouted as he disappeared into the portal.

"ICE KING!WERE GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Frog wizard shouted as he and forest wizard were the next one's to be sucked in.

But it didn't stop there, soon Finn and his friends had began falling victim to the portal's suction as well. "Crap! Guys brace yourselves!" Marceline shouted as she began getting sucked in as well.

"Marceline!" pb shouted grabbing on to Marceline's hand as they were the next two to be sucked into the portal.

Soon Finn, Jake, and flame princess were left.

"Hang on guys!" Finn shouted as he stuck his demon blood sword into the ground as Jake was wrapped around him like a coat and he was desperately trying to hang on to flame princesses hand. But it made things even worse. Finn didn't have flame shield on him so his hand was slowly burning just from holding Fp's hand. At this rate either the portal would get flame princess by force or Finn would end up letting go due to the pain.

"Finn let go! You'll burn your hand off if you hold on any longer!" Flame princess screamed trying to get Finn to let go.

But he wouldn't listen. He was always stubborn and he wasn't going to stop now. despite the burning sensation running up his spine he refused to let go of Flame princesses hand.

But soon the force of the portal had began pulling her away from Finn and Finn's grip on the sword began to slip. Soon enough Flame princess's hand had slipped through Finn's fingers as she was the next one to fall through.

"FP!" Finn shouted as he quickly pulled his sword from the ground and jumped in after her with Jake still clinging on to his back.

"FINN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN?!" Jake asked as he closed his eyes as they dove into the portal. Finn didn't answer. he just fell through headfirst as he tried to catch up to flame princess. But as they continued to fall flame princess had quickly disappeared within the depths of the vortex.

"Now only falling was Finn and Jake falling through the portal. Soon Finn's body began to disappear. From up to his legs to his arms along with Jake.

"Ah. AH! I DON"T WANNA DIE YET!" Jake shouted as he saw himself vanish into thin air.

But before they completely disappeared Finn's gold sword had glowed blue as his demon blood sword glowed bright red with Finn himself being covered in an aura mixed of blue and red. Soon a white light could be seen at the end of the seemingly endless void.

"To be continued!" Finn and jake said in unison.

"Well, finally got chapter 2 down. Sorry if I made some of you who actually liked reading this had to wait. Anyway in chapter 3 finn and jake will finally arrive in Death city. Make sure to leave your thoughts or ideas for reaction commands in your reviews. Until then, this is Jack the hedgehog, and I'll see you later.

"CHAOS CONTROL!"
