Hello again people! I'm back with the second chapter of my sequel to my story "Finn the blood king". Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter two: the story of Zane
"It can't be! It definitely can't be! My family is dead, they ALL are dead…" said Finn, clenching his fists and wiping a tear from his face. Jake looked at him sadly. Ever since Finn's father left him armless on that citadel, Finn wasn't the same, not even after his arm grew back, ever since he gave up on that plan of his to build a tower to space, he considered his father dead, but even though he agreed that his father was a jerk, Finn needed a family. He remembered how he was arguing with his pap's and yelling at him a day before he died, he remembered how hard it was for him to say goodbye to his father and how that shameful memory persuaded him up until now. "Listen, you've got to understand…" "No! I'm not listening to anything you have to say! You and you brother left me to die, I won't…" Jake then slapped Finn in the face so hard he fell on the ground. "Jake?" said Finn touching his now red cheek with tears in his eyes "Look Finn, that dude is clearly human, and that is enough for me to believe that there's a slight chance that he's saying the truth, and he might be a family member of you." "But they left me in the woods!" yelled Finn, hitting the ground, "No! Listen. When you were, you know, flame king told me that he burned your house because FP was born there and he kidnapped baby you and baby FP, leaving you in the forest…" "You are talking about FK, we both know that he might be lying!" "I know, but we can at least listen to his side of the story…" "Thanks Jake" "-Don't thank me, because if you aren't who you say you are, I won't hesitate to kill you…". The three sat down inside a cave and lit a campfire as Zane began to talk.
Zane POV (narrating):
Okay, so my story begins a thousand years ago, during a war called by you "the great mushroom war". My brother Martin was a scout on the west coast and I was a young scientist. Even though I was only 16, I was a genius so I was assigned to the research unit with my friend Helena Schwartz. There were 2 sides; the government, who believed that humanity can get peace by turning all the countries in the world into one, big nation, and the rebels, who wanted to be free to be their own, independent country. We were on the government's side, totally oblivious like the rest that we fought for the wrong side… Zane was inside a living room, sitting on a couch and watching TV while eating nachos. From the door, a young man in an army suit came inside, saying: "I'm back!". From the kitchen, a beautiful young woman with long blond hair and an apron came to him and hugged him "How the operation went, sweetie?". Zane then started to put attention to them. "-It was awful. We lost four men and the rebels took over the west side." He said sadly. "Awww, don't worry, sweetie, we will win…" she said, trying to comfort him "Thanks sweetheart" he said and they both kissed "Ah, man that's gross! Find a room, you two!". Martin then laughed and said: "Don you have a date with Helena?" "-It's not a date!" exclaimed Zane "it an important meeting, and you shouldn't.." he stopped as he looked at the clock and noticed he was late "Fuck, I'm late! Got to go!" he said while got up of the couch and out of the apartment.
I was part of a very important research group of scientists with my childhood friend Helena, a beautiful girl with pink dyed hair and one heck of an attitude. You see, a few weeks ago, before the war, an archeologist named Simon Petrikov discovered a mysterious crown on the depth of the pacific. The crown seemed to emit some sort of weird energy, which didn't seemed to correspond to any type of energy on the chart, and according to Simon, which became strangely obsessed with that crown, it also gave him dark visions of the future. After a few observations, we discovered that that crown had the unbelievable potential to change the structure of the atoms, objects and even the universe itself, something you would call "magic". We called that energy "the triple omega energy", but before we could do anymore research, Simon and the crown disappeared mysteriously… we tried for days to discover another source to that energy, assuming that the crown wasn't the only source existing, but nothing, until one day, I tripped on a microscope and spilled a few formulas on the basketball my parents gave me before the…accident…Anyway, that was the great day when I will get promoted by the governor and finally ask Helena out! But…it didn't turn out that way, not even close... Zane was running across the streets, he started at the sky and thought to himself 'this is it'.
He then came across a building and a little girl with black hair stopped him. He went down in one knee and pet her hair "What's up, Marcy?" he asked the girl "Zane, can you play with me?" asked him little Marcy "sorry, girl, but it's a big day for me today! Don't worry, I will play with you in the evening" "does this big day has something to do with Helena?" she asked, grinning. "What? How… why…GAH!" said Zane as he kept running while little Marcy stayed behind, giggling. …I was doing some serious investigation with Helena, when…inside the lab under the bridge which connected the city to its outskirts, Zane and Helena were doing a competition to see who can make the biggest chunk of gum in a minute. Both Zane and Helena's chunks were big, but when weighed, it was shown that Zane gum was heavier by a couple of grams. "Ha-ha, I won" said Zane. Suddenly, Helena noticed another chunk in her hair. She pulled it off, taking a piece of hair with it. She attached the piece of gum to the big ball of hers and it weighed more. "Nope, I'm still the champion" she said. "AWWW, it's got your hair!" said Zane "and your face" said Helena, holding the disgusting piece of gum, hair and saliva "Ha-ha, very funny" says Zane crossing his arms, annoyed. "Hm-hm" said a voice.
"Mr. Governor!" said Zane and Helena in union as they turned to see the governor and his bodyguards entering the lab. The governor was an overweighting man with chocolate brown hair. He was wearing a green cape with a golden chain and a hood which was a sign of respect to all humanity. Behind him were four bodyguards, each of them had a suitcase. "I can see that you guys are pretty busy over here, but even so, Zane, could you please show me the 'the biggest discovery in mankind's history' as you described it in your report?" "Yes sir, right over here…" said Zane leading the others inside a room with a basketball that was glowing with a green light "as you can see, a few days ago, I accidentally spilled a couple of liquids into this ball and it began to emit this weird light. As I studied this light I discovered it has an energy extremely similar to the triple omega energy, I decided to call it 'the triple O energy'" "oh, really?" said the governor with an evil smile "yeah but it has a high level of radioactivity, so you better stay ba…" he was pushed back by the governor and his bodyguards. Each bodyguard took out of his suitcase four pieces of an artifact that when put together resembled a crown. "What's that?" asked Zane "this" said the governor while putting the crown-like artifact on his head "is just a little something the guys in my secret lab made for me. With this, I will be able to control the triple O energy and rule the universe!" "That's crazy!" said Helena trying to stop the governor, but failing as one of the bodyguards shot her with a laser gun. She hit the wall, and it broke over her "Nooo! You dam, son of a bitch!" said Zane as he grabbed one of the bodyguard's guns, stunning all four and kicking the governor, making him trip over the basketball. When he stood up, the light from the basketball passed to him "What's going on?!" he asked "crap, it's getting unstable!" said Zane. Zane ran out of the lab as a green explosion was made. Inside the lab, the governor was twitching of pain as he began deforming; his skin and meat melted, horns grew on his head and he grew up by a couple of meters "Ahhh! You will pay for this Zane… mark my words! I will kill you, I Will KILL EVERYTHING!" he became the creature later known to everybody as- 'The Lich'.
As Zane saw the explosion, he looked as a big mass of gum was splattered all over the bridge. A huge beam of green light emerged from the ruins of the lab, and turned into a storm of green lightnings that changed the shape of everything they touched; one of them even removed a big chunk of earth and send it to space. Zane grabbed a futuristic looking bike and rode it towards the town's outskirts. He broke into his apartment, where Martin and his wife were frightened "what's going on here Zane?" asked him the woman "something really bad" responded Zane "c'mon, to the basement!". As they came down the stairs, Zane pushed some buttons and what seemed to be a big refrigerator opened "what's that?" asked the woman "it a freezing machine" said Zane "why would you build such thing?!" asked him Martin "because I wanted to see the world in a thousand years later when I turn 50, you know, seeing the future before dying and crap, but since the situation is critical, we ALL have to get inside now!" "no way I'm getting in that creepy thing you built" said the woman "just…go!" said Zane pushing her inside and letting his brother pass before he goes in and shuts the door behind him, and a red light turns on.
After a thousand years, which seemed like a second inside that freezing machine, we came out… after a thousand years, the red light on the freezing machine turned green and the door opened. Martin, Zane and Martin's wife came out from the what's left from the apartment and saw a whole new, colorful world with creatures in all sizes and shapes "WHAT …THE…FUCK?" said Zane. At the beginning, we weren't so good at understanding their ways of thinking and acting, but slowly we began to adapt to their "special attitude", Martin even kept his service as a soldier at princess bubblegum's palace-"Wait, did you said my dad served PB?" let me finish Finn, anyway, it wasn't long before Martin and his wife had a child. We thought we could finally be happy, but we were wrong… Martin and Zane were heading back home, both holding a cake lady from her feet and arms "leave me now, you jerks!" she said, trying to set herself free "relax, dessert princess, we are just going to have a little dessert with you…" said Zane "for the last time, it's desert princess!" she said. Both boys came back to their house holding her, but dropped horrified at what they saw, and she ran away. Their house was burning, and they both kneeled "No!" screamed Martin as their house was burning to ashes.
The house was gone. Martin's wife was dead and their child, Pen-that was your original name, but I think Finn fits you more- was nowhere to be found, probably kidnapped. Ever since then, things just got a lot worse; I began drinking root beer nonstop and my brother Martin came to a life of crime, committing bigger and bigger crimes until one day, he committed a cosmic crime trying to assassinate the cosmic owl in a desperate attempt to bring his wife back. I thought every hope was lost, until one day, after a crazy guy named "the blood king" tried to destroy earth- now called "the land of Ooo" apparently- rumors about the hero who saved us all spread across the land; a hero called "Finn the human", son of Martin the human. After I heard that, I searched you all across the land in my motorcycle, until I saved you from those golems, and here we are…
"But how can I be sure you're not lying to me?" asked Finn "here," said Zane holding a picture which was burned on its edges "maybe this will help you believe me. I found it between the ruins of my house" "no way!" said Jake "that's you!" he said to Zane "yeah" said Finn "and that's my dad, and baby me, and…" he stopped looking at the blond haired woman who held him in her arms "my mom…" (just for the record, Finn's mom looks like an older version of Fiona, without the hat and a blue dress) "Listen, I know it's hard for you, because it's my fault all… 'this' happened" he said pointing at their surrounding "but can you please forgive me?"Finn looked at the picture, then at Zane, and smiled "sure" "really?" asked Zane, not believing what he just heard "yeah, because without you, I couldn't find my brother, I wouldn't have all these awesome adventures and most of all, I wouldn't meet all my friends…" "Wow, so…family hug?" asked Zane "family hug" said Finn and they both hug. "Hey! Don't leave me out of this!" said Jake while he stretches his arms around them to a big, choking hug. They all fell to the ground and laughed.
Well, that's it for now. In case you were wondering, I won't make any pairing unless the fans demand it, or unless I will change my mind about it. Don't forget to comment! See you!
