Chapter 2: Thinking

Finn POV

As we walked around exploring the Kingdom, I could see that this place had many different places to go to. There were places were one could buy videogames and videogame consoles, didn't sound as playing on BMO though. There were even nice restaurants, we stopped at one and bought ourselves a nice Pizza for lunch. Next we got to clothes store where I stopped and said that I wanted to get some new clothes.

As I looked around the place, I saw many cool clothes, some with interesting designs on them like a cool demon face or x made of swords. But I decided to settle on a place pair of jeans and a white shirt that I wore a blue hoodie over with a white hood. It was time to try and leave my past behind me and get rid of my old childish polar bear hat. Yet as I tried to throw it away after donning my new clothes, I realized that I couldn't. So instead I put it in my backpack and left to see more of what this place was like.

"This is a nice place," I said to Solaris as we walked around.

"It is, but sometimes it can get pretty violent."

"In what way," I asked.

"There are sometimes violent protests in the streets and even assassination attempts on my wife's life. Others times they even try and kill me in hopes that my death would break her. You wouldn't believe how many loyal guards died in their line of duty or turned out to be spies and would be assassins."

"Sounds pretty terrible. Why does this happen."

"There are those Finn who don't agree with the decisions that my wife has made and because of that some of them react violently to those decisions."

"I see, what are some of these decisions that they don't agree with."

"One of them is what I mentioned before Finn, that we don't allow contact with any of the other species. Some think that we shouldn't be hiding our existence from others and should instead reach out and try to make alliances with them. They think that good can come from sharing knowledge with others."

"And you don't let them do this because of what you said before. You're afraid that the people of OOO will react in fear to knowing that humanity isn't as endangered as they thought."

"Yes Finn, we're afraid of the possibility that war will be started from making contact with them. We aren't willing or ready to take such risks yet Finn. While without a doubt we would win since we have far superior technology and even supernatural powers, we don't know how many lives would be lost in the process. So we chose what is a safe and sure outcome."

"I see what you're saying Solaris, but don't you think that just letting things grow violent like this could also lead to more serious damage then war with OOO."

"What do you mean Finn?"

"What I'm saying is couldn't this difference in opinion lead to something like civil war one day. And unlike war with OOO, this war could be far more dangerous and even deadly. So wouldn't it be better to make contact with OOO instead and thus null one of the reasons for this violence."

He chuckled at my response, but showed that he took what I said seriously. "Smart boy Finn, how did you get to be so smart?"

"I… uh had a lot of time to reflect on what consequences can come from certain actions after… I failed to see the consequences of my own actions."

"You sound like whatever this was, was a painful experience for you. Mind talking about it Finn."

"Sort of. It's in the past and there's nothing I can do to fix it. Better to move on rather than think about what could have been different."

"True, but we can always plan for the future by learning from the past. Always remember what you did Finn less you forget about it and make the same exact mistake one day."

"Well I…" suddenly I was tackled to the ground by Solaris wondering what that was for. It was that I noticed that he was bleeding. "We're under attack," I thought.

"Stay down Finn. I'll handle this."

"I can help," I said.

"No Finn, these people are far more dangerous then what you ever faced. I'll deal with them."

I saw him get up and in his hand materialized a cool looking sword. It was long and looked very durable. It even glowed with powerful looking symbols etched across it. I then saw him use it to deflective some incoming energy attacks right back at their attackers. I heard painful cries coming from where the shots were originating, so I knew it was a direct hit. Then one of them stepped out from hiding wielding his own sword, he could only be the leader of this group.

"I was hoping to end you quickly while you were distracted talking to that kid, but it seems you didn't let your guard down enough. Seems I'll have to do it myself," he said arrogantly.

"You should know that you're not strong enough to beat me."

"We shall see."

With that he charged at Solaris and got into a flow of constant sword slashes at him. They both kept attacking and blocking so fast that it looked like lighting was made every time their swords clashed. Yet I could see that Solaris was starting to lose ground against his attacker.

"Your old Solaris and weak. You're not as powerful as you used to be," he gloated.

"That maybe so," he said through gritted teeth. "But I still got a few tricks up my sleeve."

It was then I saw Solaris let out some sort of blast of energy at his attacker. Whatever it was, it threw the guy all the way into a nearby wall that instantly caved in around him. His attacker was still conscious amazingly, but that didn't matter as another blast was let out that hit him square across the face instantly knocking him out this time. Suddenly some guards came running up to see what was going on.

"Solaris my lord are you alright," they asked.

"Yes I'm fine," he said while trying to hide the pain in his voice. "Just take this guy and his followers away and lock them up."

"Right away," they said as they started to pick the fallen attackers up and drag them away somewhere.

"Are you really ok," I asked him.

"Yeah I'm fine Finn; I've recovered from worse than this believe me."

"I do. Also what was that cool magic you used against those guys anyway," I asked excitedly.

"Ah that, we choose to call it telekinesis or TK for short. It comes from unlocking more percentages of our mind Finn. I can teach it to you if you want."

"Wow really, I would love to do that."

"Don't think it's easy to learn Finn. It will be hard and very demanding. Are you prepared for such a thing?"

"Totally. I can do anything I put my mind to."

"That's the spirit Finn. Let's get back to the castle first so I can patch up and then we can start a bit of training soon afterwards."

"Gotcha," I said excitedly at what I was about to learn.

Jake POV

"Wonder where Finn is," I wondered. "Haven't seen him all day. Where could he possibly be?"

"He's probably out exploring some dungeon," said BMO.

"Yeah he's most likely out adventuring. Wish he told me where he went though. Can't help but worry about him though since he's my little bro."

"You shouldn't worry Jake; he can take care of himself. He's the Hero of OOO after all and you don't earn that title easily."

"Guess I'm just being overprotective. Well I'll talk to him about letting me know where he goes off to for next time when he gets back. I don't want to worry about him and not know where he is at the same time."

"How Finn puts up with a nosy brother like you I'll never understand."

"And you never will BMO. Only bros can understand bro love."

Suddenly the phone rang and I went to answer it to see who it was.

"Hello, who is it."

"Hi Jake, it's me Princess Bubblegum. I need you and Finn to come over to help me with another mission."

"Oh sorry Bubblegum. Finns not here right now."

"Really well where is he."

"I actually don't know where he is. I haven't seen or heard from him all day."

"Hmm, how long exactly has he been gone?"

"Uh, let me think. I guess about since I woke up which would be 8 hours, but we shouldn't worry too much since it hasn't been too long."

"All right, just tell me when he returns. I need to speak with him as soon as possible."

"Will do Princess."

"Good bye Jake."

"Later Bubblegum."

At that I hung up the phone still wondering where Finn could have gone off to.
