Ch 1 A hero is found
It was early in the morning Joshua and Margaret were walking the kids outside in the forest right next to Boom Boom Mt to give them some fresh air and maybe prates fighting monsters if they could find any. Margaret being the overly protective mother that she was panicked over all the little things that the kids were doing like playing with sticks and bugs. It got so bad that Joshua had to drag her away and told the kids to explore the forest and beat up some bad guys so that they can toughen up.
"Well they're gone now Jermaine what do you think we should do"
"Well I think" Jermaine didn't get to finishes what he was saying before Jake shoved his hand into his mouth.
"Shhhhhhhh be quite I think I hear someone crying out in the distance it could be someone in danger and maybe needs our help we need to now"
"Jake we need to prosed with caution like what mum taught us to"
"Screw that Jermaine look what I can do" as Jake starched into the direction of the crying leaving Jermaine behind alone by himself he sighed and called himself a fool under his breath for trying to convince Jake to do things the safe way for a change knowing full well that his brother will never do things the "Safe way!" just like dad. After a few minutes of thinking to himself he started to follow the sounds of crying when he reached his destination he could see Jake in a clearing holding what looked like a small polar bear. Jake could hear his brother approaching from behind and turn to face his brother and began to walk towards his brother with excitement in his eyes.
"Hey bro look what I found a baby polar bear!" he said with a big grin on his face and stares in his eyes "but what is a polar bear doing so far away from the ice kingdom they never leave that part of OOO?" he asked hoping his brother with the big brain could answer his question.
Jermaine looked at the baby cube for a few seconds until he had realized that was not a baby polar bear he tried to think what it was but he has never seen such a creature before now.
"Jake that's not a polar bear"
"Then what is it oh Mr. I know everything tell me" he said in a sarcastic voice
"I don't know Jake"
"How do you not know you are supposed to be the smartest out of the two of us?"
"Jake, we are only 10 years old and for your information just because I am the smartest does not mean I know every creature in OOO, but I may know someone who can tell us what he is"
"Who?"
"Our parents dummy they have fought and or save every creature known throughout OOO so I'm pretty sure that they will know what that thing is" as he pointed to the child
"Hey he has a name you know it's Finn Mertens" Jake said defensively.
Please tell me you did not just name him like that right on the spot" as Jermaine crossed his arms and stared intensely at his brother.
"What! No it says it right here on this tag on the back of the beanie" Jake pointed out to his brother.
"Oh? Sorry, we should probably head back home to mum and dad now and tell them what we found so they can tell us what it is"
"Okay bro lets go back home, hold on tight here go" as Jake begins to starch his arm and wrap it around his brother who then began to panicked and struggled against the hold.
"WAIT STOP PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! YOU KNOW I GET MOTION SICKNESS WHEN WE DO THIS!" Jermaine screamed as loud as he could but Jake was just so excited to show his parents the creature he had found in the forest.
A few minutes later
Joshua and Margaret were at home doing what every family of talking dogs do Joshua as reading the paper to see if anything was happen in OOO he was reading an article that told Billy the grate hero of OOO was going to retire in a few years. This was bad news to Joshua he was remembering all the good adventures he had with Billy as his sidekick before he had meet Margaret and they became a duo "hmmmm maybe I should go visit Billy I haven't seen him in years what do you think doll face"
"I think that's a splendid idea honey we should and bring the kids they haven't seen Billy they were four year old, speaking of the kid's diner is almost ready when do think they will be" before she could finish her sentence she heard the sound of the door kick down "Well guess that answers my question"
"Mum dad look what I found in the forest can we keep it can we please!?" Jake begging his parents with is big wide puppy eyes.
Joshua and Margaret were confused was to what Jake was talking about so they turn their heads to see Jermaine walk into the house looking to be a shade of sickly green holding is stomach just when they were going to ask what happen Jermaine vomited all over the floor after that he wiped his face of the excess vomited and began to speak "why did you not stop when you know full well riding on you makes me get motion sickness?"
"Sorry bro but look Finn looks like he had a great time riding on me look" as Jake stretched arms with Finn in hand towards Jermaine. He could see indeed the baby was having a good time by the way he was giggling and for some strange reason his made Jermaine less sick and even put a small smile on his face but then it disappeared when he remembered when he overheard Jake asking their parents if he could keep Finn.
"Jake we are not going to keep him he may have a family he may need to go ….." (Barf) that vomit had caught him off guard and then he proceeded to fall on the ground and passing out from a lack of fluids.
"Oh glob honey you take care of Jermaine I'll take care of this one right here all right sweet pea"
"Okay Joshua just be sure to call me if you need me and also explain to me what the situation is okay darling"
"You can count on it doll face" as Margaret headed her way to Jermaine to pick him up and take him to the bath room to be cleaned of all the vomit that covered Jermaine and to give him some water as well to hydrate him. Joshua looked back down on Jake and waited for an explanation "so care to explain why my front is busted down or why there is vomit on the flood and…. what is that you are holding their boy?"
"Oh this is what I want to keep I found him in the forest but I don't know what it is neither does Jermaine but he said you would know right dad"
Joshua looked down at the baby and it only toke him a second to figure it out "Jake old boy that is a hyooman aka fish man"
"He don't look like a fish"
"That's because you just have to remove the hat that's where they keeps its gills and fins" Joshua want and reached for the hat and grabbed it by the left ear and slowly pulled it off only to revel a full head of short golden blond hair that seemed to shine and sparkle in the light. Joshua's eyes widen three times its normal size at the sudden realization that this was no hyooman but a human baby boy. Joshua's mind was racing with many different questions like how did Jake find a human? Are humans coming back? Are they going to destroy us? Or do they come in peace now? Or, or, or Joshua's mind began to slow down when a sad thought came to mind 'or could he may be the last of his kind' Joshua said in a soft sad voice
"What was that dad I could not hear what you said?"
"What? Oh never mind boy go to the dinner table and eat and the go to sleep well talk about it in the morning" as Joshua took the baby away from Jake he could see the baby was tired and already half asleep.
"So we're keeping him?!"
"Maybe dear boy maybe" as soon as he said that he saw Jakes expressions turn sad.
"That always means no" as he walk walked into the kitchen to eat.
As Joshua saw his son leave he began to smell something foul it did not take long to find the source of the smell "oh my glob you are one smelly baby I need to hand you over to Margaret to get you cleaned up"
After a long talk about the human baby which they found out was named Finn from Jake they decided to adopt the human as their own child simply because of Margaret mother's intuition saying he would be something great in time. They told the boys that they had to keep Finn being a human a secret or else they run the risk of people wanting to kill him, experiment on him, worship him or glob forbid use him in some sick dark ritual. The boys understood this and vowed to protect him and for many years to come the family saw the human grow from a baby to a soon to be hero OOO. And when that time comes they hoped Finn would be able to reveal himself to the people as a human and accept him for it.
