(Okay guys here is chapter three! Hooray! =D And to answer your question, I chose lemon to be Marceline's weakness because no one would expect that. Everyone expects garlic to make vampires weak, but lemons not so much. Anyway, here we go!)
Inside Burt's secret lair in the mountain, he and his brother the Ice King plan their next move…
"Yogurt chip?" Ice King asked.
"No," Burt answered. "I'm trying to think of how we can attack Finn, Jake and Marceline properly."
"Don't be so formal brother. I'll use my ice powers, and you use the powers of your staff." Ice King pointed to Burt's long brown staff, with a red orb at the top. Whoever Burt points this orb at a red attack light would be sent out, if hitting the target it would most likely be fatal.
"Yes, but strategy is the key. It's probably where you failed, when you battled Finn and Jake in the past."
"That's not true! They had the advantages! The first time they took all six of my potential brides, and the second time they nearly killed me by beating up my heart Ricardio! But this time is different. You see, I've been working out, and I must say I have a pretty sweet body."
"Yeah… whatever you say." Burt went to a blueprint table and began scribbling evil plans in a green crayola crayon. Ice King went to the opposite side of the room, and began making a list of requirements Marceline had to fit in order to be his bride. The first thing on the list; she cannot kill him in his sleep.
Back with our main heroes Finn, Jake and the Vampire Queen
"You've been quiet for awhile Marceline," Finn said. "Is something wrong?"
"Finn, she's no longer going to be a vampire queen unless we get that mushroom. I'm sure she's quiet because she's thinking about how much her life is going to suck when she's human."
"Being human isn't that bad."
"Easy for you to say man, you've been a human all your life. You've never experienced the awesomeness of a shape shifting dog, or an um… blood sucking vampire," Jake pointed out.
"You weenies need to stop talking," Marceline growled. "And I'm quiet because I have nothing to say. Vampires don't ramble on like humans and dogs."
"We'll ramble if we want to woman," Finn huffed, sticking his tongue out. "You're not the boss of us."
"Oh I'm not? Hmm let's see if Jake here agrees with me!" Marceline exclaimed. She then grabbed Jake and put a single fang on his head!
"AUGH!" Jake screamed, scared out of his wits.
"Let him go!" Finn cried, leaping on Marceline.
Normally, Marceline would bat Finn around, laugh, and say she was just having fun. But this time, she was really going to drink from Jake. The affects of the lemonade were weighing in on her. Fight it Marceline. You don't want to drink Jake. Releasing a hiss, Marceline threw Jake down! Then, she fell to the ground with a loud thump!
Finn ran to Jake, "You cool man?"
"Yeah," Jake replied.
"Good." Finn then ran over to Marceline and once again propped her up in his arms. "I think you lied to us. Your case is more serious isn't it? You're not just going to become human, you're going to die if you don't get that mushroom, won't you?"
Marceline kept her eyes closed but answered weakly, "Yes Finn. You're smarter than you look. I did lie to you and Jake. If I don't get that mushroom by midnight, I'll die."
"You had a lot of lemonade, didn't you?" Jake surmised.
"Yes. Almost a gallon full. It was mixed in too well with my blood I didn't notice it. I'm sorry I lied, I didn't want to worry you two, I know how you weenies act under pressure."
"Yeah, now we're pressured for TIME. It's already 5:00 and it's going to get dark soon! Not only that we're only halfway up the mountain, with an angry mountain sage trying to kill us! And another thing, I'm not a weenie!"
Marceline laughed, "Ha ha you're so cute. And yes, you are a weenie. But a cute weenie."
"Am I a cute weenie?" Jake asked, a hopeful smile appearing on his face.
"No," Marceline snapped. She stood up. "It's getting to be nighttime, and I'm stronger in the dark. I should be fine."
"That's what you said last time you crashed to the ground," Finn huffed. "But whatever you say."
"Well I say it's time you three feel the wrath of Burt the Mountain Sage!" a voice screamed. Suddenly a red light shot out from the skies, barely missing Finn if he hadn't dodged to the left! Then Burt descended from the skies, his staff allowing him to fly. "I shall kill you three!"
"Oh really? Because it's Mountain Sage fighting time!" Finn retorted, taking his sword out from his backpack. "You up to some action Marceline?"
"I was about to ask you weenies the same thing," Marceline replied, a devious grin across her face, her sharp fang sticking out.
Finn leaped on Jake and propelled himself off him, flying towards Burt and swiping his sword at him. Burt dodged this swipe, and sent out attack rays towards Jake. Before he could send out anymore, Marceline came up from behind and punched his head, sending Burt to the ground!
Jake punched Burt, but got hit with a ray from his staff! "Jake! You okay man?" Finn asked, landing next to him.
"I'm fine," Jake assured.
"Not for long!" Burt cried, taking his staff and hitting Finn and Jake with the end of it. The two fell over, nearly rolling off the mountain!
Marceline punched Burt again, but he jabbed his staff right into her stomach, making her fall over as well. There's only one way I can get to Burt. With a twisted grin, Marceline said, "Well, well, well it looks like you're still the same little whiny nerd you've always been."
Burt growled. "Name calling won't hurt me any longer Marceline! I took therapy, and I can now take your teasing! It doesn't affect me!"
She raised a brow. "Does it? Because I'm not teasing you, I'm telling you the truth. You're just a sad little man that likes to go to weird sci fi conventions, and whose never had a girlfriend. It must be hard, to know that you'll be lonely the rest of your life, the only woman to love you is your mother."
"That's not true!" Burt yelled, getting riled up.
"It is true," Marceline laughed. "But it's okay. Look on the bright side, at least with you around I'll always have someone to make fun of."
In an act of anger, Burt threw his staff at Marceline, then leaped on her and began punching her! "Take that back!" he screamed.
"Looks like someone is going back to therapy," Marceline giggled, despite Burt's enraged punches hitting her.
"That's it! I don't care if my brother wants to marry you, I'm going to kill you! Any last words?"
"A few actually. One, you're so lame. Two… NOW FINN!"
Finn took a net and trapped Burt, getting him off Marceline. "Ha! We tricked you man," he grinned.
"How dare you! Set me free!" Burt cried, struggling to get out of the net. His efforts were in vain, because he was powerless without his staff.
"Nice job distracting him Marceline," Jake complimented.
"Yeah, you weenies did pretty good too," she smiled.
"We did. We all did good. You know, that's the power of team work. We totally PWNed a mountain sage, and we did it together. So now all we have to do is get that shroom and we can party," Finn said happily.
"Yeah man," Jake agreed. "You'll especially have something to party about Marceline." Jake waited for an answer, but received silence. "Marceline?" he repeated. Finn and Jake turned around, to see Marceline frozen in a huge ice cube!
"Oh no! This can only mean one thing! The Ice-,"
"The Ice King is here!" a voice proclaimed proudly. Finn and Jake turned around to see the Ice King standing there, a smile across his face. "Now if you two would please let my brother go, and step out of my way so I can get my bride, I won't kill you."
"Brother? Bride? Wait! You want to marry Marceline?" Jake asked, pointing to Ice King.
"Right you are. That's why I slipped lemonade into Marceline's blood, so she'll turn human and be my bride."
"You idiot! Marceline will die because of you!" Finn screamed.
Ice King shrugged. "Well then it's a good thing I have back up brides then, isn't it?"
"That's it! I'm going to fight you Ice King!" Finn shrieked in anger! He pounced forward towards Ice King, but got frozen as well!
"Nice try boy!" Ice King laughed.
Finn and Marceline are frozen, so it's up to you Jake. You must fight Ice King by yourself. "Don't worry dude I'll put you two to safety!" Jake exclaimed, enlarging his hands and grabbing the frozen Marceline and Finn. But before he could set the two down safely, the Ice King shot out another attack, making Jake drop them!
And Marceline and Finn plummeted down the mountain…
(To be continued. So I hope my fight scene wasn't too bad, I tried my best :D Thank you all for reading and I'm working on my next chapter.)
