A.N. Well, I got wrapped up in reading so many fanfics. Now that I'm finished, I'm writing this.
I don't own Adventure Time or Irkens. As far as I know, I came up with the armor described later.
After a short break, the group continued on their way to the Candy Kingdom. Everyone in the group now crowded around Calvin to keep him from running off. After a few minutes of silence, Jake spoke up.
"Just for the record; I had nothing to do with that last fiasco, in case anyone asks." Jake said, glaring at Calvin. Calvin put on an innocent face and grinned.
"What exactly made that come up?" Finn asked while keeping a close eye on Calvin. Jake looked at Finn, then to Hobbes and let his eyes settle on Calvin before he answered.
"You know how protective Max is of his friends, and Calvin is only six! Imagine what he would do if anything happened to the kid!" Jake exclaimed, throwing his hands into the air. Finn paled a little before he said anything.
"Oh man! He'd beat us to a pulp!" Finn exclaimed, horrified. They all stepped closer to Calvin, then Hobbes just picked him up.
"Forget it, I'll just carry him." Hobbes said, quickening his pace. They all sped up until they were jogging toward the Candy Kingdom. As the group entered the Kingdom, they slowed down to a slow walk, slightly winded from the jog. Suddenly, a candy citizen walked by, and Calvin jumped at him. Hobbes was barely able to keep him in his arms as Finn and Jake turned to Calvin and quickly explained the Candy Kingdom to Calvin.
"Whoa Calvin! You can't eat the candy people! They don't like that." Finn said, assisting Hobbes in holding back Calvin. Calvin quit struggling, settling with crossing his arms and pouting. Jake stretched out and they piled on, quickly arriving at the embassy. The words, Earth Empire Embassy were written on the front of the building, which looked more like a military building than anything else. They walked past security, the human guards waving them in as soon as they saw Finn.
"Are those robots?" Calvin asked, pointing at the guards. It was true, unless you knew what was under the black and red armor, they looked remarkably like robots. There was no skin showing anywhere on their body, with their heads being covered with a helmet resembling a motorcycle helmet. The helmet was smaller than a motorcycle helmet, and the face visor was tinted red. The visor acted like a one-way mirror; they could see out, and you couldn't see in. The rest of the body had thick armor plates and fire-proof fabric covering the body. The fabric was surprisingly breathable, and every soldier had a mechanical exoskeleton to carry all the weight.
Finn looked at the guard and said, "Nah, those guys are human. They're from another universe, but they're still human."
While Calvin attempted to absorb this fact, they entered the main lobby to see a green-skinned, red bug-eyed alien with antennae on it's head. He wore a red uniform and had black gloves on his three-fingered hand. He looked up at the new arrivals.
"Ah, hello Finn, Jake." He said, his zipper teeth showing. He glanced at the tiger, and then the kid.
"Hey Zak. This is-" Finn started to say, when he got cut off by Zak.
"Calvin and Hobbes. I've heard of them." He rose and walked around the desk, only to stop suddenly.
"Don't move. Stay in here and touch NOTHING." Zak commanded, darting to the door behind the desk. The group realized they could hear muffled sounds coming from behind it. Zak opened it and the sounds stopped.
"What? We're busy." Came a voice from the room.
"Calvin and Hobbes are here!" Shuffling instantly sounded from the room as Zak partially shut it.
"Excuse me for a moment." Zak said to the group as he shot into the room. The sound of a massive door opening came through as a scuffle broke out.
"Zak is an-" Finn started telling Calvin.
"Irken, I know. I've met some before." Calvin stated, nodding his head.
Some muffled voices sounded and then, "I don't care where you put him! Just get him out of earshot!" Some more muffled voices and then a thump.
"Just continue the interrogation in the blasted bunker!" Zak yelled, followed by the sound of a massive metal door shutting. Zak emerged from the room with an irritated look on his face. He turned to the group, seeing confused looks.
"Sorry about that. We were doing some... things... Calvin did not need to hear. In fact, we are under strict orders to keep Calvin from seeing or hearing much of what we do. Again, sorry for that." Zak stepped forward and looked at Calvin and Hobbes.
"Now, just what are you doing here, and how did you get here?" Zak asked, kneeling down.
"We built our own inter-dimensional portal to look for Max!" Calvin stated proudly, puffing his chest out.
"Impressive, but I'm afraid he's out at the moment." Zak said, standing up.
"I thought he might be, but I figured I'd bring them just in case." Finn said, stepping forward. Zak nodded and sat back down at the desk.
"I'll have a message sent to him telling him about Calvin and Hobbes making their own portal. He'll love to hear this." Zak said, looking at the group. Suddenly, the door burst open revealing none other that Ice King. Zak glared at him while Finn and Jake jumped in front of Calvin and Hobbes. Ice King immediately noticed Finn and Jake.
"Oh, hey guys. What are you doing here?" Ice King questioned, walking over to them.
"They're escorting to very important friends of Max. I suggest you keep your distance, unless you want Max to think you're going to harm them." Zak spoke up. Ice King instantly backed off raising his hands.
"I wasn't going to do anything!" He exclaimed. "The last time I did something he stole my crown for a week." Ice King scowled and grabbed his crown. "Anyway, I came to tell you something." Ice King said, turning to Zak.
"And what would that be?" Zak asked, obviously irritated. Ice King either didn't notice or ignored the irritation.
"I'll be going elsewhere for a week, so no weird business in the Ice Kingdom."
"Very well. Is that all?" Zak asked, glaring at the man.
"Yeah, I guess so." The Ice King flew off after that, leaving the five alone again. Zak sighed and looked to the group in front of him.
"Finn, Jake, I need you to get Calvin and Hobbes back home ASAP. He causes enough trouble at home." Zak said, waving his hand at Calvin. Finn and Jake nodded and said goodbye, the group waving at Zak as they left. The group heard Zak grumbling about how he wasn't paid enough to do so much paperwork. They walked for a couple of minutes until they noticed something, the lack of something. They turned around to find Calvin, once again, gone.
"Oh no, not again. CALVIN!" Hobbes yelled, looking around. They caught a glimpse of a foot running around the corner. They took off after him and when they rounded the corner, they found several other alleys he could have disappeared through.
"I'll go get the banana guards." Jake said with a sigh as he left for the nearest guard. Finn and Hobbes took off down the nearest alley to look for Calvin. A couple of alleys down, Calvin grinned. This was going to be fun.
Well, there you are. With Calvin, nothing is ever easy. Please review!
Auf Wiedersen! (German rules!)
