Chapter 4- Four Radar Intruders

WARNING FINN WILL FLIP OUT WHICH IS UNLIKE HIM IN SOME WAYS LEAVE NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE. My subconscious voice: "Shut up Alexa you're not getting married and start writing the chapter!" Me: "Alright, dude! Chill man!" Commence the typing::::

"Maybe there will be actual humans at Mount Cragdor, and they can move in with us, and we can adventure together, and-"

"Finn, I think we have enough people at our house, and don't get your hopes to high." Jake said to Finn.

"I actually agree with the dog, this might be a trap." Marceline said as she floated over to join the conversation.

Marshall Lee followed her. "Yeah, I mean, if the Land of Ooo is really just a dimension where every thing's the same of where I come from, then I know every place like the back of my hand. And there are certainly no humans on the back of my hand."

Jake chimed in, "On Mount Cragdor there are traps. So there is a possibility that it is true-"

"It's not a trap!" Finn shouted. "There are humans on that mountain, but if you guys don't want me to be just a little happy in this horrible time, then fine! Be that way. I thought you guys would help the sun break through the clouds, but you're just covering it up with more fog. I THOUGHT you guys were supposed to try to cheer me up, but you just put me down! Well I thought wrong. And now all our friends are prisoner to a guy with a dang lemon for a head! Don't tell me otherwise, because I know it's my fault." He turned away and whispered, "I'm sorry, princess...". It was obviously the left over anger from the kingdom invasion.

Jake was frustrated at Finn. He hated for Finn to think everything wrong was because he didn't do anything about it. Jake narrowed his eyes, then charged at Finn, knocking him down, and pinning his arms to the grass below.

"Listen to me!" Jake yelled angerly. "This is NOT YOUR FAULT! Get it in your head, Finn! You didn't capture the candy people. You didn't tell Lemongrab to do this. You didn't destroy the Candy Kingdom. YOU DIDN'T WIPE THE WHOLE HUMAN POPULATION OFF THE PLANET! You need to understand!"

Finn looked up at Jake with an expression of pure regret. He closed his eyes, letting his body go limp. He scrunched up his face, quietly saying, "She's gone. I can't save her this time."

Jake had stood up, but grew all tiny and sat upon Finn's nose. "You have friends, homie. Friends who care, and want to help you find those humans and save your princess."

Finn opened his eyes. "Really? For me?"

The other three shook their heads with a reassuring smile. Jake hopped off of Finn's face and grew back to normal size. He helped his buddy up. "Let's go to that mountain, no matter how many traps are in our way!"

So they walked. Through the now unguarded gates, and down the path toward Ooo's one and only Mount Cragdor.

"Alright, people. The message is out." Connor reported as he turned around to face Alex and Alexa.

"Uh, guys?" Alexa with an unusual tone of voice. "We've got visitors... four of them."

Connor walked over and Alex turned his chair to look at the radar screen. As said, four green dots blinked just inside of the outer-most ring, and they were moving closer.

"They must have just got inside the gate, but the traps will surely get them before they get us. But if they some how do get to us, we are armed and loaded!" Alex took out his weapon and pretended to shoot things while he made noises that sounded like a heat ray or laser from outer space used by aliens.

Connor warned, "Hey, watch it! Don't waste ammo, and make sure it's on Mode-1 this time." Alex lowered his gun, mumbled "But I wasn't shooting for real.", and made a weird face: his lips were out and his eyebrows looked heavier. It was a disapproving look, but it was meant to be funny. The face worked, both the other two laughed a little bit; he joined in.

"Alright, back to work." Connor said more seriously. "Hambo, keep an eye on the intruders. Alex, try to figure out who they are, and if they are human by checking if the mountain has some kind of camera system and hacking into it. I'm gonna see what else is in this room."

Connor turned over to look at the opposite side of the secret room. It was dark, but he could make out faint outlines of what looked like some sharp blades or spikes. He dug in his pocket for a while, then found what he was looking for. Connor took a match out and struck it against the packet it was in a few times before the magic of the red flower was in his hands. He shone it over the outlines, which turned out to be a wicked variety of defense tools and weapons.

There were swords, daggers, axes, knives, flails, shields, bows, arrows, and a sort of guns and rifles. One caught Connor's eye in particular. It was a Winchester Rifle that wasn't in bad condition. He picked it up. Ammo lay next to it on the ground.

"This is frickin sweet... that's a keeper." He muttered to himself as he brought it over to his little 'area' with the radio equipment.

"They're almost on top of us, mans." Alexa said from the seat in front of the radar screen.

Connor and Alex's heads shot up. "What?" They asked in unison.

"Take a look for yourselves." She told them as Connor ran over and Alex slid his chair over. The four dots were past the last ring, which represented the last obstacle, and were in the middle of it and the center dot which represented the mountain.

"Have you found any camera systems yet?" Connor asked Alex.

Alex slid back over in front of the computer and said, "Actually, I have. Now let's see here..." he tapped a couple of number and letter keys. On the screen showed a boy, two vampires, and a dog walking.

"What the- are those vampires?" Alexa said in disbelief. "And a walking dog? And who's that?" She was referring to the boy.

"Well he looks like a human, but has bear ears." Alex said.

"That IS a human, doofus! He's just wearing a hat!" Connor explained.

"That's a pretty awesome hat." Hambo commented.

OMIGLOB THIS IS A LINE TO SEPARATE THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AND END OF CHAPTER -

Hey my people! Wassap, mans? Well as you know Alex, Connor, and Hambo figured out who the intruders were. I got some info for you as a spoiler for chapter 5: the humans and our AT group meet up, Finn and Connor relate to each other (how PB is trapped and Elizabeth's death) and a deal is struck! I bet you can guess what it is... not much spoilers though. Go ahead, curse me. Oh, but not in the comments! It's mean :(.

Anyway I think the story is coming together nicely. Review, please! Next chapter up soon! Sorry for any grammar mistakes I always write at night and it's not the best time to revise because I get tired. I just finished writing this chapter and it actually just turned 11 on the dot.
