Chapter 7: A Lost Soul
A.N. Sorry I took so long, I had a busy weekend and I didn't have time to write this story but I thank you for your patience
Disclaimer: I do not own the band Rammstein and the Jecht theme song from Final Fantasy X
Frey and Sol were in the kitchen eating cereal planning on what they do in their next adventure. A figure came in, floating above the twins, at first they were scared till they realized who it is.
It was a female who has
light gray skin and long, midnight black hair that reaches to her feet. She wears blue jeans, red boots, and a gray tank top.
It was their godmother, Marceline the Vampire Queen.
"Good morning Marceline" Frey said.
The vampire took off her hat and smiled patting Frey's head, "Hello how yall doing?"
"Good" the twins said eating their breakfast when Finn walk in. "Hey Marceline what brings you here in broad daylight?" he said getting himself a bowl of cereal.
"Well I was gonna record a song but my old recorder, I been using gotten messed up so I need a few parts to repair it. So I came here to ask if I can borrow yours" Marceline said sucking the red off of
"Sure, theres one in the attic" Finn said. "Daddy can we come with Marceline?" Sol asked.
Finn nodded letting the twins follow Marceline to the attic.
Marceline walk in the attic and the place was crowded with boxes and treasure chests but Marceline move them away with no problem.
Marceline looked around and move a few more boxes finding the old recorder.
"Mind helping me out?" she said as the twins were standing behind her.
"Yes maam" Frey and Sol helped carry a few parts of the recorder that Marceline removed and they traveled to her cave where her house is at.
Marceline floated inside her house and a little white poodle name Schwabl walk to the twins, they awed petting it while Marceline was taking the parts to her room.
While they were playing with Schwabl, Jake Jr. ran in the house and wave his arms like crazy. "Whats sup Jake" Frey said.
"Dude you know who live in this place?"
"Yeah Marceline the Vampire Queen lives here whats the problem?"
"Whats the problem? guys a vampire is a undead person who sucks blood from the living like us" Jake Jr said feeling scared staying in the house.
Marceline laughed picking up the dog. "Please don't suck my blood!" Jake Jr. yelled squirming around trying to get out of her grasp.
"Calm down weenie I only suck the color of red like this apple for example" she picked up a apple and sucked the red out of it.
Marceline gave the apple to Sol who ate the grey apple and it tasted sweeter, "See little Jake theres nothing to be afraid of me unless you mess with my stuff"
Jake Jr. smiled a little when Marceline let go of him, "Now you are welcome to stay here while im fixing my recorder and remember don't touch my stuff including you Jake Jr." she said floating up to her room.
Frey jumped on the couch and quickly groan in pain when he found out it is solid as a rock, "Marceline this couch feels hard how could you sit on this?" he complained.
"Oh I don't sit on it I just float on it" Marceline said in the other room.
Jake Jr. decided to look around the house, he open the fridge seeing nothing but food that has the color red. He then went to a closet seeing a small box on the floor.
He was so full of curiousity that he open the box that reveals a small light green amulet with symbols on it.
Jake Jr. took the amulet and a light whisper came to his mind and he was screaming as his soul was drained by the amulet. The dog fell on the floor and the twins ran to him.
Jake Jr's eyes turned white, and his body was pale. "Wake up cousin" Frey yelled slapping his face but it didn't work.
Marceline saw what happen and picked up the dog, "That idiot... he shouldn't be messing with my stuff!" She yelled staring at Jake Jr.
"What happened to him Marcy?" Sol asked getting worried, Marceline look at the amulet that the dog had in his hand. "I should've known his soul is now in the land of the dead" she said throwing the amulet back in the box and slammed it shut.
"Can we go to the underworld and get his soul back?" Frey said.
"No you guys stay here and I'll be back" Marceline said picking up Jake Jr. and her axe-bass, she then chanted a spell and a portal opened, she look back at Frey and Sol before she walk through the portal.
The portal then closed leaving Frey and Sol in her house, "We gotta follow Marceline" Sol said walking to a wall.
"How? we don't even know how to get to the land of the dead"
"Come here I know a way how we get there" Frey walk beside Sol and looked at her. "First you stare at a corner where two walls meet. *They stared at the corner* Then you cross your eyes and a portal open taking you to the underworld, uncle Jake told me the story" Sol said.
They both hold hands crossing their eyes and a portal opened, the twins walked through it and see a wide wasteland filled with old cars, ruined buildings, few debris, and the undead.
"Lets go brother"
It felt like forever wandering in the land of the dead but they saw a giant skeletal one-eye being guarding the gate and a line full of skeletons were waiting.
"How did you died?" the giant guard said looking down.
"Ran over by a train" a skeleton said walking with his hands and his bottom legs were standing behind him. the guard let him through while Frey and Sol were walking past the line heading to the gate till the Giant skeleton said something to them. "Woah there you gotta be dead to enter through mortals" it said.
Sol whisper to Frey's ear and he nodded, "Hey look a few skeletons are climbing through the wall!" Sol yelled pointing. The guard looked while they were running through the gate and the guard yelled. "Come on guys get back here"
The skeleton guard look through the gate and sighed. "Oh man"
Frey and Sol highfive each other when they saw Death's castle. In their point of view, Death's Castle is different from the rest of the Land of the Dead in that it is made purely of light.
The inside of the castle has a zen garden. In the sand there were skulls of various animals. Some of the skulls are huge while others are big. One such huge skull has a bunch of smaller skulls in it showing at the eye and a dead tree protuding from the other eye. Death has etched circles in the sand around all of the skulls.
"Oh come on Death you gotta give back his soul" Marceline said standing behind Death who was digging.
"Like I said Marceline you'll have to do a music battle in order reclaim this mortal's soul" Death said as he was putting a few skulls on the ground.
Marceline was surprised when she saw the twins running toward her, "What the... Frey Sol what are you doing here?"
"We want to help get Jake Jr's soul back" Sol said as Death look down at them.
Death was a tall person who wears light tannish clothes with a hat on his hat and has a horse-shape head with a pouch on his belt. "Ah if isn't Frey and Sol, son and daughter of Finn and Sunna what brings you here in my world?"
"Our cousin, Jake Jr. lost his soul and we want to get it back Death" Frey responded.
He laughed, "Kids I don't give people souls back for free. Like I told Marceline, you must beat me in a music battle in order to win their soul back but a few people ever beated me but I doubt that you will" Death said smiling.
Death vanished in thin air and he appeared again on the stage with a guitar in his hand. "Are you ready Marceline?"
"Not yet, someone was supposed to be here already" Marceline said tuning her bass.
Sol heard footsteps behind her, she turned and saw Queen Bubblegum running to the stage panting, "Bonnie what took you so long?"
She look at her in anger still panting, "Have you ever *panting* gotten lost, running through a freakin wasteland and had to escape from the undead that wanted to eat your flesh Marceline?"
"Nope I just fly here... anyway you ready?"
She nodded climbing on the stage while the vampire whispered to her.
Death snap his bony fingers and a table with three skeletons as judges appeared in front of the stage and his servant also appeared playing the drums.
Marceline snap her fingers too, causing two demons to appear behind her, one had drums and the other had a guitar in his hand.
Death grabbed the microphone as his servant was tapping the drumstick three times.
Jecht Theme song (Otherworld) from my favorite game Final Fantasy X
Go now, if you want it
An otherworld awaits you
Don't you give up on it
You bite the hand that feeds you
All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight
Hold now, aim is steady
An otherworld awaits you
One thousand years, you ready?
The otherworld, it takes you
Fire surrounded Death as he growls and his fingers play the guitar with haste and smoke was coming off from the strings.
Go into the sand, and the dust, and the sky
Go now, there's no better plan, than to do or to die
Free me, pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me, fill me with sin, and get ready to fight
You know you will
You know you will
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it, that you will
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it, that you will
You know you will...
Death let go of the guitar and held the microphone.
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, FIGHT!
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, FIGHT!
Death picked up his guitar and went back playing it again
Hope dies, and you wander
The otherworld, it makes you
Dreams, they rip asunder
The otherworld, it hates you
Free now, ride up on it
Up to the heights, it takes you
Go now, if you want it
An otherworld awaits you
Death stopped and everyone watch what judges are deciding.
Judge 1: 9
Judge 2: 9.5
Judge 3: 9
He smiled staring at Marceline and the rest. "Lets see if you can beat that" Death said putting his guitar away.
Marceline and Queen Bubblegum nodded at each other, Marceline had her axe-bass ready as Bonnibel had her hands on the microphone.
Soon mist began to surround around them as Frey and Sol were sitting next with the judges with Jake Jr. in their arms.
Sonne from a german band called Rammstein
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, aus
Marceline and the demon began to string their guitars loudly as Bonnibel was fixing to say the next words.

Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Händen

legt sich schmerzend auf die Brust
das Gleichgewicht wird zum Verlust
lässt dich hart zu Boden gehen
und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn
Marceline and Queen Bubblegum (Bonnibel) are both singing in this part

Frey and Sol were clapping and the judges were whispering to each other.
The first judge lifted a sign: 9.5
The second judge lifted a sign: 9
They all stare at the third judge to see its descision, Marceline and Bonnibel cross their fingers and Death did too.
Then the third judge lifted a sign saying: 10
Frey, Sol, Marceline, and Bonnibel were cheering while Death threw his guitar at the third judge in anger. "Okay you won you can have his soul back" Death said. he remove his hat showing a yellow ball floating on his head, he throw the yellow ball at Jake Jr.
The ball disappeared and Jake Jr. gasped getting up shaking his head. "Where am I?"
"Jake!" Frey and Sol jump on him hugging him tightly. "Uh guys... I can't breathe" Jake Jr. said.
Death place his hand on Jake Jr's laughing. "You lucky that you have friends that will risk their lives to get your soul back" he said as he place his other hand on Frey's shoulder.
His mind soon went flashing, Death look around seeing that he is in a large field and the grass was burned. 'What is this?' he thought.
Death turned around seeing a undead army being lead by a undead king and a young warrior who has blonde hair and light-orange skin. "Frey?"
Death blinked and he see that hes back in his castle with his hand still on Frey's shoulder. "Uh you guys should go now I have a busy schedule" he said teleporting them back to their world.
'That vision I had... is it real or just my imagination?' Death thought going back with his garden. 'But I hid him and no one will ever find him' Death thought.
At the treehouse, Finn and Jake were planning on taking a trip while Marceline was sneaking behind Jake with the kids trying shut their mouths from laughing.
Jake turned around and Marceline made a horrifying face and gave a hiss causing him to scream like a girl and run away. Jake picked up Jake Jr. and yelled. "Please don't suck my blood, suck my son's blood first!"
"Dad!" Jake Jr. yelled back, Jake threw his son at Marceline and ran out of the treehouse running over Beemo.
"Your father will never change" Marceline said as she was petting Jake Jr., "Hey we should something like this on his birthday and-" Jake Jr. whisper to her ear and she nodded liking the idea. "Oh that will be hilarious" she said laughing.
