With only twenty minutes left into their drive, Finn decided to roll down the windows, take off his bear hat and feel the wind run through his hair.

"Having fun Finn?" BMO asked as he giggled.

"Yup, just enjoying the drive and view" Finn responded as he looked at the lush environment that was the grasslands. "What about you?" Finn asked.

"Same, and I've never seen the south side of the grasslands nor the cities that Banana Man was talking about," BMO responded.

"Yeah, this going to be a crazy two weeks."

"Or more" BMO stated.

"Yeah...I wonder what Jake is doing?" Finn thought out loud


"Finn, BMO?!" Jake yelled as walked into the tree fort.

"I'm here," A squeaky voice said from another room.

"Argh, Ice King" Jake marched over to where he heard the voice and knocked on the door.

"I'll be out in a minute," Ice King said again mimicking Finn's voice.

"ICE KING," Jake said pounding on the door.

"Okay! Okay! Finn and BMO left yesterday while I went to fix the Ice Kingdom with Gunter! " Ice King yelled in normal.

"Where did they go?" Jake demanded.

"They left a note," Ice King said while slipping a piece of paper under the door.

Upon picking it up, Jake realized it was Finn's handwriting.

"Good job trying to leave me with the Ice King. The key word is "trying." Don't bother asking him where we went I told him I'll burn his Fionna and Cake fanfictions if he told you. Other than that, Good Luck."

-Love, Finn, and BMO

"Hmm, he got me good" Jake said as he read the note over again. He sighed and looked at the door back.

"Ice King come out, I brought some food," Jake said in a more calm voice.

"Ok" Ice King opened the door, and Jake's jaws dropped wide seeing Ice King was once again wearing Finn's entire outfit.

"So, what did you bring?" IK asked.


"Ehh, I pretty sure he's fine," BMO said waving it off.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Finn responded.

Soon enough, the two could see the pier come into view, along with a gray, medium sized ship facing off into the sea and a group rock and water elementals and suddenly the sound of a telephone was heard in the cabin. A few moments of trying to look for a phone and BMO reached towards to the center console and tapped on a screen that had a picture of Banana Man.

"Hey, Finn," BM chirped.

"Hi Banana Man," Finn responded.

"I called Governor Kai once you left and he said there is a ship that is willing to give you a ride. I also contacted the governors that you will be coming for a visit in the coming weeks. So, you know…. They don't shoot you. Anyways, the ship's name is Premier, and Captain Onyx Wright is in charge. The ship is able to carry the Jeep, so you don't worry about it being stolen while you're

gone. See it?" BM asked.

"Yeah, I see it" Finn responded.

"Alright, see you soon," BM said.

"You too," Finn said back as they both hung up.

"Wait a minute... so they don't shoot me?" Finn asked himself in a concerned tone.

"Is that him Capt'n?" A crew member asked as he pointed to the Jeep

"Aye, that's him alright," The old captain said as he looked the driver

"You know, people were really excited when the governor told them he was coming" Another crew member.

"Especially his daughter." The captain responded to have his crew chuckling.

So enough, Finn pulled up to where the captain and crew were standing and got out.

"Hello, I'm Finn, and this BMO" Finn said holding out his hand

"Nice to meet you, I am Captain Onyx Wright and this my crew" Captain Wright shaking Finn's hand and then BMO's

Once Finn and BMO finished shaking the each of the crew's hand turned back around to where Captain Wright was standing.

"So, what's Crosswinds Island like?" Finn asked happily.

"Ah, it's a beautiful place, beautiful beaches, and…. beautiful women. But, you'll have to see it

believe to it. " Captain Wright said while nudging Finn's shoulder.

"Sounds great!" Finn said with a little hint of red in his cheeks.

"Alright, come on board, " Captain Wright said walking away with his crew right behind

As the Jeep boarded onto the ship Captain Wright, Finn and BMO walked through the cramped hallways of the ship until they reached a narrow flight of stairs that led them to the bridge where they greeted by a few more crew members. A few greetings later Finn and BMO finally had a chance to see the open ocean and the mountain ranges of in the distance.

"Captain Wright, Why is it called Crosswinds Island?" Finn asked

"Well, despite its name, you'll never get more than just a strong breeze on the actual island but, getting there is a whole different story especially if you think about flying there. To the west is the Isle of Steam that is located behind the Fire Kingdom where the wind travels in only one direction east into Crosswinds Sea where any inexperienced sailor foolish enough to cross through it will never come out the other side" Captain Wright said in a dark tone

"So, how is Crosswinds Island able to survive the constant wind?" Finn asked

"The mountain ranges block out strong winds so, when it comes over to the other side, it's just a breeze." Captain Wright concluded

"Captain, we're ready to set sail," A crew member said

After this, the helmsman turned on the engine and humming sound was heard at the stern of the ship, and as the ship was leaving the pier, the captain pressed a button, followed by a sound of a horn coming from the outside. While Finn went out to get his rifle and sword, BMO started to climb onto the controls walking over to the window carefully as not step on any buttons. When he got up to the window he looked down on the deck and saw two machines gun on both the port and starboard side and what seems to be a large rectangular box with a pole sticking out.

"Excuse me," BMO said to a nearby officer, " What is that?" BMO asked pointing to the box

"That is a 57-millimeter main gun, it's normally meant to fight against the Mountain Kingdom Navy that sometimes sails through these waters" The officer stated

"I didn't know that the Mountain Kingdom even had a Navy," BMO said in disbelief

"Well now you do," The officer said, "The biggest and strongest in all of Ooo" The officer added

"But, only one main gun and four machines guns? Don't you think you're a little short when it comes to firepower?" BMO asked

"You didn't take into account the torpedoes we have onboard, we fire those, their captains will try and avoid it, and we'll use the Premier's speed to get us of harm's way."

All of a sudden a loud whistling sound was heard, and large gushes water was seen off the starboard bow.

"ACTION STATIONS!" The officer yelled, and soon enough sailors were running around outside taking their position while a siren was going off, and soon the machine guns were now, and the main gun was now facing where the shot was heard, and after he said this the Captain and Finn were on the bridge

"Who is it?" Captain Wright demanded.

"Its the Mountain Kingdom Captain!" The lookout officer yelled.

"Give me the binoculars!" The Captain yelled.

As the captain looked through binoculars he saw a two smoothed out rock ships that were quickly identified as heavy cruisers by the crew with the name Mulcula Hill and the other Scarlet Hill printed in clean white paint off in the distance and now both of them now had their two main turrets aimed at the small ship and fired a volley of rock projectiles.

All shots landed far too close for comfort causing the ship to rock side to side causing everyone inside the bridge to lose their balance. When everyone recovered Captain Wright knew the tiny gun would do nothing to something so heavily armored, and they were too far to fire the torpedoes accurately and so… he called it in.

"Limu!" Captain Wright yelled

"Right here, Captain!" The communications officer yelled

"Contact Rear Admiral McIntyre and Vice Admiral Serrano to get over here!" Captain Wright ordered

"Aye, aye Captain!" The communications officer yelled

"I want you to- " Captain Wright was cut off when something violently rocked the ship followed by a small explosion causing everyone to once again lose their balance.

When Finn recovered, he ran outside to see what could cause the explosion and saw a plume of black smoke from the stern suddenly, his heroic instincts kicked in and ran over to see if everyone is okay ignoring the strong wind. As he neared the plume of smoke, he saw able-bodied sailors picking injured sailors while others helped put out the fire. At that moment he felt… happy. Everyone was ready to help someone at that time, they didn't depend on him like the citizen back on Ooo but, of course, he to help in some way and decided to help put out the fire. While Finn was helping to put out the fire, a volley of projectiles was raining down on them and the strong winds beating down on his face. This kept going for nearly ten minutes until a loud boom was heard from the other side and quickly turning his head to see a heavy cruiser and much bigger ship firing at the Mountain Kingdom ships landing direct hits time and time again. Soon enough, the two enemy ships had taken enough damage and headed back for home. While the sailors were cheering the wind and water was beating everyone's faces by the second so, Finn went back to bridge where everyone was looking through a window cheering, curious as to see what they were looking at he excused himself all the way to the front where he was standing next to captain and looked off to the distance and saw two gray ships sailing in the same direction as they are on.

"Just in time," Captain Wright said happily

"Yeah" Finn simply stated, "What type of ship is that by the way?" Finn asked pointing to the big ship in the back

"That's a battleship it's normally used for naval artillery but, could really hold its own against another ship" Captain Wright stated

"That's cool." Finn said, " Hey why did they attack us in the first place?" Finn asked

"Did Banana Man tell you about why people move to the Grasslands and the cities, and how some kingdoms don't understand that they need to leave them alone?" Captain Wright asked

"Yeah?"

"Same problem here kid. Remember this, if someone wants to be left alone, LEAVE them alone especially if they're not doing something that might hurt others or something like today would happen if you don't."

Soon enough, the winds started to calm down as they sailed past a steep mountain range and off into the distance Finn could see more naval ships docked on a harbor while the two ships that saved them sailed off to a different dock while they kept going straight and slowed down to dock in, where a number of military ambulances were ready to help the injured.

When the last injured sailor was taken off the ship Finn, and BMO walked down to the docks where they were greeted by female water elemental around Finn's age.

The water elemental straightened her posture and said, "Hello Finn the Human and BMO, welcome to Crosswinds Island.

Q&A:

MarCor3 Q: Oh oh, the massive fire giants?!

Glob, I hope that this fic isn't another 'Finn fucks every female in Ooo', ugh - tired of coming upon those types of stories blah!

Please let this be a decent story of Finn and the others!

A: 1) No, the sleeping giant thing is a simile. 2) Don't worry it won't. 3) I really hope you think it's decent!

Distant Phoenix Q: What's the reason for the story being rated M? I don't see anything in the writing that shows it is. (Is it for future lemons or something for that sort?)

A: Maybe

Deathclaw 2010 Q: Are we going to keep using American politics in this story? It might get tiring.

Also, bringing real-world guns into Adventure Time makes me a little uncomfortable.

A: 1) There will be only references from now on. 2) I MIGHT change the guns later

Deathclaw 2010 Q: This feels a little condescending. It's like Ooo has suddenly become more bleak and that following the American way is the right way.

A: It wasn't really meant to praise the American way or put it in a pedestal, the people that saw the Constitution were simply inspired or copied its laws.
