Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.

The group stared in amazement as the origin story viewing was finish.

"That explains so much." Said Finn.

"Man that was an awesome movie!" Shouted Jake.

"Now we know what's really driving Simon crazy!" Said Marceline.

"We gots to find Iceen and take him down for good." Said Finn.

"Follow us we know a secret entrance to his lair." Said Icily.

"Lead the way ice spirt people!" Said Jake.

"This way." Said Iceten as he walked down a tunnel with everyone else following him.

In the ice fortress Iceen still couldn't quite sense the group. He scratched his chin in
thought.

"Perhaps it's time I put a little more heart in dealing with these heroes." He said.

He could not take over Simon's body just yet, but he did have influence on another part of his body. Using his mind he searched the land of Ooo.

He finally got a signal from the body part he was looking for. The signal was coming the Black Ice Cave. Deep within the Black Ice Cave lived Ricardio the Heart Guy. He had once been Ice King's heart. Iceen had used a hypnotic suggestion to make the Ice King do a experiment to try and control Princess Bubblegum's heart. The experiment caused Ice King's heart to come to life and leave his body. Ricardio planed to take out Princess Bubblegum's heart and marry it.

Iceen's plan was for Ice King to die and the he would take over the Ice king's dead body. Unfortunately Finn and Jake managed to help Ice King get his heart back. Ricardio managed to spring forth again and make himself a super body. He managed to capture Finn, Jake, and Ice King. Princesses Bubblegum managed to defeat him in combat and rescue everyone. She then created a new heart for Ice King and saved his life.

Iceen found Ricardio sitting in a room with a new and improved reconstructed body. This body looked more metallic. It was bright red. Ricardio was working on a plan to destroy Finn and Jake and make Bubblegum fall in love with him.

"Hello there my twisted little heart." Said Iceen's disembodied voice.

Ricardio jumped around and got into a fighting stance. He looked around the room looking for whoever spoke.

"Who dares intrude on my private quarters?! Show yourself!" He demanded.

A ghostly image of Iceen's head appeared before Ricardio.

"I'am Lord Iccen and I'm your creator." Said Iceen.

"What do you mean?" Asked Ricardio in confusion.

"I was the one who gave the Ice King the idea to do that experiment to take over Princess Bubblegum's heart. The very same experiment that gave you life!" Said Iceen.

Ricardio gasped then went into a deep thought as he processed this information. What Iceen said did make sense to him. He faced Iceen.

"Just who exactly are you and what do you want with me?" He asked.

"I am the being who drove Simon insane. I was in the crown and tried to posses his body, but he fought me off causing him to go insane. I'm almost in complete control of his body, but some foolish people have come into his subconscious and are now trying to stop me! Two of them are Finn and Jake. We both share a common enemy. I'm giving you an opportunity to destroy them once and for all!" Said Iceen.

"Oh you have my complete attention and services." Said Ricardio with glee. "How do I get into the Ice King's subconscious." He asked.

"Go to the Candy Kingdom. Find your way to their medical center and find the Ice King. Once you do take your place back into his chest. Then you will be able to journey to his subconscious. After you destroy them I will take the Ice King's body and conquer the universe! And you my faithful servant can have all the princess you want!" Said Iceen.

"Oh you had me at destroying Finn and Jake! Oh Princess Bubblegum you are mine! I will have the full package and I will make out with you!" Shouted Ricardio.

"Go forth my servant!" Commanded Iceen as he disappeared.

Ricardio made his way to the Candy Kingdom. He was disguised as a cupcake. He made his way into the medical wing of the castle. A Banana Guard stopped him at the entrance.

"Hey I've never seen you around here before. Who are you?" Said the guard.

"I'm Strawberry Cupcake." Replied Ricardio.

"Alright you can keep moving." Said the guard.

"Thank you." Said Ricardio as he walked right in.

He went to the help desk.

"Can I help you?" Asked the desk worker.

"Yes. Can you tell me where the Ice King is being kept." Said Ricardio.

"Oh he's on floor 5 room 13." Said the desk worker.

"Thank you." Said Ricardio as he walked upstairs.

He made his way to floor five. When he got there he saw a few guards outside room 13.

"That's going to be a little problem." Thought Ricardio.

He was confident that he could easily defeat the guards, but he didn't want to attract to much attention to himself. His eyes landed on wall map of the building. He saw a section marked Mental Hospital section on the floor above.

"Oh this is going to be good." Said Ricardio as he made his way up the stairs.

The Metal section was a recent addition to the hospital. It was treating some of the Candy Kingdom's craziest citizens. One of the patients was a giant male chocolate chip cookie named Princess Cookie also know as Baby Snaps. He and his gang of chocolate chips had taken a bunch of Candy People hostage and demanded Princess Bubblegum's crown in return so that Baby Snaps can fulfill his life long dream of being a princess. Another was a large gingerbread man who had been the former Royal Tart Toter. He had once been sane, but the stress of his job had taken it's tole on him both physical and mentally. Right now Baby Snaps and the Tart Toter were playing chess.

They had been in the hospital for a few months and had managed to a degree to regain some sanity. Neither of them noticed Ricardio was watching them from a viewing window. Ricardio made his way to the help desk.

"Can I help you?" Asked the clerk.

"Yes. I need you to take a nap." Said Ricardio as his punched the clerk.

The clerk fell to the ground unconscious. Ricardio made his way to a closet that read "Belongs". He open it and went inside. He found a box that read "Danger Trigger Items Keep Out of Patients Hands!" Ricardio opened it up.

Inside he found a flower crown, a baseball bat, a chicken, and a squirrel. He took the items with him. He ripped off the door of the patients facilities. All the patients looked at him in shock. He threw the items at the feet of Baby Snaps and Tart Totter.

"Be free Princess Cookie! You need to form your own kingdom and topple Princess Bubblegum! Tart Totter! You need to quickly deliver those tarts!" Shouted Ricardio.

The two patients starred in confusion at the items. Then a weird look came over their faces and they grabbed the items. Baby Snaps put on the flower crown, grabbed his baseball bat and deployed his chocolate chip minions.

"Chipolina, Chipler, Chipton, Chipper, and Chipface! Today is the day we create our own kingdom and show Princess Bubblegum I'm a way better princess then her!" He shouted.

The Tart Totter picked up the chicken and the squirrel and started dancing about.

"This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace." He said.

The patients led by Princess Cookie and Tart Totter ran out of the room and through out the hospital. A few minutes latter alarms went off. Ricardio went down to floor five and watched as the guards followed by Bubblegum leave room 13.

He went inside the room where he found the unconscious Ice King. He walked over to him and stuck his hand into the unconscious man's chest and took out the heart Bubble gum gave the man. Ricardio threw the heart into a nearby trash can. He pushed a button on his arm and his limbs started shrinking. Soon they were tiny. He then jumped onto Ice King's chest and went into the hole. He then merged with the Ice King's body. Soon his consciousness was transported into the Ice King's subconscious.

In the subconscious the group had made it to the inside of the fortress. They made their way up some stairs and into a large room. So far they had encountered very little resistance. Something was defiantly up. They cautiously made their way into the large room. Suddenly they heard someone clapping from the shadows.

"Who's there?!" Demanded Finn.

"Always quick to the point Finn. I must congratulate for trying to save Simon, but alas this is where you meet your end." Said Ricardio as he stepped out of the shadows.

"Ricardio!" Shouted Finn.

"Whose that?" Asked Marceline.

"Oh he used to be the Ice King's heart. He got brought to life in some crazy experiment. Now he wants to kill use and marry Bubblegum." Explained Jake.

"Why are you here?!" Demanded Finn.

"Oh my new comrade asked me to get rid of you. Once that's done he'll take over Ooo and I can make out with Princess Bubblegum!" Shouted Ricardio.

"Never!" Shouted Finn as he leapt into the air and threw a punch at the villain.

Ricardio caught the fist, grabbed Finn, twirled him around and threw him at a wall. Jake and Marceline charged forward. Ricardio jumped into the air and slammed his fist into the ground creating a shockwave that sent Jake and Marceline flying into a wall. Iceten and Icily shot a combined frost blast at Ricardio freezing him in a block of ice. Ricardio just grinned and flexed his muscles shattering the ice and sending Iceten and Icily flying into a wall.

"My. My. Is that all you got?" Asked Ricardio mockingly.

The team looked at one another.

"Time for some team work." Said Finn.

"What ever weak minded strategy your planing it won't work. Said Ricardio as he charged forward.

Icily and Iceten leapt forward. Icily threw a snowball into the villain's face blinding him. Iceten froze the ground in front of the blinded villain making it slippery. Ricardio stepped on it and started losing his balance. Finn came in with a flying kick and knocked him down. Ricardio fell to the ground. He wiped the snow off his face and started getting up. Jake got behind him with giant hands and grabbed him. Jack threw him into the air. Marceline flew into the air and transformed into a bat and punched Ricardio sending him flying into a wall. Ricardio staggered to his feet his body sparking.

"I'm not defeated yet! I will have Princess Bubblegum!" He shouted as he charged forward.

Iceten and Icily froze the bottom part of his legs stopping him. Jake and Marceline rushed forward and grabbed his arms. Finn charged forward with his sword and cut the veins connecting Ricardio's arms and legs. Ricardio fell to the ground as a heart with a bunch of tentacle like veins sticking out.

"I can't believe I lost!" Shouted Ricardio with disbelief.

Finn pointed his sword at him.

"It's over Ricardio." He said.

"Oh that was quite an entertaining fight! Good show!" Said Iceen's voice.

Everyone looked around confused.

"It's time for the next round! But first lets pep up Ricardio a little bit." Said Iceen.

A bolt of lightning hit Ricardio and he started growing! He soon became giant and the little veins became giant tentacles.

"I'm going to crush you!" He shouted.

"Not on my watch!" Shouted Marceline as she transformed into her giant tentacle monster form.

The two tentacle creatures charged forward and grappled with one another. The rest of he heroes jumped in to help. Iceten and Icily froze a bunch of Ricardio's tentacles. Marceline grabbed the frozen tentacles and shattered them. Jake made his fist giant and punched Ricardio in the face. Ricardio screamed in pain. Finn leapt off of one of Marceline's tentacles and brought his sword down slicing Ricardio in half!

"Aaaaaaaauuuuu! Curse you all! You have slain me! Farewell world!" Ricardio shouted as his halves fell to the ground and turned to red smoke.

Out in the real world the magic that brought Ricardio to life vanished and Ricardio returned to being a regular heart.

Inside the subconscious he heroes smiled at one another and high five each other.
"We did!" Shouted Finn.

"Very impressive, but your to late! Simon only has about an hour left and I'm fixing to take control of his body to escape that hospital his in. Just watch this." Said Iceen.

A portal appeared showing the heroes the outside world. The Ice King had regained consciousness. Iceen took over and broke from his restraints. Bubblegum who just walked into the room muttering about escaped mental patients screamed at the sight of the awakened Ice King. In a nearby mirror's reflection Ice King started to change shape. He became taller and skinner, his face became crueler, his eyes turned red, his hair and beard became neatly trimmed. The Ice King had transformed into Iceen! Iceen let out an evil laugh, smashed through the window, and started flying towards the Ice Kingdom.
All the heroes starred in horror.

"It's to late! Soon the universe will taste my vengeance!" Laughed Iceen.

To be continue.
