Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is a story just for fun.
Ansem was a large man with a sliver grey beard. At the moment he was in his house in the mountains working in his blacksmith forge creating a new sword. He picked up his new creation and inspected. Pleased with his work he set it down and wiped his brow. He started thinking about his past.
Back in the old days he was just a blacksmith, who loved to tinker with things using science and magic and create inventions. One day when one of his inventions failed disastrously he almost gave up inventing and tinkering entirely. Then a being from the cosmos appeared before him! It was the Cosmic Owl!
"Hey don't give up inventing and tinkering. Life's is full of challenges. You'll face both success and failure. You just have to keep pressing on." Said the Cosmic Owl before disappearing in a flash of light.
Ansem stood there speechless, but he took the Cosmic Owl's words to heart. He went back to his his tinkering and inventing with new found determination. He became greatly skilled in both science and magic. He was considered the most knowledgable man in both magic and science throughout the lands.
Ansem stopped thinking about the past as he heard the sound of hoof beats coming outside. He exited his forge to see who it was. He saw two men getting off a horse. The men approached him.
"Hello sir my name is James Braveheart. I've come here to study magic and science, so I can become a better hero." Said James.
"I'm Henry Abadeer. I've come here to study magic and science to help me figure out what I should do with my life." Said Henry.
"Nice to meet you both. It's good to see two young men seeking knowledge." Said Ansem.
He looked at Henry and studied him for a few seconds.
"Your a demon." He said.
James and Henry gasped.
"How did you know?" Asked Henry.
"I've met and tangled with a few demons in my time. However you are different. You have the appearance of a human and you don't have an evil presence. So I'll train you." Said Ansem.
"Thank you sir." Said Henry.
"Lets get started." Said Ansem.
For the next few months Ansem taught James and Henry several things. He first taught them how to forge weapons. James created a silver sword. Henry created a great big red battle ax. Ansem then taught them their first spell. It was a spell used to make a persons weapon and armor last for thousands of years and never wear down.
Ansem then taught his two students science and magic. Henry excelled at magic. Apparently his demon body had a ton of energy that allowed him to weld great amounts of magic. Henry became excited and started studying and practicing magic on his own. A feeling of pride went through him. At last he was great at something. He used his magic on his body to enhance himself. He gave himself super strength, flight, and the power to shape shift.
Ansem grew concerned about Henry.
"Be careful with magic Henry. It has a way of corrupting people and bring out the worst in them." He warned.
"Yes master." Said Henry.
But Henry ignored Ansem's warnings and continued practicing magic. His skill and power grew by the day. He started growing a goatee. His mind became darker with each passing day. Desires and ideas formed in his head.
"I'm so powerful! With this power no one can ever threaten me or tell me what to do ever again! I will conquer everyone!" He thought to himself.
He decided to test his skills against James and Ansem. He grabbed his ax and found them practicing creating metal shields.
"You two kneel before me! I'm the master now!" Shouted Henry.
The two of them looked at Henry.
"Are you joking?" Asked Henry.
"I'm afraid his not. The magic he has learned and cast upon himself as corrupted him." Said Ansem.
"Silence you two and kneel!" Commanded Henry.
"I'm afraid not. Just drop you ax Henry and quit talking like a mad men." Said James.
"I'm not mad! I'm completely sane. Don't you know how godlike my powers are? Your the ones who are mad!" Shouted Henry as he fired a lightning bolt at James.
James deflected the lightning bolt with his magic shield and charged forward dodging more blast of lighting. Ansem deflected one bolt of lighting right back at Henry! The lighting bolt slammed into him and knocked him to the ground. James ran towards Henry, who tried to hit him with his axe! James dodged the blow, knocked the axe out of Henry's hand, and pointed his sword at Henry's throat!
"Surrender!" Ordered James.
Henry eyes bulged a little bit as he shot some lightning at James forcing him to jump away. Henry quickly leaped to his feet grabbed his ax and took flight into the sky.
"This isn't over. You will bow to me one of these days! I will put the universe under my rule! Just you wait! I will be back!" Shouted Henry as he flew away.
"Will be waiting to stop you! You will pay for your heinous acts of trying to destroy us!" Shouted James.
"Don't worry James will stop him. He'll rear his head up somewhere and when he does will be ready for him." Said Ansem.
Miles away Henry decided to take a rest. He took a moment to think about the fight he had with James and Ansem. He couldn't believe he almost lost and got killed. Death was a huge problem for Henry. If he were to die his plans for conquest would die with him. He had to some how remove death from the equation.
He also decided to rename himself. He thought back to what James had shouted at him about his heinous crime.
"Hm. Heinous Abadeer does have a nice ring to it. From this day forward I'll shall be known as Heinous Abadeer!" Said the newly named Heinous.
He went to work trying to figure out a plan for conquering the universe.
To be continued.
