AUTHOR'S NOTE – Welcome back after another cliffhanger :D. I don't mean to do that but I actually love leaving cliffhangers because honestly it's what gives you that AW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN FEEL and I love that in FanFiction! Anyways, back to yet another exciting chapter of Second Encounter: The Fight Part 2!
Marceline's already damaged skin pierced through the forest hitting branches, sharp thistles, and then a large tree, making her scream in pain throughout the whole landing. With her back up against a large tree, she sunk down and landed on the ground hard, falling over to the left side. Her head, body, and arms leaked blood from multiple areas as she tried to lift up but felt a pop in her neck. "Shit this isn't good." She said listening as she tried to stand up. As she was attempting to stand up a large explosion erupted from the trees in from across the forest making various birds fly off into the night sky. Suddenly a loud scream of anger erupted from the forest making her clench her fists together to try to stand again. "Shit this REALLY isn't good!" She shouted and grasped the tree with her hand now standing herself up. Thumping sounds came from the forest ahead and crunching of bark and branches echoed through the area. With an entrance the sound of train rushing through the forest, Finn appeared out of the brush of trees with a thick orange and yellow light growing and spreading. Fire began to spread through the trees and finally with all his might, Finn split two trees in halves, getting them out of his way. "How DARE YOU!" Finn shouted and jumped to the middle of the field, slowly catching fire to the grass plains in the area.
Marceline tried to raise her fists but was took weak from the burning damage and the fact she was sure that she had shards of bark lodged in her in multiple places. She winced as she stepped forward only to hear the howling of laughter from Finn. "Marceline! The excommunicated queen of the Nightosphere, the o-so feared vampire of Ooo, stumbles to try to STAND!" Finn shouted walking at a fast pace toward the vampire. "Please d-don't." Marceline claimed. Finn reached her in no time and closed her eyes at the constant light beaming onto her skin. "How do you expect to beat me?" He asked laughing in her face. She smirked and drew claws from her fingernails, allowing her teeth to pop. Without a word, Marceline lunged at Finn and bit at his neck still feeling the sting from the fire on her vampiric skin. She winced and began to quickly suck out a massive amount of blood from Finn's neck. "Damnit!" He shouted in pain and punched in the stomach. Her bite was hard to let go and so a piece of flame stained flesh ripped off of Finn's neck. He screamed in pain and Marceline landed near the same tree she had landed on before. Only this time she swallowed the blood she consumed from Finn's neck and could feel her wounds healing. Her skin went back to being pale and no burn marks or scratches. She winced and felt little shards of bark fall out of her back and abdomen and her neck cracked to her delight.
Finn held his neck and shook to the side before looking at her again. He laughed hysterically and tensed his body up and began to turn a dark crimson red. Before Marceline knew it, a dark black liquid shot out of Finn's neck causing it to burst into flames on the grass. She squinted as the small fires that surrounded Finn began to spread. "Did you really think that would work? AGAIN!" Finn shouted and stepped forward cornering her. "No, but now I could do this!" Marceline shouted delivering a quick right straight punch to Finn's cheek. Instead of the reaction she was hoping for, Finn simply was thrown off of balance for what seemed like only a second and rose back up to position. He spit out what looked like a spittoon would contain and smiled a devious smile. "Game on." Finn lunged forward, tackling Marceline through the tree that she landed on, only to continually run with her in his hand bashing her against brushes and more trees. "Stop it!" Marceline shouted hitting Finn consecutively in the forehead as hard as she could to try to make him stumble. Still Finn continued on grasping her by the throat and bashing her into more of the forest environment. Finally, the chaos ended and Marceline shouted at the pain in her neck delivering a high knee to his back of the head. Finn yelped in pain and dropped the vampire, falling to the ground. Marceline noticed that they landed on sand and looked to her left to see a body of water that led to a waterfall. She looked back at Finn as he rose up and glaring at her with those devilish eyes. "You're dead!" He shouted sprinting forward and raising his fist. She ducked and avoided the attack, rolling quickly out of the way and stood back up. With her powers, she quickly dashed to his back side and delivered a hard hit to his left shoulder blade. He winced and without warning came back from her attack with a crisp backhand. Marceline spiraled in the air and landed near the body of water, which swayed its waves over to her right hand. She looked at her hand and then back at Finn. "I'll give you something, you sure do know how to fight against the odds of being a vampire. But the truth is, I can, and whenever I want to kill you." Finn said smiling putting his hands together to form a ball of fire. "I now possess the power of a fire elemental and you being the vampire whore you are, my power could kill you in a three seconds or less." Finn explained charging up his fireball towards Marceline.
Marceline let her hand cup a good amount of water and waited for the right moment. "You sure do talk a lot now Finn." She said laughing, letting him get angry. Finn's eyes glared at her and bared his teeth. "At least you'll die laughing and amused." He laughed and sent the fireball shooting towards Marceline. She quickly got to her feet in a squatting position and rolled out of the way to hear the fireball hit behind her, still cupping the water in both hands now. She shouted and threw the little amount of water onto Finn not thinking it would do much. To her surprise, the little amount of water made Finn scream in pain and hold his face in pain. With that in mind she ran over to the water and hovered over to the open shallow part. She yelled and took her hand down into the water and with all her might ran her power through the water and back up to create her own small tidal wave. The wave hit Finn right on target causing a large sizzling sound and the screams from Finn. She lifted off the water and flew over to Finn, landing to his side. "Not so tough now are you?" Marceline said squatting down to his level. As she talked, Finn's skin began to boil a very dark crimson red and his eyes reopened to a pure scarlet red with a shout. Finn gripped her throat from his downed position making Marceline shout at the still hurtful grip from his fiery skin. "I.. I still c-can KILL Y-." Finn tried to say but was cut off by a fist to the nose. He gripped his teeth and threw Marceline away from him, plotting a fist into the watery sand. A small sizzle sound erupted from his knuckles and he growled at the pain. "Glob Finn, how is this possible?" Marceline asked as Finn stood.
His entire figure was coated with what looked to Marceline was death. He reeked of rotten flesh and what looked like his body had been engulfed a fire and left to die. His skin cracked and looked like it was crumbling from the over compensating of water to cool him. His teeth gritted together and he was finally able to control his movement to a more normal state. 'Shit, he's getting his power back!' Marceline thought. As quickly as she could, she flew forward and punched Finn as hard as she could in the same place to the face. What was left behind was the echo sound of shockwave that rustled the sand beyond them and the trees over yonder. Finn flew over to a distant rock and tried to stand back up but clenched from being stuck in the massive rock. Marceline shouted and flew over to him, extending both fists out and made contact with his chest. The two of them went flying through the rock as Marceline landed on the sand's surface but Finn landed farther and into the water.
She looked up and noticed that smoke was beginning to formulate from the water and she bared her teeth and rose up with the intent to kill. Smoke began to rise from the water at a constant and sizzling rate, making Marceline frown. Before she knew it, the water began to rise from to the surface, making her fly forward with an unconscious movement. Her fist was raised and her teeth were out to kill whatever was about to come out of the water. As she got close to the figure coming out of the water, her eyes flared with a flash of panic, making her stop dead in her tracks, right in front of him. "Finn!" She shouted grasping his shoulders, pulling him in for a hug. He shouted in pain and she pulled back, noticing all the degrees of burns all over his bare chest. "Oh glob Finn, we need to get you out of here!" She shouted. Finn barely could even lift his head up to look at Marceline and shook his head slowly. She frowned and lightly lifted him out of the water, making his head shake rapidly. "You can't!" He was finally able to shout as the water drained away from his body.
As Marceline's hands gripped underneath his armpits, a slow sizzling sound began to sound from her hands making her wince in a slight pain. Finn suddenly let out a loud shout as fire erupted from his skin, making Marceline scream in agony. "Stupid vampire!" He shouted backhanding her down to the sandy ground. She landed with what sounded like an eruption from the ground beneath her and breathed in trying to gain whatever strength she had to restore her burnt skin. Before she knew it, feet landed on her stomach making her spit out blood from her sharp teeth. "N-no." She said as Finn knelt down grabbing her on the neck. She screamed as the fire spread throughout his arm, burning her skin in the light. Finn slammed her up against a rock and with his free hand began to mercilessly wail his fist into her cheek, eyes, and stomach making her take the punishment with no stopping. "STOP!" She shouted as each punch landed directly to her sensitive skin. "I'll stop when YOU'RE DEAD!" He shouted delivering more punches to her head. 'STOP! You can't kill her!' The inside Finn shouted. Fire Finn bared his teeth and held her neck tight with her right hand and glared at her. 'I'll kill her if I so do please weakling.' Fire Finn thought. There was a moment of silence as Fire Finn lifted his fist to the air and thrusted his fist towards the vampire making her clench and close her eyes, knowing this would be the last.
However there was no contact made with his fist and her face as everything seemed to stop. Marceline slowly opened her eyes and noticed Fire Finn was struggling to even keep his fist in the air. 'THIS ENDS NOW!' Inside Finn shouted. From outside the two minds converged silently, however inside the mind of Fire Finn, a mental battle enraged as Finn tore through the amount of fire that spread around him. Finally, a hand tore through his chest making Fire Finn yell out in pain. Inside the hole created through Fire Finn's chest shouted a scream that was not in pain but rather a war cry from within. Marceline noticed that a figure began to poke his arms out of the hole and a figure emerged, covered in ash and burns. Fire Finn stepped back in pain and reformed his hole in his chest looking now at his enemy before him. "Time to show you how a real man fights." Finn said glaring at Fire Finn's dead fire flamed eyes.
AUTHOR'S NOTE – That was an epic chapter to write no doubt! The reason why I cut off right there btw, is because I have something planned that I think you all will love :D. Oh and I'd like to take a moment to explain that Princess Bubblegum are in a complicated relationship and Marceline and Finn are also in a complicated relationship – All of this will tie into the last fanfic of the series :D. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, please like, follow, or review if you enjoyed and I'll see you all in the next chapter :D.
