Chapter 10: Twisted Plot
Bubblegum had to find out where Xensor was murdered. It was until then a group of people whispered about something.
"Did you hear about the warehouse explosion?! It was so crazy!" One voice said.
"How did that happen, I mean it couldn't be a gas leak, it was abandoned a couple years ago."
"There was people fighting there, maybe they had something to do with it."
"Someone said that it was Finn and a girl fought this guy, and it was the same girl who he's been dating."
"Where was the warehouse?"
"It was at the docks northeast of here."
Now she knew where his corpse is. She would walk there or use the Marrow, but she used the swan instead. Soaring through the sky, she found the warehouse reduced to rubble. She then found Xensor's body trapped in the rubble. His lifeless body laid at rest there. Bubblegum used the swan to blast the rubble that crushed his body. The swan had then used its beak to carry his body and set it to the side.
The pink princess had then dismounted her swan and walked up to his corpse. She even spoke to the body as she walked.
"You're the reason why Finn had found out about my plan, even in death you still betray me. Giving out evidence to Finn and that little whore he's been hanging out with, failing to even do a simple task. You disappoint me, even your little bitch is worried about you, but don't worry, you will follow orders, and you'll behave like a good boy."
Bubblegum implanted the chip in the back of his neck and it glowed pink, indicating that it was active. After that, she poured her serum on him. It was insane, she brought the same man who betrayed her back to life.
At first he groaned and tried to stand up. When he did, he saw his surroundings and saw Bubblegum right in front of him.
It was then he punched her in the face... or tried to for that matter. His body wasn't working like it should be. But the only thing that was free for him, was his freedom of speech.
"You! Why are you here! How am I even alive!" Xensor screamed. He tried to move his body, he tried to strike the princess, but something wasn't letting him.
"You should be grateful to me. I just brought you back. Maybe a 'thank you' would be in order." She said deviously. Her smile was still evil.
"How bout I break your neck you little pink BITCH!" He yelled once more. He still couldn't move right. He tried to strike her again but all he could muster was a flinch.
Bubblegum still had her devious smile plastered on her face. A noise filled the air as the princess slapped him right on the cheek. She had then slowly walked around him in a circle.
"You were suppose to finish the job. You were suppose to hide the evidence, but you did quite the opposite. I brought you back, but this time you're under my control. Your body is mine but not your mouth, that's a bug I can't even fix right now. Here's how things are going to work out. You will do exactly what I say and finish my assignment I gave you."
"GIVE ME A REASON WHY I SHOULD LISTEN TO YOU! YOU CALL YOURSELF A PRINCESS BUT YOU'RE JUST A PINK SLUT!" He yelled. His face only showed anger, malice, hostility and burning rage.
She laughed at his comment. And she spoke. "It would be a shame if that little bitch you love got into trouble. I wonder if she's a screamer and if she begs for that matter."
"YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON HUNNY, I SWEAR TO GLOB I'LL KILL YOU!" He was being pushed. He just wanted to beat the princess also known as his employer to death. Hearing those things from her made him snap.
"It won't happen, if you be a good little boy and do your job. Hopefully you'll get it right this time and hopefully nothing happens to her." She walked up to her swan and mounted it.
"If I get out of this, I'll rip you apart you skank, mark my words. You'll pay. His venomous voice dripped with hatred. He said this under his breath.
"Dear Xensor, I look forward to what will happen." Her swan had then flew the princess to her castle. Going inside one of her hidden doors she finds her armory. She rummaged through several weapons and found something. It was a nuke. She had another idea, and this was truly something evil.
Xensor had tried to move his body out of his free will but it still didn't help him in his case. The princess threatened his beloved if he didn't finish his assignment that he so desperately wanted to escape from. He had to do something that'll get him out of this, but how could he? The only thing that's under his control was his talking. He ran to the grasslands, but he was stopped halfway when he saw the people he was trying to save on his left.
"Finn! Watch out! Xensor yelled as he threw ninja stars at the hero. Finn had then ducked. One of the stars had grazed his arm.
"Ow!" Finn said. It didn't hurt that much, but it did sting.
"Xensor, is that you? We thought you were dead." Fionna said. Both looked in amazement as they saw the assassin breathing once more.
"It's me. I need you to listen to me it's very important."
"Why did you try to attack us just now?" She asked calmly. She didn't know it but something else was afoot.
"Bubblegum implanted a chip in the back of my neck, it controls my body, but not my mouth. She brought me back with some sort of serum and wants me to finish the job."
"Is there anything we can do for you right now?" Finn asked clutching his bleeding arm.
"At the candy kingdom, there's a person in particular. Her name is Hunny! Bubblegum threatened to hurt her if I didn't finish you off! Please, we have to rescue her, she's all I have left!"
Fionna spoke to him. "Ok we'll rescue her and we'll..."
"FINN LOOK OUT!" His body had then ran directly at the hero. Xensor jumped up and kicked him in the chest. Finn blocked it, but he still fell to the ground.
"Fionna get out of the way!" Xensor screamed. He threw some small explosive at the heroine. She leaped out of the way when it was about to explode. Finn had then punched Xensor in the face, when he tried it the second time, his fist was caught and Xensor punched him in the gut. He lifted him up and slammed him on the ground. He stomped on his chest, causing Finn to cough up blood. Fionna had then ran at Xensor from behind, tried to kick him right in the back. He sensed this, grabbed her ankle and threw her away. Fionna then performed ukemi. She ran at him again but Xensor had jumped over her and landed behind her, grabbed her wrist, kneed her in the back and threw her next to Finn.
"I'm sorry, I... I can't control myself." Xensor said. The feeling of guilt courses through his mind. He can't even stop.
Finn had helped Fionna stand up and stayed at their spot panting. Xensor's body had stopped moving.
"We need to get this chip out, but how?!" Finn asked. He was concerned about this. How can he get the chip out without a couple of seconds of being attacked.
"What if we outsmart the chip? I mean its primary directive is to kidnap you and kill Fionna, what if you pretended to give up?"
"The capture part seems easy enough but I can't let you kill Fionna." Finn said. He wanted to find another way to solve this.
"What if we both surrender?! I mean Bubblegum wants me killed right? So what if you took me to her and she could try to kill me herself?!" Fionna suggested.
"That actually might work! We can do that! But what about the chip, I mean we have to destroy it!"
"When you bring us in, you'll let your guard down, that's when we can destroy it."
"Doesn't even sound like a bad idea, lets hope we can pull this off and... I'M MOVING AGAIN! WATCH OUT!" Xensor was interrupted by his body.
Xensor sweep kicked Finn and tried to use him as a weapon to attack Fionna. Luckily, she jumped over them and performed an uppercut on Xensor. He didn't even flinch at the impact. He jumped and threw Finn at Fionna, she caught him and they both fell to the ground.
Xensor had stood right in front of them, waiting for them to stand and strike. He desperately wanted to stop but the chip isn't even complying with his wishes.
"Ok, I think my body is starting to stop fighting you, let's start the plan, and save Hunny." Xensor grabbed the two heroes and departed for the Candy Kingdom.
The kingdom wasn't far ahead, at first the plan seemed like a good idea, but when they were getting closer Xensor started to have his doubts.
"Are you two ready?" He whispered. His heart was racing, not because of the plan. It was the safety of the woman he loved. No doubt that Bubblegum would hurt her, and kill everyone except Finn.
"We're ready, are you sure this'll work?" Fionna asked. Reassurance was the only thing the three could think about. What would happen if this plan failed? Bubblegum would win, Finn would be forced into marriage, Fionna would be dead, Xensor would be her slave and he would've failed to protect Hunny.
Arriving at the entrance of the kingdom, all they saw was no one around, and homes were barricaded. Somehow the princess had gotten her people to do all of this. This isn't really a warm reception.
At the castle two guards stood in front of the castle entrance. They didn't make a sound, a comment, just nothing. They stood there like statues. Inside the castle they arrive at the courtyard, the princess was standing right in the middle of it. With a woman who was blindfolded and tied to a chair. No doubt it was Hunny. Seeing this infuriated the three, mostly Xensor.
"Welcome everyone, so glad you could make it." Bubblegum said in a sick sweetly tone. It was only a matter of time just wait.
"Well Xensor, you did good with your job. You brought my Finn to me, but you brought her here. No matter, I can have the pleasure killing her myself. Now Finn, we have a lot of planning to do if we wanna have the perfect wedding." She continued. The three only looked in pure disgust and anger as she spoke her words.
"Let her go!" Xensor yelled. He wanted to do this now, but with a little more time, he can be free.
"Xensor, do you remember how you betrayed me? How you exposed my plans for everything! I'm doing this for me and my Finny! Don't take this personally, but I think you should feel how I felt." She took out a dagger and slowly walked up to Hunny. It was time he had to do this before it was too late.
"NOW!" Xensor screamed. It was the signal Fionna punched the chip in the back of his neck, causing it to break. He then ran after the princess. Princess Bubblegum, seeing this phenomenon had then ran away.
"GUARDS! KILL THE INTRUDERS! BRING FINN TO ME ALIVE!" She screamed as she ran off. Fortunately for her, she escaped. Banana guards surrounded the courtyard. There was no choice but to fight their way out. The fight to the death has now begun. The anger in the room will finally be unleashed.
