"So, that's it." Marshall finished the same story Marceline told him over the phone.
Fionna looked ahead at nothing, her mind wandering elsewhere. "I…I can't believe it…" she whispered, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Yeah. Me too. I can't believe that moron went so far just to prove a point to my sister!" Marshall yelled, punching the wall in exasperation. "Now so many people have been killed and the Candy Kingdom is in ruins! Glob knows what else he's gonna do."
"Dang it, Finn…" Fionna said to herself quietly, clenching her fists.
They heard grumbling and rustling, and turned to see Ashley rousing from her sleep on the couch.
"Ugh…what happened?" Ashley said, sitting up and rubbing her head in pain, before cringing as she felt a sharp pain in her side.
"Hey, hey, easy." Marshall cooed, floating to her side. "We treated your injuries while you were unconscious. You did some kick ass stuff back there against my mom."
Ashley smiled at him. "Thanks. You weren't too bad yourself."
They stared at each other, smiling, remembering all the fond memories they had together.
"Ahem," Fionna cleared her throat noisily, breaking the silence and returning Marshall and Ashley back to reality and realizing what they were doing.
"Oh, crap."
"Heh, I'm sorry."
"No, don't apologize. I'm sorry."
"No, I really am sorry,"
"It's not your fault, it was nothing, I-"
"GUYS!" Fionna yelled at them, irritated by her boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend's close contact and semi-romantic conversation. "Can we just talk about what we're gonna do here?"
"Do about what?" Ashley questioned, planting her feet on the floor.
Marshall told her what he knew.
"Wow. That's heavy." Ashley said, taking in the information.
"Yeah," Marshall agreed. "Now we just need to figure out how to stop him."
"I've heard about Kaos before," Ashley said. "But I can't quite remember what…"
There was a knock on the door. "Hey, Marshall! It's us! Open up!" shouted a familiar voice from behind the door.
"Hey, sis." Marshall opened the door, revealing Marceline, Hunson, and Simon, who all greeted him as they entered the house.
Marshall adopted a puzzled expression when he caught sight of Hoby.
"Um, what's the kid doing here? And if he's here then where's Braco?"
Marceline sighed, "Long story short, there was a debate, Braco went AWOL and won the Worst Father Ever award." Marceline paused. "Well, 2nd place to the Lord of Evil, actually."
"Hey!" Hunson exclaimed, creating an eruption of laughter from everyone else, except Hoby, who didn't quite understand it, except for the fact that Marceline insulted his father.
"So, now what are we gonna do?" asked Marshall as the laughing died down. "Mom's still looking for us, Fionna, Ashley and I are practically fugitives here, and Finn's in Ooo killing everyone."
"Ah, well, you see. That's where Simon and I come in." Hunson said, wrapping his arm around Simon's shoulder grinning.
Everyone else exchanged confused expressions at each other, and turned back to the two magical fathers, ready for an explanation.
-So I know that a lot of you guys are pissed and thinking that this is just ridiculous with all the immense time gaps of uploading, but honestly I've tried. The filter on my PC is top notch, and there's no way you can get rid of it (at least not that I know of), only bypass it, and luckily I was able to. I'm sorry for the short chapter after all the time of no updates, but I'll be posting another one after this.
