Jake and BMO had arrived straight to the Ice Kingdom. BMO was glad to be unaffected by the cold at least but she just looked down at the icy ground, seeing just piles of piles of snow under her. She was excited to know what it felt like to be cold, though she was having more thoughts about Jake's arguments from during his violent outburst yesterday from when she first admitted her love for Finn. She just reached up and moved her choker up her neck, sighing in worry as she hit one of the many buttons on her neck that read "delete". She then just put on a fake smile while continuing to ride on his back. She had just deleted her feelings program in hopes to prove to herself her love would be unchanged in the end. Otherwise his words would just constantly harass her, having been etched into her memory.
"I think I see it up ahead!" Jake said to her. "Oh. That's good," she said, somewhat flatly. Jake was presuming it was because she was not fully charged when they left the Treefort. As they approached the cave, Jake shrunk down in size and let her down gently. "Are you ready for this, BMO?" he asked. BMO nodded hesitantly, fearful of meeting this person who could give life to anything he touched. The two entered inside the cave. There, they could see candles that were lit to brighten up the surrounding darkness. There were multiple paintings lining the walls as well. "This is, uh… freaky," Jake had to comment. She agreed, but the paintings appeared to be a good quality, though they looked like they were staring at them while they wandered through.
They found themselves a small staircase that led downward in a spiral fashion. "Hey, Magi dude! You down here?" Jake called out, his voice echoing and bouncing off the cave walls. A sound of slight humming bounced to Jake in return. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw more paintings around paint cans and brushes. It was like an artist's studio to them. At last, they saw a person in a purple robe with a flower on his head and a long beard that went in two directions. "Magi! Hey, man!" Jake greeted him, catching his attention. He was the Ancient Sleeping Magi of Life Giving indeed. He had a weird pair of leather gloves on and a paintbrush in each hand. "Jake? Oh wow! I never thought I'd see you again," Magi responded, putting the paintbrush down in front of a half-finished canvas. BMO, he didn't recognize though
"Same here, dude! What's up with all the paintings?" Jake couldn't help but ask about the oddities here. "Oh? These? Well they're my friends. You see, I was looking for a new place to live and during my search I met a little girl. She was lost so I agreed to help her find her way home. But after a while of searching, we had to take a break to regain our energy, so she wanted me to paint with her and it was so much fun. Her father found us though so as thanks he gave me his smithing gloves. I was afraid of being alone, but now, I have all of these friends!" he explained in good detail what had happened to him since the last time they had met. "Hello!" all of the paintings called out simultaneously, startling Jake, but BMO was unfazed. His artwork did look alive, and the Magi appeared to be happier than ever because of it.
"But enough about me. Why are you here?" he asked, Jake pushing BMO in front of him before he decided to elaborate on what he was here for. "This is BMO. You see… she, uh… recently has been going through some things. We wanted to know if you'd make her a living being," the magical dog popped the big question for them both. His old friend seemed confused, however. "…but she is living," he responded. BMO shook her head. "I am a robot. I want to be more than that," she simply stated. "Really? I really thought you were alive. I'd like to help, but well… I don't know how you'd become. Let's face it, bringing clothes, rocks and paper to life is easy, but I've never tried to bring a machine to life. The closest thing I have brought to life that was a machine, was armour," he gently claimed wishing to be calm about this, not wanting to upset her in any way, more like wanting to let her know about the consequences that might occur because of this drastic change.
BMO held out her hand, giving him a serious look to reinforce that she was willing to take the risk. "Please. I will live with whatever problem comes of this. I've experienced more feelings in this month than I have in my whole life. And I want more. I can't ignore it," she said. He just looked down upon her, giving a faint smile. "Heh… you remind me of her. …alright," the Magi said she reminded him of the girl he had met a long time ago to get him into painting. Just reminiscing like this alone made him happy. He slipped off one of his gloves calmly, revealing long fingers underneath, though his fingernails looked well treated at least in comparison to before. The Magi of Life Giving took BMO's hand into his, and instantly, a blue aura began to glow around her hand before beginning to go around her entire body. A scream of agony began to echo throughout the cave.
Meanwhile, at the Candy Kingdom, Finn had arrived, panting before the front gate that had multiple frozen banana guards at the drawbridge, seeing them like this for probably the hundredth time in a row, since each Ice King attack froze them alive. It made him make a mental note to request Bubblegum do something to improve their combat prowess. Finn just began to run through the Candy Kingdom, only to see more and more frozen candy people. He presumed the rest had just locked themselves away within their homes. He wondered why, until he felt the ground shake, hearing a stomping sound ahead. Finn saw a huge sized Ice Golem that was stomping around, freezing anyone in its way. He knew the Ice King had been working on something for the past month, but he was unaware that this was it.
The enormous Ice Golem threw a fist down into the street and began pushing it along toward him. Finn just gulped, jumping out of the way and rolling aside, barely dodging. The street rubble kicked up as result. The human boy just panted, trying to think on what to do. He had fought a lot of giant monsters before, but never anything like this. Finn just made a dash to his left toward one of the candy houses. He then noticed the Ice Golem slam its fist into the ground and begin to move it toward him in a clear mediocre game. To it, this was like trying to crush an ant. Finn pulled himself onto the roof, watching it slam its fist into the home. He jumped onto its icy arm while more debris began to shoot up into the air.
Finn just growled while halfway up its arm. He pulled his sword off his back and swung downward, stabbing it into it. After a few more brutal swings, its arm began to crack. Finn used his sword to begin climbing up to his shoulder, watching as the Ice Golem tried to punch him off, but sadly it missed and resulted in breaking its other arm off entirely. Finn ran along its slippery shoulder and threw his sword, letting it dig into the side of the golem's thick neck. The Ice Golem roared, and before it could make another attempt to hit him, he charged at it and kicked it with all his strength, watching it dig deeper into its frozen neck. The neck began cracking up, and the golem immediately began cracking itself. It shattered into small icicle shards, and the rest of the Ice Golem rained onto the ground, motionless, throwing the human boy off.
Finn was panting while lying on the ground, beaten and bruised from the hard fall. "I hope that was the only one…" he moaned while looking over to his sword that was embedded in a block of ice. He just pulled it free from the ice chunk and continued toward the Candy Castle, presuming that the Ice King was going to be just right in there.
