Marshall stood there, shocked and dumbfounded. Many eager eyes were locked on his being, and various whispers were being spread around the room. Marshall opened and closed his mouth several times, trying to say something, but failing to articulate any words. The silences lasted for what seemed like hours, but were in reality only a few seconds. Marshall started to panic, and the first thing he managed to blurt out was, "I need to see Fionna!" A rock man grabbed Marshall's sleeve and dragged him over into the door with the Red Cross on it. As they entered the makeshift clinic, the main room sprung back to life and everyone went back to working, talking, and planning.
Marshall Lee found himself in a small waiting room, with log benches lining the tiny space, and a cloth curtain hung over a doorway opposite to the door. The rock man closed the door behind the two, and turned to Marshall Lee, "Sorry about the sudden outburst. We've been searching for you two ever since Marshall we got wind that you were captured. I'm Riley, I organized this whole thing. Gumball has been wreaking havoc on all of those people's homes and villages. He released many creatures such as giants, why wolves, and other horrors, just to experiment with the fear of others. He used it all as a giant lab experiment, and he sent Fionna to be the cleanup crew, without her knowing. It's a sick scheme, and for 14 years he got away with it. But we won't let him get any farther. I ask on the behalf of all of us, for you to join the resistance. I'm not asking you to answer immediately, just… Think about it…" At that, the Riley left the room and shut the door.
Marshall ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. He sat down on one of the benches and waited. After about an hour, Doctor Prince walked out from behind the curtain, and nearly jumped at the sight of Marshall. "Oh wow I didn't see you there! She is awake and you can go in and see her. Just don't tire her out." Marshall stood up and grinned, "What, do you think I'm going to take her dancing?" Doctor Prince smile briefly before stepping out of the room, clipboard in hand. Marshall Lee walked behind the curtain, where Fionna lay in a small feather bed. As soon as he walked in, she looked up and smiled, "Hey! Why did they swoop me away so fast? I'm fine! Do you think they'll let me out of this bed? I want to be able to walk around. For serious. And who are they? Where are we?" Marshall laughed and sat on the end of the bed, "They're just trying to do what's best! And… They are called the resistance… It turns out Gumball has been like this for a very long time. He started doing it about a few years after you were old enough to start adventuring. I don't quite know where we are, but I know it's safe." Fionna frowned, "It's hard to believe… PG…" She groaned and laid back down in frustration. Marshall sighed before leaning down and kissing Fionna on the head, catching her by surprise, and causing her face to flush pink. "It's gonna be alright. We'll get through this." He said.
