AUTHOR'S NOTE – Hello everybody! Off topic from this fanfiction, I looked at my First Encounter book and it's incredible the amount of view I got from that. I just wanted to thank you to all the people who have favorited, who have reviewed, and who have messaged me for all the support you guys have been giving me for this series so far. To all the people who are relatively new to this series, I welcome you to a wonderful reading experience :D. Anyways, here's another chapter of Second Encounter! WITH A SPECIAL CHARACTER INVOLVED…

Both Finn's glared at one another, fists balled into a fighting stance, each ready for one to attack the other. Without doing this, they both stood there, in moonlit beach, glaring one another down with dark devious eyes and blue heroic eyes. "You should have stayed in the hell that protected you." Flame Finn said with a smirk. "You should have never hurt Marcy." Finn said teeth bared with a knuckle pop. Without warning, the two began charging at one another, fists extended out and shouting from both sides, and with a huge clash, Finn's fist slammed against Flame Finn's cheek knocking out what he heard to be his back right teeth, and Flame Finn delivered a straight hook to Finn's nose making it crack with one hit. The two both went back some distance, skidding across the sandy surface. Flame Finn chuckled and juggled the back teeth in his mouth and spit it out onto the sand. Finn cracked his neck and took his thumb and pointer figure and cracked his nose back into place making flinch.

Princess Bubblegum maneuvered quickly and quietly around the rock's edge of the cliff, making sure not to plummet down toward the chasm below. "Watch your step princess." Jake said grasping her to make sure she doesn't fall. The two got to a good vantage point and kneeled down, peering over to look at the kingdom below. "We need to go down there and raise hell!" Jake shouted getting angry as he saw the fire kingdom. "No! What are you crazy, you'll get burnt alive the very second a flame being sees you, let alone hears you shout over and across the hills." She explained calming the dog down. He sighed and kept on looking over at the kingdom. "Why not just develop heat shields for your army and storm the place?" Jake asked. The princess took out pieces of something that Finn didn't recognize from her bag. "Because something is off about the ritual." She explained, beginning to assemble the device. "Like what could have gone wrong?" Jake asked. Princess Bubblegum finished assembling the device, to Jake's surprise it being a telescope. "If the ritual would've complete, the sky would have turned red, but as you can tell, the sky is normal, so something had to go wrong…" Princess Bubblegum trailed off setting up the telescope to balance on the rock's edge. "You're not making a whole lot of sense." Jake said frowning at the princess. "Well Jake, if you want to read more about the ritual, take the book out and flip to the bookmarked page, by all means." Princess Bubblegum said with a rude tone. She closed her left eye and peered through the scope, trying to see what was going on. Meanwhile, Jake shuffled through her bag and found the book entitled Book of the Many Kingdoms.

The telescope defined the kingdom and showed many soldiers and flame people running through the streets and around the palace. She couldn't however see where the Great Circle was and flipped a switch on the telescope to amplify the area. Soon she looked up to the palace and noticed Flame Princess out on the balcony looking down at the people, her head hung low. Princess Bubblegum smiled and unamplified the telescope.

Jake flipped through the pages of the book as Bubblegum looked down at the people and frowned. He has been living in the land of Ooo for what seemed like centuries, and yet he had never known some of the historical sides and revelations of the previous world before it. He smiled and flipped the pages faster and faster in curiosity. Finally he got to a page he was very intruged with, his smile diminishing slowly.

The Fire Kingdom, a diverse land that surrounds itself in volcanic biomes and mostly lands that a regular being cannot travel upon without a Heat Shield. The kingdom has been around since the dawn of the Lich's Apocalypse, and has repopulated multiple times in the event of a worldly eruption from the Great Volcano. However, Flame beings have not been around for a long time compared to the kingdom itself. The kingdom started out as one individual being, serving as the grower and developer of the land that all fire beings refer to as their Supreme Overlord, which doesn't appear to be historically accurate. The Supreme Overlord is a religious and prominent belief in the Fire Kingdom being as that each ruler portrays the part of being the Supreme Overlord, however this being historically inaccurate of the Flame Kingdom, the ruler changes by death indicating that ruler cannot be the Supreme Overlord. It is believed that the Supreme Overlord is only one physical being that thrives on the dead flame beings that have either been extinguished or sacrificed to the overlord. This all is a religious belief minding to the indication and uninfluential reader. However, in the year of the decline in the Flame Kingdom, many believed that the constant sacrifices to the Supreme Overlord was what brought the kingdom back to the power of Ooo, that being fictitious.

In the year 1260 was the year that declined the Flame Kingdom the most, in that year, the ruler named Phobeious Mante was put to death after executing many to the belief of the Supreme Overlord without the will or consent of the beings involved. In this crisis, the current leader that has reigned on for a thousand years, revolted against the king and personally diminished him to death. Many views say that the current Flame King murdered the previous leader to gain the power over the Flame Kingdom, this being a false recognition of power. After this false information spread through the land of Ooo, conspirators related to the previous king, sought to diminish the Flame King, that being a drawn plan of failure…

"JAKE!" Princess Bubblegum shouted at Jake directly into his ear. He shook his head, dropping the book onto the ground. "What!" He shouted back. She motioned to follow her as she made her way slowly down the cliff passage way. Jake shook his head and looked down at the book, noticing a small passage to quickly read. He knelt down and read it.

… and as a result, all kingdoms despised the Flame Kingdom for a lack of power. The princesses' throughout the land of Ooo all gathered at the discretion of the counsel of power, that consisting of the Candy Kingdom, Slime Kingdom, Lumpy Space Kingdom, The Jungle Kingdom, and many others. Of the kingdoms, the Jungle Kingdom in the meeting of 1330, was considered the watcher of the land. This title being as not only the watcher and the protector of the land, but being as to over watch the activities of Flame Kingdom, to make sure that there will and never be activity from the Great Circle ever again…

Jake frowned and closed the book, making sure to keep the bookmark on the page he was just on. "The Jungle Kingdom?" He asked himself, slowly following the princess down to the cliff edge.

Marceline crawled over to the water's moonlit waves, and just as her burnt skin was about to be cooled for a short while. However, Finn landed near her making her stop dead in her track. He was covered in burns and his face was almost dead looking. "Finn…" She said with any bit of life in her she could. Flame Finn laughed and grabbed Finn by the back of the neck, lifting him high into the air. "You're weak!" He shouted throwing him down into the ground with a very large slam. Flame Finn laughed some more, picking Marceline up by the sides with both of his hands. "You're pathetic! He shouted throwing her away from the water. A small wave began to form from afar, sending a smaller wave spreading over to the bottom of Flame Finn's feet, creating tiny sizzling sounds. He winced and stepped onto the sand, glancing over at Marceline laying on the sand trying to stand back up to her feet and then at Finn doing the same. "YOU'RE BOTH PATHETIC!" He shouted walking over to Finn.

Finn shouted, rising up with a uppercut to Flame Finn's chin making his head pop up and then Finn ignited his hand to his stomach making Flame Finn cough. Finally Finn stepped back and jumped up with a high kick to the cheek making him fly closer to the water. He rose up and tried to avoid the growing amount of water on the sand, however a set of hands grabbed his back and forced his head down under the shallow part of the water. Flame Finn squirmed and screamed and with everything he had, he squalled his arms trying to grab at Finn. He was unsuccessful as Finn buried his head in the water, making smoke arise from the water and into the air. Finn lifted Flame Finn's head out of the water and began to land elbows to the top of his head hearing countless amounts of cracks making him scream out in pain.

Four sets of ears could hear the screaming from long distances. The first set spun her pink hair around and looked up at the sky, noticing birds scattering from the trees above and squawking from all them as they took to the sky. Then she noticed smoke formulating and allocating with the clouds above. Her mind cleared from all shred of doubt that could be sustained from the current situation making butterflies intensify in her stomach and her worries go away. "Finn."

The second set of eyes also spun around as the princess did so, his ears focused to the direction of the screams and his eyes immediately went to the smoke arising in the clouds. Only from the scream alone he could tell from what was a person in danger, to his brother being in danger. "Finn."

The third set of eyes looked slightly to the left near the forestry area that had smoke piling out of the area. Her hands gripped the balcony stone exterior making a smile slowly creep over her mouth. She looked down at the soldiers who had no clue where the sounds were coming from. "Attention to all Flame Soldiers! Track the smoke in the forest!" She shouted pointing toward the smoke stack. The soldiers all gathered together and immediately began to march and run towards the forest. She looked back up at the smoke and heard more screams. "Finn."

The final set of eyes turned her head toward the scream's echoes through the forest walls. Her ears focused on the direction of the screams and sooner or later she heard yet another scream. She narrowed her eyes above her and quickly jumped and dodged through the tree's branches to reach the top. She came through the top of the tree and looked over yonder to see smoke trailing close by, above the mountain side. She looked around and saw that pairs of eyes followed her in the shadows, making her wave her hands around, ending with pointing toward the cliff edge. "Follow." She said and ran towards the end of the trees and back into the forest's shadow.

Finn continually began to land hit after hit to Flame Finn's head as more cracks of skin and bone came from his head. Finally was Flame Finn able to roll over into the sand deliver a kick to Finn's face sending him spiraling through the air and into the sand. "You're dead!" Flame Finn yelled out in pain. He rose up and focused all the fire he had through his body into his external extremities, healing his countless head injuries. Finn jumped up from the sand and into a squatting position to dodge an overhead shot. He rolled out of the way and jumped into the air raising his right fist to perform a superman punch. His fist dislocated Flame Finn's jaw forcing him down into a hunched over position, allowing Finn to follow up with a knee to his nose.

Marceline watched with pain as Finn began to deliver large amounts of attacks to the evil Finn's body. She tried to let out a little praise but coughed up blood that she so wish she could have ingested. As she watched the two spar, she began to realize that the night was beginning to end. Her eyes widened as she saw the moon was began to disperse into the dawn of very distant light. Her teeth began to dilacerate as the fangs began to move back into their gums, exposing her regular sharp teeth. She tried to shout Finn's name but failed to do so and also tried to stand, also failing to do that skidding back down on the rock she lay.

Finn continued to deliver his attacks, spinning his leg and kicking Flame Finn to the sandy ground. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw that a pink haired figure and a bright orange brownish dog came out of the trees and near the beach. "Wait guys, stay b-!" He shouted. Before Finn could finish a fist knocked him down on the ground and two hands grasped his feet. "THIS ENDS NOW!" Flame Finn shouted picking Finn up and swirling him around in the air. With a final twirl, Flame Finn threw Finn far across the body of water and sending him falling down to the waterfall connected to the body of water. Finn let out a blood hurdling scream for his life as all he could see was water falling to his side and beyond.

Princess Bubblegum put a hand on Jake's shoulder before he could run out and help. She held him back as good as she could do, still being able to hold him back. "Princess, let me go." He silently claimed. "No. Listen!" She quietly claimed. The two listened and could hear chattering of armor and weapons. As the silence grew grim and the sounds grew louder, soldiers began to appear out in the open beach as the sun slowly began to arise. Marceline shifted in the shadow of the rock to hide herself from the light. She closed her eyes and gathered every bit of energy she could do to get the hell out of there. She gulped and lifted up from the rock and blasted the area with dust from her take off to the skies above. The soldiers blocked their faces from the amount of sandy residue from Marceline's liftoff and from a far one could hear the sonic boom of her escape to the cloud layer.

One of the soldiers approached Flame Finn with a concerned walk. "Sir are you alri-." The solider was about to ask but was interrupted by a fist to his chest. Flame Finn began to absorb the fire from the soldier's body and soon his strength was brought back to full health. "I am now." He said smiling at the solider who soon turned to ash in his hands. "SQUAD!" He shouted. The soldier's stance went to stand in attention as Flame Finn shouted. "Fan out and search the area, the betrayer noticed people were here, find them, and bring them to me. And for Glob's sakes, someone find that stupid vampire!" He shouted walking through the ash from the solider.
