-Ruins of Raliorvo-
Finn woke up in a large cell, he was currently lying down on a cement bed, as he could feel a sharp pain within his head, after having to have been once again electrocuted by Electronica a second time.
"FINN!" Finn heard a girl's voice which caused him to look over to his left, revealing that he was in a cell right across from Flame Princess. "Oh thank glob." She stated with a huge smile on her face, "You had me scared to death." Finn nodded in agreement as he walked over to the bars, and looked at her. "What happened?" He asked as he felt his head, he can feel that his blue colored bear cap had been completely removed, he was now hatless, instead of blond hair, Finn now had purple hair, his face was coated in light purple markings, and his finns that were always shown outside his bear hat, were shown to have been attached to the side of his head, where his ears used to be, his back Finn was coming out of the back of his head, from somewhere under his hair, he also had gills on his lower cheek, it was the first time ever, that Finn was ever seen in this form without his dark blue bear hat.
"We were brought to the ruins of Raliorvo, Ice King and I were able to wake up first, he is on the cage dangling above us." Flame Princess answered as she pointed above, as Finn looked up only to see, Ice King inside the cage dangling from the ceiling over the hallway floor. "They also drained most of our powers, getting out of this dungeon is going to be easy." Ice King continued on while looking down at Finn from his cage. "Well we have to try," Finn stated refusing to allow a single dungeon to stand in his way in rescuing Jake, but just before he could even think of a plan, the sounds of the doors to the Dungeon flew open, getting all three of their attention.
"Ahh Looks like you are all up, How Amusing." Finn growled as he turned to see Malice, standing in the corridor, between his cell and Flame Princess's, Ice King's cage was dangling just right above him.
"Where is Jake?!" Finn barked through his sharp jaws, as he glared directly into Malice's menacing gaze. "Lets just say he is, in the sky, far far away, from a dangerous being like you." Malice insulted right in his face as he laughed, which caused Finn to growl, at one point Finn attempted to reach out and grab Malice, but the evil nuclear Fire being was ready, as he grabbed his arm. "Yeah that is what I'm talking about!" He stated through a laugh as he grabbed Finn's head, and heated up his flares on his left hand, causing Finn to scream in pain. "FINN! Let him Go!" Flame Princess screamed as she tried to melt the bars in the cell, with her powers, but instead only felt as if she was going to pass out, due to most of her powers already being drained, by Malice, when she was out cold.
Malice then turned to look at Flame Princess, and smirked, "You know what Kid, you want this shark so bad?" He stated as he forcefully yanked Finn out of his cell, severely injuring his two side Finns that were in place of his ears, "Then here you go." WHAM! Malice shoves Finn hard against Flame Princess's chest, as they both fall to the ground, in Flame Princess's cell. "He looks good on ya fire Princess, you wear him well." Malice stated with a huge laugh of Malice, as Flame Princess growled angrily, as she held her ex-boyfriend in her arms. "Coward! Why don't you fight me like a real man!" Finn snapped, as he got back up, glaring at Malice with an even more menacing look then he had before, only for Malice to just laugh even harder. "As you wish." With one grab of Finn's face he forces his light blue eyes to make direct eye contact with his own, and before he knew it Finn began to feel severe burns all over his body, as he screamed in agony trying to get free. "No No no," Malice stated, as his eyes soon turned green and before Finn knew it, He was back in his human form, much to the horror of the others. "You were too much trouble in that other form anyway." Malice then finished off, as he tossed Finn violently towards the wall, where the sound of a huge crack was heard coming from behind his head, causing Flame Princess to scream in horror.
Malice just snickered with amusement, "I think I've made my point," He stated as he slammed his fist against the wall, causing the cell door to close again, separating himself from Finn and Flame Princess. Finn was just motionless on the ground, while Flame Princess just held him in her arms, his head resting on her chest. "How adorable, too bad you and that idiot shark of yours aren't going to be around to see Ooo be destroyed, and remade into the image that my father wanted." Malice then explained, while Flame Princess just growled through her teeth, as she was seeing nothing but red, as Malice just laughed it up like it was nothing.
"What are you planning on doing?!" Flame Princess demanded angrily, as Malice just looked with a smirk, "Now if I told you it wouldn't be secret now wouldn't it?" He said acting as if he were stupid, much to Flame Princess's anger. "Just give it up bud! There is three of us and one of you." Ice King barked from above in his cage, only for Malice to look up with a smirk. He had completely forgotten about the elderly wizard, but he decided to just laugh it off, as if his threats were nothing more then coming from a cranky old man. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say Pops," Malice insulted as he pressed a button on the wall, which before he knew it, Ice King was forced into a compartment, above on the ceiling, and was soon transferred into the same cell where Finn and Flame Princess were in. "Ouch, that had to hurt." Malice stated with amusement, as he soon turned to see Electronica walk in. "Ah dear sister, you are just in time." Electronica just smiled as she looked with an evil grin towards Finn and the others, but mostly she was glaring at Flame Princess, she didn't forget that day when she humiliated her in her own castle, and she had planned on making her pay dearly, when the time comes. "Don't you worry" she said towards the fiery enraged Flame Princess as she glared back, "You will end up just like him very soon." she then finished off with a big evil smile on her face, before her attention was once again directed towards her older brother. "Patience my dear sister, the Fire girl's time will come as soon as we eliminate the Water one first." Malice said through his mischievous looking grin as he turned around to head back out of the room leaving Electronica inside the holding cells to watch over the prisoners.
Electronica just stood there with her stare glaring down at the young fire queen's glowing red eyes, Flame Princess was so angry, that she wanted to destroy everyone of the Lich's family, but she couldn't do so because of the fact of Malice's devious ways of eliminating both her and Ice King's powers, sometime before Finn woke up in his cell, like the coward he was, Flame Princess knew that he was not a real man, and would go to great lengths to just eliminate their powers just to make himself look and feel more superior than the rest, stuff like this sickened Flame Princess to the core, but right now she could do nothing but continue to stare down Electronica, while still holding the unconscious Finn in her arms.
"You know," Electronica started eventually breaking away the silence, "I was never able to figure out what that Water freak ever saw in you," she said through a look of malice as Flame Princess just gritted her teeth, it was bad enough that she had the nerve to say the things that she was saying, but yet it felt as if she was doing nothing but just taunting and torturing her emotionally while Finn was knocked out. The more she looked into her dark black eyes, the more angrier she became. "I mean come on, look at him, he is nothing more but a mortal, the only reason he got so superior was because, like the coward he was, he ended up dominating everything, just by hiding behind the Ocean, and not fighting through the wills of honor, like a real warrior would." She then continued on as she just crossed her arms over her chest. "You know, sometimes I pity you, a Wonderful Princess of fire, who could be ruling her kingdom the way she is supposed to, but yet here you are. In this cell holding the monster that destroyed your Kingdom, and tried to kill you and your people in your arms." she then did a small chuckled, "How sad." This was the last straw, as Flame Princess released Finn, from her arms and charged at Electronica screaming like a murderous banshee, frightening Ice King in the process.
Electronica just laughed as she dodged Flame Princess's attack, as the metal bars, prevented the young fire queen from reaching the electric princess. "Dang girl! You have quite an anger problem." She said crossing her arms as Flame Princess gripped the bars, and snarled through her teeth. "I swear when I get my hands on you I'm going to-" Electronica was quick to cut her off, before she grabbed her cheek in a painful yet devious way. "You'll do what, kill me again?" She stated as she dug in her electrified claws into Flame Princess's cheek causing her to scream in agony. "Not this time sister." she the proceeded to fling Flame Princess from the cell gate towards the wall, causing Ice King to gasp in horror., as he watched as the young fire queen fell head first to the ground now unconscious herself.
"Hey!" the elderly Ice Wizard protested, "Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" he barked as he pointed directly at her. "Like you?" Electronica joked only for Ice King to gasp, "Me and my big mouth." In an instant, Electronica sent a blast of Electricity towards Ice King, but he quickly jumped out of the way. "Ha ha ha, Dance Grampa Dance." She muttered as she fired multiple electric bolts at Ice King's feet forcing him to tap dance in order to avoid being electrocuted.
However, while Ice King was evading Electronica's lightning blast, he soon spotted a weakness in the cell door, that if hit correctly with a lightning bolt, could cause the gate to come down on top of the independent princess. Just then, Ice King came up with a brilliant plan, as he dodged the last of Electronica's lightning attacks, Electronica looked in hopes of him showing fear on his face, but became quite surprised when she saw him smirking at her. "What are you looking at?" She barked, causing the Ice Wizard to just smirk even wider, and say, "Hey babe, did anyone ever tell you, you throw like a little Infant Toddler?". Electronica became shocked from these sudden words, as her cheeks glowed from both embarrassment and anger, "I don't attack like a Toddler!" she yelled quick to defend herself against Ice King's Insult. "Really?" Ice King started off as he crosses his arms over his chest, still revealing that same smirk that he has on her, "Cause in my eyes, you look like a toddler to me," Electronica's eyes flared up as she clenched her fists, her cheeks glowing redder. "Your going to wanna refrain from calling me that! old man!" she barked as she pointed aggressively toward the elderly king, who just stood there unphased by her sudden change of mood. "Well if your thinking about spilling my blood, I just don't see that happening little girl." This was the final straw as Electronica screamed angrily unleashing a huge blast of voltage electricity through the bars surging towards the elderly man, who just stood there with that same smirk on his face, with arms still crossed over his chest, literally staring as the blast came closer, and closer towards him. Thinking Fast, Ice King quickly dodged out of the way causing the lightning blast to strike what appeared to be a metal plate on the wall, sending it diverting straight up toward the upper game destroying the weakened latch, seeing that the gate was now on the verge of collapsing, Ice King then folded his hands behind his back and said, "Nice shot, too bad your as stupid as you look." He then proceeded to point up to the gate, causing Electronica to look up and gasp, as the heavy metal bars started to break free and collapse, falling directly towards her. "Ugh Oh." she gasped, only to be crushed by the falling debris, as Ice King just let himself out, while looking down at the know unconscious Electronica. "Hey thanks for freeing us babe." he stated with a small chuckle as he knocked his fist on her head as if he were knocking on a door, before turning back to the unconscious Flame Princess and Finn, who were still laying their knocked out in the center of the cell. "I think I better at least, try and figure away out of here, then come back for these two when I've found a solution on how to escape these ruins." Ice King was quick to leave a note on the wall, from a paper and pen that he salvaged from a desk at the end of the hall, then proceeded to begin his ascend through the castle ruins.
Upon departing the outside of the dungeon area, the castle was in complete ruins, with some sectors of the structure being rebuilt, on what appeared to be stone Electrified radioactive particle blocks. Electrogian guards were everywhere, as Ice King slowly made his way through the hallway, using everything in his path as a tool for cover in order to avoid being found out by the guards. Just then, Ice King was able to turn a corridor, upon narrowly escaping 2 Electrogian warlords, that literally almost discovered him, because of his crown falling off, and making a large thud. After retrieving his crown in frustration, Ice King made a mental note, to nextime just leave the trinket back in his castle, as he figured there was no point in wearing it anyway, as his powers were drained by that mad man Malice. "This is getting really frustrating, the only way out appears to be through that huge shaft, but the only thing at the bottom appears to be a wooden platform with water beneath." Ice King said to himself as he thought hard on what to do now. "I hope this is the way out, if I l'm wrong, we're all dead. I better get back to the others, hopefully their up by now." As Ice King started making his way through the rooms of the corridor trying to find his way back to the dungeon cells, the sudden sound of what appeared to be a voice caught his ears, he immediately panicked thinking he was caught, but soon discovered that the voice appeared to have been televised, a recording of some such. Curious, Ice King followed the sounds only to enter what appeared to be a single room that appeared to be a lounge area within the ruins, fortunately there was no one inside it, and he was by far the only one inside the chamber at the moment.
On the wall, he noticed what appeared to be posters of some sort, most of them tideld Finn The Menace. "What the Glob," the elderly wizard said to himself as he ventured deeper into the room, looking left and right, seeing all different kinds of Posters, with the same title, all described to be of Finn, in his elemental state destroying and harming the innocent. He then stepped on what appeared to be another poster, that had just fallen off the walls, and looked only to gasp to see an Image of Finn murdering Flame Princess and the other royals of Ooo. "Oh my glob." Ice King gasp as he walked backwards only for his back to hit the other side of the room causing him to turn around, noticing another poster featuring Finn standing on top of what was seemed to be a liquified wall, with a wooden sign titled Finn's Ooo just to the right of his current position. "I don't like it here." Ice King muttered, beginning to get a little unsettled, only to see what appeared to be a television device on the wall, revealing what appears to be nothing but static and snow. Ice King gathered the courage, and walked over to the television, the TV was described to be a large flat screen with the words Geovision, engraved on it, along with an electrofied effects word made entirely from Neon, stating Manufactured from Egora City. "Egora City?" Ice King stated to himself, as he placed his finger on the set, "That must be where all of these electric punks are from." He then looks up, only to discover that there was a button on the center of the screen, as if it was supposably touch screen based.
The sight of this completely amazed Ice King, as never in the thousands of years that he has been around, has he had seen such an advanced contraption, not even Princess Bubblegum was able to invent something like this yet, but looking at what appears to be a button with a triangle in the center, Ice King then became curious on what would happen if he touched it. "Okay Baby here we go." Ice King stated as he tapped the screen lightly, only for what appeared to be a message to show up on a black screen, reading, "Production of Malicadia Studios, Egora City, All beings who wish to see the truth, on who the real villain of our planet really is, are welcomed to watch." Ice King became completely confused at this small message on the screen. "What on Earth are they talking about?" He stated only for the message to disappear back into a black screen, and before Ice King knew it, a scene on the television showed a young pink girl, with a sign holding up a sign that read "We were foolish to call him a hero." She was dirty looked to have been depressed, her dress was destroyed to the point that she had to use cardboard to hide some parts. Ice King got shocked. "Is that Princess Bubblegum." He then watched as the camera soon zoomed in towards Princess Bubblegum's eye, which Ice King can see anger and hatred within them, as fire started to form as the screen just entered the pupil section. Before he knew it, the scene changed to an electrified city, where the camera zooms into an apartment revealing an electrofied being girl, sitting on the floor watching the exact same TV as the elderly wizard was watching. "Whoa! Is that Electronica?!" Ice King had so many questions flowing through his mind, but his thoughts were soon interrupted when music started to play, before he knew it Ice King was starting to see Finn as he used to be before his Elemental Half, slaying the demons and monsters of Ooo, being the hero as if he was supposed to be, but just then his attitude changed and he began attacking the citizens of an animated small kingdom submerging it, and forcing everyone out. Ice King's eyes went wide open as he continued to watch.
The screen then shows Finn, destroying multiple towns all over Ooo, before eventually growing into his elemental form, before sinking and destroying the entire Candy Kingdom, forcing hundreds upon hundreds of residents including a now homeless princess Bubblegum to abandon the kingdom, before many of them were swallowed by the great flood. The scene then shows Electronica smirking with malice while looking at the TV, as Malice and the Lich are watching from right behind her, as Finn is then shown standing ontop of his tree fort, slamming his hands together causing a huge oceanic downpour to fall from the sky literally submerging all of Ooo, as he grins in victory, but is soon attacked by what appears to be remnants of the remaining Kingdom's with Marceline and Princess Bubblegum leading the charge. Finn then jumps into the air and flips soon turning himself into a giant oceaning monster gobbling up most of the counterattack and even devouring Marceline alive. Just the sight of this on the screen forced Ice King to cringe and shut his eyes, for a few seconds before gathering the courage to look at the screen again. In the next scene in the video, while the same music was playing and the unidentified artists continued sing, Finn is then shown swimming through the sea of what used to be the land of Ooo, as hundreds of Princesses are either left homeless, or dead from Finn's actions, Flame Princess is then shown kneeling down at the death of her brother, with the Aquatic Walls looming in her background, with Finn watching in amusement as Flame Princess fell crying, before submerging on the other side of the wall. Tears formed in Ice King's eyes, as he wiped them away from seeing the young fictional flame queen's pain, as the scene then switches back to Electronica still sitting in the same spot, this time her brother and father are no longer in the room, but are instead speaking with the former rulers of Ooo, attempting to convince them to not fear them, but instead join them, join them in the freeing of Ooo and the elimination of the treacherous Finn, Princess Bubblegum agrees and shakes Malice's hand as the Lich then unsummons then begins to travel around the world in order to unify all the princess's while Malice did the same thing in Electrogia, with Electronica smiling with even more malice, from her apartment with her eyes still fixed upon the TV.
The next scene is even more horrific for Ice King to see, as he can see the remnants of the banana guards that survived the Candy Kingdom's destruction, completely become well equipped with state of the art electrified weaponry, spears, and armor, while Princess Bubblegum herself, was also fitted with such equipment, while her face showed the slash mark that Finn gave her when he destroyed her kingdom, Ice King gulped when he saw the anger, and hatred in the fictional Princess Bubblegum's eyes, as she then proceeds to hide the slash with a chunk of light blue taffy, with electric words spelling Insurrection on her cheek. The scene then changes to Finn lounging at the bottom of Finn's Ooo, until he senses more intruders smuggle upon his kingdom, he proceeds to swim out to engage only to discover that the boats invading his waters, were a decoy. The scene quickly switches to the outskirts of Finn's Ooo, as an entire army of Electrogian and Ooo kingdom remnants arrive at the wall, and blow it open with a giant electrified cannon type weapon, causing severe damage to the body of water that filled Finn's Ooo, and causing to begin draining rapidly. The army of Insurrection, proceeds to slaughter its way through water beings making its way through the ruins of Finn's Ooo, as a single water being child watches what is going on through Oceanic Television, while a large army of Banana Guards and Princess Bubblegum herself, are shown advancing in the background through the mucky muddy soils of Ooo. Finn is soon, cornered by Malice and is quickly overrun, causing him to explode into a radioactive fiery watery demise, flinging Marceline out alive as she falls face first into the muddy soil down below, only to be hugged by Princess Bubblegum as everyone in the world cheers, including the Lich. The final scene is then shown as Malice, Electronica and even the Lich are now standing on the dead ruins of what used to be Finn's tree fort, as the trio look out into the wastelands of what used to be Finn's Ooo, the song eventually ends with the camera zooming out from the trio and going black just as it reached the outside of the shattered ruins of Finn's Aqua Walls.
Snapped back to reality as the black screen then turned back into static and snow, Ice King, was completely terrified on what he had just seen, he felt as if his eyes couldn't ever blink again, he had to get out of this room now, before he goes into complete madness. Without batting an eye, Ice King quickly darted out of the door, and down the hall, it became apparent to him, this wasn't any form of just one on one revenge, Malice had planed to turn the whole Earth against Finn, and that one video he ha just seen, was a miere Propaganda music video, featuring Finn's rise and downfall. It was now official, this Malice character had to be stopped, no matter the cost.
-Back in the Raliorvo Dungeons-
Finn had slowly opened his eyes, only to discover he was lying down on the ground next to Flame Princess, he was confused, but felt a sharp pain in his head as he slowly rose up to a sitting position. "Ah my head, what happened?" He asked himself, as he began to look around, only to discover the cell block gate was broken and smashed onto the floor, on what appeared to be Electronica, who had still not have woken up yet, Ice King was no where in sight. "Woah, I might have to admit I might have underestimated Ice King's intelligence." Finn stated with a smile on his face as he got up, and looked around in hopes to find a sign, where the elderly wizard had disappeared too, It was from that very instant, that he noticed Ice King's letter that was left by the old wizard, before he left the cell to try and search for a way out. "Hm, well at least he left a note." Finn stated with relief as he walked over to read it.
The note read...
Hey Kids...
I was able to open the cell Blocks for yas...
I have stepped out to try and find a way out of here,
If you have woken up before I return, and you are reading this,
Please remain in your cell until I get back with any information on how we can escape
These castle ruins...
Love
Ice King...
"Ha ha, Ice King is smarter than I thought." Finn started with a look of impressment on his face, as he soon heard a grunt, on what appeared to have been from a young girl. He turned only to see Flame Princess in a sitting position rubbing her head. "Oh what happened?" Flame Princess muttered as she looked around, only to see Finn awake, and the Cell block gate completely collapsed. "Whoa Finn, I had no idea you were this powerful when it came to water." she was quick to respond only for Finn to do a nod of disapproval. "I didn't do this Phoebe it was Ice King, looks like he had a little fun with Electronica while we were out." the 16 year old stated with a chuckle while pointing a thumb at the knocked out Electric woman, that was trapped under the debris of the gate. Flame Princess was surprised, she didn't believe it at first, but after remembering that Finn had been knocked out before her, it actually made more sense.
"Wow, I might own that old Doof an apologie when he gets back." Flame Princess stated with a huge smile, as Finn nodded in agreement, only to hear the door fly open, and a heavily exhausted Ice King running into their cells. "Ice King what is it?" Finn asked a little worried. "No time! We gotta get out of here now!" Finn was really confused, he knew that the three were in danger, but the way that Ice King was reacting, the situation must have been even more serious then he had imagined. "What is it? what did you see?" Finn quickly asked, only for Ice King to just hold up a hand and say, "I promise I will explain everything, but we have to get out of here now, I don't wanna be here a second longer." Judging by the sound of his voice, it looked as if Ice King was practically begging, so Finn decided to temporary brush everything off and agree, as the three quickly escaped their cells and exited down the corridor, following Ice King towards the main shaft that he found 20 minutes ago.
-The Astonoth Corridors-
"Its this way." Ice King stated as both Finn and Flame Princess stood by him, before they all jumped down the shaft, landing directly on the wooden platform, which lead into a new unfinished hallway, riddled with Booby traps, trap doors and Electrogians. "Looks like getting out of here is going to be a lot harder than we expected." Ice King stated as Finn and Flame Princess, quickly stood up, ready for anything. "Alright everybody we don't have our powers anymore, so we have to rely on our speed to get out of here." Finn started off as both nodded in agreement, "Good, alright everyone stay behind me and don't stop! Lets go!" Finn yelled as all three went running down the corridor, leaping over pits on the ground, avoiding multiple Electrogian attacks, jumping over Lightning lazer based generators producing Lightning bolts, to dig into the mortar of the ruined castle, and literally began to make their way through room by room, before entering a wooden pathway that swerved into a different corridor. Now Out of breath the three stop to rest for a few seconds. "Okay I didn't suspect this hall to be this long." Ice King muttered, only for Flame Princess to groan in annoyance. "Alright listen everyone, I know that this has to be the way out, because there are booby traps and everything dangerous down here, they wouldn't have this here for nothing you know." Ice King suggested only for Finn to agree and say, "He is right Malice must be desperate and preventing us from leaving these ruins, so we have to be quick and-" He is soon cut off by what appears to be a roar sound coming from beneath them in the bottomless pit below. "What was that?" Ice King gasped in horror. "I don't know" replied Flame Princess, Finn looked down into the bottomless pit below, but couldn't see nothing but blackness down there, but then the roar was heard again, this time even closer, causing Finn's eyes to go wide in horror. "Run RUN!" He cried as he quickly raced back to Ice King and FLame Princess grabbing them both by the hands, just in time as the path way broke revealing what appeared to be a giant Electrofied dragon.
The beast roared viciously as the three ran down the hall at fast speed. A great chase ensured throughout the entire Astonoth Corridor section of the ruins, as the three tried to keep ahead of the dragon, but multiple obstacles such as falling debris, holes on the ground that led to furnaces, and multiple trap doors made it real difficult to keep their speed up. "I really hate this castle!" Ice King yelled, as the group struggled to stay ahead, as Flame Princess narrowly avoided being chomped by the electric dragon's powerful jaws. "Over there through that door way!" Finn screamed as the three leaped through the doorway as the Dragon temporarily got stuck, giving the three a chance to take a small breather, only for Flame Princess to notice that the wall was weak and wasn't going to hold for long. "Oh know!" Finn and Ice King looked at her, only for her to yell, "Its not going to hold keep running!" She screamed as Finn and Ice King looked at each other for a second, only to realize that Flame Princess was fight the wall came down and the Electric dragon smiled menacingly towards the two. "Whoa! Come on!" Finn yelled as he and Ice King quickly continued on trying to catch up with Flame Princess who was far ahead of them.
The Dragon roared, and sent a blast of pure electricity straight for the two. "Look out!" Ice King yelled as the two quickly leaped separate ways missing the dragon's attack. Missing the first blast Finn and Ice King quickly continued making their way ahead of the beast narrowly avoiding its giant electrified feet. "Another opening in the wall straight ahead!" Finn yelled, as he could see Flame Princess there waiting for both him and the elderly wizard. "Hurry!" Flame Princess screamed, as Finn and Ice King leaped thrown the hole in the wall, but this time didn't bother to stop and just kept running. Just as expected the wall collapsed as well, due to its weakened, state, as the Electrified Dragon continued chasing after the three, this time sending another blast of Lightning towards the three. "Here it comes again!" Ice King yelled, as Finn and the others quickly dodged the Dragon's blast of lightning, as best as they could, while at the same time still trying to avoid obstacles and trying to stay ahead of the beast. "Man I hate being withouT my powers!" Flame Princess screamed out of aggravation, "Just shut up and keep running!" Ice King yelled, as the three leaped over a pit, and made their way through another part of the corridor, by then the Dragon leaped into the air and slammed down hard against the ground, causing the whole hall way to shake and much debris to fall from the ceiling.
"Look out!" Flamew Princess screamed, as the three tried to dodge the falling debris as best as they can, only for a stone to knock Ice King's crown clean off sending it rolling straight towards the electric beast, that was fast approaching. "My Crown!" yelled the elderly wizard, "Just leave it come on!" Flame Princess screamed as she tried to pull him with her, "No! Without out I'm powerless!" Finn stopped in his tracks and saw what was going on, without saying a word he quickly, went darting in the direction of the crown passed Flame Princess and Ice King, with the two watching in terror. "FINN NO!" Flame Princess screamed, as she and Ice King watched the 16 year old run towards the direction of the crown, which was also in the direction of the fast approaching Electric Dragon.
Seeing a chance to destroy one of its prey, the Dragon makes a faster speed dash towards Finn, its eyes locked onto his, while Finn is moving towards the crown even faster. "FINN!" Flame Princess screamed again, as she tried to race out only to be stopped by Ice King. "Let me go! I gotta save him!" she begged, only for Ice King to say "No its too late you can't go out there kid!" Flame Princess just watched as the Dragon leaped toward the 16 year old, who by then was able to snatch the crown, but notice the dragon's powerful jaws coming straight at him. Finn however showed no fear, and quickly leaped out of the way, causing the Dragon to miss its mark and fall over to the side, giving Finn the chance to run around, narrowly avoiding being electrocuted by its swinging tail.
After returning to the two, Finn quickly gave the crown back to Finn and simply said through words of annoyance, "Try to keep this on your head next time." Finn then turned to see Flame Princess grasping her chest, breathing sighs of relief, but just before she could react to Finn's insane actions, the dragon got back on all fours and roared, this was a signal to keep running. "Can't this thing give us a break already!" Ice King yelled out of frustration, as the three continued dashing down the corridor.
As the two eventually made their way through more obstacles jumping over more pits and dodging more falling debris, the group then notice the hall widening up to what appeared to be a large atrium like section of the ruined castle. There in the center stood a stone like bridge, that connected the Airis Sector from the Astonoth Corridor, "Quick! Across the Bridge!" Finn yelled, as they made their over as fast as they can, only to discover the bridge is weak and brittle and could collapse at anytime. "Hurry the bridge isn't going to hold run!" Flame Princess screamed as the group narrowly made it across just in time for the bridge to collapse completely, as the Dragon foolishly so fixed on catching and destroying its prey ended up falling down the bottomless abyss with the falling debris, as the group watched as it roars began to fade away down the abyss until all of a sudden, THUMP! there was silence within the castle ruins now, the Dragon had hit the bottom of the pit, the trio was now free from the clutches of this electric beasts.
-Aris Sector-
As the group was breathing heavily from both sighs of relief and exhaustion, Finn and Ice King couldn't help but have a laugh on how lucky they were to be alive, after narrowly missing death twice while on the run from that monster.. "Wow, by the glob we almost got killed, for a second I thought that was it for the three of us." Ice King admitted with a soft chuckle, as Finn smiled and simply said, "Ah we were able to make it out alive, as always Ice King, and besides I got back your crown back as well." Finn then added out just for Ice King to smile and say "Yeah thanks kid." Finn then turned to ask if Flame Princess was relieved to be alive, only to get punched hard in the cheek and sent to the ground. "You IDIOT!" screamed the fire queen, "what is wrong with you! Are you trying to get yourself killed out there?!" Finn was shocked by Flame Princess's sudden strike on his face and angry outbursts, as he got up. "Phoebe It was the only way I can get Ice King's crown, but I made it out, we all made it out, you should be relieved like all of us." Finn stated in his defense, more surprised then angry from Flame Princess's outburst. "I will not Finn, you haven't changed at all! You and your reckless ways! You are reliable to give anyone a heart attack!" Finn was speechless as he can see the anger in Flame Princess's eyes, but he was also able to make out tears coming down her cheek. "Hey you okay?" Ice King asked in a gentle way, only for Flame Princess to turn and storm away before stopping after about 15 paces, she then turned back to glare at Finn and Ice King, who was just staring at her, trying to find out why she was so angry, "You will never get it Finn! You will never get it." that was the only word she said before continuing down the corridor, and disappearing out of sight, leaving Finn speechless.
He then turned over to Ice King and said, "Boy did I do something wrong, she looks really angry." Ice King took a deep breath and said "Well you did almost kill yourself, trying to get my crown, and no offense kid, she is right, a stunt like the one you just pulled will get any woman to act that way, regardless if they are an Ex or not." Finn didn't know what to do, he wanted to talk to Flame Princess and see if he can make things right, but at the same time, for an ex-girlfriend she had been acting more protective than the time of the Red Throne Incident, could her reaction also be apart of that one Nightmare that Flame Princess had last night, he just had to know.
"You know kid, if I were you I would try talking to her," Ice King insisted, "Even when they are angry, girls usually want someone to talk to, it shows them that you at least care, and are willing to try and make things right, but if you choose to ignore them, then they will start treating you with even more hostility." Finn did some thinking and realized that Ice King was right, he had to talk to Flame Princess, and find out what was really bothering her. "Your right Simon, I'll go talk to her now, come on." Finn instructed as he raced in the direction of where Flame Princess disappeared to, but Ice King was still left confused, "Seriously why dose everyone keep calling me Simon, I don't even know who that is." He complained to himself as he followed after Finn.
