Chapter Twelve: S*it Happens
Kuro looked at the fire girl and his target with a questioning eye. "Who is Finn? I am Kuro, the third greatest human."
Jake turned to Seraphina and whispered, "This is probably some clone of Finn that Dante made to mess with our heads. Like since it looks like Finn he thinks we won't hurt it."
Seraphina smiled and began her spell. "Was he ever wrong."
She launched the spell, but this time, Kuro had his sword and cut the fireball in half. And Jake noticed the sword 'Kuro' was using.
"Hey, FP, stop!" She was distracted and Kuro hit her with the flat part of the blade, knocking her out. Kuro then turned towards Jake. He lunged. Jake shape shifted a hole in the center of his body and Kuro flew through it, but not before slashing it a couple of times. Jake fell forwards, but caught himself and sent a giant foot backwards, which knocked Kuro into yet another building. Jake waited for him to come up and attack, but after several minutes of silence, he started forwards. Then he felt a slight sting in his neck, felt it, and saw in his hands a poison dart. He immediately grew his liver out, but he still felt affected. He fell forwards and looked at Finn, who rose from the rubble.
"What?... Why isn't this working?"
"Because the dart isn't filled with poison, it's filled with chocolate. And no matter what size the dog is, chocolate will kill it without a doubt." Jake saw on Finn's face a look he didn't usually associate with this current situation; happiness and glee. "Lucky for me, I can now take a vacation. Unlucky for you, you were on my list." Kuro sheathed his sword and began to leave.
"Finn, wait…"
Kuro looked back. "I told you, my name is Kuro, the third greatest human."
Jake blacked out as Finn left the area.
. . .
Sometime later… let's say a week or so?
Jake opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the rebel camp's hospital. The fake Finn, as he now knew, sat beside him in a chair. He looked up.
"Hey, Jake! How are you?"
"I'm doing good, Finn." Calling this fake Finn mad Jake want to vomit. But he held it in, because he had important information. "Hey, Finn, can you bring in Lady, Marceline, Bubblegum and Seraphina? I need to talk to them. In private."
"Sure thing dude!" He went outside and the four came in. He hugged lady, then told her to get off for a second.
"Guys, I'm gonna tell you something shocking. But no matter how shocking it is, you have to Royal Promise not to gasp or tell anyone unless I say you can." They all Royal Promised. "All right, here goes… I think Finn is the mole."
They all stood still and waited for him to explain.
"Seraphina, you saw the sword that the assassin used, right?"
"Yeah, it was Finn's sword. But Dante still has it, and he probably gave it to the clone so it would convince people that it was Finn."
"Yeah, but only the real Finn can use it." They all looked at him. "A while before Finn found Dante, Finn lost his sword in the mountains. It got picked up by some trolls and he had to fistfight them all to get it back. After that, Finn went and found some old magic spell that would attach the sword to him, so only he could use it- if anyone else touched it, they would immediately start vomiting."
"But if Dante cloned Finn-" Bubblegum began.
"But that's the thing. It can only be used by the person who cast the spell, regardless of biological makeup and genes. A clone can't use the sword because of the spell."
"Then who did we rescue?" Marceline asked the question they were all wondering.
"Well, if we think about it, Dante let us off easy when we did that rescue mission. If he wanted, he could've just teleported there and hacked us all down, right?" They all agreed. "So he let us go on purpose, because he knew he wasn't losing anything. The 'Finn' we have here is probably a clone spying on us, giving information to Dante."
"That's why he always seemed to know our movements," Bubblegum said, "and how he could always counter them."
"Yeah, that's probably it."
"So what do we do?"
"We capture the clone ask it some questions, then capture the real Finn and un-brainwash him."
They all agreed that it was a good plan. Except one person who was listening without them knowing, who immediately went out into the forest surrounding the camp, and climbed a tree.
"My lord, they know of our plans. They want to capture me, and then capture the Origin."
"Very well, wait a week to gather any last bits of information, and wait until their suspicion is obvious, then activate plan Omega: Kill everyone."
"Yes, My Lord."

A Beach somewhere on the Western Coast of Ooo
'Kuro' looked up at the sky in admiration as his toes were caressed by the waves. He then turned back towards his book, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War and kept reading. He enjoyed fiction.
"Finn?"
Kuro looked back and saw an old, blue-skinned man with a jeweled crown, blue cloak, and a beard.
"My name is Kuro, is there anything I can do for you?"
The old man looked as if he realized something, then said, "No, nevermind. You just remind me of someone I used to know. You look a lot like him."
"Well, that's interesting." He returned to reading as the old man pulled up a chair.
"You mean you really don't remember anything?"
"What do you mean?"
"You and me, we used to fight a lot. It was more sparring than a deathmatch, but it was still a fight. And we both had fun."
"What are you talking about, old man?"
"You know, saving princesses! Like that time you saved Seraphina! Well, not that she needed saving," the old man began to mutter, but was unheard.
For Kuro had begun to remember.
End of Chapter Twelve.
