Author's Notes:
Big thanks goes out to my dear friend Ben Coley, Fenrir8426, who doubled teamed this chapter on Google Documents with me so the way everything is worded will be different in this chapter.
I had a blast writing this with him and I hope all of you enjoy it!
It is more explicit with detail, with how everything is described and this chapter corresponds to Chapter 11, Read Chapter 11 title then this one!
I Do Not Own Adventure Time Or Any Of The Characters Except The OC's, Which Are Mine And White Drakim.
To Ashes
I drew that so familiar face on the floor in the living room and threw the bug juice on it. Then I said the chant that will give me access to the Nightosphere and the portal opened. I jumped in and started my way to Abadeer Castle to meet my father-in-law, Hunson.
As I made my way there people started hiding from me and I could hear voices whispering all around me. All the whispers said the same thing "It's Finn!"
'Why is everyone suddenly so scared of me? Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something important about being royal?' I thought to myself as I smacked myself. 'Duh, I married the Queen of the Nightosphere making me the King, wait doesn't that make me the ruler of the Nightosphere?' I asked myself. 'Guess I'll have to ask Hunson about that when I get there.' I said to myself as I picked up the pace to get there.
I didn't realize I was already there though. 'Today is just not going well.' I thought to myself. 'I got to pay attention at a time like this.'
I was allowed in without question and I quickly found Hunson eating a cheeseburger. When he saw me, he got up and wiped his mouth with a napkin and welcomed me.
"Finn, my son, how have you been? He asked me.
"I have been fine, how about you?" I asked him back.
"Same old – same old, being evil and ruling the Nightosphere." He said with a slight smile.
"What brings you here Finn?" He asked me another question, taking a bite from his cheeseburger.
"Well I need your help?" I told him.
"My help… I see, this has something to do with Marceline, am I correct?" He asked, walking to a side of the room.
"Yes, she was kidnapped and I need you to help me to see if my hunch is correct about her whereabouts." I told him with complete seriousness.
"Ok I'll help you but in return you'll do something for me." He said with a small laugh.
"I'll do anything you want even though you should help me with nothing in return." I told him wanting to get going so I can get the kidnapper's ass.
"Oh, you think this or me, well kind of, but it is nothing you can't handle." He said.
"Well what is it you want me to do?" I asked him, getting a little pissed that he won't hurry up and help me.
"I want you and Marceline to rule over the Nightosphere for me." He said with a cringe, from how hard it was to say that. The truth he liked ruling over the Nightosphere but he wanted it to be traditional and wanted pass it down. "Just make sure the Queen of the Candy Kingdom doesn't rule, I don't want her part of this and plus she has to rule over own kingdom." He told me.
I was shocked at what he said and just stared at him. "Fine I'll do it just tell me where she is." I told him.
"Alright follow me and oh you'll need this from now on and don't worry I had it modified to where it makes you turn." He said as he handed me the necklace that I have worn once and never wanted to again. "Put it on." So I did and nothing happened, but I could feel the evil running through me but I have learned self-control and have a lot more experience since so it had no effect on me now.
I didn't notice that Hunson was already on the move and quickly tried to catch up to him. We walked into this large room and this one had a very large and detailed map in the middle of it.
"This is the exact position to where she is located." He said as he pointed to a familiar looking part of Ooo.
"What a fucking moron." I said out loud as I couldn't hold back from laughing.
"Excuse me." Hunson said as he looked at me and thought I was talking about him.
"Oh sorry Hunson I wasn't talking to you and how did you know the exact location without even looking at the map for even a second?" I asked him.
"It was Ash." He said with the most fucking hilarious smile that I have ever seen. I couldn't help myself from bursting into laughter because I guess it was that obvious.
"That idiot really is moron isn't he." He said bursting into laughter with me. This made me laugh even harder because his laugh was funnier than his smile which made him laugh harder. We were practically rolling on the floor laughing at how fucking stupid Ash was. We got over it and we were parting ways.
"Hey Finn." He called to me.
"Yes." I answered.
"Kill the idiot for me would you and I'm glad to be able to call you my son-in-law and I' also glad that Marceline chose you." He said with a grin.
"You got it dad and thanks, that means a lot." I smiled.
"Finn please don't call me that, ever." He answered with a blank face.
"Good to know, well I'll see you later Hunson." I said to him as I was about to walk away.
"Wait Finn where are you going?" He asked me.
"Um, the portal." I answered, curious to what he meant by that.
"Oh I forgot to give the special that you get when you are part of the Abadeer Family. Come here and shake my hand." He said. I did what he told me and I felt a surge of power go through me.
"Now just wave your hand and the portal will open up to your home and you can now do that along with some other things just ask Marceline when you get her back." He said with a wink. I had no idea what the wink was for but I guess I'll find out when I rescue Marceline.
"One more thing Finn, make sure to give some grand-children." He said with a chuckle. I almost fainted when he said that then thought about it, not a bad idea.
I waved my hand and the portal opened and I quickly went through it. I looked back and waved and he waved back and I waved my hand and the portal closed.
I continued to think about what Hunson said about giving him grand-children, as I thought about ti more it actually sounded like a great idea, it would be nice. First things first though I would have to save Marceline and then talk to each of them about it.
I put that thought aside and noticed I was unconsciously running toward my destination was. 'I still can't believe that he is that big of a moron. I was getting close to the house, Ash's House. I got a little closer to it and then I felt a huge pain all over my body. It was an invisible electric force field.
'Who the hell am I fighting, a 10 year old?' I thought to myself as I quickly disarmed the force field which only took me a few seconds.
That wasn't the only obstacle that stood in my way, I had to go through 5 golems, an army of goblins and a fucking dragon as well. 'Where did the hell did he get all of these people from.' I thought to myself.
I went into the house and looked around but couldn't find anyone. I decided to look in the back yard but I got a surprise when I did. Behind his house were the ruins of a big building from back before the Mushroom-War. Yep that's where they were alright I could smell blood, Marceline's blood. 'Oh this fucker is going to die slowly.' I thought to myself.
I went into the building and was halted by a huge fireball that almost hit me.
"Well, Well, Well look what the cat dragged in, a dead man." Ash laughed maniacally.
"You so sure about that." I told him with a sneer.
"Unlike before I'm not as weak as I once was, the last time you beat the shit out of me." He said.
"Yes that was one of the best days of my life." I said remember being able to kick his fucking ass.
"Finn don't underestimate him this time he truly has gotten stronger." A voice came from the left, it was worn out and a little hoarse. I looked in the direction the voice came from, it was Marceline.
Rage swirled throughout my body, and I was fueled by the sight of my Marceline, Queen of the Vampires, injured, beaten, and manacled to a post that had appeared as though it once was a flagpole.
Not only was my Queen, but she was more… My wife, my lover, my friend, and more importantly of all those, a person that lit up my entire world. She and Bonnie were the two most important people in my life. My love for them has even became stronger than the one between Jake and me, but he understood that when I told him.
To see her in such a critical condition, blood trickling down her body as if crimson tears leaked from her wounds. Her pale body bruised in shades of dark brown and she would have seemingly approached the fingers of death if I wasn't there at that moment, to protect her.
I was in a terrible state myself but all my attention was on my beautiful girl who was chained on the other side of the building.
I called out to her. She barely had the strength to lift her head and look at me in the eyes, she must have used the rest of her strength to call out to me. "I Love You Marceline."
I cried out. I knew she was crying out that moment, I was too for letting this happen. I wasn't paying attention and Ash was coming towards me, as soon as I looked at him he hit me upside the head. That was when I could see Marceline and she could see me and I seen her mouth the I Love You Too as she cried.
This sent me into my blood lust again. My eyes darted grudgingly at the villain in front of me. His eyes dark and hateful, and acidic as they bored into my very being.
Before I seen anything else, I felt a sharp pain tear into my stomach, as he kept kicking me, I let him. He might be more strong with his magic but when it comes to fist to fist he isn't anything so he let his guard knowing that he should keep me at a distance with his magic, a big mistake. I grimaced, but returned to my stoic demeanor. I might be getting my butt kicked right now but I still hold the reputation of Ooo's best fighter and the greatest Hero of all.
He got winded and got my chance to get up. He slowly backed away and we circled each other until one or the other attacked.
"I'm going to kill you if it is the last thing I do, Ash." He laughed the maniacal cackle of a man enraged with envy and jealousy, which taunted me. I tossed a punch and a kick, it did little, which surprised me, but it still connected to the side of his despicable mouth, the one that spouted such ludicrous bullshit of Marceline getting back with him. That made me chuckle and I thought to myself ' I will NEVER allow that to happen, as long as I breathe air!'
"You little piss ant... you'll pay for that!" He snarled, sending a leg crashing into my ribs, snapping noises making it quite obvious that something had broken. I, adrenaline becoming my essence, had felt little of that blow. I grabbed my crimson blade between my strong fingers, anticipating my opponent's next move, with the little energy I had possessed. Slowly, the wizard-warrior circled me, like an animal of incredible power stalking it's prey. I wasn't scared of this fucking buffoon though.
I leapt quickly to his side, dodging a right jab aimed for my chest, and ripped the hellish blade of demon blood against his skin, this time I know I did some serious damage. He was pissed, I sidestepped gracefully to avoid a forward kick from the demonic predator.
Dammit... my swordmsanship and fighting capabilities were still not enough to defeat this formidable, I thought of using my vampiric abilities but I didn't do that much training with them. So I tried one last thing I could... copycat. I got close enough and I touched him and I instantly knew everything he did and was now able to use his powers. I held him off and did some major damage but after a while it wore out. I stood for a moment to catch a breath and was too caught up in how I could defeat him that I didn't notice the slippery snake of a bastard had snuck up on me.
He darted forward, grinding his fists heavily into my cheeks, sending me spiraling across the shattered floor of this building that laid in ruins. I crashed thunderously, with a earth-fracturing !THUD!, into a broken piece of the building.
I gasped in pain, and grimaced before moving myself upward, shrugging off the discomfort I was feeling, and focusing on all the frothing hatred bubbling in my blood. I didn't have that much fight left in me but I knew one thing and one thing for sure, I knew I was not going to go down without a fight or at least taking the motherfucker down with me.
"Your Mar-Mar, really!? Look at what you did to her, you bastard! You're a monster from the lowest parts of hell! You don't deserver her affection even if you were the last person on the fucking face of the earth!" I told him, with a low growl added into my tone.
"Oh, shut up. She couldn't possibly love a chump like you. If she does, then she's more idiotic than I gave her credit. And that wasn't all I did to her." He said with a smile that I wish I could rip off his fucking face. "Oh you don't know how good she felt, her walls clenching around my dick, crying the whole time as I fucked her brains out." He told me, knowing it would get the best of me.
I howled in flared in emotion, pouncing forward, and aiming my blade exactly where it belonged, lodged deep within his throat and out the other side. He simply dodged the sloppy attack with ease and I jumped backwards, yet, I had little time to evade the gnarled tendrils of smoky black lightning shooting from the prick's fingertips. Not only did the electrified shock rack my systems, but multiple wounds tore through my chest, ripping up my body and exiting at the other end of my back, barely missing my spine and killing me instantly.
The excruciating pain was not the most horrendous part of the ordeal, but it was the fact that I could not be of any help to my love of my life, thanks to my body giving out, that hurt me much, much more.
I cried out in agony as blood streamed profusely from the still-burning wounds, and with tremendous effort, stood up on two legs. I knew I would die at any moment but I remembered something that I have read before, from a dear friend of mine. I laughed at the thought of him getting his ass kicked even though it wouldn't be by me.
Ash laughed at my pathetic state, staring me over once again. When I had entered the battle, I was a monster manufactured from the flames of fury, and yet after a microscopically small battle, I was now a trembling creature of near defeat who quivered in suffering pain, but I was never scared of the prick. I would rather accept death as a friend than be scared of the fucking moron.
"Is that all, legendary hero...?" His laugh clamored throughout the ugly, broken landscape. I knew now, without a doubt, as I was leaking my crimson essence on the burning floor of the wreckage of a building, that I was doomed... Unless... I decided to give him a little surprise. I smiled at the thought once again, gaining his attention.
"What the hell are you laughing about, you fucking lunatic!" He screamed at me coming over and kicking me in the ribs breaking some more of my bones.
"Hey Ash." I said out loud.
"What do you want you little piece of shit, do you want to say your final words, maybe an apology to Marceline for being such a waste of her time or maybe you want to beg for your pathetic worthless life?" He said with some curiosity in his voice.
"Remember when I said I was going to kill you." I said, as I started laughing again.
"Yea." He answered.
"I lied, I will not be killing you because Adu Von Vaxcum Ne Hither! I murmured beneath my breath.
"What?" He said with a confused look on his face.
Through a portal of what appeared as pure darkness, an ally had been thrown through. I laughed happily at this, and grinned at my companion.
"You see Ash, I have already won the battle." I said, as I laughed so hard that I starting choking on some of my own blood. Then I looked at my friend and winked and he winked back. 'Ash dies today' I thought to myself, falling to the ground unconscious.
"Finn!" Was the last thing Finn heard as he fell into a cozy sleep, it was the voice of Marceline. He smiled, going into the darkness of his mind thinking of her voice and Bonnie's, determined to come back to them.
Little did Finn know that Valix summoned White to help heal him. She left the scene with Finn and Marceline across both of her shoulders to take them back to their place where she took care of them.
