It Came From The Nightosphere

Roxy was with Finn at Marshall Lee's new house.

"Wow, you really spruced up the place. I really like it," Roxy said

"Thanks. I'm glad you like it," Marshall Lee said with his usual smirk.

Finn, Roxy, and Marshall Lee made their way to the living room where Marshall Lee was going to record his song. Marshall Lee had, of course, his bass axe and Finn had a small recorder in his hand. For some reason, Roxy was sitting at a drum set.

"Thanks for helping me record, you guys," Marshall Lee said as he tuned his guitar.

"No problem, Marshall Lee," Finn said

"Our pleasure," Roxy said, "But uhmmmmm…..are you sure I should be on this?" Roxy asked holding up a set of drumsticks.

"You'll be great," Marshall Lee said

"Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh….I've never touched these…..or at least I don't think I have," Roxy said

Marshall Lee slides up next to Roxy and puts an arm over her shoulder. "You'll do great," He repeated, "Now, I'm gonna sing something really personal, so don't laugh at me," Marshall Lee said

"I would never dream of it kind sir," Finn said

"Now, start a slow beat, and keep it steady, or it'll mess up everything," Marshall Lee said

"You got it!" Finn and Roxy said

Roxy looked down at the drum set then started to tap the bass drum pedal keeping a steady beat. Then as if her hands moved on their own her left hand started to tap the High Tom-Tom and her right hand tapped one of the cymbals keeping the beat. Roxy's eyes were wide as her hands moved on their own playing the drum set.

"Whoa….." Roxy said amazed looking at her hands.

Finn smiled then hit record on his player then started to beatbox keeping in time with Roxy. Marshall Lee started to strum his guitar creating the finishing musical sound for their song.

"Daddy, why did you eat my fries?

I bought them, and they were mine.

But you ate them, yeah, you ate my fries...

And I cried, but you didn't see me cry."

Finn and Roxy looked at each other their faces slowly dropping as they listened to the lyrics of Marshall Lee's song.

"Daddy, Do you even love me?

Well, I wish you'd show it,

'Cause I wouldn't know it.

What kind of dad eats his own son's fries,

And doesn't even look him in the eyes?

Daddy, there were tears there.

If you saw them would you even care?"

As the song went on Roxy and Finn had stopped playing staring sadly at Marshall Lee. Marshall Lee trailed off in his song a frown on his face.

"Huh? Guys, you missed the beat up!" Marshall Lee said

"Marshall Lee, if you're thinkin' about your dad so much, then...why don't you go see 'im?" Finn said

"He's not worth the effort," Marshall Lee said

"Not worth what effort?" Finn said

"Come on man. If I could meet my dad I would. It can't be that much an effort to get to him," Roxy said

"It's a little complicated first, I'd have to draw a circle with a happy face in the center," Marshall Lee said and Finn does just does that, "and then...uh...douse it with bug milk."

Roxy runs into Marshall Lee's kitchen and grabs the milk and throws it on the smiley face and the face quickly absorbs the milk. Marshall Lee was facing away not seeing their actions.

"*SIGH* And then you're supposed to chant something like. Maloso vobiscum et cum spiritum," Marshall Lee said

As he said that the smiley face started to glow and change colors.

"But...I-I don't really wanna see him. I'm still mad about the thing with the fries. Huh?!" Marshall Lee said as he turned around finally seeing what Finn and Roxy did.

The wall opens up like a door and reveals the world of the night-o-sphere. A tall man wearing a suit walks out of the flames.

"What the heck did you do?!" Marshall Lee yelled

"We...reunited you with your family?" Finn said

Marshall Lee's Dad spots Finn and walks over to him, "Is this kid your evil servant?"

"I'm not evil, Marshall Lee's dad. I'm super good!" Finn said

"Super good?"

Marshall Lee's Dad lets out a roar and opens his mouth starting to suck the energy out of Finn.

"What're you doing?!" Finn yelled

"Stealing your soul," Marshall Lee's Dad said

Finn started to scream as the demon continued to try and steal Finn's soul. Roxy runs over and grabs Finn pulling him away.

"Stop!" Roxy yelled

"Wha-?" Marshall Lee's Dad looks at Roxy with a confused face, "What are you doing here!" He yelled pointing at Roxy as his face contorted in anger.

Roxy looks left and right then behind her. She then looks back at Marshall Lee's Dad and points at herself, "Who me?"

"Yes, you!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled

"Do I know you?" Roxy asked

"Know me?! You-!? Is this one of your jokes!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled narrowing his eyes at Roxy.

"No?" Roxy said

Marshall Lee's Dad narrows his eyes further at Roxy before grabbing her head.

"Uh…?" Roxy said

Marshall Lee's Dad moved Roxy's head around as if he was examining her.

"Hmmmmm…." Marshall Lee's Dad said tapping Roxy's head.

"Dad!" Marshall Lee yelled pulling Roxy away, "Don't touch her!"

"Haha! Oh, Marshall Lee! You've always been like this. Whoa! Is this the family axe?" Marshall Lee's Dad said grabbing away Marshall Lee's instrument.

"Wha-? HEY!" Marshall Lee yelled as his bass was yanked out of his hand.

"Did you turn it into some kind of lute?" Marshall Lee's Dad asked examining the guitar.

"Give it back, and get out!" Marshall Lee yelled

"Okay, I'll go. I've got business to attend to, anyway. Sucking up all the souls in Oooooo…" Marshall Lee's Dad said

"WHA-Gh-NO!" Finn yelled

"Stop him!" Roxy yelled

"See you, kids, later!" Marshall Lee's Dad said leaving the house.

The Lord of Evil laughed maniacally as he flies away.

"My bass!" Marshall Lee yelled

"What are we gonna do!?" Roxy yelled panicking.

"We've unleashed evil onto Ooo ! We've gotta stop 'im, Marshall Lee!" Finn yelled

"Fine...but I'm only coming with you to get my bass back," Marshall Lee said

The group who was flying over Ooo, well Marshall Lee was flying while he held onto Finn and Roxy.

"Hey! How do I kill this guy, anyway?" Finn asked

"Finn! You can't kill my dad!" Marshall Lee said

"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

"No! You literally can't kill my dad! He's deathless!" Marshall Lee said

"That sounds super awesome," Roxy said sarcastically.

"There! Below us! A gathering of Fluffy People! May-haps they've seen your father! Marshall Lee...release the Finn-bomb!" Finn said, Marshall Lee drops Finn and Roxy whistles mimicing a bomb falling.

Marshall Lee catches Finn before he reaches the ground and Roxy makes an explosion noise. The three all walk over to the Fluffy people who looked quite scared.

"They're all freaked out!" Finn said

"It's because they're scared of him," Marshall Lee said pointing behind Finn. The three look over to see a Fluffy person he was floating and facing away from the group.

"He seems pretty nor-ooooooooooo snap!" Roxy said as the Fluffy person turned around. His eyes were blank and he was pale. He was moaning and shaking slightly as he floated around. Marshall Lee grabs him examining the Fluffy person, "Hm. My dad's been here. Come on. Let's go."

"No! We gotta help this guy. I've got some soul food that Jake packed for me," Finn said digging into his backpack. He pulls out some tupperware, "You like, uh, collard greens or country-fried steak?" Finn grabs the country fried steak and tries to feed it to the Fluffy person. The Fluffy person just continues to moan as Finn shoves the food in his face.

"I don't think that's gonna work," Roxy said

"Look. You wanna help him? Help me get my bass back," Marshall Lee said

"How will that help hi-?"

"MY DAD STOLE MY BASS GUITAR, FINN!" Marshall Lee yelled his face morphing from anger, "And when I get it back...I'm gonna break it over his neck and slam my dad back into the Nightosphere!"

"That is some serious family issues," Roxy thought

"Oh, clam! But first you gotta return the souls your dad sucked back to these sad, little husks. Right, Marshall Lee?" Finn asked

Marshall Lee let out a huff blowing a piece of hair out of his face, "Uh, sure, yeah, yeah, we'll do that."

"Don't worry Marshall Lee we'll get your bass back," Roxy said

"We're gonna need a plan," Finn said

"How does one go about stopping a demon overlord," Roxy said putting a thoughtful look on her face, "We don't even know where he's going."

"He'll probably be heading to the mountains," Marshall Lee said

Finn rubs his chin, "The mountains huh…..?" Finn snaps his fingers, "I've got an idea!"

"Red Rock Pass. If my dad wants to get to the mountains, he'll have to come through here," Marshall Lee said

"We can work together! And smash 'im with this rock! And once he's smooshed, all the souls will go back to their rightful bods," Finn said

Roxy looks down the canyon and spots something. She squints her eyes trying to get a closer look. She reaches into Finn's pack and pulls out a pair of binoculars. She focuses on the moving object and spots Marshall Lee's dad. He had a happy smile on his face as he squashed ants and sucked out their souls.

"Lord of Evil coming in," Roxy said

Finn gets behind the large rock and starts to push it. As he did so Marshall Lee flew past Roxy and Finn towards his father.

"Marshall Lee!" Roxy yelled out as Finn stopped pushing the rock.

Marshall Lee hisses and attacks his father but misses as the older demon simply ducks down out of the way.

"So, finally taking a run at your old man, huh?" Marshall Lee's Dad said

Marshall Lee gets up and charges again, but his father parries the attack with Marshall Lee's own bass axe and forces his son up against the rock wall.

"Dad…" Marshall Lee said in a frustrated tone trying to push back. He was able to break his father's grip and jumps onto his dad's shoulders.

Marshall Lee's Dad lets out a chuckle before attacking, "Karate kick!" He performed a straight front kick up, kicking Marshall Lee off his shoulders knocking the Vampire King onto the ground.

"Marshall Lee! Keep 'im right there!" Finn yelled starting to push the rock again.

"I'm coming Marshy!" Roxy yelled jumping down into the canyon.

Roxy lets out a war scream as she falls down heading straight for Marshall Lee's Dad.

Hearing her yells Marshall Lee's Dad looks up, "What?"

Roxy lands on top of Marshall Lee's Dad and the two tumble to the ground. Roxy rolls onto her feet as Marshall Lee's Dad does the same.

"Ugh! You again, seriously!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled throwing his hands up.

"Leave Marshall Lee alone and give back his guitar!" Roxy said, she summoned her hammer and jumped at Marshall Lee's Dad. The demon grabbed the hammer stopping the attack but Roxy held steady. The two were locked in a standoff each pushing at each other.

"You don't know when quit do you!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled

Marshall Lee sat up leaning on his elbows and looked at his father and Roxy. His eyes slightly wide as he stared at the two. Above the group, Finn was still trying to push the large rock over. Finn let out a war cry as he headbutted the rock over the cliff. As the rock fell Marshall Lee's Dad and Roxy didn't notice as the two were busy struggling and glaring.

As the rock got close Marshall Lee gasps and gets up, "Roxy!"

Marshall Lee cried out Roxy's name as he grabbed her in his arms moving her out of the way. The two tumble away as the rock landed. For a second it looked like Marshall Lee's Dad had been hit but the demon lord walked from around the other side of the rock unharmed. Finn looks over the side of the cliff seeing his plan hadn't worked and let out a groan as he grabbed his sore head.

Marshall Lee glared at his father and let go of Roxy staring at his father. He once again tried to go for his bass axe but his father hits him hard on the head.

"Karate chop!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled as he hit Marshall Lee's head, "You can't destroy me!"

Marshall Lee let out a hiss grabbing his head then looked at his father, "No...D-dad...I-I don't wanna destroy you...Look, just...stay out of my life!"

Marshall Lee grabbed Roxy's and he flew back up the canyon.

"You're not even alive!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled out as Marshall Lee flew away with Roxy.

Marshall Lee flew back up the cliff and landed next to Finn.

"You blew it, dude. We're supposed to be a team-a team whose sport is stop-your-dad-from-suckin'-souls...ball," Finn said

Marshall Lee let out a sigh, "I just want my dad to care about me."

Roxy looked at Marshall Lee sadly. She walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder making him look up at her.

"Marshall Lee...if your dad can't see what an awesome dude you are then that's his loss. If it means anything...I care about you," Roxy said

Marshall Lee looks a little stunned then a small smiles comes to his face.

"Thanks, Roxy," Marshall Lee said

The two sat in a comfortable silence until Marshall Lee's smile turned into a smirk.

"So you care about me huh? Guess that means you're falling for me," Marshall Lee said

Roxy rolls her eyes and pushes Marshall Lee over, "Way to ruin the moment." Although there was a small smirk on her face too.

Marshall Lee flew Finn and Roxy across Ooo looking for his father. After a while, it wasn't hard to spot the Demon. Marshall Lee's Dad was stomping across a field, he was as tall as a skyscraper as he walked around stealing more souls.

"Aw, man! He's growing huge!" Finn said, "I'm gonna take 'im down!"

"Finn, you're like an ant to him," Marshall Lee said

"Oh, yeah? Well, this ant's about to get in his pants!" Finn yelled

Marshall Lee and Roxy looked at Finn a little amused, "What?"

Finn realizing what he said starts to stammer embarrassed at his words, "You know! Because I'm going to make him uncomfortable while I release those souls!" Finn brings out his sword and charges at Marshall Lee's Dad, "RAAAAAAAAGH!" He starts to climb up Marshall Lee's Dad like he would a mountain shouting the whole time.

"Oh, Marshall Lee. Still following me?" Marshall Lee's Dad said not caring that Finn was on him.

"I'll stop following you if you give me back my guitar!" Marshall Lee yelled

"No, Marshall Lee," Marshall Lee's Dad said as flicked Finn off of him.

"NO ONE FLICKS ME IN THE BUTT WITHOUT MY CONSENT!" Finn yelled, he stabbed into Marshall Lee's Dad's head, but the Lord of Evil just smirks and his head splits open revealing a more monster like head, with tentacles around the neck area.

"Gnarly," Roxy said

Finn falls off of Marshall Lee's Dad but grabs onto one of his tentacles stopping his descent. Marshall Lee's Dad tried to shake Finn off but as he did so he revealed the souls attached to his chest, each soul sitting in a small pod like sack.

"The souls...Lumpy Space Princess! He got your soul, too?!" Finn yelled

"What? Nah. I totally saw Hot Dog Princess get sucked in here, and I wasn't invited?! I was all, "What the lump?" so I'm crashin' this party!" Lumpy Space Princess said

Roxy sighs and slaps her forehead hearing that.

"Well, I'll save you...I'LL SAVE ALL OF YOU!" Finn yelled

"Come on Marshall Lee, we gotta help Finn," Roxy said

Marshall Lee turned away from Roxy and sat on the ground crossing his arms, pouting like a little kid.

"If he's not gonna acknowledge me then I'm not gonna acknowledge him," Marshall Lee said

Roxy slaps her forehead a second time, "And they say girls are dramatic," Roxy mumbled. She summoned her hammer and shield, "Hold on I'm coming, Finn!"

Marshall Lee's Dad spotted Roxy running over and chuckled lifting his foot up, "I've always wanted to squash you!"

Roxy let out a yell and held up her shield as Marshall Lee's Dad brought his foot down. Roxy dropped her hammer holding the shield up with both hands, the shield sparkled and shined as Marshall Lee's Dad's foot landed on the girl. Marshall Lee's Dad laughed but it was cut off when he felt struggling under his foot.

"Oh come on!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled

Roxy hadn't been squashed under the massive foot, much to her's and Marshall Lee's Dad's surprise. She was hunched over holding the shield up. The shield had gotten slightly bigger being at least six feet in diameter, effectivity protecting Roxy. Roxy let out another shriek as Marshall Lee's Dad pushed his foot further on top of the girl making her fall to her knees.

Hearing the girls outcry Marshall Lee's head whipped around quickly. Roxy's shield started to crack as Marshall Lee's Dad brought his foot down for a third time. Roxy closed her eyes scared bracing herself for the worst. Suddenly arms wrapped around Roxy's waist and the girl was lifted out of the way.

"Marshall Lee…." Roxy said seeing she was Marshall Lee's arms.

"You okay?" Marshall Lee asked, concern in his voice, Roxy nodded her head and looked away, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"RAGGGHHH!"

Marshall Lee and Roxy looked up to see Finn chopping off one of Marshall Lee's Dad's tentacles, making him and Marshall Lee's guitar fall to the ground. With Roxy still in his arms Marshall Lee flashed over and caught the guitar, Roxy winced as Finn landed next to them with a heavy thud. Marshall Lee set Roxy down and waved his axe in a taunting way towards his father.

"IN YOUR FACE, DAD!" Marshall Lee yelled

"Give back that axe, Marshall Lee! You don't respect it enough!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled back.

"Well...you don't respect anything! Dad! DAD! I'm outta here!" Marshall Lee yelled as he grabbed Roxy's hand and started to walk away.

"BUT-!"

"Fine! Go! I'm too busy sucking to deal with you!" Marshall Lee's Dad said turning away.

"Wait! Marshall Lee we gotta do something," Roxy yelled digging her heels into the ground trying to pull Marshall Lee back.

Marshall Lee doesn't listen and continues to pull Roxy along with him. Roxy lets out a growl and pulls her hand out of Marshall Lee's, she runs towards Marshall Lee's Dad and points up at the demon.

"You stop right there!?" Roxy yelled

Marshall Lee's Dad turns his head looking back at Roxy.

"I don't have time for you pest!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled

"You need to make time, especially for your son!" Roxy yelled

"And what's that supposed to mean!" Marshall Lee's Dad yelled as he turned around to fully face Roxy.

Finn frantically reaches into his pack searching for something to help, "Diversion...need...diversion."

"It's exactly how its sounds!" Roxy yelled

As the two started to argue back and forth Finn found the recorder from earlier and pulled it out. He holds up the recorder and presses play and music starts to play. Marshall Lee stops walking as Roxy and Marshall Lee's Dad stop arguing. Marshall Lee looks embarrassed as he looked away his eyes looking anywhere but his father.

"Oh, my Glob, you guys! Drama bomb!" LSP said

"Marshall Lee, do you really feel this way?" Marshall Lee's Dad asked in a soft tone.

"Dad, I…" Marshall Lee started but can't seem to form the words.

"Marshall Lee...of course, I love you," Marshall Lee's Dad said

"Dad…" Marshall Lee said looking down rubbing the back of his neck embarrassed.

Roxy looks between Marshall Lee and Marshall Lee's Dad with a smile watching the heartfelt moment.

"I'm sorry I ate your fries. I didn't mean to hurt you," Marshall Lee's Dad said

"It's okay, Dad. It's...it's really okay," Marshall Lee said

"No, it's not okay. They weren't even very good. They were really cold. I love you, Marshall Lee. Don't you ever doubt that," Marshall Lee's Dad said

"I love you, too, Dad," Marshall Lee said

"Oh, Marshall Lee, I am so-"

"YALALALALALALALALALALALALA!" Finn yelled cutting Marshall Lee's Dad off. He jumped into the air stabbing into Marshall Lee's Dad's chest where the souls were being kept. Marshall Lee's Dad let out a shriek of pain as Finn dug the sword deeper into Marshall Lee's Dad's chest, releasing all the souls.

"Wait, Finn!" Roxy yelled

Finn dropped from the ground and started the summoning process again.

"MALOSO VOBISCUM ET CUM SPIRITUM!" Finn yelled

Marshall Lee's Dad let out a last scream as he was sucked back into the Nightosphere.

"I'll see you in the Nightosphere, ya sick freak. YES!" Finn said

Roxy stared mouth agape.

"Finn! How could you do that?!" Marshall Lee said

"How could I...save the day?" Finn said confused. For a third time today Roxy slapped her forehead.

"How could you embarrass me like that and then stab my dad?!" Marshall Lee said

"How could I embarrass-save you?" Finn said

Marshall Lee goes to swing his axe at Finn but Roxy grabs his arms holding him back.

"Whoa! Calm down!" Roxy said

Marshall Lee lets out a huff but quickly calms down, "I'm glad he's back in the Nightosphere. That was emotionally exhausting."

"I'm also exhausted emotionally. Or...wait. I mean, I mean physically," Finn said

"Me too. Your dad was weird," Roxy said

"Agreed," Marshall Lee said

Roxy, Marshall Lee, and Finn lay back on the ground. As they look up at the sky they see the souls flying around a few of them bumping into each other.

"I've been meaning to ask you...What's with that pocket on your shirt?" Marshall Lee asked

"Oh, Jake's in here. 'Sup, Jake?" Finn said opening his shirt pocket.

Jake simply rolls over and farts.
