Darren walked down the deserted path of what used to be the merchants place to sell and buy goods. He was to get Finn and FP free and bring them out alive, Jake made that specifically clear. Jake's job was to simply cause a commotion to give him time to free them. He checked what he had to use till he found something within his pocket, a pouch that he stole from Choose-goose. "DAMN IT, I could have just hit him with this and left, I could still-" Darren turned around to go hit Jake with the pouch till he saw a 30 story tall Jake punching and kicking away Lava golems and normal fire soldiers. "I'll deal with these guys instead."
Darren continued to walk up what he hoped was the Fire Kingdom. Finally up the steps he found a pair of fire soldiers guarding the entrance. "Halt who goes there."
"A black g-, no, nope not going to do it, just give me the boy."
"Which one?" The guard asked.
"What do you mean which one how many boys you got in there."
"We lost count."
"Just-just give me the human." Darren told.
"We can't he is to be held here till the flame shield wears off and he dies an agonizing death."
"I wouldn't care in the past but I need him alive so just hand him over I need to be somewhere." Darren told going to walk through them to have their spears block his path.
"No one can enter." The guards told.
"I don't have time for this." Darren told going to the wall of the castle. Patting the ground he sat down letting his head hit the wall. "Question got any fruit?" Darren asked the guards to have them shake their heads. "Pity." Darren spoke closing his eyes. After a while Darren's eyes opened up looking at the guards he licked his lips.
~With Finn and Flame Princess~
Finn was in a dungeon cell, his arms and legs restrained by some cuffs chained to the wall hoisting off the ground. Finn looked to his side to see his girlfriend in the same situation he was in. She looked over to him to see Finn. Finn offered her a smile to show he was alright, she did the same. "Well if it isn't the fallen King." A soldier spoke walking towards FP's cell along with 5 other soldiers.
"Are you here to free or ridicule me." FP asked with a hiss.
"Neither, were here with someone." A guard spoke in a hushed tone.
"Hello, sister." A voice spoke up, behind the guards came FP's sister. "It's a pity I have to see you behind bars, even with all the help I gave you out there."
"Wait, what?" FP questioned confused.
"When you and your, 'hero' charged the castle I had more then half of the soldiers step down hoping that would be more then enough to help you over throw the people that took over this Kingdom. But I guess I shouldn't had hope when your only hope was a man that wears a diaper and punches food." The brother spoke looking at Finn. Finn opened his mouth to explain to have a hit his face. "Silence, thanks to you even he was captured." The brother spoke pointing towards a random cell to show Cinnamon Bun in it.
"Hey." Cinnamon Bun spoke waiving his arm.
"Now, we wish we could help but there's cameras watching our every move, there are some men willing to help but there's too much surveillance to do anything, we can only pray to Glob for a miracle."
"EMERGENCY, EVERYONE BE AWARE, YANG IS WITHIN THE PREMISES. REPEAT YANG IS WITHIN THE PREMISES." A voice rang from the .
"He finally came." The brother spoke.
"YOU CALLED HIM FOR HELP." FP yelled her flames growing bigger till the chains started to glow making her weaker reverting her back to her normal form.
"We thought you did, when you came we saw him talking to, him, we believed you brought him to aid you." The brother told, Fp glaring over to Finn.
"It may have slipped my mind." Finn told laughing nervously.
"REPORT HE IS WITHIN- UGH...Rain drops keep failing on my head, tadadada, oh wait that's not raindrops that is blood, filthy delicious blood, yeah, blood keeps on failing keeps on-"
"Die creature, AAHHHAHAAH-UGH..."
"So, I'll take it he's inside the castle." Finn asked to have everyone glare at him. "Sorry, stupid question."
"Now what." A soldier asked.
"Someone, anyone down there, open the door, open the doo-" The screaming stopped replaced with the sound of the door creaking open. The sound of a footstep and a splatter of blood was heard with every step.
"I don't ask too much, something so I can settle for, I life less frightening, I don't ask too much something so I can settle for, I life less frightening." The person singing was Yang covered in lava blood with a severed head stuck to his foot the eyes gouges with his toes the back toe stuck into the soldiers foot repeating the same words over and over again.
"Sir that was one of our men from the inside." A soldier told looking at the head.
"I know." FP"S brother spoke preparing his sword. "What's your business." The brother demanded, Yang lifted his finger everyone looking to see he was pointing towards Finn. "What do you want with *Splash *" While they were distracted, Yang had ripped through one of their soldiers neck's with his teeth.
"ALEX." A soldier yelled swinging his sword at Yang's head missing. Yang swiped his claws at the soldiers head breaking through the helmet and skin like tissue paper.
"Hold your ground." The brother yelled to have Yang advance towards them.
Finn yanked at his restraints gripping at the chains he pulled with all his might, the wall starting to give in a little. Finn stopped once an object hit his chest looking down to see a severed head with a smashed in helmet. Yang was finished with the soldiers, FP's brother the only one standing, his breathing heavy, his arm looking injured, small amounts of blood were at his feet. Yang walked towards him dropping a dead soldier to the ground. Grabbing him by the armor with his tail he threw him away. FP's brother hitting a rack of weapons the weapons falling on top of him keeping him pinned to the ground.
FP's fire rose only to be subdued by the restraints. Yang walked towards Finn's cell to just continue walking to FP's. Lifting a finger grinding it against the hinges having small sparks and the the sound of metal scraping to be heard. The cell door fell to the floor with a thud. FP remained calm staring down her opponent while he walked forward. "Hey, HEY, It's me you want, YANG." Finn screamed finally able to have one of the chains come loose of the wall. Yang's tail trailed across FP's face flicking a little causing her to bleed from the small wounds, FP showing no pain, not flinching or hissing. Yang preparing his claws ready to rip her apart stopping when an arrow hit his head. Reaching for it to examine the weapon to have another one hit him. Looking to the side to see FP's brother with a bow and some arrows ready to be used.
Yang ignoring FP, placing his attention on the soldier. "Get back here coward, get back here." FP screeched, Yang continuing to walk towards the soldier. Grabbing a nearby sword off the ground swinging to Yang's head to have the weapon break in two. Yang grabbed his arm twisting it breaking his wrist. Using his good arm the soldier delivered a punch to have his armor dented by Yang's skin. Pinning him to the ground Yang hoisted him by the neck opening his mouth his jaw unhinged placing the soldier's head inside. The soldier continuing to fight hitting Yang while Yang closed his mouth his teeth penetrating the armor already beginning to damage his skin, blood coming from the wounds were licked up by Yang's tongue. "Brother." FP yelled causing Yang to stop his eyes narrowing down gently placing the soldier out of his mouth. The soldier breathing heavily while Yang just held him there, which ended when he smashed the brother's head against the floor.
Finn continued to pull at the other restraints only needing his arm to be free. Yang walked back towards the two. "You want them, you have to kill me first." A voice spoke, turning around Yang looked towards Cinnamon Bun locked in a cell. Yang starred for a while, his mouth hanging wide open, running towards the cell ripping the hinges off the cell. "You can beat me, but I shall-ahhhh, ahhhhh." Cinnamon Bun screamed as Yang began to eat his face.
"NOOO." FP yelled in horror watching as her protector's face was eaten alive the room filled with gnawing and anguish yelling. Finn's mouth was agape not able to look away, his movements stopped as his eyes were glued to the carnage a few cells away.
"Choke on it, chouju inon itt." Cinnamon bun gurgled having sugary blood gurgle within his throat.
~With Jake~
Jake continued to play decoy, keeping all the soldiers distracted, trying his best to knockout as many lava golems as possible, and not trying to squish any of the soldiers. "What's taking him so long." Jake muttered to himself hitting a lava golem with a house continuing to use the house to smash them with it.
~Dungeon~
Darren layed in the ground muttering in his sleep. Opening his eyes trying to get up from his sleep. Once on his feet he was tackled to the ground. A fist connected to his face the person kept him pinned as the person continued to deliver a furry of punches to his face. Grabbing his head the person smashed his head to the ground. Trying his best Darren caught a view of his attacker, Flame Princess a trail of tears running down her face. Even with the toughened skin, Darren felt every blow, his body twitching from every impact trying to move his tail he coiled it around her leg pulling her off him. Darren got up to be pinned to the wall before he could move his hands were tied to his back then shackled. Looking up he saw Finn, he opened his mouth to say something to be punched in the throat. Wheezing out he fell to the ground from lack of air then coughed out what seemed to be a medal. Looking closer he was covered in what seemed to be honey or some weird texture. Then he saw what was really on him, Cinnamon's blood, Cinnamon was in the corner of the cell, wheezing half his body eaten and him somehow still alive, barely.
"Tie him down." Finn ordered some guards coming in to place more restraints on him. "Bring him with us and have people take care of Cinnamon Bun and FP's brother." Finn ordered the guards obeying, but was stopped by one soldier to hand him his sword. Darren was hoisted from his arms some extra guards checked on Cinnamon's condition. Finn walked with a sobbing FP by his side. Walking up the steps to see a trail of blood on the steps. Once outside to see bodies scattered everywhere along with their body parts. After much walking Finn and FP were on a balcony looking out to where the battle has begun with the soldier's obeying FP and the others that obeyed the new rulers.
"Now." Fp spoke her voice back to normal. "Where are your masters." FP ordered, Darren kept his mouth shut. "TALK." FP yelled punching his cheek. Daren spit out a clump of blood letting the floor sizzle and evaporate it away.
"I came on my own terms and with that I say, YIN." Darren yelled to have him turn to Yin his wings ready to fly away till they burst into flames. "FUCK, AHHHH FUCKKKL, YANG, YANGGGG." Darren yelled turning himself to Yang, his body falling to the ground breathing heavily he groaned not realizing Yin wasn't fire proof. He layed there while everyone just starred at him.
"FP he's not going anywhere, let's help your soldier's down there." Finn whispered. FP looked towards Yang, his condition wouldn't let him move let alone escape.
"Strap him down in the dungeon. I'll deal with him later." FP ordered.
"Oh goody." Darren heaved then got a sharp kick to the stomach.
"Let's go." FP told grabbing Finn by the arm flying them to the ground next to Jake.
"Finn buddy, you're okay." Jake said shrinking down to size hugging his brother.
"Hey, Jake, how have you been doing." Finn asked blocking a sword attack.
"Fine, now let's beat these guys." Jake yelled growing his hands to size.
Up on the balcony Darren looked down to the ground while he gagged out small portions of clothing and metal pieces. While two dead guards layed on the ground behind him. Looking down to see soldiers fighting each other some smashing the others skulls to the ground, some stabbed to the side placing them unable to fight. His attention caught when he saw a familiar blue figure running, Darren looked around to find a telescope on one of the soldiiers.
Finn ran trying to catch up to some soldiers that decided to make a run for it seeing as they were winning the fight. "Whoa!" Finn yelled sliding past a sword about to cut his head off. Getting to his feet to see who would try to kill him.
"Nice reflexessss, hero." A hissing voice spoke.
"Wait, I know that voice." Finn yelled getting closer to see the familiar person he saw when first coming to the Fire Kingdom. "Furnius."
"Nice of you to remember, and ssso nice to ssssee the persssson that throw me and my brother in the dungeonsss." Furnius hissed.
"Dude stop hissing it's annoying." Finn told. "Also are you and your brother the one's that started all this."
"Yesss, but I could take all the credit, right, uncle." Furnius spoke looking behind Finn. Finn turned around to see armor materialize together to show the ex-Flame King.
"Backhand." Flame King spoke smacking Finn on the face the impact knocking Finn off his feet hitting him to a wall.
"You, you're working together?" Finn asked his feet wobbling trying to get up.
"Yes, odd ain't it, but still he did a little deal, they hep me, I give them half my kingdom, better then nothing, right-ugh." Flame King grunted.
"Right about that, uncle, there'sss been a change of plansss." Furnius hissed driving his sword deeper through Flame King's chest, his flames dimming down his armor shaking beginning to fall. With a quick jerk Furnius broke through Flame King's armor his body falling to the ground. "I feel I dessserve all of the Kingdom."
"You." Finn whispered.
"Hmm?"
"You'll pay for that." Finn yelled swinging his sword at Furnius. Furnius blocked the sword with ease, moving his sword dragging against Finn's letting sparks fly the sparks blocking Finn's view unable to see the dagger coming slicing through his bare flesh of his chest. Finn backed away holding his chest while blood oozed out.
"I had time to get better, what about you, hero." Furnius spoke circling around Finn. Zig zagging catching Finn off guard barely blocking the sword, both swords colliding against each other. From Darren's view point, Finn was losing.
"Gotta move this along." Darren spoke checking his body for what he was looking for the but was different had a black coating, the arrows twisted with spikes on the sides to cut through flesh. Must have been changed since it was on him when he changed to Yang. Laying down Darren aimed the towards his target aiming it carefully waiting for the best chance to shoot.
Finn was kicked to the ground, his body covered with cuts and scratches from fighting. Before getting up Furnius stepped on his hand that was holding his sword. "I heard this sssword is what keeps you from getting burned, what would happen if I cut it off?" Furnius questioned raising his sword, Finn looked around looking at a broken spear head on the ground. Furnius brought down his sword the sound of blood splattering was heard. "Huh?" Furnius questioned to see that he hasn't hit the arm yet, looking down to see blood but not his, a few inches away from his stomach was Finn's hand shaking a little then dropping the spearhead he grabbed, Finn containing his scream from an arrow impacting his hand, the arrow going straight through the hand getting stuck halfway. "Thank you, who ever did that." Furnius yelled.
"Fuck, wrong guy. Damn it Finn hold still." Darren spoke reloading the crossbow. "What I'd do for a scope right now."
"Now, where were we." Furnius asked stepping on Finn's other hand causing the arrow to go deeper keeping Finn on the ground. Finn saw an opening raising his foot he kicked Furniu off him. Pulling on his injured hand he got the arrow off the ground preparing to launch on Furnius to feel a stinging pain on his thigh letting out a yell he fell to the ground. "Thank you again." Furnius yelled to no one.
"Goddamn it Finn, stay down." Darren yelled looking to see the last arrow he had on him grabbing the telescope to use as a scope he prepared the arrow aiming it towards Furnius head.
Finn looked up using the stuck arrow to block Furnius's attack causing more injury to Finn. Grabbing it Finn pulled the arrow out along with the one stuck to his thigh. The two went back to locking swords. Furnius having the upper hand for being at full health and preparing for this fight. Finn losing for him losing balance once in a while and his vision slip away. Furnius went for a straight attack for Finn's chest it would have connected if it weren't for him slipping on metal rod. To his advantage Finn disarmed Furnius. Jumping back Furnius stood there looking at his sword in the ground in front of Finn. Furnius ran towards it, Finn swinged his sword, Furnius ducking right in time from the attack and the arrow that was going to impale his head instead hitting Finn in the stomach. "I owe you my life." Furnius screamed to the air. Darren had his head hanging down from missing his target three times.
"Damn you, Finn, damn you."
Finn layed in the ground applying pressure to his wound. Furnius walked towards him seeing him unable to do much. "You fought...uh...never mind you hardly put up a fight."
"I would have if I haven't been shot three times." Finn argued trying to raise his sword to be stomped down by Furnius.
"Excusesss, excu-what?"
"You did say you owed me your life." Looking around Furnius saw Yang, his hand penetrating deep inside his back. "Spread and conquer." Yang spoke, Furnius's body stiffened and twitched dropping his sword his back ached his face full of pain looking at the sky.
"I jussst wanted what wasss wrightfully mine." Furnius gasped his face showing black lines spreading through his veins.
"Life's not fair, just cruel." Darren spoke. "Obliterate." With that Furnius's body combusted his bottom half of his body remained dropping dead to the ground. "well that sucked." Darren spoke picking up the sword. "Hey, Finn, oh shit." Getting closer to see him with his eyes closed.
"Finn, Finn where, YOU, where's-" Jake stopped seeing Finn in the ground an arrow in his chest with battle wounds all over his body. "DARREN I'M GOING TO-" Jake stopped for being hit with the pouch he stole from Choose Goose. Jake wobbled for a bit then fell to the ground unconscious. Darren let out a breath of relief lowering the crossbow he used to shoot the pouch, made his way towards Finn till he heard a gasp.
"Great who else do I have to...fuck me." Darren spoke looking to see Flame Princess, her cousin, Torcho, knocked out on her back. Looking at the scene to see Finn with an arrow in his chest and beaten up, Jake knocked out, her second cousin half blown to bits, and her father laying down on the ground with a giant wound on his armor. Then there was Yang with a crossbow and her cousin's personal blade in hand. "I know this looks bad but-"
"I'LL KILL YOU." Flame Princess screamed letting herself become bigger.
