Huntress's View
I couldn't help but be filled with joy at seeing my dad walk out of the pink portal with Finn and Jake. And after explaining that the golem never killed him but sealed him in a gem. I just wanted to be with Finn even more. He even went so far to help my dad's axe talk to him. Marceline's parents also thanked Finn for handing Ash over to them. From how they had beaten him they said they still have plains for him. I don't think anyone will see Ash again. But Finn he's become a whole different kind of man. His gentle features just shine with kindness but at the same time he could instantly take charge to protect his own.
It's been a slow month for Finn and his adventuring habit. Marceline and the rest of us have decided to take a gentler approach to getting to Finn. That damn curse isn't making things easier for any of us. Marceline even used her shape shifting powers to exaggerate some of her features. Giving her self more hips and slightly larger breasts. She hoped Finn would watch, as her hips swing from one side to the other. She even expected him to ogle over her large mounds. But even that did nothing even as she walked or sat right next to him inches apart. Finn just kept on playing the piano in his music floor. Flame princess and me got Finn to show us the orb in his chest. It was really soft as we poke the light green ball. Finn giggled trying to get us to stop saying it tickled. Even though he was close to six feet plus we still managed to keep him pinned as we poke his chest even more.
Hawk his little spirit snickered while Calamity tried to get on the action. Finn rolled free and pinned me on my back. Looking up from where I was I could see his rippling gentle blue eyes. I felt so safe as he looked down into my eyes his sweet childish smirk plastered on his face. As I touched his face I aimed to ease his lips to mine. My heart was floating in the sky until Jake came into the room and ruined the moment. Jake, "Finn come on Jermaine wants us to take a job. Don't forget your badge this time". Pushing up quickly he grabbed his blue cloak and asked Calamity to accompany him. Telling Hawk to stay with us as he ran off. "Damn I was close to getting a kiss too". Hawk, "Relax Finn is laughing it's the early steps to breaking the curse. Things like this take time, you don't want to rush things now do you"? Shaking our heads no we chose to sit and listen to Marceline play a song while Finn was out.

"So Jake what's the job? Or does Jermaine just want me to show up to inspire the new recruits again". Jake shook his head saying, "Nah he wants us to do a job with the Huntsmen. He said these odd thieves take things but they moves fast. They been spotted in the Junk Cavern's, so we'll met one of the Squads at the station then the Huntsmen at the entrance to the Cavern's". Calamity had turned into her bear form to carry us. I wanted to take my bike or ride on Jakes back but she wanted to walk us instead. "Calamity why didn't you let me take my bike again? Or better yet why couldn't I just teleport us to the station"? Calamity huffed saying, "Its is loud and I dislike traveling at such speeds. You and Hawk may like it but when I'm around. And it's not an emergency we walk to where we need to go".
Choosing not to argue with her I sat back and relaxed as the Enforcers of OOO station slowly came into view. Inside the first floor was nothing but loud holo-calls reporting or asking for updates. Making our way to the back we climbed to the next level of the station to find the officers talking to criminals. Or checking them in to be transported to a specific prison, making it to a side room we find one of the Squads. The Squads were eight different unites of wizards, warriors, and elementals that went way beyond basic training. These guys unlike normal officers were allowed to kill if necessary. While other officers had to wait until they were caused bloody harm to do harm in return.
Squad five was tailored to be fast and crushing when in came to direct fights. The Squads leader was a former farmer called Pete. Pete, "Squads already you guy's we got new info. too. These thieves call themselves the Parkour elites. They've been using the rooftops to escape but even cornered they use various acrobatics to get away. Finn we may be fast but these thieves are on a whole different level. Take a look at the latest holo-recording of their bank heist". Watching the group scatter after the alarm sounded and them easily scale the walls and obstacles that surrounded the area.
Now outside and head to met the Huntsmen I said, "The stunts they're doing is advanced I can only wonder how they got so good. Their ages differ dramatically so I doubt any of them are the leader. They must be stealing for some one else. If we catch one I could find out who they're working for". Nodding at my idea we hurried the Squad was eager to catch these fools. At the opening to the Caverns we saw the Huntsmen. Exchanging greetings and introductions we went down the path into the Junk Caverns. The city of Junk held various goblins, small humanoid beings, and the Dogfaces.
The Dogfaces had the heads of an old race of dogs Jake said they were called golden retrievers. But their matted hair often covered their eyes, paw like hands, and their long dripping tongues. They were very friendly to every one they just really hated thieves. And these thieves were from their own homes. The guards tried to force the criminals to come forward but they couldn't do anything to make them come out of hiding. So we were called into see what we could do.
But just as we got into the main streets of the Junk based city a whistle went off. Turning we soon saw guards looking up running towards us. Looking at the roofs we saw various people jumping all over the place some even vanished on the roofs. "Jake take the Squad and cover the insides of some of these buildings. Huntsmen with me we're going after the ones in the front". Extending my wings I lifted the Huntsmen and myself high in the air to see three still running along the roofs. Dropping the Huntsmen I said, "I'll try to make them circle to the left. Cut them off with a trap".
Running to another roof he started to set the trap I flapped my wings to push ahead of the thieves. The thieves caught sight of me and turned just the way I wanted. Turning I keep sight of them two dropped into a chimney but the last kept going along the roofs. They didn't notice the Huntsmen's snare waiting for them until they were hanging upside down. Before the thief could get free I using some Soul Tap to put them to sleep. Meeting back up with Jake and the Squad back at the city square. The Huntsmen held the thief under his arm happy at our success. The Huntsmen as he said was once more his old muscular self.
He wasn't as muscular as some of the Marauders and workout nuts. But he had some pretty big muscles even when he flexed you could see some of his veins peak out from under his skin. "Jake any luck"? Jake, "Nah we cornered two but they got away to fast for me to lasso". "Pete we got one we're going to need an integration room. I don't want the others trying to bust this one out while I'm in their mind". With that I teleported everyone back to the station even as Calamity protest. Some of the Squad was startled but it was ok after I explained. With the thief cuffed to a chair in an integration room I went into their mind. But after hearing the thief's voice I pulled the hood off her head. It was Penny she was under the control of someone.
Releasing her from the magic she woke up to see me looking at her. Jake and everyone else didn't know what was going on until I said, "Penny and the others have been under someone's control. Who ever it is they only picked the fastest thieves they can come across. Penny even though I am happy and upset your still at your old habits you need to tell us. Who is the person that's been controlling you and what are they after"? Penny, "Finn its good to see you but I have no idea. The person that was controlling my crew and me came out of nowhere. He said that he needed our help to find and old artifact called the Bow of something. I can't remember everything its just a haze but I do remember he had someone join us.
"I don't know who she is but she didn't seem to be under the control of the creep. Finn please my crew and me only steal in the city of Thieves. Please I don't want to go to jail for stuff we didn't do on purpose". "No problem we have rules for these kind of situations right Pete". Pete then nodded saying, "Right don't worry girly we won't arrest you but you have to do community service to pay back the damage you and your crew caused". Penny agreed and we went back to the Cavern's. She was going to be our informant seeing as she still remembers most of where the Elites plans to hit.
It took a while but they finally made their move. With Jake, me, and Penny flying overhead hidden by my cloaking powers. The Squad and the Huntsmen gave chase along the roofs and streets. Penny, "Their she's the Dogface that going to the right". "Jake jump off with Penny and trick her into a corner". Jumping from my back the chased the medium height Dog girl. As she stopped at a ledge she them ran along a wire connecting two buildings. Jake turned himself into a spring and landed on the other side. But the girl was persistent she jumped trying to land in a pile of trash. Going into a dive I caught her and knocked her out. The Huntsmen and the Squad caught another two but the majority got away. They had tried to steal a map of some underground chambers in the Badlands.
Now back at the station the girl was refusing to cooperate with anyone. Jermaine came out of the room pissed, "Finn get into her mind and find out what she knows. I want the rest of these thieves caught and released before the end of the week". As I walked in with the Huntsmen the Dog girl smiled saying, "Well if it isn't the fucking face and wood stink. What the little dog Captain tired of playing tough guy? He had to get the tall fools to do his job". "Man you got a dirty mouth for a thirteen year old". Dog girl, "Not everyone gets to have a safe fun like pretty boy". "You have no idea what my life has been like. And in a word yes I going to get all the answers we need. And you won't have to say a word". She looked at me confused until our minds collided like most she put up little defenses.
Finding the right memory a deep voice gave her and Penny's crew instruction to find different maps. In all the voice asked for ten maps each different from on another. From what I got the last one was the one we now had in the evidence vault. The voice told the girl not to fail or the consequences would be fitting to any who failed him. Ending the connection I turned to leave with Huntsmen in toe. But the girl wasn't done she said, "I would stay out of this human. My lord doesn't wish to conflict with anyone but her. So stay out of this because no one goes against the Shredder"! With that something in the mouth popped and she began to cough violently. Pushing the table out of the way I tried to help but before my powers could touch her she was dead.
An hour later the doctors of the station told us she had a suicide pill under her tongue. Jermaine, "What is going on who could possible scare her to take her own life"? "Someone with a vendetta. She said the one she's been loyal to is after a woman. But who the hell is this Shredder"? Settling that the main task was at an end Jermaine thanked us for the help. But I couldn't help but wonder who the person called the Shredder is.

Elsewhere off the shores of OOO a lone ship keep watch in the distance. A lean cloaked warrior entered the ships main cabin. Bowing the man said, "Lord Shredder the girl has died in the custody of the Enforcers and they have the map piece. What should we do"? The heavily armored lord stood in the dim light saying, "You will get the piece back. The bloodsuckers have stay hidden on their Isle for too long. And Lupro will die in shame by my hands. For none escapes the BLADES OF THE SHREDDER"!

It was a nice day Finn didn't have any adventures to go on and we all were having a nice walk through the forest. We had to lock Jake in a closet so he wouldn't get in the way. Huntress and Flame walked slowly behind Marceline and myself. We stood shoulder to shoulder with Finn so to speck. The forests of the Jungle kingdom were really expansive. But Finn jumped and climbed around the place like he it was nothing new to him. Right now we had to keep Finn's eyes glued on us we had to break this curse or Finn would never understand how we really feel. As Finn landed next to me I sprayed a little candy perfume on me and got even closer to him. "Finn can we find a pond to sit at my feet are starting to hurt". Smiling gently he said, "Sure Pebbles are you all ok with that"? They agreed and Finn stopped in his tracks. Thanks to his new power it was now easier for him to find things with his mind. But we were all glad when he left Calamity and Hawk to play with Bmo.
Turning to the left slightly he started to walk a little more. Marceline looked at him saying, "Hey Finn hold out your arms for me". Doing as she asked Finn extended his arms and Marceline then laid in his arms bridal style. All of our faces ready shock because we didn't expect that. But it was Marceline she was always the bold one out of all of us. Finn, "Marcy are you tired? Because if you are I don't get how you can get tired when you can float everywhere". Looking a little ticked at his question Marceline pinched his cheek saying, "Because it's a hero's job to help a lady when they ask. And I asked you so now keep walking".
Shrugging his shoulders Finn kept walking and I smiled. Finn still held us so close to his heart. Finding the pond Finn placed down Marceline and we all soaked our feet. Except Flame Finn warmed up some smooth rocks in a hole and she then place her feet inside. Flame touching Finn's shoulder lightly saying, "Thanks Finn your so sweet". Nodding his head Finn walked to the water. Taking off his cloak and boots he slowly concentrated until his feet was covered in the green energy of his soul, as he would explain. Then he started to slowly walk on top of the water. It was amazing as he walked further he place a lone hand on the water and slowly pulled several orbs of water into the air. Saying the language of his soul the orbs slowly transformed into us. Pulling a harmonica from his pocket Finn played a light tune.
Each of our copies started to dance in the most elegant ways possible. But just watching I couldn't help but swoon over what I saw. Finn really did still have some kind of feeling for us. As the dance continued Finn stopped in the middle of a note and teleported to back to us. Finn, "Girls I have to go Calamity just signaled me. She say's something's happened at Enforcer HQ". Putting back on his gear we left in a white blur, only to arrive at the station front door. Walking inside we found several officers running around a few were on stretchers. Jermaine came up to Finn telling him to follow.
Jermaine. "Finn who ever broke in took the Badland's map. A few of the night guards got injured. All they said was the shadows them selves attacked them. The vault for the evidence lockers was opened as well. But we found this note scratched into the wall". Looking at the wall scratched into the metal vaults large door read 'The fang will die by the blades of the SHREDDER'. Finn, "This Shredder guy just made the wrong choice".
Jester; Special thanks to everyone that now is following us or has us on their favorite list. Hope you all like this update and well peace off.
Smiles; And WE'LL HUG YOU ALL LATER!
