Wolf's View
Exhaling a mouthful of smoke looking from the chopping seawater to Finn sitting close to the shore. "We've been sitting here for two hours Finn what are we doing?" Finn "I'm meditating your suppose to be watching me." "I know we're suppose to be all angelic and what now. But seriously haven't you feel different since we got back?" Finn floats off the rock he's on "Yes I have. The angelic mana that flowed through us back in the afterlife is now limited. While in the afterlife we had unlimited access once we got our wings. While here we have to wait think of it like Soul energy. You can only use as much as your body can contain. But seeing as our angelic mana and what Soul energy we natural had within us combined with one another. This new extension of our powers is unique. It's a lot more unrefined and unstable to control." I chuckle "And what now you can move an island with only wasting half you energy?" Finn "Actually one third of my energy but that's besides the point. From the reports the Unics have been smuggling shipments into UOK. But I can't wrap my head around how. The water prince's and their navies should have the waters locked down. And yes more Unic attacks happening in various places within the territories and along the coasts of the Highlands. The question just remains how." Feeling my phone vibrate I side to see a text from the merc's. "Scout says they have the frog and his crew. Lets go see what they have to say... what's wrong." In a flash Finn grabs my arm and we teleport. Looking around I see Jermaine with over sixty of his Enforcers walking around a battle riddled settlement.
Finn rushes past Jermaine and I see where he's going. On a stretcher is Bonnie wearing an orange body fitting tech suite. Next to her are several Grass Kin. Finn "What happened?" Grass kin "The Unics sir they wanted to kill the High guards leader. They didn't expect us but they seemed to take it as a challenge and tried to kill her majesty... Sir they've wounded Flame king Dane and sadly Lady Liliana was slain." Finn's body starts to spark with red energy seeps from his his body. Finn's shoulders starts to tremble and shake. Finn bellows a roar like nothing I've heard from him before his teeth all sharpened a black with a white glow to them each. Finn turns to the Unics prisoners his eyes burning from the inside as red vapor wisps from the sides. Before Finn could get any closer Jermaine blocked his pain shaking his head. Finn turns back to the Grass kin his mouth baring two rows of sharp teeth. Finn "I want every Grass kin armed every patrol adding two more member. Orders are as followed no more monitoring any Unics seen is to be killed on sight!" Jermaine tugs at Finn's arm "Finn I know you're angry but please stay stable. We'll get them. Take queen Bonnie to the Candy hospital I want three patrols with her. Finn should I..." Finn "NO, no I'll tell I'll talk to Marceline... Grass kin I want a full report of what happened when you return. Don't tell Marceline until she and my entire family are at the Tree Fort. Wolf lets go." Finn takes my arm and once more we teleport. Getting to the Merc's lair well it's basically the Old Gods garage. Thor spins in surprise from the engine block his working on. Thor "Finn Wolf good to... Finn are you ok?" "No Thor Unics attacked again... they almost got Bonnie. They killed Marceline's mother..." Finn began to shake his fist clenched as he tried to keep calm.
Thor "What can I do?" Finn "I need you and the other Old gods to go see Moe and Chris in the Ice region. Tell them that project Stars has been approved." Thor nods and quickly runs out. Not soon after we hear his bike roar to life and race off down the street. Finn turns down a hall and we follow a few steps into the basement. Finn taps a wall and then slides his hand along the surface. The wall fades showing a steel door. Punching in a code into the handle the door opens and we walk in. Inside we find the merc's all of them smiling. Which soon is replaced on seeing Finn. Spy walks forward her red outfit and normally cool demeanor showing that she is nervous. Spy in her old but broken French accent "Sir are you alright?" Finn shakes his head "We're are these frogs?" Engineer motions to the door with his large yellow glove handed. Engineer in his southern Colony accent "Ah boss why are you all glowy?" Finn "The Unics have crossed a line that they will now regret..." The hiss in Finn's voice is made even scarier as two large spinned and jagged tooth serpents sprung from his back. Finn pushed his way into the room and slammed the door behind him. I walk over and place my cross down wedging the door. Taking out a new smoke I flip my lighter and lite it. Milly got me this one for our anniversary last week. It's teal finish and bronze body makes it really stick out against my black suite. Scout turns and spits some soda as she hears the screams coming from behind me. Exhaling I look over their face "The Unics killed one of Finn's wives mothers, injured another wife's father, and almost kidnapped another of his wife's she's unconscious from her injuries. He's not taking it well... and he needs to take it out one someone."
After ten minutes I lift my cross and Finn's walks out his eyes calmer but still hissing with red energy. Finn "A High guard hired them to steal from the vault while I fought the Shifter. No doubt the person was either being control or forced." "It may have been him in the outfit to throw us off too." Finn "Merc's dig up as much as you can about the Unics from the High lands and the Seeker. I want every rumor, every crumb, and every face given a look over." Soldier "Sir what if the Elves don't talk to uh us? They don't like to talk to humans that much." Finn "Tell them you're following orders from me and if needed show them the seals I gave you." The merc's nod and Finn teleports us again this time to the Tree Fort. Getting inside we see the worried looks on everyone except Bonnie's mother and father. No doubt both with her right not. Finn takes as breathe and looks to them as I rest against the wall. What happens next is just what I know Finn expects.
Marceline's View
Screaming that's all I can do. I can tell Finn and I aren't home right now. But all I feel is rage and hatred. They... THEY KILLED MY MOM! Thrashing back and forth in any form smashing anything that's in my way. I don't care I just want to try and hold off how sad I feel. How much I want my mommy back... Why did they world have to take her from me...
Third person's View
Finn did what he thought was right. Before Marceline could full explode he teleported her into his own version of the masters Shadow room. It doesn't have the long days affect. But no matter what you smash it'll be brand new in a few days. As Marceline released her fury on the room he stood and watched. Finn felt her pain every emotion that pulsed through her mind shoot back into his own mind. Finn turns to Hawk "Make sure everyone is ok. If they ask I'm keeping Marceline in the Looping room." Hawk went off his orb form more red and humming with wrath residue. Calamity "Shouldn't we calm her now?" Finn shook his head and sat on the remains of a bolder. Marceline had changed from her giant black tendril monster form to her giant bat form. To then morph into a seven-foot tall quad horned demon to continue her rampage. All the while her ruby eyes flowed with hot tears. All the while too Finn wanted to embrace her seeing his wife in pain. It's not something he hoped to see on returning to them after so many years. Soon Marceline slowed and ever so slowly she dropped to her knees. Pounding her first into the dirt Marceline grunted with sorrow, as she couldn't form words. Finn walks over taking off his jacket. Stabbing his swords into the ground Finn hung his jacket on them and placed his boot besides them. Walking over Finn didn't say a word he waited for her. Marceline raised her head and look at her husband squatting next to her. Growling Marceline threw a punch sending her husband sliding a few feet from her. Calamity about to voice her opinion was stopped by Finn's thoughts. Finn 'No let it be I won't stop her. Just let her burn it out and we can get her level headed. Remember we both need this Calamity.'
Marceline pins her husband with her knees and begins a new. Smashing her knuckles into her husband's face. Her eyes burning with anger and sadness all the things Finn's feeling. But unlike her he's holding it in containing it as best he can. He just used several frogs as his punching bag. It was only far karma allowed someone to return the actions onto him. Finn spat a little blood from the corner of his lip and Marceline finally stopped. Sitting on her husband the queen of vampires sobbed into her hands. Finn freeing his hands pulled her to lie on his chest. Marceline buried her face into his blue sleeveless tee. After a while she snarls and sinks her fangs into his neck. As the tears ran from her eyes Marceline couldn't drink her husbands blood. All she wanted to do was feel the warmth of his blood on her tongue. After a few hiccups Marceline pulled away only to once again sank her fangs into the opposite side of his neck. But to Finn's shock she wasn't after his blood Marceline was using her demon power to suck away at his energy. Finn pulled as he might Marceline was latched on claws buried into his back. Finn calling Calamity mentally to help him. In her polar bear form she aided getting her partners wife off of him. Marceline now sitting on her knees a few inches away does even make a sound. All she's doing is looking down. Marceline "It's not far you have so much power and you can't stop these asshole from ripping out family apart! I thought you loved us!" Finn shook his head and once again sat besides his wife. Marceline now hugging her knees refused to look at her husband. Finn "I want to destroy them Marcy... But I have no idea where they're stationed. The more I look the more you all get hurt. This bastard is playing from behind everyone's back. And the more I tried to push him away the more he knows I'll break and loss everything I am."
Marceline "Finn if you're the hero tell me the truth what will really happen?" Finn "We'll lose a lot before we gain anything. And once we gain we'll have to sacrifice those close to us to win. I'm trying not to lose those I love. But I'm still losing, as is the world. The Republic's is losing itself to try and keep civil unrest from escalating. Colony is worried that the Unics will turn their attention on them once they're done with the Highlands and us. And then they're the High guards, Seekers, and the Meta beings that are popping up all over. Some are working for the Seekers, others are doing Glob knows what. Our world has changed since I died Marcy... for all the good my death caused. It caused chaos to roam free while I was gone. Only now they have a figure to rally behind and lead their destruction." Marceline "Watch the kids Finn I'm going to kill some Unics." Finn stands as Marceline begins her march to the door. Finn grabs his wife's wrist and pulling's her into his embrace. Finn "Marcy I won't let the kids lose you... let them lose me but not their mother." Marcy turns in the hold slapping Finn. Marceline "I hate it when you try to be our shield. We suffered while you where gone. We needed your smile to keep us going and you weren't there." As a few more tears slide down Marceline's face Finn leans in and kisses her even so gentle. Marceline snarls in her throat and digs her pointed nails into his scalp and neck. Finn simply continues to kiss his wife until Finn felt a dart hit his neck. Finn turns to see his wife Isabella and her father walking to them.
Finn turns to Calamity seeing she too has a dart sticking from her fur. Isabella "Finn don't be mad right now the kids need you. Just as much as we needed you... You can relate to them far better then we ever could. When they started to read from Enchiridion, when they watched the shows, or comics you wrote. The saw the world through your eyes and they wanted nothing more then to experience even a fraction you did. Hell they wanted to find a different path you didn't take. They wanted you to be here to show them the way. But you weren't here and all we could do was tell them what you might have done. All we had to offer the kids where strong teaching of how to be a royal or how to learn things proper and by the rules. The kids needed your free and gentle nature to balance our ways. But it drove them to different things taking up habits from us that we wish we didn't have to see get past to them. Finn you're the hero and we're the princesses of your old story right? But that story ended once we had to put you to rest. Now this is the new story where you came back and are trying to put the pieces of our house back together. We failed them by only telling them what you did. And not show them how you lived your life. This shifter and his asshole friends want to tear us apart. But he doesn't realize your already finding a way to bring us together.
"But what he's done isn't the end and what we will do isn't for anyone else but us Finn. We want payback so just stay home and wait for us to return. And this time we'll watch as you get to be the father we know you can be." With a pat to the Finn's cheek Isabelle casts a spell and Finn's starts to float. Finn "Don't... They'll hurt you please..." Isabella kisses Finn softly "No they'll try but this time they won't get away with it Finn. We're taking a few groups of Grass kin and storming a stronghold my father found. We'll be back the moment we win. The drug is really strong so try not to fight it too much ok before you ask it's only a paralyzing agent nothing to strong. And no magic Finn its main power is magic so the more you try to force it out. The longer it'll stay in you. Don't worry Eleanor and your parents took the kids to Colony to be safe. Lady and the Grass kin will stay and watch over you and Bonnie. Jake is with Jermaine keeping an eye on all the routes from the Badlands. Please Finn this time let us protect you." Franko "Let's get a move on you two from what I scouted it won't be long before those asshole try and pack up. They're failure will prompt them to work faster." The two wives nod and spell flies Finn to their bedroom. Lying their on the bed is Bonnie besides her is Lady and Bonnie's parents. Francine wipes her tear filled eye "Marceline find them and make them regret hurting out angel. And taking your dear mother from us." Marceline nods giving Bonnie a kiss to the cheek as well as a kiss to Finn's lips. Before she races off to join Isabella and her father. Finn looks to Francine and R'lando but both shook their heads even Lady.
Lady "Finn it's for the best. The world needs you alive as a beacon of honor and stability. If you die again only Glob knows how junked up things will get. Plus Jake won't stop howling for months on end if you died again." Finn simply turns to his wife from the bump on the side of her head. And her arm in a sling he saw no other injury. Finn simply stares at the ceiling worried out of his mind what is to become of his wives without him. Over in the edge of the Badlands the Shifter himself sat with a person caged in. The person was asleep inside the glowing cage. The Shifter simply floats a little off the ground looking at his captured prey. His face still void of emotion but his eyes piercing as he focusing beyond the cage and the person in it. Shifter "With nearly everything in place all I need is the location from the Norn stone and all will shatter. Your world will collapse into itself. Not even Finn will be able to stop the chaos and I will be able to move onto the next world. Slowly everything will be back into balance that my kind once gave the galaxies. And to think if Finn had stayed death I wouldn't have been able to complete my plan. Well I could but I would have had to force the spirit of wrath to take a new host. But still with my plans are reaching the final chapters Finn will give into his rage. And now that I have the other son's hosts nothing will get in my way. And you get a front row seat in my realm as it all happens. You will see the pain that my trap has placed into Finn's life. And when he tries to correct my trap he'll drift further away from those how care for him." Hearing the knocks to the room the Shifter snaps his fingers sending the cage back to his realm.
The door opens showing a larger black armor clad Unic. Slung over his shoulder is a large steel beam with odd words written on it. Unic "We've got company it's King Finn's other two wives along with what looks to be a battalion of Grass kin." The Shifter nods to snap his fingers. Shifter "Have a few set up and slow them. We're going to welcome them with style, as a few humans like to say. And we'll do so with the son of creation." The Shifter smiles as the young man with bright neon pink and orange hair stands next to him. His caramel skin and pointed ears proving he's half elf and half human. But the young man smiles to say with pulseless brown eyes "Hello everybody! Lets see what the queens of the grasslands are made of." The Unic chuckles as he walks off giving orders over the radio. Leaving the Shifter to command the host of the son as he saw fit. Shifter 'So they did as I knew they would. Now Finn you will lose two more to my plan and with them your control and sanity will be gone.'
