1. Chapter 1

The Intro showed TME and Atomsk while they were both walking through the Candy Kingdom and just doing random stuff while they talked about the new story to be and who it will go to.

"... So want this story on your side or want it on my side?" TME said while he wondered what Atomsk thought since this was Co-op work.

"Hmmm, you can take this one." Atomsk said.

"You sure?" TME said while he looked at Atomsk.

Atomsk shrugged.

"Well the guy did ask you so…"

"Right, anyway this story starts out WAY back in the AT timeline, like kid Finn way back, no lemons for anyone 17 or younger, 18 and up only, any complaints with that and you guys can vamoos." TME said while he had a half lidded look on his face.

"Yeah. TME and I do have morals. We never make characters under 18 go into a lemon scene. Few of our stories may have said it but we never show the full picture." Atomsk said.

"Yeah, at best or worse in that case, it's just implied off screen and maybe for lesson based stuff like Finn learning it from a book like in Finn the Warlock… still again no lemons for those under 18 years of age… anyway want to say anything else Atomsk or do we get into this paid story in full?" TME said while he had a serious look on his face.

"Eh let's just start the story. They already know about our commission thing and our warning regarding bad reviews (guest or nonguest.). Let's thank the requester that asked us to do this and then get to writing." Atomsk said.

"Indeed, thank you #$$##$ for the payment, this chapter should be out after awhile but don't expect it to be a short story, it will take a bit but by the time you read this it will be finished." TME said while he grins at the screen.

"Indeed so to quote a funny robot… 'Let's go already!'..." Atomsk said before chuckling.

TME sweatdrops at that before he looks at the readers.

"Well you heard him, time to start the story." TME said while the scene went way back in Ooo...

Ooo/ Finn's 6th year of life

The scene showed a young Finn while he was playing with Jake, the two were horsing around… literally when Finn rode Jake's back while he was in a horse shape and Finn was laughing up a storm while he swung a toy sword around like he and Jake were on an adventure while Margaret kept an eye on them with a smile on her face while she had brought the boys to a nearby town to play, it looked adorable to her to see two of her three kids so happy right now.

'Awww, they're so adorable.' Margaret thought.

Though while most of the day went well, a few kids playing with them asked what Finn was while Margaret was away for a moment so she could get some lunch.

"Hey Finn, not sure if anyone else asked but what are you?" The kid asked Finn with a curious look on his face.

"Huh?" Finn said.

"Yeah, some of us are wondering about that. I mean you aren't a dog." another kid said.

"W-Well… my parents told me I'm a human." Finn said while the kids look at one another before they look at Finn.

"What's a human?" The two kids said with a curious tone to their voice while Jake looked confused bby that.

"What do you mean?, Finn's a human so here is a human." Jake said while the first kid shakes their head.

"No I mean what is a Human, I've never seen anyone else like Finn, do they have powers?, Are they all like Finn?, Do they all look as odd as him?" The first kid said while looking curious and… Finn was stumped… sure he was told he was human but the only reason he knew was because of his family and… he just fell silent when he looked royally confused now.

"I… don't know." Finn said.

The kids look at one another and they shrug their shoulders.

"Weird… anyway we will see you later Finn and Jake, hope to play heroes and Monsters again soon." One kid said before he ran off while the other kids gave chase while Finn looked lost in thought and Jake looked worried.

"You okay bro?" Jake said.

"Uh… yeah.. just… yeah…" Finn said while he looked lost in thought and Margaret came back with a happy look on her face when she carried some food for her and her kids.

"Hi boys I'm back with some food." Margaret said before she noticed Finn acting odd.

"Is something wrong Finn?" She said.

"Uh… yeah… what's a Human?" Finn asked while Margaret looked confused.

"What do you mean?, A Human is a human sweetie and you are a good human." Margaret said which caused Finn to pout.

"But what is a human?, Where did I come from?" Finn said while a worried Margaret tried to change the subject.

"Look we can worry about that later, I got your favorite food Finn so cheer up and follow me." Margaret said when she starts to walk away from Finn and Jake to lead them home.

Jake looks at Finn.

"Come on Finn. Maybe some good food will cheer you up."

"Yeah… cheer me up." Finn muttered while he rode on Jake in horse mode while he, his mom, and Jake went back home to eat.

Though a bit later, Finn was talking with his dad Joshua on a few things while Joshua was going over some items to not touch while he was wearing special gloves for protection.

"As you can see Finn, this aura around the item shows a common trait of cursed items and only holy Glob water can purify it, the density of the aura shows common tiers for… hmm… something wrong boyo?, You don't look as interested in learning cool adventure stuff as you normally do, I'd your old man not cool enough to learn from?" Joshua said when he looks at Finn who seemed to look a bit at the ground.

"Hm? Oh sorry dad. I was thinking about something." Finn said.

"Like what Finn?, Don't go all crybaby on me again, might as well get what's off you off your chest and be done with it." Joshua said while he sets the cursed item back in a special safe for safe keeping.

"Well for starters… What is a human? And how come I haven't seen any others like me?, I mean where did I come from?" Finn said.

Joshua didn't expect that kind of question and rubbed the back of his head.

"What is a human?... well you are a human squirt, can't say much about that… as for where you came from, didn't we explain that you were a boom boom baby?, found you on a leaf." Joshua said which did answer where Finn came from… but not where he or his species were and what not.

Finn blushes at the memory.

"Yes but I mean where did I really come from? Was I born in a village of humans?"

That caused Joshua to sweat a bit, this was a bit of a complex thing to talk about and thankfully for him, Margaret called up to the room.

"Honey, we have a new request, its urgent!" Margaret said while Joshua got ready to leave.

"Coming honey!, sorry Finn we may have to talk about this later." Joshua said before he bolts from the room and left a royally confused Finn alone.

'Could it be that… mom and dad don't really know?' Finn thought.

Though Finn really didn't want that as an answer… Finn was really confused and agitated and a few days later, Finn was looking for anything that he could use to try and find out what a human is or where they could be in his dad's office while he, Margaret, Jake, and Jermaine were out of the house for a moment when they had to go to a doctors appointment.

He was shuffling through a lot of paperwork and while he was not normally one to read, he did learn how to thanks to his parents and could at least read small things… this resulted in Finn finding a journal that his dad had and saw this was really old… when he thumbed through it, most of it was just bunk borning stuff that didn't interest Finn… however near the end he saw a journal entry marked 6 years ago… the day Finn was found.

"This gotta be it. Maybe there's more clues to my origin." Finn said before he starts reading that journal entry.

"Dear Diary… a few hours ago Margaret and I found a small baby in the woods, we are not sure why the child is there but we found out that from old records in Premushroom war buildings, this baby is a human baby… though I consider this baby a Boom boom baby since we found the tike stuck to a leave with his own boom boom and Margaret had to wash her lips after giving him kisses and she cleaned the filth off him, we kept the name on that old bread making thing that the baby had when it said Finn's baby food maker, though how bread was good for a baby I will never know but would explain the chub on his body but it only had enough energy to make one loaf and went kaput… shame would have been a good way to save cash… anyway I'm not sure where this baby came from but as far as my research knows… there are no other humans on this landmass called Ooo… maybe across the sea most likely but in Ooo… Finn might as well be called the last human if he was the survivor of an accident… would explain why he was in the woods all alone, doubt anyone would leave the poor kid there… still doesn't change the fact that Finn is probably one of, if not, the last full human alive." The Diary read while Finn's hands shook while he read and reread the page to be triple sure of its contents and the dread that followed… his family had no idea if there were other humans… his family had no idea if other humans were alive… no wonder Margaret and Joshua were hesitant to explain things… they had no idea on the matter either!

'How could they not know?!' Finn thought as he wondered if his parents even tried harder to find more clues.

This caused him to drop the journal and he probably made the rashest choice of his life… he ran from his home… all he took was a backpack, one of his fathers swords, not the demon blood sword, that one was explained to have a small catch to it and Finn would have to remember a phrase in case a demon appeared, though Finn didn't know it would be a prize in his dads soon to be dungeon years from now… the clothes on his back, and plenty of food, clothing, and whatnot in a backpack that Jake got for him recently and a small cloak to hide his form.

The main reason Finn ran was simple… to find out more about himself… if he stuck around, his family may hide more things from him and who knows how long it would take for Finn to find out the truth.

'I'm sorry Jake. Everyone. But I can't find the truth if I stay here more.' Finn thought.

While that happened, Joshua, Margaret, Jake, and Jermaine were all returning home while they were unaware of the now empty house and seems they were carrying a cake with Finn's name on it and other things… look like Finn forgot that he would be turning 7 soon and while the dog family was pretty happy, a crying human keeps running from the house and time passed to much much later…

12 years had passed since then but this is only a roundabout way of going into detail of those 12 years when Finn traveled Ooo…

For the last 12 years, Finn traveled around Ooo while keeping his identity a secret, he outgrew most of his things and had to replace many as time went on… he even had to learn some skills from others in order to survive and get strong so he could become a Hero of Ooo…

2 years after Finn ran… Finn/ 8 years old…

Finn at this time, being 8 and all, looked to be around the size of a Goblin but was a bit bulkier than other kids thanks to his training… though if you could call it training… Finn was just trying to survive and thanks to some gold he picked up, he was eating a meal at a bar in a random village and was devouring plenty of food that he had gotten, he didn't get a real meal in a long time for awhile…

Though while that happened, some rough looking people were trying to hustle some people and one noticed Finn and the large bag of gold that he had, Finn saved up that gold when he sold his old gear and what not that he couldn't use while to the unaware human and the group of thugs, the door to the bar opened which got a few peoples attention thanks to a storm and a figure wearing a cloak walked in… they were hard to make out when the cloak blocked most of their form from view and the thugs ignored the figure who walked towards the counter slowly but the figure stopped when he saw the thugs approach Finn while he was peacefully eating his meal.

"Hey you, what's a kid like you doing with all that gold?" One thug said.

"Huh?... I sold some old gear of mine when I found a new set that fit me and wanted a good meal, need something?" Finn said while the thugs grin while one surprised Finn when he gripped Finn around the neck and lifts him from the chair with one hand.

"Yeah… give us that gold and you can go back to your meal." another thug said while the cloaked figure walked towards the thug who held Finn without the other thugs noticing somehow and he tapped the thug who held a struggling Finn on the shoulder from behind.

The thug turns to look at the figure.

"Oi, beat it. Can't you see I'm busy?" He said with an annoyed look.

The figure however had a cold look in his eyes and just backhands the thug so hard that while Finn was dropped to the floor, the thug crashed against the wall and had a broken neck as a result and while Finn tried to recover as he coughed a few times, he saw the figure just punch and give rapid kicks to various thugs before they could react and most were either dead before they knew it or were in agony when they had shattered bones or were internally bleeding though the figure stood silent when the figure looks at Finn while many bar patrons and the bar owner looked frightened from what just happened.

Finn was quiet and didn't know what to do or say as he wondered of the figure was gonna attack him next for his gold.

Though… Finn was partly right, the figure approached him and grabbed the bag of gold from him, but he only took out one gold coin for each thug killed or injured and dropped the rest near Finn and he walked to the counter.

"Give me some food, doesn't matter if its cooked good or bad… just give me something to eat." The figure bluntly said while he placed the coins on the counter and ignored many who looked at him with weary looks while the figure looks at the bar patron.

The bar patron gulped.

"S-Sure. what would you like?." He said.

This resulted in the figure ordering a meal to go and in no time, with some extra speed from the patron wanting to get the figure out of here, got the items to go pretty fast and the figure starts to walk out of the bar while Finn… though a bit scared… was still mezmerized by the figure and after he picked up his gold, he followed the figure quietly for awhile while the figure seemed to ignore him.

Finn continues to follow the figure but made sure to not scene just in case.

'Who is that guy? He was able to take down those thugs like nothing.' He thought.

The way the guy fought reminded Finn of some old books he read… more like some really really old manga and it looked like the man did something with martial arts or something like that.

The figure keeps on walking while he turned to enter an alleyway and when Finn followed him… he was shocked to see no one there for some reason.

'What the?!... where did he go?' Finn thought as he looked around the alleyway.

Though Finn did freeze when he heard a voice behind him and the voice didn't sound pleased.

"Why are you following me boy?" A voice said behind Finn which made Finn freeze more when he recognized the voice and turned shakingly to look up at the cloaked figure who was somehow behind him… and Finn could see a cold blue eye looking down on him from the one side of the cloak that the shadows didn't cover.

"U-Uh… H-How did you get b-behind me?" Finn said.

Though the figure seemed to be not the one to answer questions and just gripped Finn around the neck and lifts him to be eye level when he gripped Finn tightly on his shirt collar.

"I'm the one asking questions kid… why are you following me… if its the coins then tough luck but I earned that cash for saving your ass from them." The figure said while his gripped tightened and Finn in fear could only get this out.

"S-Strong… h-how…" Was all Finn could get out while the figure narrowed the eye and lets Finn go and he fell onto the ground and just starts walking away.

"Go home kid, I'm not here to babysit brats." The figure said while he starts walking away… though Finn was not one to back down yet and could only grit his teeth and give this answer.

"I can't…" Was all Finn said and the figure stopped to look at Finn.

"What?" The Figure said while he wondered if Finn had a screw loose or something.

"I can't go home." Finn said.

"And why not?, you some kind of runaway?, your family get killed and now you are on the run?" The figure said when he couldn't get why Finn would say that unless Finn had a reason for it.

"No. I'm trying to find out clues of my origin." Finn said.

"Origins?... kid I would suggest going home and waiting till you are a damn grown up before trying stuff like that, if it wasn't for me you would either be dead or starving if those thugs stole that bag from you, don't do stuff that can get you in an early grave." The figure said before he starts walking away and all Finn could say is this when he felt so frustrated.

"I'm a human!" Was all Finn said which stopped the figure in his tracks.

"What?" The figure said before he looked at Finn with an oddly serious look on his face, he then walked to Finn and before Finn could stop him, the figure removed the cloak from Finn and saw Finn in full and his visible eye widened a bit when he saw Finn and he really was a human.

This caused the figure to be silent for a moment like he was contemplating something and just passed Finn the cloak again and all he said was this.

"Follow me boy." Was all the figure said oddly enough for some reason and he starts to walk away from Finn without even giving a reason why for the sudden command.

Finn didn't know what just happened but if this figure knew something then Finn was gonna get his answer no matter what.

This caused Finn to put the cloak back on and he quickly followed the figure out of town and for a bit, the figure keeps walking while Finn had a hard time keeping up because of the pace and how long they were walking.

Finn would have wondered when this will end but the figure turned to a seemingly empty area with a large rock and as Finn approached, the figure placed a hand on the boulder and with a moment of nothing… actual electric energy shot from the mans hand and into the boulder, but instead of breaking it, many runed and cybernetic symbols seemed to appear on the boulder while a nearby crest appeared near the boulder like the energy was powering something in the boulder and all the figure did was walk to Finn, pick him up by the head and tossed him onto the crest and while Finn felt a bit of pain by that, before he could do anything, he was engulfed by a bright light and in no time… Finn was in a massive building while many people walked by Finn… and shockingly… many looked human to him… just… not fully for some and some did look human with various hair colors and what not while the figure who helped Finn and tossed him onto the crest appeared in a flash of light near Finn and he started to walk in a certain direction before Finn could ask him anything.

Finn was able to get up and tries to catch up to the figure.

"D-Dude! What was that about and… what is this place?"

"Just follow me and keep up otherwise good luck with finding me later." was all the figure said with a cold tone to his voice while he keeps on walking down various hallways.

Finn decided to stay quiet as he didn't want to piss off the figure as Finn follows him through the hallways.

While he followed the figure through the strange building, he saw many human like beings though they seemed like hybrids of sorts… like they were humans who had a humanoid ancestor or something or even demon when a few had demonic wings on their back and as the figure led Finn more, he went to a fancy door and knocked on it a few times and an old mans's voice was heard.

"Enter." The voice said which caused the figure to enter the room and gave Finn a look to follow him inside while the figure held the door open.

Finn was very cautious before he entered the room.

When he did, he saw a old man at a desk while he had a bald head, a white spiky beard, and looked a bit weak and the old man noticed Finn.

"Oh hello there young one, come in, come in, my name is Xan Grandblade, I'm the… owner of this place… somewhat… or founder… who are you?" The old man named Xan said while he gave Finn an eyesmile.

Finn felt a little relaxed when he saw that smile.

"My name is Finn."

"Finn huh?, well nice to meet you… why are you here and why did you follow Demonga?" Xan said while he gestured for Finn to sit at a nearby chair. (A/N: Bet you thought Emerald would be the main OC here but not this time… maybe later down the line as a major character but for now… nope… Demonga is the lead for this OC train.)

Finn took a seat before he started explaining how Demonga saved him from some thugs that wanted to take his gold before following him out of curiosity.

"I see, so you were curious on how Demonga was able to do that more or less and when you said you were human, you decided to follow him when he told you to follow and here you are… I do have to say one thing… are you an idiot boy?... what if Demonga was a slave trader or some kind of evil man?, don't you know the term stranger danger?" Xan said when he questioned Finn's sanity for a moment though he didn't seem angry with Finn, just the lack of logic more or less.

Finn rubbed the back of his head.

"Well… yes but I've been able to survive on my own and been making sure to be a great hero."

Xan just gave Finn a half lidded look.

"Boy… you are eight from what I can see… runaway or not did you not think of how your family may miss you?" Xan said while he raised an eyebrow at Finn.

Finn frowns.

"Of course. But I don't think they can give me the answers that I'm looking for to where I truly came from. I'm not heartless. I do think about them from time to time. I just need the truth."

"And what if you can't get the truth because of how weak you are boy?, and even if you do find this truth, would it be worth leaving your family and friends behind for years on end?" Xan said while he had a serious look on his aged face.

Finn was quiet.

"To be honest… I don't know. But deep down, part of me knows that I made a mistake. But I chose this path and have to accept it."

Xan was quiet for a moment before he sighs.

"Demonga." Was all Xan said before Demonga chopped Finn on top of the head but not enough to knock him out but painful enough to make him hold his head in agony when it was perfect enough to give pain but light enough to not knock him out into blissful sleep.

"Gah! What the ball was that for!?" Finn said as he held his head.

"Simple, punishment in your parent's place and congratulations, though they are rare here in this base there are a few humans… I am one of them even if I am an old man." Xan said while he gave Finn a toothy grin.

Finn was surprised to hear that.

"Really? I couldn't tell if everyone was human or not."

"Huh… not a big of a reaction as I would have thought and nah… about… well if we include you if you stick around… 8 people here out of nearly 200 to 300 people are pure human, granted in my case and in the case of the others like Demonga, we either had genetic changes done to our body so we could survive here on Ooo or lengthen our lifespans… I'm pushing 500 right now thanks to that though youth is a hard thing to keep and now I'm an old man for the rest of my days, the rest are either descendants of people who never left Ooo and now they are more humanoid then human or they are experiments from the past who were made here with mixes of human and some kind of species DNA… its a long long story but I'm sure you would want to be well rested and hear about this tomorrow so why not follow Demonga and bunk with him for a night and we can find a room for you tomorrow, don't worry about Demonga Finn… he maybe an ass but he is a good child deep down… he helped you from those thugs after all." Xan said while Demonga just crossed his arms and turned his head away but didn't say no to having Finn with him.

Finn sweatdrops at the reaction.

"True… and I do need some rest after everything."

"Good, we can talk in the morning, Demonga, try and treat Finn well tonight alright?" Xan said while he eyesmiles at Demonga who just made a tsk noise and he left the room a moment later while a nervous Finn gave pursuit which made Xan shake his head.

"Good grief… Pluton." Xan said while a hidden door opened to show a complex looking robotic humanoid.

"Yes?" The robot known as Pluton said while Xan looks at Pluton.

"Give Finn a checkup in the morning after he gets a full meal, but before that, summon the heads… you know why." Xan said while he gave Pluton a serious gaze.

"As you wish Master Xan." Pluton said.

This caused Pluton to exit the room through the hidden wall and after it closed, the scene showed Finn following Demonga to his room while Demonga was pretty quiet.

Finn was quiet as well and didn't if he should say something or not for a bit.

"Um… thanks for saving me back there from those thugs earlier." He said.

Demonga however stayed quiet while he keeps on leading Finn through a few places and led Finn to a simple looking door and when he and Finn entered, saw a pretty spacy room that had a large bed, plenty of dressers, plenty of weapons and training gear and a picture that had two boys with a older man on one of them while the man pets their head with a smile… the kid on the right had brown hair and green eyes but the one on the left had red hair and blue eyes, aside from hair and eyes they could be twins… was that Demonga as a kid?

"H-Hey, is that you when you were younger? Do you also have a twin brother?" Finn said.

Demonga though answered that when he removed his cloak and to Finn's surprise… while he did have red hair and piercing blue eyes, he oddly had wolf ears on his head and a red colored wolf tail to boot… what in the world, Demonga wore some top tier adventuring outfit that many adventurers would dream of though he only had two short… really short spears that looked like they wouldn't do much and he sets the cloak and weapons on a dresser.

"You'll get your answers tomorrow, first off get undressed and get cleaned in the bathroom, you take the bed as well, no talk backs kid, I'll sleep on the floor." Demonga said while he removed his shirt and his torso was seen and not only was it toned as hell, it looked trained to absolute perfect for speed and power while many scars were on his body… just what did he go through to look like he went through a blender?

Though Demonga just used a quick spell to summon his food from earlier and went to eat it nearby while Finn was now technically alone with his thoughts.

'What in the world? What adventures did he went through to get those scars? And how does he have wolf ears and a wolf? He doesn't look nothing like his old photo.' Finn thought.

Honestly the questions just piled up more and more but for now, seems Demonga won't answer while he ate his food and that left Finn no choice but to get clean in the bathroom.

'Might as well wait for tomorrow then.' Finn thought before he went to the bathroom so he can get clean.

When he entered, he saw that the bathroom was pretty decent, had a good toilet with a cushion on the ring, there was even a shower nearby and a large tub to boot that looked fancy with various soaps and conditioners lined up on a soap rack… all in all looked like a 5 star hotel so far.

'This beats any of the bathrooms I've seen. At least I'll get a nice hot shower and Glob knows I need it.' Finn thought before quickly removes his clothes before stepping in the shower.

While that happened, Demonga saw steam emitting from the shower room and he tossed a spare chopstick at the wall and a tiny Kya sound was made when a girl trying to be a ninja fell from the wall and it looked like she was part hedgehog and had wolf like with a bushy tail which was tiny and adorable and she had a small mark on her forehead thanks to what Demonga did.

"How many times have I told you Ruby not to sneak in here with that cloaking spell… you are just as bad as your father with those pranks… double annoying since he is my brother…" Demonga said while he looks at the little girl who tried to recover.

She had Brownish to pink hair while the ends were like Quills, she normally had pale white skin but red colored eyes which was the reason for the Ruby name and looked to be Finn's age.

She was also wearing dark purple shorts and a shirt that has a picture of what appears to be a band of sorts.

"Sorry Uncle Demongy. Thought I got better." Ruby said.

Demonga rolled his eyes at the Demongy nickname that Ruby gave him.

"Just don't bug me while I'm eating, if you want to see the possible newbie then wait for him to finish showering, you can peek if you want but you are a bit young to be doing that kind of thing, you are not taking after Xan or Lillum right?" Demonga said while looking amused at the latter bits.

Ruby blushes brightly.

"Glob no! I would never peek on someone."

"And what you are doing is not peeking?" Demonga said with a slightly relaxed look about himself.

"N-No… I was just curious when I heard you have a human with you." Ruby said.

"Yeah well when that kid was about to get mugged, couldn't leave him alone, reminded me of your father before he took his training seriously and it ticked me off that a kid his age was trying to hit above his weight class by trying to be an adventurer in this world." Demonga bluntly said before he ate some meat he had which got Ruby's eye when the smell was getting to her.

"Hmmm, what's that you're eating?" Ruby said as she smelled the aroma.

Demonga looks a bit amused when he held some of the meat towards Ruby though when she tried to bite into it, Demonga pulled away and Ruby fell onto the ground while Demonga bit into a large chunk of meat.

"Just some food from the surface that I earned." Demonga said while Ruby pouts from the trick after she got off the ground.

"Can I have a piece please?" Ruby said before giving her uncle a cute begging look.

Demonga looks amused a bit and looks thoughtful.

"Maybe… on one condition… you deal with that human boy and be a tour guide for him, I'm not a people person except for family and even then I don't talk much with my family aside from mates or kids like you." Demonga said while he held up a smaller bag full of nice smelling treats that made Ruby drool without her control.

"S-Sure. I'll help show this guy around." Ruby said.

Demonga nods his head and passed Ruby the smaller bag and Demonga ate his meal while Ruby dug into her bag with gusto and had a happy look on her face when she enjoyed how good the food was, her tail even wagged as a result.

"Yummy." Ruby said as she savored the taste of the meat.

Time went on to a bit later with Finn exiting the bathroom in a t-shirt, underwear, and a pair of shorts and he saw Demonga finishing his meal and… a strange girl laying next to Demonga with a content look on her face and Demonga didn't seem irritated by her and looked like she was half wolf and… half something with while she pats her slightly extended tummy like she had a nice meal.

Though Finn was confused for a bit, he couldn't help but think the girl looked… cute.

"Um hello?" He said.

This caused the girl to jolt and looks at Finn with a curious look on her face while she blushed at Finn seeing her like this while Demonga looks amused.

"Hey Kid… meet your tour guide tomorrow, my Niece Ruby, her father and mother are away on a mission right now so try and treat her with respect, I normally don't babysit but can make an exception for Ruby... her parents are two of the leaders of their respective groups so they have a lot of influence around here… don't do anything stupid with Ruby boy and you and I won't have issues." Demonga said while he pets Ruby's head in a surprisingly caring way though gave Finn a cold look on being careful with Ruby.

Finn gulped a bit.

"Y-Yeah. No problem." He said before looking at Ruby.

"I'm Finn."

Ruby quicky gets up and smiles at Finn.

"Hi, I'm Ruby, nice to meet you Finn, want to play some games or you going to sleep with uncle Demongy?" Ruby said while she gave Finn a hyper like attitude as her wolf tail wagged.

Finn blinked at how energetic Ruby was though he did think that uncle Demongy nickname was funny.

"I don't mind playing a game or two. What do you have?"

Ruby giggles and gripped Finn's hand.

"Oh I have lots of them!, Come on!" Ruby said before she dragged Finn from the room and Demonga looks amused by the stunned look on Finn's face at the surprising strength that Ruby had.

'Good Glob… does she work out or something?' Finn thought.

The scene then went to the next day with Demonga and Xan waiting in a large office while they were waiting for certain people to arrive, Finn was passed out on Ruby's floor when she and Finn played various games to who knows how long and it resulted in Finn not being apart of the meeting.

"Huh, wonder where Finn is?" Xan said.

"Played with Ruby for who knows how long, they are sleeping in Ruby's room while the kid is sleeping on the floor, Ruby has her bed." Demonga said which showed he checked up on them.

Xan blinked bit before he chuckled.

"Oh boy. If Emerald came back early from his mission, he'll have a field day if he finds Finn in her room."

"Find who in Ruby's room?" A voice said which made Xan jolt when he looks to see a man who could be Demonga's twin while he had a brown colored wolf tail and had brown wolf ears on his head, at his side was a Hedgehog humanoid woman with some human traits, she had pink quills and had a powerful looking body while the man wore a heavyset style of clothing, mainly long sleeved shorts and pants and a trench coat as well as a wide brim hat, the woman wore a red tank top and cargo pants and both of them wore boots, black for the man, red for the woman.

"E-Emerald… you're back already." Xan said with a slight surprise look.

"Eh wasn't as bad as things were made out to be in one of the bases, apparently a science experiment ran amok and Maite and I had to take care of it, thankfully it was sealed in a sector so simple to hunt it down and take it out before it could take lives, anyway who's with Ruby right now?." Emerald said while he grins while he placed a hand on the hedgehog woman's hip.

As Maite blushes, Xan rubbed the back of his head.

"Okay… if I tell you, do not fly off the handle like you always do."

Demonga in turn moved to block the door for some reason when he used his a spear of his to block the door handle while Emerald looked confused, more so when Demonga moved around to get behind Emerald for some reason.

"OK?... why is Demonga doing that?" Emerald asked while Xan rubbed his beard.

"Well…." Xan said while the scene went outside of the room for a moment.

"WHAT!?" Emerald roars while Demonga had him in a perfect full nelson and all Emerald could do was kick the air while he looked feral when Xan told Emerald that Ruby had a sleepover and with a boy her age named Finn the human.

Maite was a bit surprised at the story as Xan shook his head.

"What did I tell you. Just calm down Emerald." Xan said.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?, A BRAT LIKE THAT IS WITH MY LITTLE GIRL!?, I'LL PUT THE FEAR OF DEATH INTO HIS SOUL!" Emerald roars while the door opened to show a man with two fox tails.

"Oh boy… did Emerald hear about Ruby's new friend." A man with black spiky hair said while Demong grits his teeth when Emerald thrashed around more in his arms.

"Not… helping… Shunpei!" Demonga got out when he keeps his grip on his brother.

Shunpei sweatdrops as Xan looks at Maite.

"Maite, can you please calm your husband down?"

Maite sighs while she went to sooth Emerald's anger while a shapely woman entered the room while she had demonic wings on her back and a demon tail as well, she wore revealing gear but was modest enough to not scar kids.

"I heard a shout, Emerald find out?" the Woman said which caused Shunpei to look at the woman.

"Yeah Lillum, he did, you hear from Cedric, Azure, and Rachel on if they are coming back to the main base anytime soon?" Shunpei asked while Lillum walked around Shunpei and towards Emerald.

"They were delayed by a knife storm where they are at, they should be here in a number of hours once they hit the nearest teleport point, hey Maite, let me lend a hand, Demonga seems to be loosing his grip." Lillum said when she walked near Demonga and saw that he had to adjust his grip a few times and Maite's method of calming would be a bit slow when she tried to use reason on Emerald.

Maite sighs before looking at Lillum.

"Go right ahead Lillum."

This caused Lillum to smirk before she moved to kiss Emerald which did work slowly to get his rage to calm while Demonga let go and shook his arms to get the feeling back in them.

"Feeling alright Demonga?" Shunpei said.

"I'll feel better when I don't have to subdue my overprotective idiotic brother who gets upset that two 8 year olds are playing together." Demonga said while Emerald got a tick mark on his head when Lillum pulled away from the kiss.

"Oh try saying that if you have a daughter and a boy alone in a room and try saying the same thing when I have you in a damn headlock." Emerald said while Demonga rolled his eyes.

"Full Nelson actually." Demonga said while Emerald got a twitching eyebrow.

"Well excuse me for not being a wrestling fanatic like you!" Emerald growled out while Demonga just walked by him to sit in his chair at a round table while Emerald looked more steamed.

"Ohhh!, just what is it with you silent mofo's and that attitude!?" Emerald growled out while Lillum chuckles a bit and pushed a fuming Emerald to his seat while Xan sighs in relief when he looks at Shunpei and Maite.

"I had Pluton get some blood samples from Finn since he was knocked out and my personal team is running tests even as we speak, surprised a full human like him survived this long... he looks so much like her that its just honestly shocking since I haven't seen a human with blonde hair ever since I left the Island with the team of humans years ago… think it was around 30 or so years ago… Guinevere's kid if I'm not mistaken and she had her own kid when she grew huh?… wondered where he ran off to when I heard the rumors though how he got to Ooo is beyond me… reminds me of the time I took your families with me so you wouldn't be be treated badly in the public eye… honestly if not for your parents and grandparents who joined, things would be pretty bad given how the island is starting to get overpopulated." Xan said when he remembered the Island of humans and how he had to trick Dr. Gross years ago so he could get the experimental gene spliced humans off the Island and not used as Guinea Pigs… granted the stuff helped change the past humans into what they are now in case of emergencies with health, but now most humans here were more or less artificial hybrids in early stages and some like Ruby were more or less natural since she was the daughter of Emerald and Maite.

As the group nods, the floor started to rumble before Maite made a oof sound when she was lifted up.

Turns out, Pluton had came into the room but in a pretty comical way when the tile Maite was standing on was lift from the floor and Pluton's head was the one supporting the tile while Maite had trouble keeping balance.

"Apologize for interrupting, but I was ordered to let you know that Finn the Human is awake and I'm having Ruby bring him here so I took a shortcut to let you all know, anyway I'll be going back to my duties so good day to you all." Pluton said before he lowered his head and the tile fit back into place which caused Maite some relief when she didn't fall on the ground out of nowhere.

Everyone else sweatdropped.

"Talk about informative." Shunpei said.

"Yeah… though this will be fun since I don't have to hunt that punk down." Emerald said with a scary grin on his face.

Maite sighs before gripping her husband's shoulder with a strong grip.

"Emerald, relax. No reason to scare the kid since I'm sure Demonga put a good warning to Finn."

All Demonga did when he heard that was look away while a few blink at that… when Demonga normally looked away that was either Demonga not caring about the conversation… or he never really got the warning part across.

"Uh oh…" Many thought while there were tiny sounding footsteps heard and while Emerald tried to calm himself with a quick drink that he had gotten… well… when Finn and Ruby entered the room… Emerald got comically wide eyes and smashed his glass with his hand when he saw his little girl pretty much hugging Finn around the arm while Finn looked nervous… just what in the nightosphere happened and it seems Finn didn't notice the many growing veins on Emerald since it seemed he was trying to get Ruby off him.

Everyone else planned to make sure that Emerald doesn't do anything stupid.

"Hello Finn. Thanks for coming here. Hope you slept well." Xan said.

"Well the floor didn't bother me at all since I was so tired. Ruby and I went all out on those games." Finn said.

"Hehe, yeah, Finny here is fun to play with." Ruby said while many in the room didn't need to look at Emerald to feel his rising anger at the Finny nickname that Ruby gave a slightly blushing Finn.

"Right… So Finn, why don't you tell everyone here about yourself." Xan said.

"Alright." Finn said before clearing his throat.

"Well as you all know, I'm Finn and I'm a human. I've been traveling around trying to find clues about my origins since I was 6 while trying to be a hero to anyone that needs help for these last two years."

Everyone blinks at that while Emerald was stunned enough by that to actually sound calm when he talked.

"Find out your origins?... kid… you were 6… now your… 8… you shouldn't be worrying about stuff like that unless you have a mid life crisis and seriously… did your folks let you do this because if so I may have to have a talk with them about their parental skills." Emerald said when his pack mentality side of him was stirred a bit while Demonga rolled his eyes.

"Already had that talk Emerald, kids pretty adamant about this, though I had to bail him from some thugs who were about to mug him for his bag of gold… got a gold piece for each thug that I took out in return for my meal last night but the kid followed me and told me he was human… now here we are." Demonga said while Emerald's eyebrow twitched.

"So that's the reason why he's here?... then how do you explain why my little girl has her arms around this brats arm when they JUST met!" Emerald said while he had a slight growl to his voice while he looks at Finn… mainly his arm that Ruby kept hugging.

Though Finn blushed from the hugging, he felt ticked at the brat comment.

"Excuse me? Sir, I don't get your deal but you don't know me personally and I haven't done anything to Ruby so how about you calm down."

Emerald actually looked pissed by that but before he could do anything, Xan gave Finn a serious look.

"Boy, first off Emerald is Ruby's father and thanks to some Gene splicing done he is part wolf and VERY pack protective… you are a strange male to him and somehow have his daughter on your arm… whether its for just friendliness or something else, considering you are younger than 10 and a pup to be exact… talking to Emerald who is technically Maite and Ruby's Alpha like that is just asking for trouble… besides Emerald is actually restraining himself quite well so please… try and watch your tone since you are a stranger to us… you maybe human and you maybe welcomed here but don't think you can order us around without getting to know us as well… think about your actions before you go through with them is all I'm saying." Xan said while Emerald looked… not shaky… but oddly calm and gave Finn a cold look.

"Yeah… pull that shit with me boy and I don't care if Ruby or anyone else is angry with me… tell me to do anything like that again and I'll rip your arm off faster then you will realize it… I'm no enemy but I am Ruby's father and from where I'm sitting… a brat who came out of nowhere has my little girl hugging his arm… try and think why I would be pissed before you mouth off in a moment." Emerald said while a pressure pushed down on Finn like no other monsters pressure did and Finn felt like he had a hard time breathing just now and his life seemed to flash before his eyes without his control and Emerald wasn't even moving yet.

Ruby glares at her dad.

"That's enough dad! Finn gets it."

Emerald looks at Ruby for a moment before he looks at Finn and the odd pressure went away and Emerald sounded calm again.

"Fine… but Ruby… I'm only backing down this once since this kid doesn't know his place here and pulled a stupid move… friendship I get but if you think I'll let you date this weakling in the future if he sticks around and is not stronger if… well… better think again unless he actually does something to impress me… and another thing young lady… don't think I won't spank you for speaking to your Alpha leader like that next time… understand?" Emerald said while he gave his daughter a look that dared her to argue with him… Emerald was a kind father but serious situations like this really got him in Alpha mode when it came to his family and he rarely used that kind of card.

Ruby pouts but nods her head before looking at Finn.

"Sorry for my dad Finn." She said.

"N-No worries… My fault for pissing him off. Though for some reason… I think what he did made me remember something." Finn said.

That confused many in the room.

"Something?... what was that?" Shunpei asked while Finn looks at him with a confused face.

"Oh sorry, my name is Shunpei, I'm the tech guy here more or less, still learning under my master but if you need something made or fixed, you can request it from me and if I have the materials, you give me the cash and I make it or you can bring the materials to me and I'll make it cheap since you did the heavy lifting… nice to meet you." Shunpei said with a friendly look about him.

Finn seemed to relax when he saw the friendly look.

"Nice to meet you too."

This then starts a small introduction of sorts with the others that Finn didn't recognize starting with Maite when Finn looks at her.

"Hey, sorry for Emerald, he's my husband and he means well but as you can see can be pretty overprotective or Ruby and doesn't let many push him around, hope to get to know you later Finn… I mainly go around on missions for the base and work with newbies so you may team up with me quite a bit to learn the ropes if you stick around." Maite said while she gave Finn a kind motherly smile.

Finn blushes from the smile.

"T-Thank you. And my apologies for making things awkward. Hopefully I can get stronger with your teachings."

Maite smiles more at that while Lillum grins when she raised her hand.

"Hope you do get stronger, not many last in our line of work, my name is Lillum… I would explain what I am spliced with but… well you need to be an adult before you find out full but let's just say I'm a succubus and leave it at that, I have twin daughters Frost and Rose and I'm in a relationship with a couple people… mainly a lion lady named Leonel and Emerald here… you can ask how that happened later… just a heads up Ruby may have competition for you since my daughters are your age Finn and they just love to flirt and tease the boys and girls." Lillum said while she smirked at Finn.

Finn blinks a bit after hearing that.

"M-Message received." He said though he gulped as he didn't know if these Frost and Rose characters are Emerald's other daughters or one of them.

Either or… Finn needs to stay away from Emerald and perhaps his daughter or daughters too.

The other people in the room sweatdrop at the introduction Lillum did and since that was all for now, Xan looks at Finn.

"So Finn, you say you want answers to your origins and we may have them… however you may not be ready to hear all of them and we may keep some info from you until the time is right, but if you want to stay we won't stop you, but if you want to go because of that held back information… well the main reason for that is… that it's hard to talk about… if you hear this you may not look at humans the same way again… so if you can accept getting bits and pieces of the truth back over time and piece things back together… well we will tell you everything we know, however I know more then the others and while I'm sure this may remind you of your folks… but try and understand adults can be complex beings… you are not even 10 years old so how about this… I tell you something now, and once you are a bit older, I tell you more, something to look forward too so to speak and it would give me time to see if you are mature enough to take it… it's one thing surviving in the wilderness of Ooo, it's another to get hit with unexpected baggage that will weigh on your heart." Xan said while he gave Finn a serious look to show he was telling the truth but also would hold some things back until Xan saw that Finn was ready if he stuck around… he was not forced to stay here by any means after all.

Finn was thoughtful since he was close to finally getting the clues he was searching for but would have to wait till he gets older to get the full picture. However… he has gone this far.

"I spent two years alone trying to find answers of my origins. I guess it's better than nothing so… I'll take it."

"Good Good… but one question… more like two… first… was it worth abandoning your foster family?... again the info you may get may not be what you expect… and two… have you learned anything the 2 years you have been traveling?" Xan asked with an oddly sage like look on his face.

Finn sighs a bit.

"For the first question… I sometimes ask myself that question everyday. I always wondered if I didn't leave them or if they want me back after everything I put them through."

"I see… and the second question… did you learn anything these past two years until now besides how to survive?" Xan asked while he rubbed his beard in thought.

"Well… I learn that I have to accept whatever decision I made no matter the consequences. And I also learn to not always trust anyone until it's safe."

"I see... very well… I'll tell you three things then… again are you ready because they are pretty intense things to hear." Xan said while he gave a look that demanded Finn to think the choice through since it could change his life from here on out.

Finn took some thought for a bit before looking at Xan.

"I'm ready."

"Alright… I'm possibly your great Grandfather on your mother's side if the blood test I had done on you goes through… don't ask how many greats because life lengthening experiments…" Xan said while he gave Finn an eyesmile.

Finn's eyes widened in shock after hearing.

"Y-You're my great granddad?"

"Well possibly if my hunch is correct but in my youth I had long lushious blonde hair that all the ladies swooned after and I was pretty tough even though I was the brainy type." Xan said while he eyesmiles at Finn more.

Finn blinked a bit after hearing that.

"Okay… then who was my 'possible' great grandmother?"

"A beautiful woman in my eyes before she died named Guinivere… ah she was a sweet thing and boy did she really know how to have fun hehehe." Xan said while he chuckles lecherously which made many sweatdrop while the lecherous chuckle went over Finn and Ruby's heads thanks to them being so young.

Finn looks at Ruby.

"I don't get what he meant."

"I don't either, grandpa gets like that for some reason… heard its a grown up thing." Ruby said when she looks at Finn for a moment before the duo looks back as Xan sweatdrops and cleared his throat a moment later.

"R-Right… anyway the second thing I should tell you is simple… aside from this group… there are more humans… full humans… I may have mentioned it but they have not left the island so beings like flame people, Candy people, magical dogs, and other beings… they would be feared on the island which is why I brought Emerald and the others here to Ooo since they would fit in more here than on the island." Xan said while he looks at Finn… sure he heard there were other humans but an island full of them would still be a shocker when Finn heard that they would be more or less unknowing of the outside of Ooo from fear.

Finn's jaw dropped after hearing this.

"An island of humans… Maybe that's where I came from. My parents did think I may have come from somewhere in the water. Tell me, did other humans used a special wand that made bread?"

"Hmmm?, you mean a food materialization converter?, those things have gone a bit out of style but yeah, some do, they make a mean sandwich with all the fixins… depends on the size of the end point where the food comes from but most of the time the opening is like the size of a bangle or something." Xan said when he wondered where that question came from.

Finn was surprised to hear that.

"Well first off, there was a clue of sorts in my dad's journal. The only one I found was when they found me in the woods when I was a baby and I had that specific item with me."

"Hmmm… do you have it or was it tossed?" Xan asked while he looked curious.

"No… ran off from my home and couldn't find the thing." Finn said which made Xan hum.

"Hmmm… I see… well hopefully if you ever choose to head to your place in the future, we can see if we can't get it working." Xan said with a kind tone to his voice.

"Yeah…" Finn said but felt a bit bummed when he just remembered the family he left behind before shaking his head.

"So what's the third thing?"

"Simple… this is both the best thing you can hear yet the worst thing you can hear… I can hold this one back till you are a bit older… but it involves your human mother… I'm not sure what happened to your human father but I know something about your mother that would be heartbreaking." Xan said while he gave Finn a serious look again.

Finn can see the seriousness in his 'possible' grandfather.

"Then maybe it's better that I wait then."

"Very well… if you change your mind then let me know alright?" Xan said while a tile was lifted in front of Finn and it sat on Pluton's head.

"I have the results of the blood test now." Pluton said while Finn had wide eyes at the surprise appearance of Pluton's head from the ground though Ruby looked pretty happy to see Pluton.

"Hey Pluton." Ruby said with a smile.

Pluton turned his head with a mechanical werl and Finn saw Pluton giving Ruby a stoic look.

"Hello Ruby… hello Finn." Pluton said when he looks at Finn with robotic camera eyes.

"H-Hey." Finn said as he gets over his surprise.

Xan chuckles before looking at the robot.

"So Pluton. What's the analysis?"

Pluton looks at Xan and a drumroll music was heard.

"I'll be brief… Finn… is your Great Great Great Great Grandson on your daughter's side." Pluton said like he didn't just give Finn shocking news right now.

Finn was once again shocked at this news while everyone else was surprised.

Pluton then looks around to the others.

"Anyway I'll see you all later, good day." Pluton said before his head lowered into the ground and the tile slipped into place again.

Xan chuckles again.

"Oh that Pluton." He said before looking at Finn.

"Well kid, guess that means we're officially family now."

Finn blinks at that before he looks at Xan.

"U-Uh… yeah… nice to know that… Grandpa." Finn said though he blushed a bit when he realized he actually had someone to call Grandpa and felt happy from that.

Xan chuckled.

"Good to have you here my grandson."

This caused Finn to blush again when he would have to get used to this new feeling and Xan clapped his hands a few times to get everyone's attention.

"Alright, Alright, enough with the drama, for now we should celebrate the finding of my flesh and blood grandson and decide how to raise him, I'm getting on in age so I'm not the best to raise her and it would be odd if Emerald and Maite raise Finn while Ruby is friendly with Finn so… by process of elimination of how busy others are and since I don't want Lillum to scar Finn… Demonga… looks like you become a foster father." Xan said which made Demonga blink before he looks at Xan.

"What!?" Demonga said with a shocked tone to his voice.

Finn blinks in surprise as everyone else was surprised at the suggestion.

"No reason to object Demonga. This can be good for you." Xan said.

"Are you kidding?, do I look like parent material!?" Demonga said though a look from Xan caused him to jolt and he just tsked again and away and shockingly admits defeat.

"Fine… but only if the kid stays here, like you said, can't force him to stay." Demonga said while he didn't look amused at all by the situation.

Xan just gave him an eyesmile before he looks at everyone.

"Great, now that we have gotten that out of the way, we should end this meeting unless someone else has something to say." Xan said when he looks at the others in the room.

Everyone else looked at one another before they shook their heads at Xan.

"Great… and Finn, while Demonga maybe rough around the edges, he could be a good parent if you let him be one, not like he's going to replace your dad but you got no one to raise you right now so better Demonga then no one... as I said I'm too old to be raising a child and have other things I need to do but you can visit at any time if you want if you need to hear some age old wisdom from an old man like me." Xan said while he gave Finn a kind smile on his aged face.

Finn was quiet as he glances at Demonga before looking at Xan.

"Well I don't have a problem with Demonga raising me. Plus if I'm planning to stay here, I'll have to pull my weight with whatever stuff you guys need help with and I can also try to get to know you all."

"Well before that happens, you'll need to be toughened up first kid, I don't want to have to bail you out of every dangerous situation there is and you needing a Gene splicing in order to survive." Demonga said when he points at the animal traits on him… seems whatever damaged his body in the past caused him to undergo this kind of procedure that had him grow a wolf tail and ears… not like many would complain on the sight alone but still if Demonga didn't want to do it, he must have gotten into a situation that pretty much forced him to go through it.

Finn gulped when he heard that.

"R-Really?... Does it hurt?"

"The training?... oh yeah, you may curse my very existence by the time I'm done kid but you'll be stronger for it and may thank me when you are finished, the gene splicing… not very but its a one time thing since there is no going back and I could have picked better then having Xan give me a look that looks like the same as my brother." Demonga said while Xan sounded hurt.

"Oh but Demonga, you and your brother are twins, it wouldn't be the same if you two looked so different." Xan said while Demonga's eye twitched when Xan went into full on grandpa mode and that made Demonga look uncomfortable at the familial moment with Xan and Ruby giggles at the sight since her Uncle didn't really like it when people tried to be sweet on him.

Most chuckled a bit at Demonga.

"So… do I pick which animal to look like or am I gonna be a bit like you?" Finn said.

That caused many to look at Finn in surprise and Demonga gave him a half lidded look.

"It's not contagious kid, and no ones forcing you to change, it's a fully willing procedure here unlike in the past, and it's only forced on you if you have a life threatening injury, if you want a animal like trait, I'm not stopping you but try and remember its a one way one time procedure and once you go through with it, don't cry to me if you hate it so better think it through carefully." Demonga said while he looks at Finn.

"I'll make sure to remember that." Finn said as he doesn't want to get on Demonga's bad side.

"Good… I'll need to think of a training program for you kid so you better enjoy your youth while it lasts because you may grow up too fast with my kind of training." Demonga bluntly said which told Finn he would go through hell soon.

Finn blinked before he looks at Ruby and whispers closely.

"Any advice on what I should do?"

All Ruby could do was look thoughtful and she just gave him a kind smile.

"Prey for not getting injured much?" was all Ruby whispered back while a few in the room with good hearing that and chuckles when Finn looked pale.

Finn gulped a bit as Xan chuckled.

"Okay ya'll, now that this meeting is over, why don't you give Finn the tour of our home Ruby."

"Oh right!, come on Finn I got lots to show you." Ruby said before she dragged Finn out of the room comically while he had a surprised look on his face when he was actually lifted in the air like a kite of sorts.

Maite giggles at that before she looks at the others while Demonga got up from his seat.

"Guess this is the official ending, I'll see you later while I go check to see if there are simple missions to break Finn in on." Maite said before she she stretched her body and she starts to walk out of the room followed by Shunpei and Lillum which left Xan, Emerald, and Demonga alone for a moment and Emerald got a serious look on his face.

"Hey Gramps… you sure telling Finn that last thing would be a good idea?" Emerald said while Demonga starts walking away.

"Maybe, maybe not, but the sooner Finn knows, the better idea he can expect after Demonga's training… Hey Demonga, try and not cripple the kid, he is my grandson after all." Xan said which made Demonga look amused.

"You kidding… if he takes after you he will survive… after all even to this day Emerald and I have trouble taking you on in a fight so who knows how much of a monster this grandson of yours will be once properly trained." Demonga said before he left the room while Xan looks amused by that response.

"Hehe, indeed." Xan said before looking Emerald.

"Hope you don't try to scare Finn too much considering things."

"You kidding…" Emerald starts to say as the scene shifts to years later while a tall cloaked figure was walking towards a bar near the Fire Kingdom while somehow not using a flame shield spell.

"... my scare moments will be just teases compared to Demonga's training." Emerald said while the scene showed the figure entering the bar.

---

Fire Kingdom/ Unknown bar/ ?

The figure walked up to the counter and the bartender noticed the stranger and saw that not only were they not a flame person but didn't have a flame shield shockingly enough.

"Hehe, wow, not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me stranger but are you not using a flame shield?" The Bartender asked while the figure chuckles in some amusement.

"Well… you could say I'm using my own kind of flame shield… anyway I just wanted to stop by a blacksmith that forges a weapon of mine but I heard rumors of the princess of the Fire Kingdom is being held captive by her father in a lamp… any truth to those rumors?" The stranger said while he placed some flame kingdom currency on the counter to loosen the barkeeps lips a bit.

"Well… don't know about captive but… she is indeed inside a lamp. Hasn't been out during her childhood." The Barkeep said.

"I see… nice to know, got any magically enchanted coal to go?, might as well give the blacksmith something to snack on since he doesn't leave his place much and who knows… maybe I could trying the princess from her big bad dad." The man said with an amused tone to his voice while he sets more gold on the counter to get his order while some thugs from the bar look amused when they saw that… and got up to stand behind the figure and the figure sighs.

"Yup, definitely make it to go… mind giving me a bit extra to go while I take care of these guys?" the figure asked the barkeep with a calm tone to his voice while he had a smile on his face that was seen.

The barkeep blinked a bit after hearing this.

"Um sure. Okay." He said before the Barkeep went to make sure the figure's order went perfect.

While that happened, the figure turned to the thugs and smiles at them.

"So… how can I help you guys?, sorry but if you want my gold, you'll need to take the gold from me by force." The figure said while he had a calm demenor about him even though he was outnumbered 5 to 1.

"Hehe fine by me since there's only 5 of us and you're just one person. Better if you surrender now or expect a beating." The thug leader said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Well I would but…" The Figure said while the leader was already falling forward much to the thug minions shock.

"... I already took you out since you didn't back off." The figure said to the down leader while the thugs thought the figure used a spell to get the boss of the group and were pissed from that cheap shot.

"Let's get this fool!" One thug said before they each try to beat the figure at once.

Though while the thugs rush the figure, time seemed to slow to show the figures moment, he was moving so fast that the thugs were moving at slow motion to him... It was no spell, just pure speed.

The figure then moved forward and slugged each thug in the gut one by one and when he moved to the other side of them, they all dropped to the ground while the figure dusts off his hands while he looks conflicted as the barkeep came back out with some enchanted coal to keep it heat and a box to carry it in and was shocked at how fast this ended while he was confused when the figure speaks.

"Man… so much wasted movement, my master would be ticked by how bad I was… then again with guys this level, must have held myself back without realizing it… bad habit I guess…" The figure said while he moved to get some gold from the thugs to make up for the trouble and he walked to the counter with a smile.

"Better call the Fire guards and have them take these guys to jail or something, thanks for the food." The figure said while he takes the to go box and smiles at how full it was before he starts walking away with a hum to show his good mood.

The barkeep sweatdrops.

"No problem." He said before actually going to the phone and call the flame guards.

While that happened, the figure exits the building and removed his hood to show long blond hair, a muscular build with the thick muscles seen on the neck, and a few scars on a handsome face, though they were not getting in the way of his good looks… the hood was getting a bit stuffy in the heat.

"Now then… time to get an upgrade for my weapons before I pay that Princess of flames a visit to see if she needs a prince charming to rescue her." The figure said while he starts walking from the bar while flame soldier guards rushed the bar.

The figure hums while he keeps on walking on the road to the flame kingdom while somehow not getting burned at all by the heat…. This figure was Finn the human… fully grown at 18 years of age… the training he took from Demonga went well to grow him to what he was now and while he did curse Demonga's hellish training… well it was a bit therapeutic to beat some thugs like that, reminded him of how different he was since he was a kid and had an amused smile on his face while he had this thought.

"Hehe, gotta say, Dad was an ass but he did teach me well, maybe I should take his advice and pay a visit to my previous family to see how they are doing." Finn thought while he smiled more and while it was a shocker that Finn called Demonga, Dad, made sense with how well he raised Finn… not like he was tossing his old family away… far from it, he thought about them daily… one would think Finn would be worried when he thought of Joshua, Margaret, Jake, and Jermaine, but after a few years after his 10th birthday, he made a letter to his parents and had it delivered and though it took a bit… well while he didn't see them in person yet, he did get a letter back asking how he was doing and if he was going to visit… Finn wrote that he was not sure, but he did fill the letter in on what he learned and while he did regret leaving his old family… he also wrote that if Joshua was reading this, he wouldn't regret the journey, he wasn't a crybaby anymore and trained to grow into a real man that he would be proud of.

In fact, Finn sent a letter to them that after he paid a visit to the Fire Kingdom, he would come visit them to show how much he grown over the years.

Though while that happened, he went to the Fire Kingdom Castle, instead of sneaking in, he just walked to the front gate with a confident strut and was stopped by a few guards.

"Halt. What business do you have to come here?" One flame guard said.

"Hmm?... well I was planning on going to a certain blacksmith first but figured I could take a detour through the Castle and see if those rumors I heard about your princess being captive by your king is true, and before you say anything, no I'm not here to cause trouble, just wanted to see why and what not, if you want I can wait here to see if I have permission to enter… my name is Finn the human, hero of Ooo, you heard of me right?" Finn said while he smiles at the guards in a friendly way.

The guards blinked in surprise after hearing this.

"Seriously? You're the Finn the human?!" The second flame guard said.

"Yup, and again I can wait here while you let your king know I want to see his daughter to see if she really is captive or not, I'm not used to flame Kingdom customs so I was wondering if he had a reason for that." Finn said while he gave the guards an eyesmile and one of them questioned Finn's sanity when it seemed like Finn was asking for the captor to just let a stranger visit a random captive in a prison.

The Flame Guards looked at one another before they look at Finn.

"Um, wait right here." The third guard said before going inside the castle.

While that happens, Finn hums a tune while waiting and after a few minutes, the guard returned.

"The King says you may enter." The guard said while Finn gave the guards an eyesmile.

"Great, I can see the beauty up close and greet the king as well." Finn said while he walked into the castle like he owned the place.

as Finn gets further inside, the Flame Guards talked among themselves.

"Dude… that was really him." One of them said.

"Yeah… that monster in a humanoid form… wonder why he wanted to come here… you don't think…" The other guard said while the scene went to Finn while he walked through the castle and came upon the throne room of the Flame King and when he walked in, he saw many people in the room from nobles to many others who looked important and the most important flame person, the King of flames was sitting on his throne while he looked imposing as Finn heard with a frame of a small giant and had bulk to match though Finn just had a relaxed look while he looks at he King of flames and bowed lightly.

"Your highness, it is an honor to greet you in such swift fashion." Finn said respectfully since he could tell that unlike those thugs, the King of flames was no pushover.

"Yes. And it's a pleasure to meet you Finn the Human." Flame King said.

"Please, it's just an honor a lord of flames as strong as you knows my name, I just heard some rumors that I wanted to make sure were true or not and stopped by, took out some thugs in a good bar I know and maybe handle other matters here like… your daughter if she is being held unwillingly here… as a hero I hope you have a good reason for that… I know you Flame people are called evil by many but even evil people are not monsters enough to do this without reason… so… Flame King… is your daughter imprisoned and can you give me a reason not to attack you right now to free her?" Finn said while many looked shocked by Finn while the flame king just looks amused by what Finn said.

"Interesting… you come here because of a rumor and you think you try and pick a fight with me?" Flame King said.

Finn just gave the flame King a relaxed look.

"Of course, but only if the imprisonment is unjust, I am a hero after all and if your daughter is in any danger from you, I plan on taking you, and any guards you send my way out to do it… I'm just that stubborn and my training with my master gives me the skills to do so… you may think I'm bluffing but… the ignition point for normal flame people is 3 seconds to get them warmed up before they can launch an attack… trained flame people can cut that to 2… I heard you can fight before 1.5 seconds… in that time I can attack you three times from this spot before you can throw one punch… if you think I'm bluffing you can try me but I don't want political issues or bad blood so what will it take to at least consider freeing your daughter willing?, after all she is the princess no matter the circumstances and it would be a shame if a beauty like her wasted away in a lamp, I heard rumors she is just as beautiful, if not more so than your former wife who I heard passed on rather peacefully after birthing your child… I can pay my respects to her after this on her grave with some top quality flame liquor that many flame nobels would pay top dollar for… flame Hydra blood… a rare top ingredient of many flame based drinks that people here would kill for… so how about it your majesty… unlike many I am not bound by a normal home so I don't mind becoming a wanted man here but I would prefer a more… peaceful route… even evil beings like you know how to plan to use guys like me so why not try and use me for your own gain somehow?" Finn said while he gave the Flame King a kind smile like he was greeting an old friend instead of a possible enemy.

Flame King was thoughtful for a bit.

"Hmmm, interesting bargain Finn the human. And I be a fool to fight a man of your talents. So if you wish to free my daughter then I have one request."

"Alright, if its a test then I'll give it a shot, can't say I may pass or fail until I hear the request." was all Finn said with a smile on his face.

FK chuckled.

"The only thing I want you to do is… court my daughter."

"Hmmm… interesting, well I would have planned on taking her out on some dates first but I would need to speak with her to see what she is like… mind if I talk with her in private so she is not pressured to say anything?... I was trained to tell if things are forced or not." Finn said while he looks the Flame King in the eyes.

Flame King chuckled.

"Very Well then." He said before he looks at his guards.

"Lower the lamp." He said.

The guards nod before they moved to some elaborate looking levers and start to pull them and as they did so the lamp slowly lowered to the ground and Finn saw a bright flame emitting from the giant lamp that could hold the flame king a few times over.

"Bit overkill with a princess as sweet looking as this." Finn said when he saw a beautiful flame woman inside of it… she had a figure that looked perfect and add on to the fact that the dress she wore hid more of it, honestly for a moment, Finn was mesmerized by the sight though he quickly gets himself under control as a few guards moved to open some clasps on the bottom and the glass part of the lamp was quickly raised while the princess of flames was fully seen without any glass in the way.

The princess looks around before she looks at Finn.

"W-Who are you?" She said.

"Hmmm… well I would be subtle but considering the situation…" Finn said while he rubs his chin while he approached the princess.

"You could say I'm the white knight in those stories where the knight rescues the princess from the scary dragon… though in this case I just talked your dad into letting me court you if you will it… though after a few dates first to see if we get to know one another." Finn said while he smiled at the princess more.

The Flame Princess blinked when she heard that before blushing a bit.

"Y-You want to date me?"

"Well I won't lie, not at first but your beauty did take my breath away and I do want to get to know you know, try and not take it the wrong way, its just I originally came here to save you if the rumors were true, after all it would be strange that a princess would be held captive by her own father so what hero would I be if I don't try and aid you?" Finn said before he surprisingly takes Flame princess's hand and lightly kissed the top of it.

He then looks up with her with a calm smile while he was somehow not burned.

"Again, I apologize but my master always told me to be honest and Direct even if it may cause some issues unless a life is on the line… better to be honest then lie right?" Finn said before he lets go of the princess's hand.

The Flame Princess at first blushes receiving her first kiss… on her hand though.

"R-Right." She said.

"Indeed, did your father do anything to you besides locking you away?, you get the knowledge you need as the years go on?, doubt you would be able to do much there." Finn said while he lets go of Flame princess's hand.

"W-Well… He made sure I was educated by some tutors." The Flame Princess said.

"I see…. Well its nice to know, mind if I ask your name before we talk more?, my name is Finn the human if you couldn't hear the talk above." Finn said while he smiles at the princess more.

The Flame Princess's eyes widened when she heard that name.

"Y-You're really Finn? I've heard the maids tell stories about you and your heroics."

"Well, Well, if you heard about me... my heroics must be well known… unfortunately I would like to hear your name first so… your name please?, would be too formal if I kept calling you Flame princess after all… FP maybe but would still be an informal way of saying your title instead of your name." Finn said while he eyesmiles at FP.

FP blushes a bit before as she looks at Finn.

"Phoebe." Was all that she said.

"Nice name… hope you don't mind if I give a cute nickname already… Pheebs." Finn said while he winked at Phoebe.

Phoebe blushes brightly at the nickname as Flame King lowly chuckles at this.

Though before Finn or Phoebe could do much else, one of the knights, a seemingly bulky one in evil looking armor.

"Hey Milord, instead of giving the princess to a total stranger who had so many rumors about him, why not give your daughter to a guy with actual skills and merit like myself!" The Bulky knight said which didn't surprise Finn much while he kept quiet to see how the Flame King would react to the sudden challenge to Finn.

"Oh? And what can you do?" FK said with curiosity.

"Simple Milord!, I'll fight for your daughter's hand like a real flame person should!" The Knight said while smashing his armored fists together with a deep audible thud to show his strength while he eyed Finn… though part of his gaze went to Phoebe, thanks to his helmet his lustful gaze was hidden though the feeling of his gaze was pretty obvious.

Phoebe blinked at the look which made her feel a bit weird as FK looked thoughtful.

"Hmmm, very amusing that two warriors of their own caliber want my daughter's attention. What to decide." He said though he already made a decision.

"Finn the Human, do you accept this Knight's challenge for the right to court my daughter?"

Finn didn't seem fazed by that and he looks thoughtful.

"Depends… Phoebe… do you want me to fight for you?, your call on what happens." Finn said when he looks at Phoebe with a kind look since this was about her more or less.

Phoebe blinked at the question before weighing the pros and cons of this situation but deep down she did not want to be in that evil knight's clutches.

"Honestly, both of you are strangers to me but… I rather go with you than him." She said to Finn.

"Very well, and as for the stranger part I'll be more than happy to get to know you much later… for now… hey Flame King… I want a deal to make with you since your knight is picking a fight with me… I'll accept this fight no question but I want you to royal promise that Phoebe won't go in that lamp again… if you don't… I'll destroy it so it won't be used for a good long time." Finn said with a look that showed he was serious about breaking that glass prison right here and now even if FK declined.

FK however chuckled.

"Like I would squash my daughter's chance of freedom. But if you insist…" He said before raising his hand.

"I royal promise to not put Phoebe back in the lamp no matter what."

"Great…" Finn said when he looks at the knight when the Knight approached him on the low floor and Finn had Phoebe step back a bit.

"So… what would you do with Phoebe if you do win if I can ask." Finn said while he looks up at the goliliath… he was nearly twice as tall as Finn and just as bulky, not FK's level but damn close.

The Knight chuckled.

"Oh I have big plans for her." He said as he looks at Phoebe with the same lustfilled look which made Phoebe feel uncomfortable again.

"I see… well if you win, you get to do what you want… but I highly doubt that since I'll be walking away from here while I treat the princess with respect while a med team gets your body out of the floor… mainly your head when I smash it into the ground." Finn said like it was a promise while he looks up at the giant knight.

Phoebe was shocked when she heard that as the evil knight blinked a bit before he starts to laugh.

"Very funny kid."

"Well… if you think I'm bluffing, mind if I take the first shot then?" Finn said while he looks at what many around him would show the more obvious winner since the evil knight had armor and was twice Finn's weight class.

The evil knight smirked.

"Sure. hit me with your best shot." He said smugly.

"Alright." Finn said while he moved to remove his cloak… and to many peoples shock, Finn wore only a tank top and cargo pants and boots and some gloves which were removed to show scars galore on a powerful body… honestly Finn's body looked trained to absolute perfection and the tightness of the tanktop showed not a 6 pack but a freaking 8 pack and a moment later… Finn dropped the cloak and when it hits the ground… it cracked the ground shockingly enough while Finn looks at the knight with a calm look though he lost the smile to show he was getting serious now… though to Phoebe's shock… the muscles on Finn's back almost looked like a demon's face of sorts and he slowly walks towards the knight. (Baki reference, need to watch the newer series but long story short… this Finn is Ripped as fuck!... but not too bulky to keep his speed.)

Phoebe's eyes widened when she saw Finn's muscles which caused her to blush brightly as some of the maids gave the same reaction.

The evil knight scoffed.

"Not enough to hurt me brat."

All Finn did was smirk when he stopped in front of the Knight.

"Well see." Finn said before he threw a punch so fast and strong that it was not only missed by everyone but the smirking Flame King, the Knight was on his knees before he realized it and couldn't take a breath while a pain radiates from his gut which force him to lower his body to cover his now unarmored stomach while Finn had already raised a foot high into the air.

"And now to keep my promise… lets see if you live from this!" Finn growled before he slammed his foot down and the knight's head was embedded deep into the floor and he fell still while the ground cracked greatly from the impact of Finn's shockingly raw strength while his muscles bulge a little from the effort but went to normal and Finn steps back to look at the nights body.

"There… now the med team will have someone to tend to to keep them busy for awhile." Finn said while he was happy to keep this kind of promise.

Everyone else was just shocked when they witnessed Finn's strength as FK chuckles.

"Looks like Finn wins my daughter."

"Yup… anyone else want to step forward and try their hand?, I'll hold back a bit next time, I won't lie, was a bit angered at the disrespect this guy was giving the princess." Finn said while he walked to his heavy cloak and equipped it while the hood was still down so his head was still seen.

Some people gulped before they quickly shook their heads as they didn't want to be that guy.

"Hehe, I think they get the picture kid." FK said.

"Indeed, anyway your highness, I'll be talking with Phoebe in private so I can get to know the real her so she will be a bit, don't worry, she will be back before midnight." Finn said with an amused chuckle before he walks towards Phoebe.

Phoebe blushes a bit as FK was amused.

"Very well. Have fun you two. But not too much fun." He said.

"Hehe, right, see you later FK… come on Pheebs, might as well let your dad worry about repairs while we have a fun time in town." Finn said while he and Phoebe leave the room though one of the kings advisors walked to the Flame king.

"M-Milord… you sure thats wise?... while its true his strength is genuine… I heard rumors that he is already dating a few ladies… when asked about that he said its a custom where he is from but I've looked and while same gender romances are a thing… I haven't heard much about many lovers at once." The advisor said when he looks though a flame kingdom brand data tablet and showed some rumors on them to the Flame King.

Flame King blinked a bit when he heard that.

"Hmmm… perhaps this custom is from a secret village of sorts. Regardless if they're rumors or not, if Finn is dating multiple women then he must be doing something right to maintain those relationships so I'm sure he'll treat my daughter well. Besides, he might help her get stronger… maybe strong enough to overthrow me." He said with a smirk.

"Well… maybe sir but what of her unstable Matrix, even if she has trained there is a risk that she man endanger the planet, you did seal her highness in there in the first place for that after all." The Advisor said while he sounded worried.

FK was quiet for a moment.

"Correct you are. But I'm confident that Finn would get it fixed. If not him then maybe from someone who taught the boy how to fight."

"But sir… how would learning how to fight fix a unstable matrix that is made on the day of your birth?" The Advisor said with a curious tone to his voice while that question went unanswered for now while the scene went to Finn and Phoebe while they walked from the castle and into town while Finn had a smile on his face while Phoebe looked nervous for many reasons.

Phoebe looked around as she was marveled at the buildings in city since this was her first time seeing it after finally being free from the lamp.

Though when some people either waved or bow to Phoebe, Phoebe weakly waves back while feeling a bit nervous.

Not to mention she was having a walk with Finn.

Finn noticed that and smiles at her more.

"Don't worry, I won't have you do anything that you don't want to do, all we are doing is having a walk to this blacksmith that I know and we can come back to your home." Finn said while he had a smile on his face to try and help her relax.

Phoebe felt a bit relaxed after hearing that as she continues her walk with Finn.

For a bit, the duo keep on walking while Finn hums a small tune while he kept near Phoebe.

He did want to strike up a conversation though to break the tension so he looks at Phoebe.

"So… got any questions for me?" Finn asked while he keeps smiling gently at her.

Phoebe didn't know what to say at first since she was nervous considering she's with a big hero.

"U-Um well…" she tried to say but was able to ask this.

"I heard some of the maids mentioning some rumors that you um… are currently… courting other women… sorry if I pry… just wanted to know if it's true."

"Oh that?, Well… yeah I won't lie I'm seeing other ladies, they know about others and don't mind sharing me around or me getting other in my growing harem… it's a long story but thanks to how rare humans are, we need a way to repopulate so you get the custom thing… not sure off of Ooo but on Ooo, I can count the number of humans or former humans I recently know… another long story, point is if you feel offended by this I don't mind just making this as a one time walk out and escort you home and we can just start out as friends, you father gave a royal promise to not put you back in that lamp so you should be free now to do what you want." Finn said while he looks at Phoebe with a serious look on his face.

Phoebe was shocked after hearing that part of Finn having a harem.

"Well… I'm a bit shocked, I won't lie. But… I still would like to get to know you and stuff." She said as she lightly blushes.

Finn chuckles and placed a hand on Phoebe's shoulder.

"Well we can take things one after the other at a pace you are comfortable with, I won't force you into anything you don't want to do." Finn said while he led Phoebe down an alleyway and into a rather seedy part of the Fire kingdom where rough looking people were.

Phoebe was being cautious.

"W-Why did we walk through here?"

"Like I said, blacksmith I know, not the normal kind, you'll like him, guy doesn't distinguish between Regular people and Royals." Finn said while he keeps on leading Phoebe to a rather old building with an old sign that had words of a flame sage shockingly enough as the border to the sign.

Phoebe blinks as she saw the sign.

"He's a Fire sage?" She said.

"Nah… though rumors say he's descended from one, my order here should be done by now so…" Finn said while he lets go of Phoebe and held the door open for her.

"Milady." Finn said while he gestures for Phoebe to enter before him.

Phoebe couldn't help but giggle as she goes inside the room.

Finn followed a moment later and closed the door and saw Phoebe looking at plenty of display weapons with a curious look and saw that her eyes sparkled a bit while she admired the craftsmanship… not even the royal blacksmith had this kind of skill.

"So cool." Phoebe said as she marveled each one.

"Hehe, yeah, the Blacksmith is great if a bit eccentric." Finn said before he looks at the counter and approached it.

Once he was close to the counter, he looked around and called this.

"Hey Ayuyat, you there?" Finn called before Phoebe was shocked when she heard the foulest of mouths just now.

"Oh keep your fucking shit together I'm coming you fucking fuckwad!" The now angry sounding female voice said while a person was approaching.

Phoebe couldn't believe what she heard.

"Who speaks like that?" She said.

"Ayuyat that's who, better try and not get her attention, saw her attack a noble who talked down to her so unless you want to try your hand at fighting her, I wouldn't suggest it, she's like a wild beast." Finn said while a actual hammer was tossed at him and he used his reflexes to catch it with a relaxed look on his face while a flame person entered the room, she looked as tall as Finn, looked like she had scars on her flaming hands which showed her years of hard work and looked surprisingly beautiful as well while she had a rough look about her.

"Well screw you too Fuckinn!, keep that up and I may just toss you out of here with your damn weapons that my old man made or make you my bitch." Ayuyat said while she didn't show any fear when talking with Finn who just tossed the hammer back at Ayuyat and she caught it with surprising ease which was shocking thanks to how hard Finn threw it.

"Eh, just being honest here, you did make a scene with that nobleman after all." Finn said while he grins at Ayuyat who chuckles when she looks amused.

"Yeah well when the asshole thought he could force me to try and be his woman, I kicked his fucking ass harder then anyone else." Ayuyat said like she was proud of herself.

Phoebe was once again shocked when she heard Ayuyat speak like that.

'If there was a swear jar… she be rich.'

Ayuyat then looks at Phoebe and gave her a raised eyebrow.

"And who the fuck is this bitch?" Ayuyat said which caused Finn to chuckle.

"The Princess of Flames Phoebe, just got her out of that imprisonment from that lamp." Finn said while Ayuyat rolled her eyes.

"Ah, a damned damsel in distress then, well sweety, you better run along because this is no place for dainty women like yourself." Ayuyat said while she gave Phoebe the shoo shoo gesture with a hand.

Phoebe blinks a bit.

"I'm not dainty."

Ayuyat rolled her eyes and placed her arms on the counter.

"You were stuck in a damned glass lamp for who knows how long and up till now this fucker had to save your ass… if you ain't dainty then I don't know who is if a princess needs a man to save her sorry ass." Ayuyat bluntly said when she didn't give any respect for Phoebe right now.

Phoebe frowns.

"Excuse me? You don't know me so you don't have the right to be a jerk to everyone."

Though Ayuyat looked calm, Finn had to stop a blade from hitting Phoebe on the face when he used a sword blocking move with one hand and Ayuyat gave Phoebe a cold look while the blade was a few inches from Phoebe's face.

"Same to you princess… I don't like you noble types and you royals in the castle more so since my grandfather died to make that damned prison of yours when he overworked himself thanks to your dad and his orders that gave him no breaks… so believe me, I could be a lot more angry to you then I am now so don't push it." Ayuyat said while she lets go of the sword that she had and Finn went to examine it when it seemed this was his order or part of it… the sword was a one handed sword that had plenty of runes on the side and Ayuyat placed some metal gloves on the table a moment later.

Phoebe's eyes widened when she heard that.

"W-Wait… what?" She said.

"You got damned hearing problems princess?, I said my grandfather made that damned prison you were in and died doing it thanks to your dad's orders which kept him from taking many breaks, apparently he heard how dangerous you were at such a young age and didn't stop until you were not a threat, why else would that lamp contain you of all people?, you are one of the strongest flame people here and you never trained a day of your life so think of how out of control you could be as a easily out of control fucking baby… many were scared shitless if you haven't heard." Ayuyat said while Finn moved to equip the gloves after removing the ones he had on.

"T-That can't be true." Phoebe said though she had questioned herself on why she was in the lamp.

Is that the reason why she was in there?

Finn noticed the questioning look and chuckles.

"You don't need to worry on if Ayuyat is going to attack you or try and get you in that lamp, all her family did was make the thing, not put you in it, besides I heard Ayuyat was a baby at the time, same age as you when you were put in the lamp." Finn said while he used a few shadow boxing motions to test out a few punches.

Phoebe blinked a bit before she looks at Ayuyat.

"Look… I don't wish to be your enemy. I had just got my freedom after so long. Why don't we… put down any differences between us and try to get along."

Ayuyat smirks at that while she looks at Phoebe.

"You sure Princess?, My way of getting along with people normally involves some pretty rough tier 15 action and I doubt a virgin like you could take it… fuck Finn and I have a deal so that if he is close with the cash but is missing some coin, he can… help me relax… guys hung like you wouldn't believe so even if he is pansy ass gentle it would still be a rough ride for you later." Ayuyat said with an amused tone to her voice while she keeps smirking at Phoebe.

Phoebe blinks a few times in surprise after hearing that which caused her to blush brightly before glancing at Finn.

Finn looks at Phoebe with a smile on his face.

"Well I won't lie, she and I had a few run ins, helped when I was trying to save some gold here and there." Finn said while Ayuyat looks amused by this.

Phoebe was again surprised after hearing that.

"S-Seriously?" She said.

"What?, you want to see proof?, damn might as well call you the fucking perverted princess and just give you a show here with me on the counter and Finn fucking my brains out." Ayuyat said while she smirked at Phoebe in a teasing way.

Phoebe quickly shook her head while blushing brightly.

"N-No no. I'm good."

"Hehe, your loss princess, would have been a kinky show." Ayuyat teased while she had a amused look in her eyes.

Phoebe blushes more before she averted her gaze and looks at Finn.

"I-I'm gonna... look at the other weapons." She said before she actually did go look but was to also avoid the awkwardness.

"Hehe, talk about a nice shy princess, seems you need to break her out of that shell huh Fuckinn?" Ayuyat said while Finn just looks amused.

"Considering you didn't attack more, guess you don't mind Phoebe huh?, as for the breaking out of her shell thing, that would be later when she is not so nervous, can't force her after all." Finn said while he looks at Phoebe who was looking at other weapons.

Ayuyat chuckles.

"Whatever you say. But hey, better to just rip the bandaid off now then later."

"True but in this case this lady may need first aid rather than a band-aid if the other rumors about her are true… hear kissing and what not could make her explode so might as well see if I can't… cure her before I work my real magic." Finn said while he got a sheath from Ayuyat when Finn liked the blade.

"Hehe right." Ayuyat said with an amused look as Phoebe didn't hear what the duo said.

"Right, anyway I'll be going now since I made the payment in advance, I'll see you later Ayuyat if I need new weapons and if I need a good time later." Finn said while he winked at Ayuyat before he starts to leave the building after getting Phoebe's attention.

Phoebe lightly waved by to Ayuyat before leaving as Ayuyat chuckles.

"Oh I'll definitely see you later Finn."

As the two left the Blacksmith, Finn chuckles a bit while he pats his sword with his metal covered hands.

"Ah, feels good to have a sword again, how you doing Pheebs?, Ayuyat didn't scare you did she?" Finn said while he keeps his calm demeanor.

Phoebe rubs her arms a bit.

"Well… not that much but… she could lessen her use of… curse words."

"Eh but that's part of her charm, she's honest about what she does and can be trusted to hold a deal, if you need help, try going to her for help, issues aside she is not heartless." Finn said while he smiles gently at Phoebe.

Phoebe was a bit cautious.

"Well… if you trust her then I guess I can give her the benefit of the doubt."

"Great, though you may owe her one if a princess as tough as you needs help so don't expect to walk right after she has her fun." Finn teased while he lightly nudged Phoebe on the shoulder a few times.

Phoebe blushes brightly after hearing that.

"I-I'll keep that in mind."

Finn chuckles more before the duo got near the entrance to the castle and Finn stopped and remembered something.

"Oh yeah… here in case you are hungry." Finn said when he summoned one of the enchanted coals to his hand and held it out for Phoebe to take.

Phoebe blinked a bit before she took the coal and was a bit nervous before taking a bite of the coal.

To her surprise, she felt a burst of energy and the coal tasted really good.

"T-This coal is delicious. What did you do to it?" Phoebe said.

"Nothing much, just got it at this bar I know, they like to cook their coal with magic so not surprising you don't know about it." Finn said while he smiles as Phoebe nibbles on the coal to try and make it last as long as possible.

"Well it's really good." Phoebe said as she continues to savor the coal.

Finn chuckles while he walked Phoebe to the entrance of the castle and some guards wait for her.

"Well next time you and I should go there if there can be an official first date, consider this walk and what not just a way to help you relax after a stressful day and for you to enjoy the freedom you now have now you are out of that lamp." Finn said while he took Phoebe's free hand and kissed it again.

When he pulled away, he looks at Phoebe while he had a calm look on his face.

"Anyway I should get going now so I don't… overstimulate you or something, need to head back to Ayuyat and give this extra coal to her so she can give it to her old man, forgot to give it to her earlier." Finn said while he rubbed the back of his head with a nervous look which showed he honestly forgot.

"Right. Guess I'll… see you later?" Phoebe said as she lightly blushes.

"Indeed, but don't worry milady, I'll make sure to visit as much as I can so you won't feel lonely… until then…" Finn said before he kissed Phoebe on the forehead gem.

He then pulled away with a smile on his face.

"That will have to do for now as a reminder of our time." Finn said before he lets go of Phoebe and he starts to walk away from the princess of flames.

Phoebe was blushes brightly after she felt her forehead getting kissed which made her heart flutter as she watches the human leave.

A moment later she was escorted into the castle and Finn went back to Ayuyat's and when he entered he saw her at the counter.

"Hey Ayuyat, came back after I got Phoebe back home, forgot to give your old man this so figured I stop by and give my thanks for the weapon, though if he is asleep, I can just hand this to you and leave." Finn said while he walked to the counter and held the special coal for Ayuyat to take.

Ayuyat hums a bit.

"Well unfortunately, pops is taking a snoozer."

"I see… we could pass the time in a fun way If you are not busy but if you are I can see you later." Finn said while he smiles a bit at Ayuyat.

Ayuyat chuckled.

"Oh no fucking way you're leaving. Besides, it's very slow right now."

"Alright, the closed sign in the usual place?" Finn said while he smirked at Ayuyat more.

"Hehe, you know it." Ayuyat said while grinning.

This caused Finn to walk to the front door and after he used the sigh to say closed for today, he turns around and smirks when he saw Ayuyat sitting on the counter and getting ready to remove her blacksmith outfit.

"About fucking time I get to remove this." Ayuyat said before with the snap of her fingers, her clothes disappeared.

That showed a well toned and pretty sexy body with perky B to C cup breasts, wide but toned hips, and Ayuyat had muscles in all the right places thanks to her blacksmith training.

Finn chuckles before he used a spell to store his clothing away and he stood in front of Ayuyat in the nude and he had no observable fat on his body while scars littered the rest of his seen bod and had a perfectly trained bod from head to toe while he had a long 12 inch cock that was 3 in width, it wasn't erect yet but would be soon.

Ayuyat licked her lips.

"Time to make some fucking noise."

"Oh There will be but first… spread those legs and let's get you really warmed up shall we?" Finn said while he got a lustful look in his eyes when he approached Ayuyat.

Ayuyat grins before doing just that as she spread her legs and shows Finn her folds.

Finn then knelt in front of Ayuyat and was instantly eating her out in no time flat, he knew she didn't mind gentle but in this case, the rougher the better.

"Oh fuck." Ayuyat groans as she was already enjoying this pleasure.

For a bit, Finn keeps on going with his actions and he used a finger to tease Ayuyat's asshole to show what he would do next.

Ayuyat groans again before she grins at the human.

"Do it."

Finn had no issues with that when he shoved his finger up Ayuyat's asshole and starts to finger the tight hole while Finn moved to suck on Ayuyat's bud.

"Oh shit!... that's the ticket." Ayuyat groans a bit loud as she was really enjoying having her holes licked and played with.

Finn keeps this up for a bit while he adds a second finger to Ayuyat's asshole and used his tongue to really eat out Ayuyat when he licked deep in her folds and could feel her getting close as time went on.

Ayuyat groans again before she starts to moan as her toes curled a few times as Ayuyat was really enjoying this.

Finn keeps this up while he could feel Ayuyat getting closer and closer while his cock was iron hard and keeps on pleasing Ayuyat until…

Ayuyat groans a bit loudly as she tossed her head back as she climaxed on Finn's tongue.

Finn closed his eyes and lapped up any juices that hit his tongue and waits for Ayuyat to ride out her orgasm.

It took a bit before Ayuyat taps off after 15 seconds and pants a bit.

Finn pulled his head back and chuckles when he saw how hard Ayuyat was panting.

"Hehe, seems that practice helped me greatly, haven't seen you pant like a bitch in a long time." Finn said when he talked dirty to Ayuyat to get her worked up.

Ayuyat blinked a bit before chucking.

"Careful or else I'll show you who's a true bitch."

"Would be interesting but first…" Finn said while he points at his cock.

"Get my cock lubed up so we can see who comes out on top." Finn said while he gave Ayuyat a grin while his cock throbbed a few times in excitement.

Ayuyat licks her lips before a moment later, she was on her knees and was immediately sucking Finn's cock hard as she bobs her head back and forth.

Finn groans from that and he used a hand to pet Ayuyat's head, he did it between the rock like horns that she had on her head since they were a trait of hers… bit impressive to boot considering how they naturally grew from her head, most flame people were either fire like Phoebe, or a mix of rock and fire like some flame people and Ayuyat had that trait but it was mainly on the stone like horns on her head… perfect for handlebars in this situation but Finn would use that later.

Ayuyat didn't mind or likely care of the petting as she gave Finn's cock some powerful sucking before using her hands to play with his balls.

This really caused Finn to groan while his cock was taken deeper and deeper into Ayuyat's mouth before she starts to gag when she deepthroats it in no time.

Even though Ayuyat gagged, she still kept going before she uses her tongue to roughly lick Finn's dick including the tip.

Finn grits his teeth and couldn't fight the urge and used his hands to grip Ayuyat's horns and he starts to face fuck her in no time which left her hands free to do whatever.

Ayuyat gags and groans from that action but didn't care as she likes it when Finn goes rough with her as Ayuyat uses her hands to play with Finn's balls more.

This went on for a bit with Finn pretty much making Ayuyat's head his fucktoy and a few minutes later while giving her time to breathe every now and then, Finn roars when he pulled Ayuyat's head in and came hard down her throat with great force and his load stung her on the way down to her stomach.

Ayuyat muffly groans from the stinging feeling as she gags a few times while waiting for Finn to tap off.

When he did tap off with a groan, he lets go of Ayuyat's head and smiles at her while she was trying to recover from that while her body burned away the sperm in her stomach.

"F-Fuck… Once you again you still pour out a large load." Ayuyat said with a smirk.

"Hehe, all the more to make you squeal with when I fill those holes of yours." Finn said with his own smirk while his cock was iron hard even after all that.

Ayuyat chuckled.

"Shut it and let's get to fucking."

Finn couldn't agree more when the scene went to a moment later to show Ayuyat while she had her hands on the counter and Finn fucked her pussy hard and fast while he had his hands on her ass and was merciless in his thrusts which caused his cock to smash into Ayuyat's womb again and again.

"O-Oh fuck yeah!" Ayuyat groans as she was enjoying having her pussy fucked hard.

Finn didn't say anything when he continues to fuck Ayuyat, he even smacked her ass hard enough to leave her already glowing ass a bit redder when Finn started to abuse her ass with his smacks.

Ayuyat groans loudly as she feels her ass getting spanked.

"Harder!" She demanded.

Finn did as told and smacked Ayuyat's ass to really make it hurt while he keeps on fucking her while a bulge formed in Ayuyat's womb again and again as time goes by.

Ayuyat's face looked very pleased as she was moaning loud with her tongue sticking out as her pussy tightens around Finn's dick a few times.

After a couple minutes, Finn fucked Ayuyat more and more before he pushed his cock balls deep into Ayuyat's pussy and snarls when he unloads right into her heated womb and his sperm quickly filled her in no time with stinging force.

Ayuyat throws her head back and moans very loud with ecstasy as she climaxed hard on Finn's cock.

For a bit the duo ride out their orgasms while Finn growls from how hot Ayuyat was before he tapped off with a groan.

Ayuyat taps off as well as she enjoys a bit of the afterglow.

"F-Fuck… Y-You trying to… knock me the fuck up Finn?" She teased.

"H-Hehe… would be interesting to see if that happens, would give me some experience with getting a fire elemental woman pregnant." Finn said while he pats Ayuyat's ass a few times.

Ayuyat blinked a bit before she chuckles.

"Yeah well good fucking luck with that but not ready for motherhood."

"Never said I would rush that but if it happens, I don't mind being responsible and making you one of my ladies, remember the deal?, You said and I quote… *if a well hung fucker like you takes responsibility and help me raise a kid, don't care if you have other sluts on the side, just make sure to visit every week or so or so help me I'll drag you by the fucking balls back here.*... Did I get that right or was I off?" Finn said while he gave Ayuyat an amused look while he pulled his cock free of Ayuyat's pussy to give her a moment to recover.

Ayuyat lightly pouts.

"Yeah… but don't get fucking cute when you quote what I said."

"Hehe, never tried to be, anyway unless you want to end things now, I suggest you get a position so I can fuck that tight ass of yours." Finn said with a dominating look in his eyes at the later bit.

Ayuyat grins before she was on her hands and knees with her ass pointed at Finn.

Finn smirks when he got behind Ayuyat and after placing his hands on her ass, he aimed his cock at her asshole and fucked gentle and just shoved his cock up Ayuyat's ass hard and somewhat painful while Finn had a smirk on his face.

Ayuyat groans from the immediate penetration but didn't mind the pain.

Finn then pulled his hips back and with his dickhead still in Ayuyat's ass, he starts to thrust away roughly while his cock bashed into Ayuyat's ass again and again while he used a hand to smack Ayuyat's other ass cheek hard to give it the same rough treatment that she enjoyed earlier.

"F-Fuck yeah! Keep doing that!" Ayuyat groans before she thrusts her hips to meet with Finn's thrusts.

Finn snarls when he keeps on fucking Ayuyat's ass and keeps on smacking her ass while he could feel Ayuyat's orgasm approaching as time went on while Finn keeps fucking the stone horned flame person while he wondered what she thought right now.

'F-Fuck!... this is just what I wanted. None of the pussies I see can top that. Funny, I'm actually thinking of being Finn's woman if he keeps giving me the good stuff.' Ayuyat thought as she was moaning and groaning loudly.

For a bit, Finn keeps on going while he could feel Ayuyat about to climax on his cock after a few minutes of straight fucking and could feel her getting closer and closer and Finn couldn't hold it anymore before he pushed his cock balls deep into Ayuyat's ass and roars when he came hard in Ayuyat's ass with great force, filling her stomach so much that her stomach bloats a little as time went on.

Ayuyat groans loudly before she climaxed hard as her ass squeeze Finn's dick as it tries to milk it for more cum.

For a bit, Finn keeps on riding out his orgasm before he tapped off with a groan and pulled his cock free of Ayuyat's ass and watched as his load leaked from Ayuyat's ass at a slow rate.

Ayuyat groans before tapping off as well before shuddering when she feels Finn's load leaking out as she enjoys the afterglow for a bit.

Finn rubbed his forehead when he had some sweat on it and wiped it off while he grins as he admired his handiwork.

"So… you satisfied now my dear Blacksmith?" Finn said while he had an amused look on his face.

Ayuyat lightly blushes after hearing that last part before chuckling as she looks at Finn.

"Not even close." She said while grinning.

Finn looks amused before the scene went to MUCH later with Finn exiting the blacksmith shop while Finn was dressed and in a good mood before he looked back and called into the shop.

"I made sure to lock the door so it will lock when I leave, sorry for the mess Ayuyat, hope this helped you relax and try and give your old man the coal I got him." Finn said while he closed the door… and the camera turned to show a exhausted and dazed Ayuyat while sperm boils in her and on her while she twitched on her counter which acted like a bed for her groaning, moaning, and twitching body.

"F-Fuck…" Was all Ayuyat said as she was now very pleased.

She passed out soon after and the scene went to Finn while he left the Fire Kingdom but not before he got some coal and stopped by a certain flambit near the edge of the fire kingdom when he stopped by a certain large rock.

"Hey Flambo, you here?, Got some coal for you." Finn said while he shakes the coal a bit to give audible rattling of sorts so the coal could be heard.

That's when you see a small Flambit jump on the rock.

"Heya Finn. How's it going?" Flambo said.

"Hehe, pretty good, that info you gave me on Phoebe really was legit, got her old man to let her go and give her freedom move around, even got him to royal promise to put her in that lamp again so I doubt he can imprison her easily, also showed her Ayuyat's blacksmith and brought her home before I went back to Ayuyat for a good time, anyway here, you earned this since this new flame resist spell worked like a charm, it's like I don't even need to use a flame shield anymore after I helped find you that rare spell ingredient, granted I learned a heat lowering spell for a skintight heatshield but this really saves me energy and ingredients." Finn said with a relaxed grin as he passed Flambo the large bag of coal while explaining how he was able to move around in the Fire kingdom without issue and not get burned.

Flambo was surprised.

"Well that's great to hear Finn. I never stirred yous wrong." He said before he grabbed a coal and starts to eat it.

"I don't know… you did get me sent into that woman's hot spring and nearly killed by an angry mob." Finn said with an amused look on his face before he starts to walk away from Flambo while he enjoyed the coal.

"One time Finn!" Flambo said before he took another coal.

"Whatever, was interesting on how I got out of that one, anyway I'll see you later Flambo, I'm heading home for now, you know how to contact me there if you need me." Finn said while he waved goodbye to Flambo while amused Flambo waved goodbye to Finn though couldn't speak thanks to his stuffed face.

Meanwhile after Finn found a certain boulder…

He found a certain spot on it and after using some energy, many symbols appeared and Finn vanished in a flash of light before he was in a familiar place with many people walking by him from humanoids to human like beings with animal traits… though he heard a certain set of footsteps and braced himself when he was hugged from behind.

"Finn!, Your back!" A familiar female said while she rubbed her face on Finn's shoulder which caused him to look at her… she really matured over the years and was just as shapely as her shapely mother and just as toned thanks to her training, she had longer hair/quills then her mom by preference and she wore fingerless gloves, a small tank top and shorts which was revealing which got the eyes of many with how cute she looked.

Finn blushes before he chuckles.

"H-Hey Ruby. It's great to see you too."

Ruby giggles while she lets go of Finn and gave him a teasing smirk.

"So… how was Ayuyat?, Pretty intense I bet?" Ruby teased thanks to her enhanced sense of smell easily getting Ayuyat's sent on Finn's body.

Finn chuckles a bit.

"Very intense." He said with a smirk.

"Yeah well invite me next time you go to her, can't have you get a new bitch without me of all ladies knowing… I am your girlfriend after all and see you the most out of those other ladies." Ruby teased when she gave Finn a fanged grin… seems over the years, Finn somehow became Ruby's boyfriend and was cool with the harem thing… must be that pack thing from her wolf side of things.

Finn rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh I would never do things without you Ruby. Besides I was seeing Ayuyat to make sure if her father finished the items I requested and it seems she gave this a quick touch-up with some sharpening." Finn said when he showed his sword and the metal gloves on his hands while Ruby hums.

"I see… and the scent of her juices on this cock don't belong to her?" Ruby said while she gave Finn an amused look.

"Hehe, well figure I give her a nice stress relief. Speaking of, met the Princess of Fire Kingdom." Finn said.

"Really?, Well heard rumors that you helped her recently… and took her on a date… maybe I should get ready to meet another Royal and a possible playmate?" Ruby with a grin on her face… she really was pretty open more or less… Lillum influence most likely.

Finn chuckles.

"No, haven't court her… yet. But was able to get Phoebe, which is her name, free by making her father do a royal promise to not put her back in that lamp prison and I beat a guy who thought he was gonna win her. That sicko. Besides, I need to make sure to take things slow with Phoebe since I heard of her unstable matrix."

"Yeah, heard she is unstable… well if push comes to shove, bring her here and we can alter her to be a hybrid of some sorts, could fix her matrix as a side effect but we're still making headway in elemental beings being hybridized… anyway Finn, Uncle Demonga called for you to head to the training room if I saw you so better get that sexy ass down there so your old man doesn't kick it hard if he has to hunt you down again." Ruby said before she kissed Finn on the lips to wish him luck and pulled away with a fanged grin on her face while she gave Finn a gesture to get walking.

Finn lightly blushes before grinning back.

"Might as well. Hopefully I'll see you later." He said before grabbing Ruby's ass and squeezed them.

Ruby jolts and growled at Finn in a lustful way.

"Careful Finn, I may not be able to take you fully in sex but I'm getting there and I can keep you enough to get your dad annoyed enough to come looking for you… save it for after training so I can… help you relax this time… need to talk to Frost and Rose anyway, heard they were talking about a new lady for you… someone by the name of Huntress Wizard and her being a tough but to crack even for Frost and Rose shockingly enough." Ruby said before she starts walking away with her swaying ass to tease Finn quite a bit.

Though Finn grins as he looks at his girlfriend's ass, he was intrigued about that Huntress woman before he starts heading to Demonga.

When he did so, he waved to a few friends he made here and as he was walking, he walked by the tech area and he saw a slightly older Shunpei working on some kind of two wheeled vehicle and Shunpei noticed Finn.

"Oh, welcome back Finn, how was the trip to the Fire Kingdom?, Heard from Emerald's spy network that you freed the princess of the fire kingdom recently." Shunpei said while he smiles at Finn, he acted like a big brother to Finn during the years and was a pretty good person to talk too with advice so Finn normally came to him about mental troubles and the items he made Finn over the years came in handy like a multi purpose grappling hook, it use Finn's energy to latch onto things and since it had a battery for the charge, it didn't exhaust Finn so it was a pure benefit and that was just one example of Shunpei's technical prowess.

"Oh yeah. Pretty cute as well. But gonna make sure to take it slow." Finn said.

"Good, good, all good relationships are best built slow, just like you did with Ruby, Frost, and Rose, hehe, man Emerald was pissed back then… good thing you got his respect after that fight but I remember you saying unless Emerald was weakened you wouldn't want to fight him again even if you were at your absolute strongest." Shunpei said before he chuckles when he remembered that day and how shaky Finn was when he barely beat Emerald and boy was that a close fight… most of Finn's scars were because of Emerald so that was most likely a reason for the hesitation to fight Ruby's father.

Finn shudders at the memory.

"R-Right… Good thing I won and now I'm in a happy relationship with my beautiful girlfriend."

"Yeah, barely, Emerald normally doesn't let guys win when it comes to his little girl so you must have earned his respect at the time… anyway if you are passing by, hope you can't wait a minute, got a new gadget if you want to test it out later, should be handy for quick bursts of speed and in a fight." Shunpei said while he grins at the excited look in Finn's eyes, new gadgets normally mean fun times for Finn.

Finn was intrigued when he heard that.

"Well dad needed to see me but what the hey?, Let's see it." He said.

"Great, say hello to the sliding shoes, placeholder name but that's the least of the issues here." Shunpei said before she pulled out a pair of shoes that had odd bits on the bottom and looked cybernetic.

"Wow, so when I put these on, I can be as fast as I want?" Finn said as he looks at shoes.

"Well no, it's more like… you glide across the ground on your feet, you know what a skateboard is Finn?" Shunpei said when he wondered if Finn knew about the item or not, it was a rare item to find nowadays.

Finn was thoughtful for a bit.

"Um… I believe I remember seeing some kids finding those. I wanted to try it but my mom wouldn't let me since I was too young… plus it was dangerous."

"Well you could think of them as the more dangerous version then hehe, try them on and I'll explain how they work, trust me this will be worth it." Shunpei said while he sets the shoes in front of Finn.

"Hmmm, okay." Finn said before a moment later, he was now wearing the shoes.

"Alright, there are two ways to turn them on, first you tap your tip of the toes on the ground and the second way is if you slapped your feet together in the air for a moment like you are giving a salute in the air so to speak, anyway just click your feet together and get ready for the fun… bit of a tip, get ready to feel like you will be standing on balls of air in a moment." Shunpei said with a grin on his face.

Finn nods his head before he clicked his feet together.

A moment later, the shoes glowed before Finn starts to rise in the air and it did feel like he had to balance himself when he felt like he was standing on tiny balls made of air… that had a glimmer like effect under him?

"Okay… So far so good." Finn said as he tries to keep himself in balance.

"Yeah… still working on the balance but it gets better in motion, try leaning forward and to the side like you are on a skateboard to move forward and lean back to slow down to a stop." Shunpei said while he had an excited look on his face.

"Alright." Finn said before he starts leaning forward.

A moment later, Finn starts to move around the room at a slow pace and when he moved further, he glides across the ground at a fast rate and was able to slip by a few people with ease… it was like surfing more or less on the air above the ground. (TME note:If no one got the reference, this is the air gliding from KHII wisdom drive form ability.)

"Slamacow! This is awesome." Finn said.

Shunpei grins when he watched Finn enjoy himself for a bit and when Finn came back, he looked like an excited kid.

"These shoes are great Shunpei." Finn said with an excited look.

"Thanks, happy early 19 birthday Finn, Xan had me make these as a birthday gift and it's also a prototype of a soon to be line of shoes for all ages and professions, kids can skate on them, fighters can travel at high speed and save their strength, this will change the world once all the kinks are worked out, they charge with actual motion so the more you walk the more energy they got so perfect for an active guy like you hehe." Shunpei said while he pats Finn on the back, he may not be stronger then Finn but all the work Shunpei did with machinery gave him some muscles here and there.

"Well I love them." Finn said with a smile.

"Good, would have been ticked if they were not extreme enough for you hehe, have any of my gadgets let you down?" Shunpei asked though he knew the answer already.

"Pfft… please. I doubt anything you made has let anyone down." Finn said.

"Well…" Shunpei said when he remembers one thing but shrugged it off.

"Still that's in the past, for now you better get going or Demonga will really let you have it during training or worse… try and have fun with a few ladies you got here who are not Ruby, Frost, or Rose." Shunpei said while he grins at Finn with one possible issue which would get him in gear.

Finn's eyes widened after hearing that.

"Oh snap! I better get going." He said before he starts using the new shoes.

"I'll give them back later Shunpei!" He said as he exits the room.

Shunpei rolled his eyes while he moved Finn's old boots out of the way.

"Like I said Finn, it's a birthday gift, no need to bring them back unless repairs or upgrades are needed." Shunpei said while the scene went to Finn who moved along the ground at speeds that would tire him out if he ran at full force and felt great since he could avoid people and not feel tired, this would be perfect for getting around and keeping in top shape.

'Wow, with these shoes, I can avoid any obstacle or people. Plus I'll be able to meet dad at a good pace.' Finn thought.

While that happened, Finn managed to get to the training level in no time and though he was a few minutes late, he was in a pretty good mood right now as he enters… though he had to raise his arms in a cross guard when a powerful kick slammed down on his arms and forced him to one knee and a voice was heard.

"You're late boy." Was all the voice said which told Finn who it was in no time while the pressure on his arms intensify.

"S-Sorry dad. Shunpei wanted to show me his new gadget." Finn said after groaning from the kick.

Demonga, whose appearance didn't change much aside from a scar that sealed his left eye shut, scoffed and did a quick jumping kick and knocked Finn into the room.

"Then make up for that waste of time and show me you haven't slacked off on your training, I heard you fought a fire guard at the fire kingdom… pretty pathetic you didn't shatter his skull with one blow." Demonga said while he crossed his arms… during training he was like the strictest drill sergeant and that's saying something and when Finn got to his feet, his side that was kicked ached and he felt like collapsing, that was how strong the kick was from Demonga.

"Maybe, but it teaches that flame guard a serious lesson on not to underestimate your opponent. Still won either way." Finn said before he charged at Demonga.

Demonga then smirks before he and Finn start to fight, contrary to how stern Demonga was, he was pretty proud of Finn for not only showing what he can do, he also pretty much did it in a way to show that even kingdoms shouldn't mess with him… all in all… he would let the tardiness slide this time since he did give a warning about being late to the training, Finn had plenty of time to goof around but training was like a way to bond and though Demonga was stern, it was worth it and as Demonga used many moves to try and one up Finn in hand to hand, Finn had his thoughts on how things would be if he never left Joshua and Margeret to try and find out who he really was… he would never have met Demonga at the Inn… he wouldn't have become friends and family to the many people here in this hidden base… and he wouldn't be in a relationship with many women, especially Ruby since she was pretty much Finn's best friend and first girlfriend… who knows what would happen but all in all… would Finn be as strong as he was now if he stayed at his old home?... would he still find plenty of romance and answers?... hard to say…

'Funny, if I had stay with my adoptive family, I wouldn't be this strong and I probably wouldn't have a great girlfriend like Ruby. I may regret leaving my family years ago, but I'm glad that I did.' Finn thought as he continued his spar with Demonga.

Though it sounded heartless, it was far from that since Finn thought about Joshua, Margaret, Jake, and Jermaine… he would send a letter and visit soon so he could face the music if they were angry with him… for now the scene fades to black on this day as Finn and Demonga continue to spar to try and beat one another.
