Hey again guys, and yes I know it hasn't been too long since my last update for "Flames of the Heart." You know I am really hoping people like how this story turns out, and by the way you know how I posted chapter 2 on May 14? Guess what? …I posted chapter 2 on my birthday. I will admit that I do have a poll on my profile for Soldiers of the Skies, but once it's done I'll post a poll for this story too. By the way I sent one guy that reviewed chapter two a question, and I'm still waiting on an answer.

Sage of Wisdom: I asked you if you actually thought I'd make the crown's influence stronger than that of the Lich.

Everyone knows that Finn can resist the Lich, so if he can do that there is nothing that can destroy him. Besides Martin anyway.

Anyway I actually did think about doing what another person asked when they reviewed chapter 1. They asked me to make this a FinnXMarcelineXFlame Princess fic. Once my Soldiers of the Skies poll is done I'll make one asking my fans to decide. I won't allow you to vote in reviews because I made that same mistake in Naruto Rise of the Ryukage and the Omnigan. Votes done in reviews can be too hard to keep track of. I will also start work on updating either Return of the Uzumakis redone, or A Queen's Love. I work on Flames of the Heart between other story updates. Honestly I've been way happy since I finished the Spring Semester at college because I have the whole summer off. That means until I study for the fall semester I am FREE! Free to goof off, free to play video games, and most of all free to work on my fanfiction.

Anyway…

I don't own Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, and neither do all the other people that write Adventure Time fanfics, otherwise someone would've made the Lich Finn's father in the show.

The Ice Prince Cometh

Marceline was flying across the grasslands to Flame Princess' house to tell her what she had found out, with tears falling at the thought of what happened to Finn.

"I can't believe that Finn is taking every influence from the crown into himself from Simon." Mary began her train of thought. "I mean I would give anything to get back the man that was like a father to me, but not at the cost of Finn." She finished as she began crying not knowing that she had already arrived at FP's house.

Said princess heard something outside her house, and when she opened the door she was shocked to see a weeping Marceline.

"Marcy what's wrong?" Flame Princess asked as she helped the vampire inside.

"Well I have found out that something big is happening to Finn." Marcy said between breaths.

"What is happening Marceline?" FP asked.

"Remember when I told you about Simon Petrikov?" Marcy asked only to receive a nod.

During their affair Flame Princess learned everything Marcy could tell about the former human that had been like a father to her for most of her childhood before he was completely consumed by the crown. As well as Simon's fiancé coming from 1,000 years in the past to be with him.

"Well it turns out that Betty found a way to free Simon while retaining a bit of the immortality from the crown." Marcy told her flaming lover.

"Marcy that's wonderful news since you'll get back the man that raised you for a good portion of your childhood." FP said with a smile.

"Having Simon back will be terrible if the cost is the crown taking Finn like it took Simon!" Marceline shouted before crying again.

"W-what did you say?" FP asked stunned.

"The one only way for Simon to be freed was to have someone else take on the curse of the crown, and Princess Bubblegum said Finn volunteered without hesitation." Marceline said.

This information stunned Flame Princess worse than when Finn caught her and Marceline making out.

"We've got to try and stop Finn!" FP exclaimed before hurrying to the candy kingdom with Marceline following.

{Ice crown mindscape}

Finn the human awake and looked around seeing a frozen wasteland far worse than the Ice Kingdom.

"Where am I?" Finn asked.

"You're inside the crown, Finn." Said a voice from behind the boy causing him to turn.

Once he turned he saw Simon and the Ice King standing side by side.

"Wait Simon? Ice King?" Finn began and got nods from the two. "How are you both in here?" He asked only for them to shrug.

"I do, however, know what happened outside the crown thanks to Ice King, and Finn I can't help but be worried for you since you are one of the last two humans in Ooo." Simon said.

"Yeah Finn, Simon told me what we were both like and how I was a consciousness born from the crown, and I am more terrified for you than when the Lich possessed PB." Ice King said shaking a little.

"And terrified you should be foolish little Ice Wizard." Said a voice that came from all directions before a blizzard formed.

"What's going on?!" Finn asked.

"I know why you're here Finn the human." The voice began. "You seek to free Simon while allowing him to retain a little of my immortality while you take on my power." The voice continued. "Since I know that your will is too powerful for my influence unlike that weakling Simon, I shall just duel you and take your body for myself." The voice finished as the blizzard formed an eight foot tall ice warrior armed with a large six foot broadsword and a shield of ice, and atop his head rested the crown of the Ice King.

"This creature must be the embodiment of the crown's own consciousness." Simon said intrigued.

"Smart as always Simon, however, while you are smart your will is weak which allowed me to take over you." The crown began. "At least I am guaranteed a challenge from the boy you would always fail to kill, but Finn I would like to make a wager." The crown finished.

"What sort of wager?" Finn asked the warrior while summoning his grass sword from his wrist.

"Ah dear boy you ready yourself for battle and our bet." The crown spoke.

However, as the crown spoke the trio became confused.

"The wager is simple Finn if you defeat me then not only is Simon freed with partial immortality, but you will have free reign over the powers within me and control over your own mind." The crown began. "Do we have a deal?" The warrior finished.

"To free Simon and for no one to suffer like he did, of course we have a deal." Finn said.

With that said the ice warrior charged at Finn sword held high, and about to strike. However, as the ice sword fell to strike Finn, he moved to the left avoiding the strike while at the same time holding his grass sword to catch the warrior's blade. When the two swords met the grass sword did what it was cursed to do and sliced through the ice warrior's frozen blade like it was butter.

"Wha.." The warrior began. "Impressive child you embrace a cursed weapon as though it were a part of you your whole life." The warrior spoke as he discarded the sword and summoned a war hammer from the ice around.

When he went to smash Finn though the human was already too close to strike, and then faster than the eye could see the ice warrior was sliced in half before Finn appeared in front of him.

"What, what was that?!" The warrior asked stunned from being sliced in half.

"Shadowless thrust, the signature technique of my sword mentor Rattleballs." Finn said with his eyes closed and a proud smile upon his face for mastering his teacher's best move.

"Impressive boy." The warrior began as he used the snow and ice to repair his body. "However, the fight is not over till you die or I yield." The warrior finished, and repaired himself.

However, just when he restored his body he was sliced and diced again by the shadowless thrust, but this time his limbs were severed as he was cut in half.

"You know if you regenerate I'll just slice you into even smaller pieces right?" Finn began. "So just save us both a ton of time and yield." The human finished.

"Very well Finn." The spirit of the crown began. "I yield and my word shall be kept." The spirit said. "Now both of you leave." The spirit finished as Finn and Simon disappeared.

{Candy Kingdom Infirmary}

Marceline and Flame Princess had just arrived at the Candy Castle and barged into to infirmary despite Betty, Bubblegum, and Peppermint Butler trying to stop them, however, Jake and Lady Rainicorn were there talking to PB trying to find out where Finn was. Once in the room Finn and Simon were in, FP saw the crown and launched a small fireball that would only hit the crown and miss Finn's head. However, at the very last second it was caught in a pale hand and frozen into a snowball as the figure in Finn's bed slowly rose up revealing the blue shirt similar to that of a prince or viscount, and long black pants with white boots. He slowly turned to the visitors.

"First you cheat on me with one of my closest friends, and then you try to take my head off with a fireball when I was starting to wake up?" The figure began while constantly tossing the snowball into the air and catching it again. "That's cold FP even for the new Ice Prince." Finn said before looking at Simon's still sleeping body.


And there is another chapter down. Okay people I'll confess, I wanted to add a bit more to this, but it's supposed to be about Finn being the Ice Prince, so I'll do the rest that I wanted in the next chapter with the end of this one as a recap. I hope the fight between Finn and the spirit of the crown was okay though. In the meantime before I update this again I'll let your minds wander about what Finn is going to do with the snowball, and Simon. Those that figure out what I'm planning will be acknowledged next chapter.
