Finn clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He considered taking out his sword and cleaving her down the middle. Finn managed to calm himself momentarily, "What do you want?" His voice was grisly and rough. She stood quiet for a moment before speaking up, "I want to talk."
Hunson could sense Finn's anger. He had to keep a close eye on him. Normally he wouldn't care, but Azreth was getting closer to breaking free every time Finn transformed. Hunson couldn't take the risk, for if Azreth escaped he might overthrow him.
The council members took their seats in the large room. There was a tension in the room, as Jeffery's and Princess Bubblegum's seats remained empty. The silence in the room was broken when one of the members spoke, "As you all know, we have lost two of our most important members of the council. Jeffery's position was taken away after he went against council orders to protect Finn. Bonnibel quit after her life was put in danger by Finn."
"He did spare her though.", one of the members added.
"That doesn't change the fact that he's dangerous."
"But, how are we going to capture him? Direct assaults aren't helping."
"I have a plan for that."
Finn couldn't beleive what the princess was telling him. "You expect me to trust you after you fucking attacked me?!"
"I wasn't the one who wanted to do it! The council ordered the attack."
"That doesn't change anything! You could have quit before the attack!"
"No I couldn't have. They wanted to send everything after you at once, the only reason they didn't was because I got involved." Jake heard the commotion and came downstairs. "What's going on down here?"
"She wants to 'help' us"
"Listen, you don't have to accept, just know that the offer is there. Can you at least tell Jeffery I'd like to speak with him."
"I'm all ears", Jeff said, coming in through the doorway.
"Were you-"
"Listening? Yes.", Jeff interrupted Finn. "What is it?", he turned his attention towards Bubblegum.
"Well, I've developed a neural chip that can preform certain functions to boost a person's...mental state. I wanted to know if you'd be the one to test it."
"Are you saying...this chip can cure me?"
"In theory, but it's still experimental." Jeff was overwhelmed. This was a huge choice. If this chip worked, he would be free of his insanity. He wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone. But, if the chip failed...he didn't want to think about what would happen. Besides, he didn't exactly trust the princess, so letting her put something in his brain was a big deal. He had to choose.
Time to vote!
