Chapter 2 - Restoration Time
Two weeks after the discovery of the downed helicopter, Finn and Jake go back to the crash area, carrying the rotors they found from an unknown factory ruins.
"You think these will work?" asked Finn.
"I think so." replied Jake. "They look like they are in good condition."
"Alright." said Finn. "I hope Peebles and Marceline brought the things to fix the helicopter."
As they arrived to the crash area, they find that they arrived early, since no one was around yet.
"Jake, what time is it?" asked Finn.
"Fixing time?" replied Jake.
"No, seriously." said Finn. "What time is it?"
"Oh." said Jake. Checking his phone, he answered, "It is, uh, 4:30 PM."
"Then they must be late." said Finn. "Okay, let's wait here."
Finn and Jake sat down, waiting for the girls to show up. At 4:54 PM, they see two figures walking towards them.
"Hey Jake." said Finn. "They're here."
"Okay, I can see, Finn." retorted Jake.
As the figures turned out to be Princess Bubblegum and Marceline, Finn shouted out, "Why are you two so late?"
"Well, it was hard to find an elevator for the helicopter!" replied Princess Bubblegum.
"I had to help her out." said Marceline.
"Yeah." said Princess Bubblegum in a bothered tone. "Well, did you guys bring the rotors?"
"Of course!" said Finn, bringing two large rotor blades.
"Me too!" added Jake, showing the small rotor blades.
"Cool, guys." said Princess Bubblegum. "Now, let's fix that helicopter!"
Putting their strength and ingenuity to the test, the group placed hours of work into the restoration of the helicopter.
When they finished the restoration, the time was 12:15 AM. Tired from the exhausting work, they all were glad to see that they've done a great achievement.
"We did it guys." said Finn sleepily. "We got this helicopter working."
"Not… yet, Finn." said Princess Bubblegum sleepily, yawning. "We got to turn… the helicopter on."
"Alright." said Finn.
As everyone went inside of the helicopter, Princess Bubblegum found the keys to turn on the dormant machine.
As the engine turned over and the sound of the rotors slicing the air was heard, everyone cheered.
"Okay." said Jake. "Tomorrow, we fly this baby to the sky."
"Sweet." said Marceline. "Now, everyone should sleep. We've got an exciting day tomorrow."
"Good night, everyone." said Finn.
Everyone slept soundly and comfortably inside of the helicopter's cabin, cuddling up to each other for warmth and security.
The next morning, at 10:00 AM, everyone woke up and got ready for flying.
"Everyone ready to fly?" asked Princess Bubblegum.
"Heck yeah!" said Finn excitedly.
"Wooooooo! Let's go!" said Jake.
"Alright! Get this thing started!" said Marceline.
"Cool! Everyone sit down on your seats." said Princess Bubblegum.
Everyone sat down, with Princess Bubblegum taking the pilot seat, Finn taking the co-pilot seat, and Marceline and Jake on the seats behind the pilots. As soon as Princess Bubblegum turned the ignition key, the helicopter came to life. Buttons, gauges, and lights began to flash on the dashboard. A buckle-up light shined brightly, telling the crew to put on their seat belts.
"Okay, let's put on these safety belts, people." said Princess Bubblegum.
A small screen flickered and lit up. As it lit up, a female voice was heard.
"Welcome, crew. GPS is now on." the voice said.
"Oh, what is that?" asked Finn eagerly, touching the screen.
"Wait, Finn!" said Princess Bubblegum, as she tried to stop Finn from touching the screen. As she did so, she accidentally pressed the autopilot button.
"Autopilot is now on." the female voice said. "Next destination: Abstergo Facility. Total distance: 809.5 miles."
The helicopter began to hover up into the sky, and as soon it reached cruising altitude, it went to the east.
"Ahh!" said Finn. "What's going on?"
"I accidentally turned on autopilot." said Princess Bubblegum. "And you set a course to some place."
"Well, there's no turning back now." said Marceline, looking at a page of the helicopter's manual book. "Looks like you can't turn off autopilot. According to the manual, 'The autopilot feature cannot be turned off once a course has been set by the GPS.' We're stuck flying to the unknown place."
"Oh man." said Jake. "That's crazy." Then, changing his voice to a cheery one, he continued, "But this is awesome! Flying like this is great! And, we may find an adventure in the new place we're all going!"
A/N: Fixing the helicopter granted the group the opportunity to visit the Abstergo facility. Now, they will all experience the beginning of an amazing adventure. But first, their helicopter must make it to the area in which the facility is located. Will they get there? All the action will come soon.
