"He ran away?!" Marceline shrieked.
"Yeah!" Jake said. "He left a note saying he's planning on leaving Ooo in three days to explore the rest of the world, and maybe find out more about the Mushroom War and the humans. Just to be alone. And right now, he's somewhere in the forest but he doesn't want us to try to find him."
"Well that's too bad for him." Marceline stated. "We need to look for him. Now."
Somewhere in the forest, Finn was hitting a tree with a series of hard and fast punches. Can't believe. They actually, did that to me! Finn thought before punching the tree so hard his fist went through the bark.
He yanked his fist back, rubbing his arm in slight pain. He sat on a boulder by his black backpack, and buried his face in his hands.
A snail was slithering by, its wide eyes black with green pupils. The snail was being possessed by The Lich. And the Lich could sense many negative feelings nearby.
He followed the fowl yet pleasing sensation, only to find Finn sitting on a boulder, his head in his face. "Ahhh…" rasped The Lich. "It seems you have been betrayed by your closest friends, I presume…"
"Who said that?" Finn asked, sitting up and looking around. "It was I…" The Lich replied. Finn looked down to see a strange looking snail.
"What a weird snail," Finn whispered to himself. "Wait a minute. Those eyes…they look familiar…"
"Yes," The Lich proclaimed. "It is I! The Lich!"
"Whoa!" Finn drew his Demon Blood Sword. "How are you here?! How'd you get in the snail?! I thought you'd be somewhere stuck in the Multiverse or Prismo's Time Room!"
"A wizard from this land had opened a portal leading to the Multiverse. Before that many creatures and beings had came across the dimension, in which all fought me. It was tough. But I managed to sneak out before the portal closed. However, with my weakened state, I needed a body as a host. The closest one was this snail. So here I am…"
"Well what do you want?" Finn questioned fiercely.
"I can feel your dark and inner emotions. They are all negative. And it tastes good. You experienced much pain last week, didn't you? Caused by that pink royal female and the queen of vampires?"
"That's none of your business," Finn spat.
"True. But I can help you get back at them…"
"No way,"
"Aw, c'mon. It can't hurt to have a little…vengeance…"
"But how exactly do I do that?"
"Simple. First off-"
"I'm not gonna let you possess my body, though."
"Don't fear. I have another idea."
"Oh, yeah?" Finn raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "And what's that?"
"Look into my eyes…" The Lich whispered.
Finn stared into the evil being's eyes…and soon Finn's eyes were not completely identical to the Lich's, but they were green.
"You want revenge? Follow my instructions, and I'll give you revenge…" The Lich said. "Yes, master." Finn said blankly, lifting the snail up in his hand.
"First off…we steal the Crown of Ice Wizardry, which is currently wielded by the Ice King."
Finn nodded, putting away his sword and running to the Ice Kingdom, the Lich on his shoulder, cackling evilly.
"Still no sign of Finn, guys!" BMO exclaimed. "We're never gonna find my buddy!" Jake groaned. "No! We will find Finn! I'm not resting until we do!" Marceline said.
PB put a hand on Marceline's shoulder. "Marceline…I know this is hard for you since you love Finn. But maybe it's for the best if we just quit-"
"You don't get it, do you?" Marceline asked. "I broke his heart, Bonnie! I'm going to fix this! And besides. Finn wouldn't give up. So neither will I."
Before the princess could respond, a penguin came running in with a pink cat in her arms. They were both injured. "Gunter!" Jake gasped. "What happened?"
"Wenk, wenk, wenk! Wenk, wenk! Wenk, wenk, wenk, wenk!" Gunter exclaimed. "What did she say, Jake?" PB questioned.
"She said Finn and The Lich possessing a snail broke in the Ice Palace, killed the Ice King, to get the crown, and are now going to the Nightosphere to retrieve the dark Nightosphere amulet!"
Princess Bubblegum gasped, "If The Lich gets his hands on that amulet he'll be more powerful! But why would Finn team up with The Lich?!"
"Wenk, wenk, wenk! Wenk, wenk!" Gunter said. "She said The Lich was mind controlling Finn because Finn's eyes were the same color as The Lich's!" Jake translated.
Marceline was in shock. Simon…he…he was actually…dead…gone…forever…her long-time friend…the one who helped guide her through the Mushroom War…
The Lich got him killed! And was controlling her human!
"Marceline?" Bubblegum waved her hand in front of Marceline's face to get a reaction. Marceline shook her head, and summoned her axe-bass.
She then turned to the others, claiming in a dead serious tone,
"The Lich is gonna flipping pay,"
Marcy's ticked. What will happen next? Keep reading to find out! Oh, and Happy New Year!
