Chapter 2: Ice King's Royal Demand
The Ice King had Finn, Jake and Princess Bubblegum right where he wanted them to be. But Ice King was in no mood for his usual sinister plots against them.
"So you finally have us cornered, are you finally going to waste us?" asked Finn.
"No my dear boy, I got a royal promise for you to be demanded upon" replied the Ice King.
"A royal promise, what kind of one, the one where you force Princess Bubblegum to marry you again?" remarked Jake.
"No, in order for me to do that, I need to retrieve my title again" said the Ice King.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Finn.
"A sinister supervillain known as Jack Frost has managed to capture my throne, and literally throw me out of my lair and into the nearby graveyard of Candy Kingdom" replied Ice King.
"So let me get this straight, that was you we saw up above a few minutes ago?" asked Jake.
"Heck ya, but I need to get revenge on Jack Frost for doing this deed to me, and I need your help" continued Ice King.
"Why should we help you?" asked Finn.
"Well, if you two don't, you'll never be free from me turning into the Candy Kingdom into an new ice realm for me!" laughed the Ice King.
"I guess we don't seem to have a choice" sighed Jake.
"Unfortunately, I have to agree with Ice King" said Princess Bubblegum, "you shouldn't break a royal promise, even if it's someone we are natural enemies of."
"Ha, you see, you two are now going to be my servants to oust Jack Frost!" laughed the Ice King with joy.
"Now please, if you would be kind enough to get me and my Candy people out of our ice prison I think we'll be able to help you" replied Princess Bubblegum.
"Yeah, yeah no problem" replied the Ice King.
After the Ice King set everyone free, the trio then began to make their quest back to Ice King's original realm.
"So what does this Jack Frost freak look like?" asked Finn.
"A bigger nerd than you?" laughed Jake.
"Actually he's no laughing matter, when I was just training to become Ice King, my father told me stories about this Jack Frost being so magical he could travel to any realm or universe that is made of ice" replied the Ice King.
"So I'm guessing he's ten times more powerful than you" added Jake.
"Yeah, unfortunately" sighed Ice King, "but now that I got you two as my allies, there is nothing that could go wrong."
Meanwhile, back in the Ice King's former icy realm, Jack Frost was observing the trio trying to head their way back to Ice King's home.
"So that fool thinks he can hire two typical adventurers in this land known as Ooo, well, I'm going to ensure that they'll obviously fail" said Jack Frost.
Suddenly a large snow monster that was loyal to Jack Frost brought in a large ice cube filled with Businessmen.
"Found this" said the snow monster.
"Hmm, thaw them out, I think I might be able to use them and hire them for my own needs" laughed Jack.
Jack then signaled some of his monsters to use pix axes to get out the Businessmen whom were trapped inside. As the Businessmen were finally freed, some of the Businessmen were still a bit dizzy from being put back in the ice.
"Where, where are we?' asked one of the Businessmen.
"I am Jack Frost, and I have hired you five to do a certain task for me" replied Jack.
Meanwhile, the Ice King along with Jake and Finn continued on their path. As they headed toward the Ice King's icy mountain, they first had to get through a dark forest known to be sometimes be a residence of Marceline the Vampire Queen.
"Say, that forest looks kind of creepy, and I mean creepy enough to be a possible home of Marceline" said Jake who was a bit afraid.
"Bah, I'm not afraid of any vampire, if a vampire comes across me, I'll just freeze them, because we need to get back to my realm and get rid of Jack Frost" said the Ice King.
"Well, if it'll make you leave us alone for the time being" said Finn as he started to head on into the dark forest.
Suddenly the day literally turned into night, as it was the sort of perfect atmosphere for any creature of the night to literally take temporary refuge in.
"Oh Finn, this kind of creeps me out man" cried Jake.
"Stop being a baby, baby" replied Finn.
"Yeah, what he said" added the Ice King.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by and spooked poor Jake as he leaped on the shoulders ironically of the Ice King.
"Get off of me!" cried the Ice King, "Is he always like this?"
"Only when he's afraid" replied Finn.
"Hey, I'm not afraid" said Jake.
But as Jake took one step, the trio heard an evil laughter throughout the forest.
"Oh no, it's that Vampire Queen!" cried Jake who was hiding behind both the Ice King and Finn.
"You got that right you scardy cats" laughed Marceline as she flew into the scene.
"Back off Vampire Queen, we need to get through your forest to get back through my icy kingdom!" roared the Ice King.
"Who is that nerd with you?" asked Marceline to Finn.
"He's the Ice King" replied Finn.
"Yes, and we need to get pass your forest to get back to my kingdom and get rid of Jack Frost" replied the Ice King.
"Well, you're going to have to get pass me first" laughed Marceline.
"Well, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight that you'll get" said the Ice King as he was well prepared.
"Bring it then!" laughed Marceline as she then changed into her true vampire form.
Marceline made the first strike by giving Ice King a good punch sending him crashing against a tree. The Ice King then retaliated by freezing her legs.
"Finn, punch her while she's weaken!" ordered the Ice King.
Finn had no other choice, but to give her a good punch which sent her collapsing down to the ground in her ultimate vampire form.
"Look lady, I don't really have time for this, you need time to heal, so that I'll be able to get back to me being part of my icy kingdom" laughed the Ice King.
"Ha, that's what you think you messed with the wrong vampire!" roared Marceline as she managed to recover.
"Oh, this isn't looking good" sighed Jake.
