Author's Note:I don't Own Adventure time. Disclaimed. Also the song lyrics of the beginning are in Italics this chapter.
Prismo stands in the room, so to speak, with me next to him. "So, now what Prismo?" I ask the Wish Master.
"Now Finn, we show you the future of your altered world," the Wish Master says pointing back to the wall, "And it all starts with a song, much like the one you and Jake made." I stare at the wall, the room darkens, and it is as if a movie is playing on the screen.
(Music)
Scene: A forest of barren, leafless trees, merely branches of the dead and dying plants hanging onto stumps and the weapons left from ages long gone. A figure in a green cloak, covered by shadow, a pale, human hand is seen tucking a long strand of blonde back into the hood, before fleeing into the forest with a Crown with grey gems in hand, it gleams in the sun. A Crow caws in the distance. It pans back towards a snow covered hill, before showing white capped mountains. A blue bolt reminiscent of a bolt of lightning saps past the camera, as a flying blue skinned Queen, recognized as the Ice Queen laughs malevolently.
Panning further it passes by the Lemongrab Castle, showing a yellow haired, light yellow skinned girl in a lemon dress looking wistfully towards a kingdom on a far hill. Turning away, she returns sadly to the Earl and Countess Lemongrabs, where she stares at a picture of her older brother, Lemonhope, on a wall of portraits.
Panning inward the hill is revealed to house the glorious Candy Kingdom, passing it's candy citizens going into a Circus, where a Chocolate Bar Strongman showed his strength, Gumdrop kids played merrily in the games booths, a Candycorn Clown marveled the candy citizens with his feats that defied reality, before panning to the main streets of the Candy Kingdom.
Candy citizens laughed and partied, before a bubblegum girl, the young Princess 'Bonnie' Bubblegum, is shown riding on Lady Rainicorn. Looking to the skies as a shadow passes overhead, the girl notices her older brother, revealed to be Prince Gumball on Lord Monochromicorn, who waves in return.
The Camera Pans to a Cat and a Blonde Girl who High-Five. A boom is heard.
Adventure Time,
C'mon grab your friends,
We'll go to very
distant lands.
With Cake the Cat
and Fionna the Human,
The fun will never end,
it's Adventure Time!
Finn: Dude, this, is like, a total rip off of Ice King's fan fiction about us dude, don't tell me the girl is in love with him here as well!
Prismo: Dude, if you're just going to interrupt, have a sandwich and be quiet. Like I said, this is a parallel history that has replaced your world, but supplemented with characters from Ice King's freakish fan fiction and other worlds, to make it the perfect future the Cosmic Queen wanted.
Finn: *Mpphmppphhhhmmmm*
Prismo: Don't talk with your mouth full dude, it's impolite. Now I'm going to go back to the story...
Fionna woke up in her sleeping bag, with her sister Cake staring intently into her from above her face. She puffs a wisp of blonde hair out of her face, before getting up and getting ready for today's adventure. "What do you want Cake?" Fionna asks. The Cat merely smiles a Cheshire grin, before giggling and going downstairs to start breakfast. "Great, I have a mad cat for a sister, I can only hope I survive whatever she has planned," she says, putting her signature bunny eared hat on, and brushing her hair into its iconic curl. Making her way to the kitchen table, Fionna find's Cakes blueberry Pancakes, a rare breakfast treat the cat made, though she appreciated every bite with the rich syrup from the Candy Kingdom. Cake then slid up from under the table, still wearing the girl, her slit eyes making the experience even more creepy for Fionna.
"Girl, do you not know what today is?" she asks in a serious tone, her ears flattening, telling Fionna she was being serious.
"I seriously, do not know what is going on, except these yummy pancakes being digested," she replies honestly. Suddenly the Cheshire grin is back on Cake's face.
"Now now dear, I'm surrrre you remember what today is..." she purrs, "Martin the Hero is coming back from the remains of the Fire Kingdom tody, which means today is..." She trails off, but Fionna's stomach immediately drops, realizing in dread and horror what today would mean.
"Higggghhh Schoooool..." Fionna utters in pure venom, as ice suddenly climbs up her veins and deadens her limbs. Face planting into her delicious breakfast, Fionna slowly chews her food without the gusto she once had, the sweet blueberries turning sour, the syrup seemed to become to thick to swallow, and the pancakes became tough and hard to chew, not the fluffiness of a cloud they once were. "Whhhhhyyyyy?" she whines pitifully to Cake, the cat merely gives a serene pat on the head to the young heroine.
"Because your father wants you to have a good education, and we both know he can handle any threat that comes his way," the Cat replies, "That was the deal, you could be a hero while he was off exploring the vastness of the Kingdoms, but when he came home, he and Canyon would protect the outlying kingdoms, while you go to school, for however long it was." She stretches to knock on Fionna's forehead. "Besides we don't want this brain to go to w-aste," she says, her voice singsong-ing, "Besides, boys love girls with brawn, And Brains." She's teasing, but Fionna still blushes at her sister's insinuations, before she goes to get her backpack.
"F-fine, but if anything goes to south, like the Ice Queen attacks and Dad is occupied," she says, "I won't hesitate to knock someone on their butts." Now determined and steely, Fionna and Cake leave their Tree Fort, Fionna grabbing her nearest sword and slipping it in her backpack, before hopping onto a now enormous Cake, who begins walking to the Candy Kingdom.
(Outskirts of the former Fire Kingdom)
A giant Motorcycle, cobbled together from scrap and working parts from ancient planes, ships, and cars, rode two figures through the rocky and only slightly volcanic plain. One wore a gauntlet with an eye, a gauntlet that had helped them get out of more situations then he could count, and a tunic of plain brown over metal armor on the chest, arms, and knees. The other wore a full suit of cryonic armor to keep her body temperature low enough to not disintegrate in this heat, and held a pair of binoculars that could scan the area ahead and around them for obstacles or monsters in their path.
"Canyon, do you have any visual on why the Fire Kingdom is dying," the man, who sported a full beard on top of a balding head, asked his companion. She shook her head, though she knew her compatriot couldn't see while driving the monster of a motorcycle.
"Not yet, but the eye in the sky hasn't come across any cold spikes since the last quake," she replies, "You know we could always ignite the volcanoes again with one of their 'Gods'." She says this sarcastically, though her older companions silence started to worry her. "You aren't...I mean, there is no way we could successfully do that without reducing the whole place into a lava bed, you know that right?" she starts, " Not even the Fire Kingdom inhabitants could survive pure lava..." Her companion was silent for a moment.
"I know, I know, we couldn't do that..." he sighs, though it is barely heard in this wind, "It looks like we'll have to return to the Queen and report what we have found so far..." Revving the engine, the two make their short journey back to the Candy Kingdom.
Arriving at the gates of the Kingdom as Fionna disembarks, the giant motorcycle comes to a stop suddenly, both riders hopping off. Running to the riders, Fionna tackles the heavyset looking, yet muscled old man. Cake to joins in the dog pile, as both hug the now laughing old man, who removes his helmet, revealing the balding dome of Martin Mertins, aka Martin the Hero.
Removing her own transparent, now unnecessary helmet and armor, Fionna's bff comes over and takes Fionna and hauls her off the grass, before doing the same with Martin. "Canyon!" she says, hugging her blue bff, squishing her in the embrace.
"Don't call me Canyon, Fi," the Water Elemental says, "Just because your dad saved me in a canyon, doesn't mean he keeps getting to call me Canyon as a nickname, its Pheobe, or Pheebs, but you know I prefer Flame Princess still as my official title." Laughing at her friends chiding, the group walks through the sugary gates, past the Banana Guards, and down the main street.
The Candy Castle Entrance
"Sorry Kiddo, this is where me and Canyon have to stop," the older man says ruffling Fionna's hair through her bunny-ear hat, "I'll meet you back at your tree fort afterwards though, 'kay?" Waving as they split apart, Fionna and Cake continue on past the castle to the school at the back of the grounds, while Martin and Flame Princess continue, after FP stomps on Martin's shoes. "Ouch, I'm only Kidding F.P., you know I only use it as an endearing term," he says, rubbing the back of his head. Still simmering, her hair almost bubbling in anger, Phoebe sighs and follows the man inside.
After climbing a very tall tower, both Martin and Phoebe stop in front of a pair of double doors, after, of course, passing the room and lab of Prince Bubblegum, and the room of the Princess Bonnie. "Kid, I got to leave you here, I need you to make sure no one disturbs my chat with her highness," Martin says, "Be good." With that he slips inside, Phoebe left with her thoughts. After a minute, Martin was back outside, where he was showing confusion. "Kid, did you see the Queen somewhere else when we came in, or the Prince or Princess?" Martin asks. Shaking her head, Martin leaves down to the main hall where the Royal Family met in times of urgency, on the opposite side of the living quarters of the Castle, Phoebe quickly following.
Finding a pacing Prince Gumball, and a depressed looking Princess Bonnie, both Martin and Phoebe are instantly worried. While Martin talked with the Prince, Phoebe decided to comfort Bonnie. "Hey Bonbon, what's up," she asks the gummy princess, "Where's your mom, the big shot, at?" Instantly sniffling, she clams up, and Phoebe realizes it was the wrong thing to say.
"She left," Prince Gumball says to Martin and Phoebe, "Se left a note with no destination, but that she had business to do elsewhere, entrusting the kingdom to me in her absence, and she left shortly after she had sent you into the Flame Kingdom..." With grim realization, both Martin and Phoebe thought that they had been sent on a wild two-headed Goose chase. "Now what?" Prince Gumball asks hollowly.
Martin steels up at this. "Now, kid, you lead your people," he says, slapping the Prince on the back, "And you'll have your sister and I to help." Smiling slightly, both Prince Gumball and Princess Bonnie take heart to that, and Prince Gumball decides to make an announcement.
"We need to tell the people, not enough to freak them out," Prince Gumball says, "But enough to paint a picture of security, for now though, let's get our story straight."
Prismo's Time Room
The wall fades to white again, Prismo and Finn both munching on a giant bowl of popcorn. "Now what?" Finn asks between bites of the snack. Prismo creates a holographic map of Earth, which focuses and expands before landing on the Candy Kingdom, and then focusing on a Vault.
"Now we get to the side story," Prismo says.
