Chapter 2: Boom Goes the World

Ice King pov

I moped quietly on my throne with Gunter in my lap as I slowly petted her. Only hours ago had Finn and his stupid little dog foiled another one of my schemes to get a wife. I thought it was fool proof this time to. All I had to do was steal WildBerry princess in the dead of night and make her my bride but of course they managed to burst in before I could even so much as get her into a white dress...but thats not really saying much I guess...doing that took forever.

It really annoyed me how those two always managed to ice block me. I mean...I deserved to be love...I'm loveable, aren't I? And marriage is a big deal! Who are they to stopped me each and every time I try. So what if it's a girl he likes...or...well...a girl that didn't want to marry me. I mean...so what if I kidnapped her...Wildberry princess would have been happy in the end I'm sure.

What Irritated me even more was the fact that the two just ran off before our usual fight scene! I mean...come on! The lease you could do is give my old bones some exercise after ruining my wedding but noooo...they just ran off after hearing some crazy creature outside. I suppose I should be grateful sense that the two decided to defend my kingdom against that odd being...I hate to admit it but after looking ouside the grand window of my castle and actually seeing what had made the the noise...I had been scared.

Whatever it was gave me the willies more then most of the things I saw with my wizard eyes...and thats saying something! With it's shapeless black bodies and huge teeth I'm sure it would give anyone a heart attack...luckily my heart is made of maracas. Thank you sweet princess Bubblegum. The strange thing about them though...I could have sworn I had seen them before...somewhere.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts, got up from my throne, and set Gunter down. Perhaps if I went to my past room...maybe I'd get a hint. Gunter jumped down from her seat and waddled over to me wacking. I shoot my head and looked at my little penguin with amusement before picking her up.

"Come Gunter! to the past!" I put her on my head and started to fly down the flight of stairs and through the tunnels that would lead to the small room of my memories.

I landed gracefully on my feet and set Gunter down on the floor so she could play. I started to look around. Through books and and nic nacs I went looking for something to jog my memory. My hand froze on one book on a shelf and the oddest feeling of dread overtook me for a moment. My hand shook. I growled annoyed by the sudden feeling and action. Swiftly I pulled out the old volume and looked at the cover.

"A Pre-History of Ooo: the Great Mushroom War and the Land of Aaa..." I stared at the words transfixed for a moment.

The Great Mushroom war? Now why did that sound so familiar...why did the land of Aaa sound so familiar to? Maybe I had tried stealing a princess from there or something. I shrugged uncaringly and opened the book. As I flipped through the pages that same feeling of dread showed itself once again and settled into my chest.

I didn't stop to read any of the words but the pictures were enough. Destoried kingdoms...no...they weren't kingdoms...they were towns...destroyed towns! Rising oceans and flooding lands. Car's turned over and set ablaze! How did I even know they were called cars!? The closer to the back of the book the darker the pictures got until I came to the last page and saw them! I saw those horrible black creatures with their sharp teeth. A scream rose in my throat as memory after horrible memory came to me. All were tried to the a white haired woman with blue skin. I threw the book aside and backed myself into a corner. I slid to the floor and started to shake as more memories and visions flooded my mind.

Old memories of fire and carnage seemed to make themself real once again before my eyes. Back and forth my eyes went between the past and present. From my memory room to the weckage of an old city and back again. The images flickered making it hard to tell what was real.

I tried to come my breathing and my eyes landed on Gunter. The poor little penguin looked so concerned. I held my arms out and with a shaking voice I spoke to her, "Gunter Baby...come to daddy...come to daddy Gunter..."

She started to waddle towards me, "Wack Wack..."

As she waddled towards me...my vision changed again. The image started shifting from Gunter to a young boy with reddish brown hair. The vision still flickered every so often and I'd find Gunter running towards me again but it would always go back to the child a split second later. He was barely 18 months of age, that much I'm sure of. As he stumbled towards me with a big grin on his face it seemed as though he were happy to see me. He slammed into me and wrapped his small arms around my waist.

"Dada..." The child beamed happily. "Luv ooo..."

In my mind I was shocked by what I had just heard. I spoke moments later...but not of my own free will. It was like I was in the back seat and someone else was driving the car called my mind, "I know Guther...daddy loves you to...Daddy loves mommy to..."

I heard a woman giggle and soon that very woman came into view. She had beautiful red hair and she was wearing a soft green shirt with a white shirt. She smiled at me, "And 'mommy' loves you to Simon..."

She appoached slowly and kissed me on the nose before wrapping her arms around my neck. I leaned forward and pressed my forhead against hers, "Then why arn't we married yet...?"

She laughed and shook her head, "We were waiting until I got my Phd remember...but...If you asked again...I wouldn't say no this time..."

I smiled, "Than marry me Betty...and make me the happiest man in the world."

Again the images flickered. I saw my own face...and then a human's. It shifted back and forth so quickly that my head spun. Finally it landed on my own. Somehow I was much younger then I remember. I saw the woman from before looking at me with anger and fear...and a bit of sadness as well. She pulled a struggling child away with her and again not of my own free will...I dropped to my knees and cried.

Explosions and hell's fire came next in my visions. It no longer flickered to the world of reality. This vision was solid. At first...I thought it was another memory. The memory that showed up in every nightmare I ever had. My heart sank and my stomach flipped when I realized it wasn't. This was not the Great Mushroom war and this was not Europe. This was the Land of Ooo. In this vision...Candy Kingdom melted, Lumpy Space imploded, the ice kingdom turned to water, and the Fire Kingdom flooded. Black creature blocked out the sun. I started to hear whispering. A name being said over and over again in several voices. Some I knew...others I could barely remember...and some I just felt I knew.

"Where are you, Simon?" Finn.

"Huh? Look! This clipping! This is you! Simon! Before the War!" Marceline.

"Hello my friend...how are you Simon?" A pink haired man.

"Sssimon...you okay dude...you look kinda pale man?" A black haired boy hissed looking concerned.

"Simon...come out come out wherever you are! Don't worry...I won't bite...hard..." That same blue skinned woman.

"Simon R. PreTrikov...you go apologize to that poor baby right now or so help me...I'll scratch you so hard!" A...cat?

"Simsim!" A little blond girl smiled up at me. "Simsim!"

"Simon...I love you so much Simon..." That same red headed woman. "But...I...I just can't do this..."

"DADDY!" A child's shriek.

I screamed as I returned to reality and pushed Gunter away from me. She stumbled back and fell against the cold floor. She slowly got back up and stared at me still with that look of concern. She also looked quite confusion and maybe alittle hurt by me pushing her away. I swallowed hard and continues to shake in the corner of the room.

Gunter tried to approach me again but I stopped her before she could. I didn't know what I might do next and I didn't want her to get hurt, "No...no sweetie...don't come near daddy Gunter...leave daddy alone...okay honey? Go...go play..."

She looked sad but waddled out of the room. I took a shakey breath and sat there trying to calm myself. It wasn't five minutes later that the visions started once again.

Cake pov

I sat on the two boy's couch sipping a cup of coffee that they had poured for me, "Now it's all well and good that you to saved me from those...things...but I really have to get back to the Ice Kingdom..."

The dog raised an eyebrow at me and looked at the young teen beside him, "This old braud must be nuts or something...she actually 'wants' to go there...I always knew cats were stupid but she takes the cake...no pun intended...she must have poo brains of something."

I hissed at him, "Hold your tongue...you...you dog! Cat are as smart as the year is long...sweet babies if you made another comment like that I swear I'll scratch your eyes out! I need to talk to the current ruler of the Ice Kingdom and I'd like it if I wasn't insulted because of it thank you very much!"

Finn laughed nervously, "Sorry...we...speak before we think sometimes...I'm sure Jake didn't mean any harm...right jake?" He elbowed the dog in the ribs.

"oww...Right...no harm..." He grumbled looking annoyed. "But seriously...why do you want to go see that big old nerd the Ice king...seriously lady...he's bad news..."

She laughed, "So Simon did take control! I knew he pull a fast one on that mean old witch...so the Ice Queen is gone? banished maybe?"

"Ice...Queen?" Finn said slowly. "Dude...THE ICE KING USE TO BE MARRIED!"

I rubbed the back on my neck, "I guess that wasn't common knowledge...?"

"WHY IS HE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PRINCESSES IF HE'S ALREADY MARRIED," the boy yelled.

Jake clears his throat, "Well sometimes two people love eachother 'very much' but it just doesn't work out...and so they get...um...unmarried...?"

I shrugged, "Something along those lines...all I know is the Ice queen was a horrible woman...a...a female dog...!"

"Hey! my mom was a female dog!" Jake growled.

I ignored his comment, "And she treated her subjects like dirt...but Simon loved the Ice kingdom...I'm sure he is doing a wonderful job as their king..."

Both looked very awkward and became interested in everything around the room away from my eyes, "What...why won't either of you look at me..."

"The Ice king...erm...Simon...he's change dude..." Finn said carefully. "I guess he changed alot sense you last saw him..."

"How much...?"

He didn't really answer me, "Alot man...a whole lot..."

Finn's Pov

The doorbell rang and I was more than happy to go answer it and leave the awkwardness behind. I swung open the door and there stood Princess Bubblegum. She looked more nervous and jittery than I had seen her in along time. There were deeper bags under her eyes then when she had made Goliad.

"Hey PB...you okay?" I asked as I took her hand and led her over to a couch.
She shook her head rapidly as she sat down next to Cake not even noticing her, "No Finn...no I am not okay...I am not okay at all..."

"What's wrong...did you find the Ice King in your closet trying to steal one of your dresses again?" Cake raised an eyebrow at that comment. "Cuz I'll go beat him up right now if you did..."

Bubblegum shook her head, "This is...far more serious Finn...I...spoke with the Candy oracles today...and...they told me something most upsetting."

"What was it?" Jake asked looking concerned. He leaned closer to Bubblegum waiting for the answer.

"They fortold of the End of Ooo," She stopped looking at us. "More than that...the end of the world..."

"Woah...hard soft," I couldn't keep a straight face though. I laughed. Fortune telling just didn't feel real to me...therefore it wasn't"...but I don't believe in oracles...we are the ones who choose our own destiny and all that...I didn't think you believe in that stuff Princess!"

She looked at her hands and there gripped the fabric of her dress tightly, "Normally I don't...but...more and more people have been having...croak dreams Finn...and...they match what the oracles have said..."

"For the love of Glob!? well what do they say?" I know I looked alittle annoyed but I couldn't help it. Wasn't she suppose to be the logical one?

"Finn! do not take Glob's name and vain! You'll make things worse!" Princess Bubblegum scolded.

"Just tell me what they said..."

She sighed and swallowed hard. A soft nervous whisper moved past her lips, "In three months time, Ice and Fire will clash and flood the earth...the shadows will block out the sun and the world will forever be in darkness...all because of a black bound book."

Cake eyes went wide and licked her lips looking surprised and just a bit scared, "Black book?"

A/N 2: Ooo...now isn't that interesting? Who is the boy in the Ice kings visions? Betty...why did you leave him if you still loved him? What happened in Ooo's pre-history to scare the ice king so much? Why did the Ice King banish his Queen? Or did he kill her? Who are those people Ice king use to know? Why does Cake want to defend the Ice king? Why can a black book bring the end of the world? What will happen to the Land of Ooo? What will happen to the world.

I don't expect a set number of reviews but I really would like it if the reviews were fun to read...be detailed! I read all of them and usually detailed reviews make my day. Tell me what you found interesting and what you liked...even what you disliked. I'll put up another chapter as soon as I can.
