Chapter 9 Gladiator Arena

Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.
The four heroes travel on after a brief rest after defeating Despario. The scenery around them was changing again. The land was littered with swords, axes, bows, spears, and shields. Finn saw something up ahead that caught his eye. It was a giant sword encrusted with jewels stuck in the ground.
"Awesome sword! I call dibs!" Shouted Finn as he rushed towards it.
As he reached to grab it, his hands went right through it!
"Is it a ghost sword?" Asked Jake confused as he and the others caught up with Finn.
Suddenly the ground started violently shaking! A large building started to rise up around the group! After a few minutes the heroes found themselves in what appeared to be some kind of gladiator arena! Finn and Jake looked around. This gladiator arena seemed very familiar.
"Welcome to my gladiator arena! I must congratulate you on defeating my comrade Despario! It so rare that I get to have any fun! Now you will die and I will take one of your bodies! Then I can enjoy endless fighting and slaughter! I can't wait to taste the blood of my enemies!" Shouted a voice.
"Look over there!" Shouted Marceline.
Everybody turned to see a large stone throne with a figure sitting in it. Finn and Jake gasped! The knew who the figure was! The figure in question had a decaying corpse like appearance with a shrunken head, with nothing but the skeleton supporting it. The figure had pitch-black flesh and skin. The figure when last Finn and Jake saw him had one arm, but now he had two. The figure's left upper arm and left ankle were bandaged. The figure had a large green left eye, while his right one has been stitched shut, like a shrunken head's, and a small, pale red crown floats above his head. The figure carried a variety of weapons. He had a large golden sword grasped in his hands, he also had an axe strapped to his back, a short sword on his waist belt, two knives in his belt and one on his right shin, and a little crossbow attached on his left arm.
"Fight King!" Shouted Finn and Jake.
"Yes it is I! Now I can pay you two back for destroying me and my arena!" Laughed Fight King.
"You two know this nut?" Asked Marceline.
"Yeah long story. He was this nut obsessed with fighting. He lured people into his arena and made them fight ghost gladiators. He then made the guys he lured into the arena fight one another. We managed to destroy the source of his power and destroy him and his arena." Explained Finn.
"Sounds like a crazy adventure." Said Simon.
"It was." Admitted Jake.
"Enough chit chat! You will now face my revenge! Behold my new skeleton gladiators!" Shouted Fight King as he slammed his golden sword on the ground.
A gate in the arena opened up and a bunch of skeletons wearing gladiator clothes and welding swords and spears charged out!
"Kill the enemy my glorious gladiators and I will allow you to have a cup of their freshly spilled blood!" Shouted Fight King.
The skeleton gladiators let out a blood curdling war cry and charged at the heroes! Simon quickly acted. He froze the ground in front of the charging gladiators! Soon the ground was covered in a layer of ice! As soon as the gladiators stepped on it that started slipping and sliding all over the ice! The heroes watched with amusement as the gladiators with great effort stand up only to fall down a few seconds latter. Finn suddenly came up with a great idea. He called Simon and all his other friends over.
"Hey Simon do you think you can make use some ice skates and hockey sticks with your powers?" Asked Finn.
"I most certainly can. I know what you thinking." Said Simon.
He had Finn and Marceline raised their shoes. He shot some beams of ice at them. Soon Finn and Marceline found themselves on ice skates made out of ice. Simon did the same with his own shoes. Jake just morphed his feet into ice skates. Simon then created four hockey sticks out of ice and handed them out. After that was done he started making a bunch of hockey pucks out of ice and putting it in front of them.
"Alright lets play a little hockey!" Shouted Finn as he brought his hockey stick back and swung.
The rest of the heroes did likewise. Several hockey pucks went flying and hit the skeleton gladiators! The force of the blows smashed the gladiators into piles of bones! Pieces of bones went flying everywhere! The hockey pucks rained down on the skeleton gladiators! Soon there were only eight skeletons left!
"Hey guys I got a great idea." Said Jake as he stretched his body from one side of the arena to the other.
He grabbed the walls with his hands and feet.
Finn knew what he was thinking.
"Oh yeah! Great idea man!" Shouted Finn.
Marceline also caught on.
"Oh this is going to be fun!" She said.
The two of them went to the middle of Jake's stretched body and started pushing against it stretching it out like a sling shot.
"Go get them guys!" Cheered Simon.
"Will do!" Shouted Finn.
He and Marceline took their feet off the ground. The stretched out midsection shot forward and Finn and Marceline shot forward like two speeding bullets! The skeleton gladiators saw them coming and desperately tried to escape, but it was to late! Finn and Marceline smashed right through them and they exploded into pieces! Finn and Marceline stopped themselves. They cheered and high five one another.
"Cruses! Those miserable bags of bones were totally useless!" Shouted Fight King angrily from his throne.
"Hey Fight King! Are you just going to sit on that throne all day until your killed again, or are you going to fight us?!" Challenged Finn.
"You will regret those words boy! Now prepare to witness my power and the reason why I'm called Fight King!" Shouted Fight King as he stood up.
He sheathed his giant golden sword behind him and pulled out his short sword and axe. He then then let out a war cry and jumped into the arena.
To be continued.
