Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.
Simon just stood and frozen shock as Betty charged at him weaving a scalpel and bone saw. The world seemed to be moving in slow motion. The blade of the bone saw glinted as Betty got closer and closer. The rest of the heroes arrived and saw what was happening.
"Simon!" Marceline shouted as she flew towards him.
She tackled him to the ground and just barely got him out of the way of the flying bone saw! They stood up and backed away from Betty. Marceline recognized her from Simon's pictures.
"Betty." Mumbled Simon.
Marceline glared at Icespairight, who was laughing insanely.
"What did you do to her?!" She demanded.
"Oh I just reminded her about how Simon left and how he wasn't there for her when she needed him the most. Now her anger has taken control over her! Now Simon shall face his ultimate despair! Being killed by the a person he loved! A person he failed!" Laughed Icespairight.
"Were going to stop you!" Shouted Finn.
"Oh I'm sorry I can't have anyone interfering with this little tragedy I'm putting on! Here's some play mates for you!" Said Icespairight as he started shooting out snow.
The snow started forming into human shapes wearing gladiator armor and faces of despair. The let out creepy cries and charged at Finn and Jake! Icespairight turned towards Simon and Marceline.
"I'm sorry my dear Marceline, but the script for this tragedy calls for Simon. You'll just have to sit this one out." He said as he froze Marceline's body except for her head. "Now Simon go and meet Betty's vengeance! We have a tragedy that must be done!"
Betty raised her her bone saw and scalpel. She charged forward. Simon just stood there frozen. It looked like he was just going to stand there and get killed!
"Simon! Father! Listen to me! What happened to you and Betty wasn't yours or her fault! She's being controlled! You have to reach the real Betty somehow!" Shouted Marceline.
"Silence! No talking from the audience! The only talking allowed are screams and cries of sorrow!" Shouted Icespairight as he shot out a glob of black slime and gagged Marceline.
Simon took Marceline's words in. He knew what he had to do. He calmly took of his crown and placed it back on the rope on his belt. He faced the charging Betty and started moving forward. Betty sliced at him with her scalpel and left a scar on his face that started bleeding! Simon didn't wince or cry out in pain. Betty raised her bone saw, but Simon grabbed her, dragged her in close and embraced her in a deep hug.
"Let me go!" Shouted Betty as she struggled to break free.
"Betty I've missed you so much! I just want to say that I'm sorry and that I forgive!" Said Simon as he kissed Betty on the lips.
Betty stopped struggling and dropped her weapons. The red left her eyes, color returned to her, and kindness and love appeared on her face. She looked down at herself confused.
"Simon I'm sorry! I've missed you so much!" Cried Betty as tears ran down her eyes.
"I've missed you to Betty!" Said Simon as they shared another kiss.
"THIS IS INCONCEIVABLE! ONE OF YOU SHOULD BE DEAD AND THE OTHER INSANE! YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING!" Roared Icespairight as he advanced on the two reunited lovers.
Simon put Betty behind him to shield her.
"True love will conquer any despair!" Declared Simon.
Icespairight created an ice scythe and was fixing to swing it, when Marceline transformed into her giant bat form and broke free from her prison.
"I won't let you harm them!" She shouted as she slammed her fist into Icespairight's face.
Icespairight stagger back several steps.
"Same goes for use!" Shouted Finn as he destroyed the last monster with his sword.
"Yeah!" Shouted Jake.
"Fine you have all sealed your fate!" Shouted Icespairight as he got rid of his scythe and started forming a new weapon.
It looked like a cross between Fight King's giant golden sword, with one of Iceen's scythe blades sticking at the end it had an unhappy face on it.
"Prepare for oblivion!" Shouted Icespairight.
Simon turned to Betty.
"I have to help them beat this guy." He said as he put his crown back on his head.
"I know. Just be careful." Said Betty as she kissed Simon.
"I'll be back my princess." Said Simon as he created an ice barrier to protect Betty.
He went to join the others for the final fight.
To be continued.
