Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time this is just a story for fun.
The heroes laid on the ground resting. Betty ran over to Simon's.
"Are you alright?" She asked Simon.
"Were fine just tired." Said Simon.
The two of them embraced one another.
"It's great to see that your alright. You had me worried." Said Betty.
"I would climb mountains and fight armies just to make sure your my princess was safe." Said Simon as he kissed Betty.
The moment however was interrupted by a weird gross popping sound. Everyone turned to look at the crater were the body of Icespairight laid. The body was bubbling as it turned into slime and three figures emerged from the slime. It was Iceen, Despairo, and Fight King! The three villains were looking in pretty bad shape. They were covered in scars and bruises. There was a mad look in their eyes.
"You think you've won?! No you have not! We're still here! You barely have any energy left! We're going to kill you and take your bodies!" Shouted Iceen madly as created an ice dagger and waved it around.
"The fights not over! We're still able to stand!" Laughed Fight King as he waved his short sword in the air.
"Prepare to feel utter despair at our hands!" Laughed Despairo as he waved his staff.
The three villains staggered towards the heroes waving their weapons. The heroes just laid on the ground glaring at the oncoming villains to tired to do anything else. Suddenly three glowing beams of light slammed into the ground in front of the villains and sent them flying and creating a dust cloud. When the cloud cleared three figures stood before the villains.
Two males and one female. The female and one of the males looked like they were related. They wore blue clothes. They had light blue skin, light red eyes, and pointed noses. The other male looked like a knight complete with battle armor and a broadsword. Finn, Jake, Simon, and Marceline gasped. They knew who these people were.
The two with the blue skin were Icten and Icily. They had once been Iceen's children, but turned against him and his evil ways. The heroes had met their spirit fragments inside Simon's subconscious when they went on an adventure to free Simon's sanity from Iceen. They looked much older from last they saw them.
The knight was Leon Braveheart. He had been a great hero back in the Middle Ages. He had defeated Iceen when he tried to conquer Earth.
Iceen and his comrades staggered to their feet. He glared at the three new figures and recognized them.
"We'll if it isn't my traitorous children and that accursed knight! I will not be stop by you fools again!" Shouted Iceen.
"Your still the same war crazed conquer, after all these years." Said Leon.
"We hopped after all these years you would have learned and changed your ways." Said Iceten.
"Despite all you've done father we still care for you. Please stop this madness." Said Icily.
"Don't you talk down to me! I am Lord Iceen King of ice and snow! I will kill these mortals and take their bodies! I will bring a glorious new age upon the universe under my rule!" Shouted Iceen as he turned to his comrades. "Now Despairo and Fight King deal with them!" He ordered.
The two villains staggered forward. Iceten and Icily raised their hands and shot a frozen burst of energy at them! The villains fell to the ground with chains made out of ice wrapped around them.
"Father this is your last warning surrender or else." Said Icten.
Icily turned to Leon.
"Please let us deal with our father." She said.
"By all means his yours." Said Leon.
"Oh what you two weaklings are going to fight me! Don't be absurd! Even in the weaken state I'm in I'm more then a match for you!" Shouted Iceen as he charged forward with his dagger!
Iceten and Icily grasped each others hand. The pointed their other hand at their charging father. A spinning cyclone appeared in front of them.
"Cyclone Spear!" They shouted as they released the attack.
The cyclone slammed into Iceen! His eyes bulged out in pain and surprise as he was sent spinning through the air and smashed right into a mound of bones! He fell to the ground dazed. The heroes starred in amazement at the attack.
"Nice job." Said Death as he suddenly appeared carrying his hoe and strolling up to the heroes.
He glanced at the heroes and shot a golden light at them. In a matter of seconds their bodies were completely healed!
"Your heroes did a good job dealing with those three. If it was fought in the land of the living you would be the victors and the villains would have ended up back in The Land of the Dead." Said Death as he glanced at the heroes. His eyes landed on Simon and Betty. "It looks like you found what you were looking for. You know I'm in rather good mood today and what you heroes did here today really helped me out, so I'm going let you take on an extra passenger for your return trip."
"You mean me?" Asked Betty confused.
"Yes you. I've seen the love you two share for one another. It would be a shame to separate the two of you after you just been reunited. I'm a compassionate guy, so I'll allow you to go on back to the word of the living. However you will not grow old and die. I sense the magic in Simon as changed him so he can not age. I will allow you not to age either. That way you can both live a long happy life together." Said Death.
"Thank you." Said Betty and Simon together.
"Your welcome. As for you three." Said Death as he turned to face the villains who were all tied up with ice chains. "You there are being sent to the Spirit Prison for your crimes." Said Death as he stomped his hoe into the ground.
A portal showing a prison appeared in front of the villains.
"I'm destined to rule the universe! I will not be thrown in some kind of prison!" Shouted Iceen.
"Hey Death you want a fight? If I win you let us go. If you win we go to the prison." Said Fight King as he tried to bargain their way to freedom.
"This isn't the kind of despair I like!" Wailed Despairo.
The three villains were sucked into the portal screaming! The portal disappeared. Death stomped his hoe into the ground again and opened a portal to Ooo.
"Thanks for everything Death." Said Finn.
"Your welcome. Come by for a visit any time. I enjoy the company." Said Death as he Leon, Iceten, and Icily waved goodbye to the heroes.
The heroes waved back as they entered the portal. They found themselves in the land of Ooo. It was night time.
"So Betty are you ready to start over in this new world?" Asked Simon.
"If I'm with you I'll always be ready." Said Betty as she kissed Simon on the check.
"We'll first allow me to introduce you to my adoptive daughter Marceline or just Marcy for short." Said Simon as he indicted Marceline.
Marceline stepped forward.
"Hi Betty I'm Marceline. Simon protected me and raised me as a kid. He told me a lot about you. Is it alright that I call you mom?" Said Marceline.
Betty felt tears roll down her eyes.
"Yes you can call me mom." She said as she embraced Marceline.
Simon joined in on the embrace. It was a tender moment. Finn and Jake just smiled at the hugging family and waved goodbye. The family waved goodbye to them back. Marceline smiled at her two new parents. It had been so long since she had two parents. She just felt a great sense of joy and happiness. She finally had a family again. Simon and Betty smiled at one another. Simon reached into his pocket and gave Betty her engagement ring. She smiled and put it on. Betty looked at her new daughter with joy. She was a mother now and she was reunited with the man she loved many years ago. They all grabbed each others hands and walked off into the night towards Marceline's house. It was a beautiful night full of love.
The new family lived happily ever after.
The End.
