Warning! I do not own Adventure Time or any of its characters. Before we begin I want to apologize for the delay. I got so caught up in writing chapters for a few of my other stories that I let this one get side lined. But now I'm back on track and more determined than ever. I'd also like to thank all those who've reviewed/ followed the story so far. Now without further delay; chapter 3!
Larite was a shinning metropolis with streets overflowing with humans.
"Wow!" Jake exclaimed gazing down at city. "This place is amazing!"
"This is nothing." Press laughed. "Just wait till you see the castle!"
The castle was a Gothic design constructed entirely of black marble. Finn could only gaze in awe as they entered the massive structure.
"Finn's mother lives here?!" Jake asked as the group passed several portraits hanging on the wall.
"Where else would a queen stay?" Captain Phillips replied knocking on the throne room doors. The door opened partially as and a servant stuck his head into the hall.
"The Queen does not wish to be disturbed right now, please make an appointment and try again later." He said as he closed the door.
"What do we do now?" Finn asked.
"Don't worry I've got a key." The Captain winked. Turning back to the door he swiftly kicked it open.
"You call that a key?!" Press exclaimed.
The group entered the throne room to find a woman who looked remarkably like Finn dueling an old man. As they watched the woman delivered a sweeping kick, knocking her opponent off his feet. Before he could recover her saber was already at his throat.
"Well done your majesty!" He laughed pushing the blade aside as he got to his feet. "Your form has improved greatly since we last met."
"Thank you John." The woman replied turning to the group. "Now Captain Phillips, I assume you have a good reason for kicking down my door, again."
"Your highness, I believe we've found your son." Phillips replied kneeling before his Queen.
"Granted I see the resemblance," The Queen said as she circled Finn. "But how can you be sure."
"We found him while scouting deep into mutant territory." Phillips began. "No one in Larite would dare travel that far and since your son was the only child to go missing in the last two decades I put two and two together."
"Well let's hear the boy's opinion then" The Queen said turning towards Finn. "So you think you're my son?"
"To be honest your majesty I don't know." Finn admitted.
"Well at least he's honest!" The Queen laughed. "Every other impostor at least makes an effort to claim that he's my son. Maybe there's something to Captain Phillips story after all!" Suddenly the queen embraced Finn. "Welcome home."
"Uh, thanks?" Finn replied confused as his feet were once again firmly planted on solid ground.
"I shall inform the cooks to prepare a feast in honor of your return." The Queen said as she left the throne room. "In the mean time feel free to explore the castle. After all a prince must know his was around his own home."
"Come on I'll give you the grand tour." Jane exclaimed grabbing Finn's arm. She quickly turned back to the rest of her squad. "I'll catch up with you guy's later at the barracks." As Jane lead Finn and Jake out of the throne room Jake bumped into a man wearing a long black cloak.
"Sorry dude." Jake said apologizing. Instead of replying the man just snarled and walked into the throne room.
"What's his problem?" Jake wondered watching him walk away. He turned around just in time to see Jane drag Finn around the corner. "Hey guys! Wait up!"
Meanwhile in the throne room
The cloaked figure entered the throne room and stopped in front of Captain Phillips.
"The rest of you get out!" He barked lowering his hood to reveal a middle-aged man with three scars in the shape of a claw mark running down the left side of his face. "The Captain and I have important business to discus!"
"I take it your mission was a success?" the man asked after the rest of the squad left the room.
"Yes General Andrew, the boy was right where you said he'd be." Phillips replied. "Bringing in the lost heir should serve as suitable distraction for the Queen."
"Excellent!" General Andrew exclaimed. "And was your scouting mission a success as well?"
"Yes sir." The Captain replied reaching into his pocket and pulling out a map. A dotted line had been drawn connecting Larite to a hand drawn rectangle. "As usual the troops know nothing of their true mission. They still believe we're just scouting the enemy's defenses."
"Well done Captain." The General said as he took the map. "With this I shall make history as the savior of humanity! And no one, not even that fool of a Queen, shall stand in my way!
Well there you have it chapter 3. Since "The Prisoner" is officially complete I'll hopefully be updating more often. Thanks for reading! If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments feel free to message me.
