Jake had arrived into the Ice King's room. He groaned rubbing his arm from how he had to punch the Ice Golem to bits with it. "Man… why can't the Ice King just retire?" he muttered to himself, knowing that the Ice King was very old himself and probably had another long life ahead of him. The thought of that alone annoyed Jake. In front of him, the icy prison cell came into view. "Hey, doctor princess," he gave a small wave, seeing the doctor herself. Her hair was slightly longer and she had a few more wrinkles than before, but age hadn't changed her too much. "Hi, Jake. Sorry for making you come out to save me," she apologized, knowing it was annoying to have to rescue princesses so often.
"Don't worry about it," he insisted, though wondered why the Ice King kept trying to kidnap her so often since she wasn't a real princess anyway. When Jake tried to lock pick the icy cell bars, suddenly it glowed bright blue and shot an aura up around him. "Oh, glob-" he got frozen solid in a block of ice. Apparently, it had been rigged as a trap. The Ice King had gotten somewhat smarter in situations like this. "…I'm going to be stuck here for a while…" the doctor princess groaned, knowing it was going to take a good long while for him to thaw.
Roll had walked very far into the Ice Kingdom. The icy wind was blowing furiously around her, but she just tried her best to keep the blanket tight around her, wishing she had been more thickly dressed with at least a sweater and such. One step after another, she had been trying to force her body to continue pressing forward, even if she was shaking and felt like lying down to rest for a short time. "This is the place…" Kadin suddenly announced. She looked to her ghostly skeletal friend and viewed the surroundings where they stood, seeing below them a top of a hill of snow. Two icy mountains were in the distance with the sun in the sky seen between them.
"W-wow… it looks p-pretty," Roll commented before coughing. She just began to brush some of the snow aside with her hands. Kadin stayed floating, idly watching. "…I thank you for the help…" he said while beginning to reach into his own rib cage underneath some of his ragged clothing, looking for something. "I-it was… not a problem. I-it was fun playing with y-you… I h-hope to see you again someday," Roll told him while she was placing the arrow into a tiny sized hole, she saw him pull out that particular something. "Here. This was important to me when I was living. I don't remember why it was though. But… I believe I can trust you with it," he explained. The young human girl happily took it from him brushing it off to see it was a gold locket, with a fancy design of a vine stretching around gears, with a bird resting upon one of the many vines.
"A locket…! It's p-pretty…! …goodbye, Kadin… I'll miss you," Roll bid him farewell before she recovered the small hole with snow, watching as his green aura start turning bright yellow, and he began fading first. His feet vanished and slowly kept going, up the rest of his body. The last thing she saw was his skull, which smiled before it followed the rest of the body and disappeared. He was gone, completely. She just stood there for a short minute, holding the golden locket and hearing the whistling wind go through her ears. That was the sound of being alone. She just began to walk back from where she came, knowing she had a long ways to go back home.
After a few minutes of walking, Roll was feeling herself slow down, and her energy being drained her body. It was demanding for her to rest, but she knew it wasn't safe to just do so in the middle of a snowy wasteland. All of a sudden, she felt the ground shake, noticing an Ice Golem approach. Its focus set on her, not just being a random ice creature that wandered around. "D-darn it…" she hissed, wishing it could just ignore her and let her be. The Ice Golem reached toward her. Roll wanted to move, but her side twinged in pain, forcing her to stop completely. "OWW!" she cried before feeling the cold hand wrap around her body. "W-where are you taking me?" she stuttered. She didn't get a response, as the golem began to walk, one stomp after another. The last thing she saw was the Ice Golem putting its other hand over her head, using its fingers like a cage.
Meanwhile, in the Ice King's domain, Doctor Princess was waiting idly in her cell with the frozen Jake block sitting nearby. Though suddenly, she saw the Ice King himself, who entered the room and approached the icy bars. "I'm sorry, Doctor Princess, but I don't think it's going to work out much," he apologized. This just confused her. She knew he considered capturing someone dating them. "Um… alright… so I am free to go?" she raised an eyebrow, finding this strange, but she was not going to complain. "Yeah, you can. I got a new princess I plan on marrying," the Ice King claimed while letting her just freely walk out of the cell.
They both saw a penguin enter the room, waddling over toward the Ice King. "Wak-wak!" it squawked, being Gunter the Penguin, his most loyal penguin of the bunch to him. "Oh. They got the girl you saw? …she's here?! Bring her in! Bring her in!" the Ice King exclaimed and squealed. They watched as a few more penguins entered, pushing along Roll. She had her arms and legs frozen together, being heartbroken from the adventure that seemed to keep getting worse each moment. Doctor Princess was frozen herself, emotionally, after she realized who it was. "Roll!?" she yelped in shock, recognizing the bubblegum hair on the human child. The Ice King always had trouble with age, so he didn't care if the princess was undead skeletal or if it was even an animal. He would attempt to marry anyone.
"Yeah! I got lucky, didn't I? The penguins saw her enter the really snowy parts of the Ice Kingdom, so I sent some of them and an Ice Golem to go get her," the Ice King claimed. Roll looked over to Doctor Princess, having a feeling like she had seen her before. "Hello?" Roll greeted her, but her arms from the wrist up were starting to feel like they were on pins and needles. The exposure to the cold was really starting to catch up with her. "W-wait. Ice King, I changed my mind. Just let her go," Doctor Princess insisted. The Ice King just shrugged. "Sorry, but like I said, I don't think it'll work out," he insisted before shooting a bolt of ice out of his hands, freezing Doctor Princess's feet in blocks of ice. "Gunter. Can you escort her out of the kingdom?" he requested. "Wak!" Gunter squawked, and he and another penguin came over, grabbing her feet and beginning to push her along, though Roll had to wonder why a dog frozen in ice was being used to hold up a lamp.
"Sheesh… you are going to need to be cleaned up if we're going to get married. But… you look familiar, though…" the Ice King commented, seeing Roll's bloodied hands and her various scrapes and bruises. She just stared at the somewhat insane blue skinned man. "Married?" she repeated. Just uttering the word in front of the long nosed king of ice made her feel uncomfortable and scared stiff.
While Doctor Princess was being pushed to the outskirts of the Ice Kingdom, she could only think of what to do, not sure whether to go contact Princess Bubblegum about this or not. The penguins stopped pushing her, all of a sudden, when they were nearing the exit to the kingdom. "Wak," she heard not entirely sure what happened though, she just stared in awe realizing they had stopped because of familiar person approaching. "Doctor Princess? Hey! It's been a while," it was Finn, and he was approaching her, seeming to not care for the cold environment, acting as if it didn't bother him. "Hey, Gunter," he gave a quick hello to the penguin that just waved in response.
Finn saw Gunter and the other penguin leave having done their job of nearly escorting her out of the kingdom. Finn came over pulling out his sword and stabbing the ice blocks that imprisoned her feet, shattering them to tiny shards. "Wow… Finn it certainly has been a long time! I'm sorry to ruin our happy little meeting, but there is a problem," Doctor Princess started, knowing she had to inform him now of what the Ice King was going to do with his daughter, glad that she had run into him for help. Finn however had been following his daughter's footprints so far, but now in the Ice Kingdom, they had vanished, so he had no trail to follow. "It's about Roll," she said, getting his attention.
"You've seen Roll? Where is she?!" Finn questioned, about as frantically as anyone would expect. Doctor Princess pointed to the Ice King's domain. "Jake is frozen in there and he can't get out. And Roll… the Ice King's going to marry her," she explained. Quickly, Finn went pale, and seemed to be in awe of what he just heard. Finn just focused his gaze at the icy fortress and let out a growl. "That's it… I'm sick of that blue jerk messing with my life…" Finn hissed. Doctor Princess watched as he charged onward to attack the Ice King and save his brother and daughter. He was in a fit of fury, just hearing the words alone. Doctor Princess didn't even know what he was going to do once he confronted the Ice King, but she knew it was going to be bad.
