Chapter 5: Revelations

"Finn," they all shouted.

Everyone stood in complete shock at what they had just seen. Not only did Princess Bubblegum just hit another royalty across the face, but the person she hit had turned out to be Finn. From what they saw Bubblegum's hand was shaking from the realization of what she had just done and who she had just hit.

"Finn," was all she could say. From what Bubblegum could see, this was Finn despite the differences. He was clearly taller than he was before. Even with most of his body being concealed by the cloak she could also tell that he had a more well defined Physique. He also displayed an aura of complete confidence and authority around him. It was almost impossible to believe that this man, who had just disrespected her, was the respectful yet undisciplined Hero of OOO.

"I didn't want any of you to find out who I was," Replied Finn. "I was hoping to make you all think that your former hero had started a new life here and thus he didn't want any of you interfering in it. Yet Bubblegum's pride just ruined that plan."

After the initial shock had faded from the room someone had finally decided to speak up.

"Finn you're the King of this place," asked Flame Princes in disbelief.

"Yes I am Flame Princess. I am the King of The Sovereign Kingdom."

"But how is that even possible? When did you even build this place?"

"I didn't build this place. We built this place. We as in everyone who lives here built this great kingdom," he said proudly.

"But why would you do that Finn? Why would you leave us all behind like that? Why didn't you stay? Was dealing with your past actions really too much for you," she asked.

"That's what you think this is all about?" he asked angrily. "You think I left all because of heartbreak, because I couldn't handle what I had done," he shouted.

"Yes," she answered worriedly. "What else could you have left for?"

"I left because of this right here Flame Princess, because no one ever understands how I feel or takes into consideration what I would feel when asked to do something. I left because I was tired of being The Tool of OOO. I was tired of everyone's selfishness, tired of always being told to do things without any of you thinking how those things affect me. It all came to me after you busted right in to my former home telling me you needed my help to perform a return coup on your father. Why didn't you think of how I would react to seeing you so soon after our break-up? Instead you just thought I would be all hero like and act like I didn't have any emotions, like I didn't have any feeling for you."

"Finn I…"

"You're what Flame Princess, your sorry was what you were going to say or that I should have behaved differently? Haha, this is the problem with you FP, you always make rash decisions that are based solely on your emotions. That is why some of your people left you like some of PB's people left here. You made a law that of no lies and secrets not because you thought it would make your people better people, but because you didn't want to get hurt again by lies and secrets. I'll admit no lies are a good thing, but so is privacy. People deserve to keep a few secrets Flame Princess, not all secrets are a bad thing as you have come to believe. It's that emotional rashness you have that keeps you from being a good leader to all of your people. That's why some of them joined me, because I allow them their individual Glob given rights.

"Finn you can't just say that," said Marceline.

"Silence Marishka, I will be heard," said Finn.

At that Marceline couldn't talk anymore, which surprised everyone else since they had no idea why he just called her by that name. Seeing this, he decided to explain what he had just done.

"I'm sure you have all heard of that old saying," he laughed. "Know a demons true name and you have complete control over it. I know every demon of The Nightosphere's true name thanks to a certain former right hand of Hunson Abadeer named Armand Locke who gave me a book containing all these names. He left because he had grown to see the once great and feared Nightosphere become nothing more than a tourist attraction. I offered him a new place to live where he wouldn't have to feel that way and he even gave me that book he stole as a sign of his new loyalty. That is one of the reasons why I don't fear the Kingdoms of OOO. Should they ever threaten me or my people, I could just make the demons of the Nightosphere tear you all to shreds.

"I must say though Marceline, you really hurt me when you thought the reason I was spending more time with you was because I was trying to replace FP with you. I was doing that because I thought you were the most life smart when it came to all this. I was waiting for you to give me some advice on what I should do to fix everything that had happened. Instead you had to think it was about trying to find a new lover."

Marceline tried to resond to what he just said but was unable to.

Hmm still can't speak I see. Very well, Marishka I release you."

"Finn what happened to you?" asked Marceline in complete and utter terror.

"I've changed Marceline; all thanks to years of being seen as nothing more than an errand by so many people. I can say Slime Princess asking me to be her pretend lover in order to help her keep control of her kingdom really didn't help me to see things in a better light. That right there was just one of the most selfish things anyone could have asked for, yet I did it anyway because I was a Hero. Well not anymore, my days of being the Great Tool of OOO are over, you can all go find yourselves a new one to take my place," he laughed. "Still I doubt anyone will be dumb enough to take over that hell of an existence. This was a great meeting I must say, I was able to relieve so much pent up rage thanks to this. If we ever meet again, I'm sure things will be just as fun as they were now.

With that they all left in utter bewilderment at what they had just discovered. That they are the reason as to why Finn had become what he is now.

Now I bet you all think this was a horrible chapter, but like I said I'm going full dark side with this story. Tell you the truth though I do want to turn in a positive direction, it's just I don't know how. What could possibly fix this mess? I'm no therapist. Uh well to me what you think and what you all want. I need some ideas if you want this to not end with unhappiness. That and I myself fear I may hit writers block soon.
