A/N Yes I am aware this is probably the most boring thing you have ever read. The idea of the story I think is a great idea, I'm just sucking at getting it to work right. Any suggestions on how I could make this better for you I would gladly accept. Until I figure this out, more craptastic story! YAY!
Ch.4 New Discoveries = New Rules
The trio arrived at Marceline's house and proceeded to knock on her door.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
"Marceline its Finn, Jake, and Adam. Are you home?" No response.
"Maybe she's not home." Jake pointed out.
"Well we have two choices then: We can either wait here till she gets home or we can head to see Bubblegum."
Suddenly they heard two screams coming from outside the cave.
"Oh what now, more nonsense?"
The trio runs out to Tree Trunks and Mr. Pig running from Creepers.
"At least it's something easy. Get ready Finn!"
"Jake, help Tree Trunks and Pig!"
"Got it" Jake stretched to get the two to safety while Adam and Finn dealt with the simple nobodies.
"Gotta love how easy those Creepers are."
"Thank you boys for saving us! I thought Finn was the last human."
"The keyword being "was". Yeah Finn isn't the last human anymore." Jake replied
"Strange I thought they were after just us."
"Maybe they got too close to something? Tree Trunks, can you show us where these monsters appeared?"
"Sure."
After walking a few miles the group found themselves at a strange cavern.
"They came from in there."
"Strange." Jake said perplexed. "I don't remember this ever being here."
"Well if this is where there coming from, then let's see what they want in here."
"Jake do you think you can take these two somewhere safe while Finn and I check out the cave." Finn asked his brother.
"Sure it's not like I'll be any help fighting those things." Jake said with a hint of jealousy and worry in his voice that Adam was able to hear. Adam figure Jake still didn't trust him completely yet: they've only met yesterday.
"Thanks Jake. Ready when you are."
"Then let us be off."
Adam and Finn proceeded with Adam lighting the cave with his keyblade and Finn taking care of any Dusks or Creepers. They suddenly started to hear a familiar female grunting.
"That sounds like Marceline!" Finn said.
"Then let's hurry!"
The two found themselves in the Central Chamber where they were saw Marceline fighting of a berserker. But they were surprised at what they saw next: Marceline slaying the nobody with her axe bass.
"How did she do that?" Finn looking at Adam who was equally shocked because they both thought only a keyblade could kill nobodies. Suddenly more nobodies arrived in force so the two hurried to her aid.
"Need a hand?"
"What are you two doing here?"
"We should be asking you that!"
"Tell you what; I'll explain why I'm here when we get rid of these things."
"Then let's not waste time! We've got nobodies to kill!"
After spending fifteen minutes fighting off repeated waves of nobodies they finally stopped appearing.
"So Marceline, why are you here in this cave?"
"I'm here because I got a note telling me to come here immediately if I wanted what was stolen from me. Someone stole my bass and then left it here in this cave that was swarming with those things."
"May I ask where you got that bass?"
"It's a family heirloom that I've turned into a bass. Why?"
Adam began to explain while Finn took a look around the chamber for anything cool they could take with them.
"So how come I can hit these "nobodies."" Marceline asked.
"Maybe it's because it's not a regular axe; it's a magic axe so we know have a loophole around the nobodies invincibility.
"Hey guys check these out!" Finn cried from the other side of the chamber. They find Finn wearing and posing with two glowing gauntlets.
"Finn where did you get those things" Marceline said holding back a chuckle.
"I found them on the floor over there."
"I wonder if these work on nobodies. If they do then Jake will be able to fight them with us." Suddenly as if on cue a Dusk appeared from behind a pile of rubble.
"Well let's test them out!" Finn ran at the Dusk and destroyed it with one punch.
"I think Jakes going to love the souvenir we got him. Let's just pray they aren't cursed by some magic we shouldn't be messing with. We should head back." Adam suggested.
As they exit the cave with Marceline holding her umbrella for protection from the sun they see Jake is not there.
"Huh you'd think he would be out here waiting for us or went into the cave after us." Adam said as he looked around.
"Maybe he's at Tree Trunks filling his face with apple pie. I wouldn't be surprised."
"Well then what are we waiting for. I could go for something red right about now." Adam put a few feet of distance between him and Marceline that she immediately saw and explained that she doesn't need to drink blood but instead drinks shades of red.
"Well then stay away from my shirt! I would like to keep my clothing the way it is thank you."
Just as Finn predicted they found Jake outside Tree Trunk's house downing his fourth apple pie.
"Oh thank you Jake for leaving us some." Finn said looking at four empty pie trays.
"Well you were taking forever and I was hungry."
"We were only in there for fifteen minutes."
"It felt like more like an hour."
"Boys don't argue I've made more. Come on in." Tree Trunks said as she invited them inside.
"Thank you Tree Trunks!" The four said full.
"It's the least I could do for saving me and Mr. Pig. So why were those monsters in that cave?"
"It was a trap for Marceline although they weren't expecting her to be able to fight back and they sure weren't expecting us."
"Well as long as they're gone I'm happy."
"By the way Jake we got you something." Adam pulled the gauntlets out of his backpack. "With these you'll be able to fight the nobodies with us."
"YES! No more hanging out on the sidelines for me!" Jake said ecstatic that he doesn't have to watch everyone else fight anymore.
"Alright we should probably tell Bubblegum about the Nobody attacks." Said Finn
"Well if we tell her that's only another thing she has to worry about. Isn't there a giant party she's planning?"
"Ehh I'm sure she can handle it."
Meanwhile in the candy kingdom…
"Princess, what color should the streamers be over the main entrance?" asked Servant #1
"Princess, what snacks should be on the ballroom table?" asked Servant #2
"Princess, what color lids should we have in the public restrooms?" asked Servant #3
"Princess!"
"PRINCESS!"
"PRINCESS!"
ENOUGH!
Princess Bubblegum yelled for a moment of silence.
"Please may I have a moment of silence? I will leave the answers with you for now." The servants understood and gave PB much needed space.
"Well I see your having a lumpy day." Said LSP as she floated through the open door to the grand hall.
"Hey LSP. I don't know I'm just overwhelmed with how important his party is and I want to make sure it's perfect."
"Oh my Glob girl, all you need a little breather from all this madness. Why don't you just go for a small walk until you feel better?"
"Thanks I might do that." Said PB monotone.
Meanwhile back at the plot…
"Well thanks for the pies Tree Trunks!" Finn said as they set off to see PB.
"Sun going down so I'd say we've got about two hours of light left. Let's hope the nobodies decided to call it a day before we run out of light to see them with." Said Jake
"It would probably be worse if we had to fight heartless since they blend in a lot better." Stated Adam
"So we should probably quit dragging our feet and get moving before they can attack us right."
"Yeah let's get moving!" As the four approached Candy kingdom the sun had just set and Marceline was no longer caring her umbrella. What was strange is that when they entered town no one was there at all. "HEY! WHERE IS EVERYBODY?" Finn shouted hoping to get someone's attention. Suddenly the candy people came out of their homes and started walking like they were zombies.
"Oh no not candy zombies again!"
"Finn they don't look like they did before. They don't look like the rotting corpses from before."
"So their being controlled?" asked Marceline
"Beautiful! Zombies we can't kill are just what we need right now!" Adam yelled annoyed
"Maybe it's that thing!" shouted Finn as he pointed towards a white being with puppet control bars for hands.
"That's a new one." Adam said as the being flew into the castle.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go get that thing!"
"You guys go! I'll give the candy people something entertaining to fight so they can't make your fight any harder!" Adam volunteered.
"Remember you can't kill them, their still people inside."
"Got it! I'll use a light touch." Said Adam as he grabbed Peppermint butler and used him as a discus. Next as the door shot Adam locked it in case he couldn't contain the zombies. "Alright you want them, then you got me in your way!"
"There it is!" Marceline shouted as it went into the ballroom.
As they ran into the throne room they find someone other than the nobody.
"Well it's about time you showed up." Said the strange man in black. With him was Princess Bubblegum sitting in a throne.
"Princess!" Finn and Jake yelled in unison.
"Who are you and why are you attacking the candy people! What have they done to deserve this?"
"Don't worry about that for right now because you've got this guy to deal with. Their all yours." The mysterious man disappeared into a dark portal leaving only the nobody to deal with.
Finn ran towards it to kill it but then found he was unable to move. Next he was thrown straight into the wall at full speed by just the nobody's magic. Jake and Marceline then tried as Marceline flew around as Jake got its full attention as it sucker punched the nobody followed by a slash from Marceline. As the took turn attacking the nobody stopped Jake's attack and then made Jake punch himself. It then grabbed Marceline in its bind and threw her into Jake. Finn was able to figure out where he was and then just threw his keyblade and killed the weakened nobody.
"I-I killed it?" Finn saw in disbelief as he wasn't aware what Jake and Marceline did.
"Hey we helped too!" Said Jake as Marceline got off him.
PB then began to rise from her throne. "Finn…" was all she said as she collapsed.
"Oh no! Peebles!"
"Finn dude, relax. There's got to be someone who can help her. And if all else fails we can just get Adam to help."
"That depends on what's wrong with her." Said a familiar voice at the front of the room. Adam arriving right on cue. "We should get her to the infirmary. Then we can figure out what's wrong with her."
"What about all the other candy people?"
"There still trying to figure out what just happen. I didn't answer because I was afraid of how they react to mind control. Though I can tell you that I haven't seen anybody pass out like PB is right now."
"Why is Bonnie the only one passed out on the floor?" Adam shrugged to Marceline's question.
"All I know is we should let the doctors look at her make sure she's perfectly fine."
"Alright." Finn said as he picked up Bubblegum bridal style. As they went to the infirmary they find Dr. Ice cream and Nurse Poundcake. Adam then proceeded to make up a convoluted reason why she was passed out as Finn laid PB on the table.
"Don't worry she will be fine she just needs some rest." Dr. IC said finally calming Finn down.
"We should probably head home before anything else goes wrong." The four set off for home with the mysterious man watching from the rooftops.
A/N It's not like anyone cares but I'll do it anyway. What name do you want me to give the mysterious man? And as always Review, fav, follow, and all that good stuff and I'll try to update soon.
