Chapter 6: The Ice Prince
Fionna was waking up very early morning. She was confused to see Finn not in the bed, but she didn't mind it at all. She stood up and smiled, looking through the window to see no more snow outside, but she noticed something odd sticking out from the base of the tree. It confused her as she went downstairs still in her night gown and leaving the tree fort outside to see what it was.
Fionna went around the tree fort. She gasped, covering her mouth and seeing Finn stuck on the tree with the slowly melting ice sickle still through his chest. He groaned, seeing her with tears falling down her eyes. "F-fionna…" Finn mumbled. "W-what happened?!" Fionna screamed. Seeing him pinned like that nearly made her break down alone. "Ice Queen… attacked… p-please… Fionna… d-don't cry… everything will be fine," he groaned and muttered while rubbing her head, trying to reassure her. The situation was not as grim as it seemed, even though it was unbearably bad. "T-that cold hearted demon! I-I'll go get help! Just try not to move!" she told him before running away. Finn just looked at her sprint further and further away as he began to fall into deep unconsciousness.
"Wake up… Finn… Wake up! …I said awaken you fool!" Finn began to awake in a different area. He was in a dark void, looking around. It was like he was in a sick dream. In front of him, he saw a boy with white hair, a small crown and blue eyes. He was wearing a black jacket and black pants too. "W-who are you? Where am i? Did I die?" Finn questioned before getting slapped on the face.
"No, you fool! This is just your subconscious! You passed out!" the boy responded making him calm down. "I am Pagos, the prince of ice! And I am inhabiting your body due to you eating my crown's jewel!" Pagos introduced himself trying to prove to him that he wasn't an imaginary illusion brought on by blood loss. "…Ooooh! You mean the crystal that turned into an apple? No wonder it had no taste and cut my tongue," Finn responded remembering what he ate back at the Ice King's fortress. "I have an offer for you," Pagos started with a grin on his face.
"I can save your life. That is, if you let me use your body to help me get my sword back. It was the one with the snowflake finger guard lying beside my jewel. I am now like an alter persona of you, an entirely different personality," Pagos explained his offer. Finn didn't see any harm in that, his options simply boiled down to either death or just getting a sword back. It wasn't a hard choice for him to make. "Yeah sure, anything!" he agreed. Pagos grinned as he pulled his small crown off his head, watching it disintegrate in front of them into small flying snowflakes.
Suddenly, Finn woke back up, but he wasn't in control. He couldn't talk speak or move at all. "Yes! The Lord of Ice, has resurrected!" he heard himself shout. Finn was horrified. He was not the one who said that and it wasn't his voice either. It was Pago's voice, and he now had complete control of his body.
Pagos punched the ice sickle that was impaling their body to the tree. A crack appeared on the sickle as he began rapidly punching it until it shattered to pieces. He fell over on his side, chuckling and laughing while coughing in pain. He looked down at his heavily damaged stomach, but he held his hand to it and covered the wound with ice. "It has been far too long since I've had a body!" Pagos declared while standing up. Finn was feeling the same amount of pain that Pagos felt, but he was glad to know that he was going to live after all. "G-great job man… n-now I can have my body back, right?" Finn asked but Pagos laughed. "You made a deal to let me get my sword back. Remember?" the ice prince reminded the heroic boy.
"Oh! Yeah I did... well let's go then!" Finn said excitedly. Pagos nodded, putting his hands together and forming a new ice crown, putting it straight onto his head. Finn had a bad feeling about his new alter ego which he had acquired from eating that crystal, but he decided not to think about it. The ice prince began to run, heading for the Ice Kingdom leaving behind a crimson pool of blood and the ice from where Finn had been impaled to his tree the whole night.
Meanwhile, Fionna was in the Candy Kingdom, running towards the castle. She was panting and rapidly banged her fists on the door. She had run the whole way there. She saw Princess Bubblegum open the door. She was wearing a pink sweater and pink pants from the long snowy night that had been going on. "Fionna? What are you doing here in your night clothing?" Bubblegum asked raising an eyebrow. "I-I woke up, and Finn was pinned to the tree! The Ice Queen attacked last night! He has a giant ice sickle right through his stomach!" Fionna tried to explain what was wrong as calmly as possible.
"What?!" Bubblegum screeched in shock and outrage. "Peppermint Butler! Get the medical kit and get to Finn's tree fort! Hurry!" she yelled to her butler before running off with Fionna to do what she could to help. After all, she was more intelligent and knew a lot about medicine.
