Simon hissed as he grabbed his head, he was sitting on a chair and could not even concentrate on keeping his own powers in check as he was gasping for air, almost as if he had run an entire marathon without a break.
He was not doing good, not at all.
Concerned Marceline looked at him and then put a hand on his shoulder. "Relax, it's going to be okay."
Simon hissed as he squinted his eyes. "It's like there's a million noises playing at ones in my head." he seethed. "And none of them make sense, urgh." he hissed.
Marceline swallowed, she remembered what Bubblegum had said, about the ice king having been alive for over a thousand years and how all those memories were to much to access at ones.
"Shut-up-shut-up-shut-up-shut-up!" Simon hissed as he pressed his hands against his ears and then his voice changed to become more gruff. "I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" he shouted as a wave of ice exploided from his body and put a layer over the entire room and he sat there gasping.
"Simon! Calm down!" Marceline asked as she moved to his front and grabbed his hands. "Remember what I told you, must not use your powers! Using your powers will be making you weaker and it'll be more difficult for us to help you, worst case scenario you could die! So come back to the room okay? Focus on my voice, look at me."
And Simon gasped as he sat there then looked up at Marceline. "I.. I'm sorry… I'm better now." he swallowed.
"Are you sure?" Marceline asked.
"Yeah." Simon nodded, Marceline nodded then glanced at the bedside table where a pair of glasses laid and she picked them up.
"You havn't even worn your glasses yet." Marceline commented.
"Oh? I need glasses?" Simon asked in a blink.
"Well, not anymore no. But I really like how they look on you." Marceline commented then sighed. "here." she put the glasses in Simons front pocket of the sweater. "Wear them when you feel like it."
Simon glanced down at the glasses in his pocket then up at Marceline. "Huh, that's pretty rare people stop using glasses isn't it?" he asked. "Usually that takes lazer eye surgery, but for ones I am actually pretty sure I never got one of those." he commented amused and amused Marceline shook her head.
Just then the door busted open and both Marceline and Simon turned to see four people standing there.
A purpleskinned lanky wizard, another wizard who wore mittens, someone who basically just looked like a leaf with legs and Huntress Wizard.
It was the purple skinned one who reacted first as he threw his arms up in the air and grinned. "ICE KING!" he shouted happily running straight for Simon and jumped into him embracing him deeply. "It's been way to long dude!" he grinned sitting back.
Confused Simon looked at the guy now sitting on him. "Oh… Hey." he blinked. "Erhh, you're.." he squinted his eyes.
"Oh I see you forgot all about me again that's okay." The purple skinned man grinned. "That happens all the time! Sure explains why you haven't called. It's me! Abracadaniel your best buddie!"
Simon blinked. "Abracadaniel?" he asked.
"What's up my man." The odd looking man with mittens greeted.
"And that's Ancient Sleeping Magi of Life Giving!" Abracadaniel introduced the stranger. "Or just Life giving Magus for short, you remember him! Oh and that's leaf man he's a leaf." he pointed at the leaf.
"Hey." Leaf man raised a hand.
"Don't mind if you don't remember him, neither do I honestly." Abracadaniel admitted as he stood up. "But what matters is that we are all part of the same secret wizard society! Society of Guisuppe!" he grinned happily raising a hand in the air which showcased a golden ring with an emblem, and the two other as well raised their hands.
Simon blinked confused then Abracadaniel looked at him. "Ice king! Your ring!"
"Erh yeah about that." Simon swallowed.
And Abracadaniels face faltered, he looked absolutely heartbroken. "You lost the ring? You can't have! It's the symbol of our society!"
"Erh, well. You see." Simon fibbed. "Some junk happened and I erh.."
"Pst Simon." Marceline poked him on the shoulder and Simon looked over his shoulder to see Marceline, then she dropped a ring into his hand. "It was in the pocket of your wizards robe."
"My what? Never mind, thanks Marceline." Simon smiled thankfully as he put the ring on his finger and raised his hand with the others making the others cheer. "Marceline I got no idea what is going on." he whispered through the corner of his mouth.
Marceline smiled amused then looked up and met Huntress wizards gaze, she was the one who looked more serious and she stepped forward.
"Magic Woman is moving this way." Huntress Wizard informed. "This is no longer a safe place for the Ice King, I called re-inforsment to help move him while our comrades keep magic woman back. We got a plan, we shall transport Ice king to a place that negates magic. At that place he will play the song of longing to attract Magic woman, ones she is lured there her powers will have weakened and we can take her down."
"Hey wait hold on!" Marceline exclaimed. "You intend to use Simon as bait? You can't do that! Simon is in no condition for that sort of thing."
"Simon? What kind of nerd name is that?" Abracadaniel asked.
"You shut up!" Marceline seethed making Abracadaniel step back frightened.
"Marceline." Simon tried.
"No Simon!" Marceline demanded. "You always told me to keep myself safe, well now it's your turn!"
"What else would you suggest?" Huntress wizard asked. "He cannot stay here regardless, she will find him. Isn't it better she finds him at a place where her powers are weakened than here? Isn't it better that it'll be somewhere where we can be ready for her?"
Marceline opened her mouth to object, but then she closed it and her eyes squinted.
"What does that lady want with me anyway?" Simon asked. "What did I do to her?"
"Maybe she's a crazy jealous x-girlfriend?" Life giving magus suggested. "Chicks are crazy about you, you have chicks over like all the time! You are a ladies man after-all."
"I am?" Simon asked confused only to get a *whack* over the head by Marceline. "HEY!" he exclaimed.
"Just don't get any ideas." Marceline muttered.
"Urgh, this would be so much easier if I knew what I had done." Simon hissed holding his head the place where Marceline had hit him. "You're acting like i'm some sort of pervert."
And Marceline bit her lip then smiled amused as she shook her head.
"Let's go." Huntress Wizard asked. "We need to hurrie before Magic Woman finds our trail."
"Just a moment!" Marceline exclaimed as she stood up. "Come this way!" she asked as she flew through the down and down the hallway the rest following her on foot.
"Dude what are you wearing?" Life giving Magus asked looking at Simon.
"Huh?" Simon asked.
"No offense, but you look like a total nerd." Abracadaniel pointed out. "Where's your wizard gear?"
"Oh." Simon looked down at himself, he was actually just wearing very ordinary brown pants, green sweater and shoes, nothing out of the ordinary there.
"Is that glasses?" Abracadaniel asked pointing at Simons front pocket. "Lame!"
"They are not lame, they are cool." Simon responded in a slight pout.
"Well, you are the king of cool after-all, you're the Ice king, so I guess you know best." Abracadaniel grinned as they finally reached their destination bubblegums lab.
Marceline had headed for the grown standing on the table and picked it up, then carefully put it down in a square case and sealed the case with a lid, the case also had a rem so it could be carried like a sports back and Marceline did exactly that. "Okay now we can go." she said.
Huntress Wizard glanced at it and then up at Marceline. "Am I right to assume that the Ice King is connected to the ground and taking him to far away from it his power will drain, so that's why we must bring it with us?"
"That's exactly it." Marceline nodded.
"Woah that crown looked all kinds of messed up." Abracadaniel had to admit. "There were cracks all over it, so that's why you're not wearing it. That sucks! I'm so sorry Ice King."
"I'm not." Simon replied. "Don't ask me why i'm not sorry because I don't know, I just know i'm not."
"Njah must be nice." Life giving Magus commented looking at his own mitten wearing hands. "Being able to turn off your own powers ones in a while."
"Yeah." Leaf man replied and they all turned to him. "I'm a leaf!" he grinned.
"Yes erhm, I suppose we should be leaving." Simon commented.
"Wohoo look at us! The guisuppe society back again to do some really cool magic!"
Marceline blinked. "Weren't all wizards in wizard sucked out of magic?" she asked.
Abracadaniel pouted. "We are actually not very powerful wizards at all, magic woman she…. She just moved right over us not even bothering. It's so embarrassing."
"Wait… Your magic was so pathetic she wouldn't even take it?" Marceline asked.
"NO!" Abracadaniel exclaimed. "Yes." he then admitted.
"Huntess Wizard, what good will these guys do?" Marceline asked slightly annoyed.
"It's what I could get on a short notice." Huntress Wizard replied in a snort. "So are you coming or what?" she asked heading outside and soon the others following realizing they didn't really have a choice.
