Chapter 2 of: Mad ruler going crazy
In Ice Kings castle stood Gunter, he was kwanking alone. He was al alone. Ice King had gone out to hang out with Marceline.
"Kwank- Kwank." Gunter looked out the window, seeing a running Finn swaying his sword back and fort while shouting "Adventure time!" Gunter left the window, heading to a hidden room. When Finn arrived at the entrance, he was welcomed by a happy pokerfaced Gunter. Or at least he thought the penguin looked happy. Who knew? Making room for himself to leap past the clever penguin, Finn took two steps back. On the third step he started to take long skips forward, but Gunter stopped him by waving a glass jar containing an intense blue like liquid. Finn stopped abruptly in front of the penguin. With wide eyes, Finn stared at what Gunter was holding.
"Dude, is that what I think it is?" He pointed at the liquid. Gunter kwanked and moved it closer to Finn, gesturing him to take it.
It scared Finn that this penguin was so clever, always one step ahead. He brushed the scary thought out of his mind, replacing it with a sweet bubblegum colored hair instead. He was confident that his first crush would turn back to her old self again. As a smile graced his thin lips, Finn started singing.
"My sweet Princess. Oh, my sweet Princess.
I hope you will come back to me,
Embrace me; take care of me, yeah!
I love you so much, will you look at me that,"
Finn stopped his singing when he heard a muffled laugh behind a dark green bush. He blushed madly. Cautiously he brought out his sword, placing it in front of him, pointing it at the bush. But before he could say anything, Marceline popped up from the bush with her scary face. Surprised by her sudden appearance, Finn fell; as he fell to his butt he felt the glass jar slip out of his grasp. Everything went slow motion, he tried to turn around and grab the fragile container, but he didn't make it. To his surprise, when he thought he was to late, he saw Ice King lying flat on his beard, hands stretched out, holding the jar.
"That was a close one, hmm bud?" The Ice King grinned at his good old frienemy. For the first time Finn was actually relieved to see the Ice King. Finn stood up from the dirt, dusted himself clean (ish), took the liquid from the Ice King with a short thanks and started walking back to the Candy Kingdom. Marceline said farewell to her precious and clueless Simon before she tagged along with Finn. The Ice King wanted to protest, saying he wanted to see Princess Bubblegum too, but since Marceline asked him to go back home to Gunter as a favor, he obeyed.
Next to Finn floated Marceline. She decided that it was time to pay a visit to a special someone. The rumors had even spread to her bat ears. And when she knew about it, it was important for her to come and tease her best friend. Finn felt her prying eyes burn holes at him. Preparing himself for the worst teasing, he turned his attention at his tag along companion.
" What is it Marc? Why did you join me?" A brooding face covered him up by the thought of having to share his private time with P.B.
"No, I was just wondering if the rumors were true? You know, about Bonniebel." They were almost at the castle. Marceline didn't get an answer. Instead Finn sprinted to the candy castle, to where his Princess was held captive. Temporarily.
Princess Bubblegum was playing with a big piece of her hair. Under the collar of her dress she brought out the necklace Finn had retrieved from her old friend Shoko. With the power she was able to make a candy dummy of her hair, producing a Bubblegum double. Ripping the bottom part of her dress, she rapped the fabric over the dummy. In the background she could hear Finn call her name. Her plan was going as the small voice in her head had said it would. Quickly she moved to the right side of the cell door, where it would open. With great force Finn kicked the door open. But before he could reach his hand for the dummy that he thought was the real thing, he felt the jar disappear from hid hold. As he was about to turn, he saw a flash of P.B's hand, and then only blackness and pain on one part of his neck.
Princess Bubblegum closed the thick door behind her. A mad smile came to her face. The voice told her that it was time for the final ingredient. Her feet moved by themselves, she only closed her eyes, humming the song of destruction, letting her feet lead the way. Only few meters to her destination, leaving a few hundred passed out bananagaurds behind. Only Peppermint Butler stood in her way now.
"Princess, why do you want to go through this?" Her smile was not a sane one anymore. The voice laughed and so did she.
" You should not stand up to me, you are only a menial. You should revere* me. But if you want to vie* me, than let the match begin." Both were in a defense position. Peppermint Butler was the first to attack. With dark words, he summoned a shadow beast. It was the size of ten Princess Bubblegum's. Yet when it met eye to eye with her, it could sense the princess's dark aura, almost as great as the Lich himself. The creature whimpered back to its world. Princess Bubblegum started laughing with mockery.
"Was that the best you could do? It was such a skittish* creature. I feel even sorry for you, but NOW its my time to raze* you." She charged at him, with a swift movement of her foot, she broke the poor Peppermint into a million pieces. Her eyes gazed at her work. Not proud. She was doing this for her kingdom, so why were they so against it. But she knew what was better for her people. They didn't have the brains like her. She could tell that she was loosing her mind. It had started a while back, the voice had started talking to her six years ago, and she was able to ignore it till this year started. Still she was sane, her actions are primarily for her people.
She went inside her laboratory. It was considerably untouched. She picked up the jar from a hidden pocket on the inner layers of her dress. Disposing the cap, she put it next to the machine. Next to that were a piece of paper and a feather pen. On the piece of paper she wrote a massage. When she finished the last part, she took the paper, and turned around.
"Marceline, I know you are here. Show yourself." As she was asked, Marceline appeared in front of her. Tears formed in the princess's crystal blue eyes. She went and hugged her.
"Marceline, my dear friend. I ask you to deliver this message to my valiant* worrier. Finn." Marceline looked at the person in front of her, confused.
"Bonniebel, what are you planning. Hekk, why are you even doing this if it makes you cry?" Their eyes met one another. Princess Bubblegum tried to give her best friend a smile, but it never came, only more tears.
"I can feel myself loosing my sanity. This is for the safety of everyone in the land of Ooo. Do it as a last request from me." Marceline felt her eyes tear up. Shutting her eyes to try not to feel the emotional pain. With soft lips Bubblegum pecked the Vampire Queen's cold skin. Marceline wanted to say one last word, but it was to late. Her friend pushed her out of the room, locking it behind her.
Princess Bubblegum faced her last invention. This would help everyone, including her. She picked up the jar containing the special liquid; dumping everything in her machine. It started to shake wildly. Bright light formed around it, swallowing her in it. Her last tear never hit the floor before there was a "BANG"!
