Chapter 7: Leaving Darkside and Oh-No.
Time can heal all wounds. But even the greatest of scarings time can not heal. DubbleDuelSword.
Finn and Adam entered the forest seeing the black trees as well as the blue leafs that flew in the air from the breeze that was being blown. This seemed like such a peaceful place nothing bad could happen right?
"How far are we from everyone else?"
"Pretty far. But the tower shouldn't be to far."
"Hey Adam can I ask you something?"
"Have you been feeling I don't know strange as of late?"
Adam had stopped walking but didn't turn to face Finn. "What are you talking about?" He said in a cold voice.
"You know like different like your not yourself."
"If you're implying that someone or something is controlling me or that I'm a completely different person then you're wrong. I'm perfectly fine. Now shut your mouth and continue walking before I have to drag your unconscious body across this damn forest!"
Finn then drew his sword pointing it at the back of Adam's had. "What is this some kind of trap? Who are you!?"
Adam then turned to face Finn seeing the sword that was just inches away from him.
"You dare draw your sword against a friend?"
"Your not Adam!"
He sighed. "How dumb are you to not see your own friend Finn? But if you choose to believe that I'm not your friend..." His hands lit up with blue fire that soon surrounded his entire body creating armor made of magical fire. "Then I'll just have to knock you out."
Finn ran towards him swinging his sword at Adam's body. But the blade stopped, a fire arm from Adam's armor extended out grabbing hold of the blade.
"Big mistake."
The arm then pulled the blade back bringing Finn forward. Adam then leaned forward elbowing Finn directly in the chest easily sending him crashing him though a tree. Adam then summoned all his armor to his arms. He then extended his arm out turning his hand upside down as a small smirk came across his. But soon grew serious as his hand fired a volley of blue fireballs at Finn and followed up with a blast from both arms using all the fire leaving a roaring fire in the process.
The fire soon subsided revealing a burned Finn. His entire body was burned along with his clothes. He laid on the floor his eyes tightly closed, his mouth was slightly opened, and sword was in the palm of his open hand. Adam slowly walked over to the boy looking at him to see if he truly was unconscious. He felt something within him he soon placed his hand on his head groaning in pain and soon released it and blinked multiple times as if he just woke up.
"W-where am I?"
He looked around his surroundings noticing the darkened areas of the forest and soon noticing Finn.
"Finn!" He went over to him noticing the sever burn marks on his body. "Man. Who the hell did this? And were was I when this happened? Hmm. Something strange is going on."
...
"Hey! Zombie king!"
"What is it that you want urchin!"
"Calm down just came to see if the surprise is ready."
"Of course it is! Do you not realize how long it's been!"
"Of course I do... but they don't. Which is going to make this all the more better."
"Yes but there are those two who escaped."
"Those two. They're nothing. They lived cause others sacrificed themselves only delaying their deaths." A black portal then opened. "I'll be back with their lifeless bodies. In the mean time it's time to raise more hell. You know what to do."
"Yes. It will be all the more easier once he finds out his heir is dead."
"Just hurry up and do it we haven't much time before they return."
...
Hours later back in Darkside our heros were outside the entrance to the tower. Finn had recovered from his burns thanks to Adams healing magic. All that remains is finding Benjamin and getting out of Darkside.
"So this is the place?" Adam asked pointing his thumb at the tower door.
"Yeah this is it. Never thought I'd be returning here." Basilisx said placing his hand on the metal door.
"Why would you say that?" Rosa asked. "Did something happen here?"
"I'd rather not talk about it. Lets just find Ben and get out of here."
Basilisx then pushed on the door opening it revealing the dark first floor of the ominous tower.
"Wow this place is dark."
"No kidding. How long as this tower been here?"
"Centuries. Possibly before the Mushroom War."
"Before the Mushroom War? Would that mean my dad might know about this place?" Finn asked.
"Probably not. I remember hearing a legend that this place was created by a dark god of some sort. But that's just a legend."
He then shot up a strand of electricity towards the ceiling hitting a chandelier that lit up the entire room. The room was quite large, it had a staircase that led up to the higher floors of the tower north of the entrance. Not much else of interest other than a large stone statue of a deity of some sort. The statue looked to have some type of armor on his body, stone jeans if possible, boots, and had these markings on his face, and had long hair. But the most noticeable thing was that it was covered in blood of all different shades.
"What is that?" Asked Finn stepping closer to the statue.
"That's Razor. The first ever vampire. His statue is used during the ritual for one to become apart of the vampire clan. It's drenched in the blood of thousands of other vampires as well as my own. A vampire is hung over the statue as their body is cut open. The blood then drips on the statue to see if they truly belong to the vampire clan. If they are they join the ranks."
"And if they aren't?"
Basilisx pointed up. Finn looked and saw many hanging bodies of men, women, boys, and girls all have the blood come right out of them as was their death.
"That's horrible."
"Not it was their punishment for thinking that they could be one of us. They brought it upon themselves. Now let's go if anything Ben should be on the top floor."
Basilisx took his leave soon followed by everyone else who had disturbed looks on their faces from hearing what Basilisx just said and showed them.
They went up the stairs entering room after room to reach the top. As they went up it became much darker and Basilisx grew more distant. From every floor past the twentieth skeletons of fallen vampires were seen some being stabbed onto the wall while others sat on the floor covered in spider webs. This place seemed so ominous it was like they were being watched by something. Eventually the reached the second to last floor. It was a wooden hallway completely drenched in darkness, if it wasn't for Seraphina being a fire elemental they wouldn't be able to see. Basilisx took the first step and a loud rumble was heard from the room above.
"Guys. Stay here."
"No way!" Finn shouted about to run ahead but was stopped by Basilisx unsheathing his sword.
"I'm telling you to stay here 'cause what ever is on the floor above can easily make this hallway capsize."
He then grew his wings out and flew towards the opposite end of the hallway heading up the stairs to the last room. As he entered he saw a gigantic black creature that appeared to be fighting a wolf. The wolf had sharp dark blue fur, and strands of red fur on its forehead. The beast also had a black sword on its back that had the silver handle of a dragon. The beast fired purple shots of energy at the creature baring its fangs but not wolf fangs. Vampire fangs. Basilisx was took-en back by this. A half-breed but I thought that I was the only existing half-breed alive! Basilisx then entered the room seeing that it was completely made of white bricks. He didn't have time to to admire it at the moment 'cause the colossal monster was standing over him. The creature looked to be made of shadow, it had a red crystal like eye, sharp teeth, and had tentacle like arms coming out from the sides of it. The monster slammed its arms down at Basilisx and easily cut them in half however the monster easily regenerated its limbs back looking even more stronger.
"Great! This thing can regenerate itself!"
Has he complained the creature turned swinging its tall that was completely unaware to Basilisx. Right before the tall was able to make contact with Basilisx the wolf came to Basilisx's side sinking its teeth into the monster's tall and managed to throw the creature to the other side of the room.
"Pay attention Basilisx!" The wolf barked at him in a deep voice.
"How do you-"
"Fly!"
Basilisx turned back to the monster seeing that it swung its tall once more. He flew up avoiding its attack as the wolf grew shadow black wings of his own flying up with Basilisx. The wolf then grabbed his sword's handle by the mouth (what else would he use. his paws?) and flew towards to creature slashing away at its limbs and torso. Basilisx joined in too shooting lightning at the creature's eye while hacking away at the monster's head. The monster then let out a gigantic roar like scream causing the entire tower to shake. The monster then grew out more limbs replacing the once it had lost and easily swatted away Basilisx like he was a bug. Basilisx crashed into the wall leaving his indent along with a hole and cracks surrounding it. The monster then went to smash the wolf into the ground but the wolf jumped up landing on the creature's fist and ran up the monster's arm with lightning speed. It leaped off mid-way up the arm towards its eye and impaled its cornea with its sword causing the eye to shader. The monster began to flail like crazy and the wolf jumped off it towards Basilisx.
"Basilisx! Fire an Electro Orb at where it's eye used to be!"
Basilisx then got out of the wall and charged up a white ball of electricity and fired it at the beast brightening it up causing it to explode into oblivion leaving no trace. Basilisx then flew down to to the looking at him.
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?"
"I'm not surprised that you don't know who I am considering you've never seen me like this."
The wolf then grabbed hold of his sword tossing it up and jumping up after it. The sword then slammed into the ground and he landed on the handle creating a blinding white light. Basilisx shielded his eyes to cover the blinding glare. The glare faded away and Basilisx couldn't believe who he was seeing. The wolf had transformed into a man who was kneeling down with a hand on the sword. The man wore a dark blue jean jacket with the sleeves torn out and had a black inner shirt that had bronze chains as a design with pure red eyes hiding behind the chains and had a black wire neckless that had a clear blue-green crystal hanging from it. He had torn dark blue jeans with a chain hanging out from the belt waist and had no shoes on. The man had rather pointy ears short silk hair that reached past his shoulders and could cover his face. (by the way he has a tan) Basilisx realized who he was.
"Master? Is that you?"
The man then stood up revealing his red eyes smiled showing his sharp vampire fangs.
"It's been a long time hasn't it Basilisx?"
"Y-y-your a half-breed?"
"Yes it's something I've kept a secret for a long time. You didn't come here alone did you?"
"No."
"Well then let's go back to your friends. Shall we."
...
Benjamin had joined the group as they all went back to Midnight city getting themselves ready to head back to Ooo.
"Umm Benjamin?" Finn said
"Yeah."
"You do have that compass thingy right?"
"Yeah here."
He reached into his pocket taking out an onyx compass presenting it to Finn. The compass had a polished clear diamond glass which covered the inside. The inside had a golden needle that wasn't moving and was surrounded by strange black symbols that were of no language ever heard of floating on the inside.
"What the?! What is this stuff?! Is it busted or something?!"
"It's the hero's language. Your father created it I don't even know it. I remember him telling me that he left a journal somewhere in Ooo about his experience in the Mushroom War and has the entire translation for the compass."
"I know where it is!"
"You do? Alright then let's go."
Adam then summons a portal to return to Ooo and they all jump in.
The portal then reopens outside of the tree house and everyone is spat out of the portal.
"It feels good to be back!" Adam exclaimed making a grass angle but he noticed something. "Hey who turned out the sun?"
The sky was completely covered in dark storm clouds as far as the eye can see. The land seemed depressed like it was dying. The whole area was silent with a few crow cawing.
"Why does this place now seem dark now?" Basilisx said looking around.
"What happened while we were gone?" Seraphina said looking up at the sky.
Finn also looked around trying to figure out what's going on. "I don' kno-Oh. My. Glob."
Finn had looked at the tree-house in horror and in fear. Seraphina then saw what Finn was staring and gasped in horror placing her hands on her mouth. Everyone else soon turned their attention to the tree-house all with the same expression...fear.
"What the hell?" Basilisx said unable to look away with anger in his voice. "Who did this?"
"This better be a sick joke..right?" Adam said now feeling scared. Something he hasn't felt in a long time.
"I don't believe it." Rosa said feeling her eyes shake in terror.
"What kind of monster would do this?" Benjamin said beginning to feel enraged.
Ropes dangled from the branches as well as towards the entrance something no one would have ever imagined was being seen on this, the darkest day of Ooo. Royalty of all types hung from the from the ropes. Princesses, princes, earls, kings, queens, all were being hung by their throats as blood flowed freely from the lifeless bodies. And across the entrance to the tree-house hung the many friends that Finn and Jake made over the years of adventuring including Princess Bubblegum, Lady Rainicorn, Susan Strong, Jake and Lady's kids, and Marceline. All covered in blood but spots of them weren't covered in blood purposely done. The spots were actually letters that spelled out Y.O.U.D.I.D.T.H.I.S.
"SURPRISE!"
I just want to say if you hate me or anything for what I did at the end of this chapter I would understand that. But this is something that is important to this part and the next part of the trilogy so what's done is done.
What the hell has happened in the absents of our heros, who would do such a terrible thing, and what is going through the minds of our heros now? Find out in the next chapter. Review.
