A Slick Thief
Part 3
A defeated Finn and Jake were dragged towards a run down warehouse near the center of the city by a dark blue creature wearing a large straw hat pulled down to cover his face. He was met outside of it by bull-like person.
"It looked like that kid beat you down before Slick removed the golems enchantment. I guess your friends picked up your slack. Speaking of them, where are they?" The bullman asked.
"The kid put up a pretty tough fight, they went home to patch themselves up." The dark blue creature said in a low voice.
"I take it Slick ditched those two after deactivating the golem?"
"Yeah he's pretty clever, you may want to send some of the guys and golems in there to search the city. Guys dangerous. No telling what he might do." He seemed to force a smirk down as he spoke.
The bullman eyed him for a long moment before removing a club from his belt and speaking.
"Why are you wearing that hat like that? Someone might think your hiding your face."
Before he could respond the bullman swung his club into Slicks stomach. He immediately dropped both Finn and Jake onto the ground.
"Ow! C'mon man" Jake shouted out upon hitting the ground.
"Well that didn't work" Finn muttered as he rose to his feet only to be knocked back onto ground by a blow to his chest.
"A word of advice kid. Don't ever listen to one of his plans. They always fail." He readied another swing before getting grabbed and thrown back by Jake.
"Your gonna pay for that dog!" He rushed at Jake.
Jake grew himself to an enormous size, causing the manbull to stop in his tracks.
"Uh... Darrin, send something out here!" He shouted back to the warehouse.
His response was met by dozens of golems rushing out of the warehouse to meet them, all armed with spears. Jake began smashing them back, their clay bodies weren't very durable but they were able to keep fighting regardless of injury.
Slick struggled to get up from the blow to his stomach "Even if we do destroy these ones he'll just call the ones throughout the city." He grabbed Finns shoulder. "I think he can keep these busy. Your tough kid, I'm sure you can take Darrin. He's has a medallion on him somewhere. Take it or destroy it and he won't be able to control those things anymore."
Finn nodded before swiftly moving towards the warehouse door."Jake I'm heading in!"
He didn't wait for a response before heading through the door. He was nearly slashed across the face the moment he stepped inside. Several thugs were waiting inside for him. The inside of the warehouse was dark and torn apart. Finn could only imagine what kind of dealings had gone inside the place before.
"Kill him quickly, if that dog gets in here we won't be able to beat them both!" A voice shouted from the back of the building.
The thugs wasted no time striking, stabbing and slashing at Finn. He quickly drew his weapon and struck back at them. Whatever criminal activity these people were up to fighting evidently wasn't a big part of it. The majority of the creature Finn fought were noticeably below his skill level. He easily avoided their attacks as they stumbled over each other to attack. He took his time dispatching them one by one.
As he held the last one standing in a headlock he heard the voice from before continue speaking.
"Intimidation can get you far better results than actual violence. Unfortunately this is the result of there inactivity. Shame my enforcers must walk the streets. Where are they when you need them?" He chuckled to himself.
Finn crept through the deeper into the building slowly. He expected Darrin to be hiding with the intent of ambushing Finn, surprisingly he stood in plain view behind a shabby lopsided desk. He was dressed in a suit that would have looked very fancy if it wasn't covered in dirt and filth. The thing itself appeared to be the same species as the dark blue creature from the alley.
"Hand over the medallion. This is over." Said Finn.
"And how did you know about that? I was sure I killed everyone who knew about it. Slick I presume? No matter, suppose I was just going to kill him anyways." He walked out from behind his desk and stretched his arms for a moment.
"Well hero, I suppose this is the part where you bark some nonsense about freeing the town from my evil grasp? Well? Let's see what you can do..."
"Gladly!" Finn yelled out as he rushed at Darrin. "Lets see how you like my sword!" He raised his red blade up, apparently about to swing it only to jump up and kick at Darrin's face. He slid left to avoid the boys foot and ducked under the blade that immediately followed it.
"Adorable. Have you had any success fooling senile old men with a cheap trick like that?"
Ah, Ice King... Your like my second favorite character. That episode revealing him as Simon really made me more sympathetic to him. Jake's still my top dog though. (Pun totally intended!)
I still feel like have a bit of momentum left but I think I should stop here. I know I'm gonna tire myself before I can end this story and it doesn't seem like there will be a good place to put a break in from this point forward. I'm... pretty sure this story arc will end tomorrow.
