Yay! I got fav/follower! First one ever. (Well the Midget Warrior has pretty much been following.)

Anywho. I could probably just Google this if I wasn't so lazy but... Beemo... Is a boy right? I avoided describing his gender in any way in that last story but when I started writing it I realized I wasn't sure.

Anyways, lets give this story the good kick in the buns it needs to stop sucking and move towards something.

The Ivory Pillar

Part 4

Jake left for the candy kingdom the moment the sun had risen. To his surprise Princess Bubblegum was meeting with several people living in the outlying areas, including the Ice King. "What happened?" Jake hoped PB had heard something about Finn. "A lot of people have gone missing in different communities." Jake turned his attention to the Ice King. "What is he doing here?"

The Ice King flew over to the two of them when he heard them talking about him. "Hey Jake, Princess Bubblegum invited me over here! Can you believe it?" PB spoke up before the Ice King could continue to misunderstand the situation. "I only asked you to come because of what you saw. Jake, it might be related to what happened to everyone." The Ice King explained what he saw the day before.

The Ice King flew over to where he had learned Lumpy Space Princess had been camping at. She was pretty much the last princess he would want to kidnap but pickings had been slim with Finn and Jake cracking down on him. He figured no one really kept track of her so it would be a while before either of them showed up to attack him.

To the Ice Kings absolute astonishment, Finn was already at the camp. "Oh. Hey Finn, I was just... Finn?" Finn didn't acknowledge the Ice King in anyway. He was stuffing his backpack with whatever food and blankets Lumpy Space Princess's camp contained. "Uh, Finn? What are you doing?" Finn continued to ignore him.

When Finn had found all of the camps meager supplies he began walking towards a nearby mountain range. For the first time The Ice King noticed a strange black string hanging off of Finns back. Upon closer inspection the string appeared semi-transparent, and seemed to connect to the back of Finn's neck.

The Ice King reached out and attempted to grasp the black thread, his hand simply passed through it. Despite the thread's seemingly ethereal quality Finn reacted instantaneously whipping back and brandishing a red sword. "Woah. Sorry I just wanted to see what that was." The Ice King began backing away when Finn didn't put his weapon away.

The Ice King's eyes followed the black string away from Finn attempting to locate what it was connected to. It led away from the camp until it reached a figure lurking just outside of it. It wore a pure white mask and floated in the air with a black shroud hanging off of it. He felt a strange sensation start in the back of his mind for a few seconds before a pulse from his crown drove it away. The figure lacked a degree of solidness, reminding him of the ghostly creatures that once lurked throughout his home before Finn removed them.

His attention was drawn back to Finn when he rushed at the Ice King and attempted to knock his crown off. The Ice King quickly floated up into the air and threw an ice bolt down on Finn freezing him in place. A clear feminine voice rang out from the nearby creature. "I don't like you. I can't see inside you because of that crown... I think I'll kill you." A rock flew by the Ice Kings head.

He turned to see a mixture of various Ooh residents all approaching from the woods. They couldn't properly gang up on him due to his flight so they resorted to tossing rocks at him, hoping to knock him back down. The Ice King froze a few of them before deciding to just make a run for it. None of the creatures present could fly, so the Ice King had no difficulty escaping them and returning to his home.

"And then Princess Bubblegum called me! Can you-" He was promptly cut off by Princess Bubblegum. "I contacted you to see if anything strange happened over there too. Very reluctantly!" She spoke the last part as clearly as possible.

"Jake, we're getting ready to search for where they went but... It sounds like they're being controlled somehow. If someone finds them they may be taken too." Princess Bubblegum reflected on what she should do for a long few moments before continuing. "The Ice King was immune to whatever that was, we need his help here. I don't think he can handle this alone though, I need to replicate his immunity."

Alright that'll do for tonight. I feel a little better about this chapter. Some stuff happened, Ice King used his wizard eyes to help, Jake was there, Finn was brain-jacked, that was all definitely stuff.
