Betrayed Lies

Chapter 9: Answers: Part 1

Her eyes fluttered open with another pound of agony in her head. Her hands were retrained by yet again, rope. Her mouth was duct taped as well as her ankles being tied. The only major difference from before is the fact she was all tied up in a wooden chair, instead of just being on the floor in a cell-like environment.

Her surroundings were unclear at the moment. She was very dazed, things were very blurry, so she shut them again. She could recall everything that had happened, but all she really cared about was, where was Marshall? Was he okay? What did Prince Gumball do to him? She assumed the worse, only because this was an evil master mind we're talking about here. PG was capable of way more than anyone ever suspected. Suddenly an all too familiar voice ringed Fionna's ears.'

"Well, hello there, dear. How are you?" The Prince tried acting as if nothing had happened. Like he didn't smack her, like he didn't make her black out every two seconds, like he wasn't going to make her do something that would take everything in her life away..

Since Fionna didn't feel obligated to engage in a conversation with a psychopath, she remained silent. Her baby blue eyes were still shut, as she tilted her head down.

Talking to him would make things worse, right? She needed information, but trying to ask some crazed scientist, wasn't going to result well. Plus, when she tried before, she always fell short.

"I asked a question little girl," He grinned in a creepy manor as he tried getting her to look at him. He placed his cold pink hands on her face to make her peer up, but it was no use. She had her neck firmly in place so her head could not be moved.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Prince Gumball was starting to lose his cool. Sounded like he knew something was going to go wrong. Or was this all a trick?

"..shut up.." Fionna finally spoke. Two words that she shouldn't have said, but whispered anyways.

"Excuse me little girl?" He then slapped her across the cheek again, but this didn't faze her. But it made her look him dead in the eyes. There wasn't a smile, not even a crease indicating it. There was just an ice cold facial expression, glaring up at the Prince of the Candy Kingdom.

"You're excused, pinky," She spat it out as if she was about to kick him in the face. But of course the rope around her ankles restricted her from doing so.

A little stunned, but not at all caught off guard, PG laughed a little and got to her eye level.

"It's so amusing watching you fight, when really I know you're not going to win this battle," He started chuckling even harder and more obnoxiously than before.

"It's amusing to me that you think you know my next move when you don't," Fionna now started giving out a rough giggle at her own statement.

Prince Gumball stopped laughing and gazed at the blonde girl in front of him. "What do you mean?" He was now asking questions.

"We'll just have to wait, now won't we?" Fionna smiled and gave a cocky facial expression. PG just stared, really not knowing what she's capable of in her state of mind at the moment.

"I need you to tell me or I'll push this button that will destroy you," The pink young man threatened her with a smirk across his face. Fionna was entertained by this little threat.

"Go ahead, kill me. But how do you know that's not part of my plan I have in store for you? Maybe killing me will make all your plans crumble. I'm pretty sure you're not willing to take that risk," With each sentence and statement, she becomes more wise and cunning.

That's when PG stood back up; no longer in her eye level, while taking a tiny step back. He was realizing this once innocent girl was now trying to mess with his brain, instead of him messing with hers. He couldn't kill her at this point, he could, there was really a bomb inside of her, but it would ruin everything he had planned for. Prince Gumball wanted to take over Aaa. He realizes that his kingdom is all about peace and junk, but he wanted more power, more land. Selfish if you will. But without Marshall Lee out of the way, his plan for world domination won't come into play.

About nine months back, Prince Gumball was doing some reading, as always. Then suddenly he came across a strange book. It had a black binding with letters saying, 'How To Kill Immoral Creatures.' There was everything to witches, to fairies, to pixies, and even unicorns. That sent a shiver up his spine. But on the very last page, there was an article and a 'How to Do' instructions.

It read:

Welcome. Do you ever feel like all these immoral creatures annoy you? They live forever you know? Thus the word "Immoral."

Vampires/Demons

I'd like to think of both species of the same type. But let me define them both to get a better understanding of it.

Vampires: Blood sucking/ read sucking creatures mainly from the underworld. Can usually transform into a bat if well proceed in life.

*Shows Picture under definition*

Demons: Very vampire like, but has no fangs and can morph into any horrible creature. Usually from the underworld.

*Shows Picture under definition*

Vampires and Demons are one of the most complicated immoral beings you'll ever face. But don't worry, with this guide, you'll be an unstoppable exterminator.

Step one: Make sure you have found your target.

Step Two: Gain their trust; these creatures aren't the easiest to tame.

Step Three: Make sure your human self has some type of silver weapon.

Step Four: Attack them in a fragile state; either when they are emotionally or physically in pain.

I hope this helps you get rid of those 'immoral creatures.' In life, nothing can last forever ;D

Prince Gumball knew that this was the key to his success; he knew that this Vampire could not be around for it. He knew that Marshall had the capability to stop him. So he pretended to be in love with him, the prince knew this Vampire boy had a crush on him. After the whole shirt thing, it was obvious.

There was also one minor bump in the road, Marshall Lee was part human. He thought maybe making him human at the age that he is at, but he would die too quickly from old age. And it wasn't much fun for this sick and twisted Prince.

Then he thought if he saw one of the people he cares about in danger or injured, he'd go down quicker. And that's when Peppermint butler came into view of this plan.

So he hatched a plan to make Fionna assassinate this boy. It did say, 'Human self.' Since PG isn't a human, it just sounded perfect. Little blonde girl in danger, vampire will step down, Fionna will kill him. Then it's all done and over with. It started out as a simple plan. That was until Marshall came barging into his secret hideout.

Then Fionna became very cunning with words and statements. But PG will always be one step ahead of her, right..?

It had been about fifteen minutes of complete quietness, before Fionna spoke up once more.

"I guess the big tough guy is all scared now," Fionna started cracking up, even the evil master mind in front of her laughed. That's when she stopped, but he continued to cackle.

"Haha, you have no idea what is in store for you. There's five hours left until The Land of Aaa becomes a fiery pit of screams and begs for mercy," He wasn't lying this time. Perhaps last time Flame Prince and Flambo came to visit, they didn't leave empty handed. But sadly, they don't know that they can be controlled of their every will in their body by a Prince everyone underestimated.

That was only the beginning. Making the devices was the easy part, just needed some science to figure out the magnetic charge. Inserting was a little bit more complex.

For Flambo, he just put a dash of water to make him pass out in pain, then a needle shot into his arm. For Flame Prince, he just changed the crown jewel when he also put out by some water to make him pass put.

But for Fionna, it was very difficult, same with Marshall as well. Fionna was only complicated because she's human, and you can't cut her without her bleeding. So in a sad twist of events, for her not him, they took a couple hours and transmitted it near her heart with a bomb implanted as well as the voice module. That's why she can die, and not in a pleasant way. For Marshall Lee, it was tough, but only for the fact he's immortal, so any cut, will heal quickly. He might be part human, but only human part about him is his heart and mind, the rest is full blown vampire. But after taking the needle quickly into his gray skin, they got it into his right forearm. It was after all a home run, with them being out cold and all.

She completely ignored his statement about how Aaa will burn and whatever, thinking it was a complete lie like all the others. Fionna wanted to move onto a different subject, so she spoke up once more.

"Where's Marshall Lee?" Her voice was loud and well heard to anyone that could be present.

"Don't worry about it, Fionna," He slowly started to walk away from her.

"I will worry, Asswhipe," Her voice was powerful but kind of too cocky.

"Oh dear, you should really stop with having too much confidence, it just makes you look too arrogant. Any who, you shouldn't. Either way, you're going to have to get rid of him. So why bother to even care?

"I will not stop, I'm being the way that I have been taught to survive. You get an attitude when things get rough. I learned that from being with you for just a couple hours in a dark, damp cave-like environment. And, that's what you think..I will care until the day I die," Her words made Prince Gumball stop walking and turn around.

"You naive girl. You know nothing of survival. I could have just killed you right there and then," He gave Fionna a death glare.

"Why didn't you?" She asked, not in an arrogant way, but very subtle.

"That just won't make it as fun, now will it? Why would I kill you when Marshall would still be alive? Oh wait, I could have killed him too, but oh wait. I am, with you as my weapon," He gave her a wicked grin.

"What makes you so sure I'll even do it?" Her cockiness began to overshadow her true self.

"You probably think, 'Oh, if I don't do it, then I can kick some Gum butt. Even if I don't live, Marshall will be okay. So it's all good.' But trust me, it's not that easy. Remember before, when I mentioned we can take control? I actually meant, we can take control. Over your body, I mean. Remember, life isn't always rainbows and gumdrops. You can either do it yourself, or we'll do it for you," As he finished his ranting, he began to walk away with a smirk.

Fionna's once cunning attitude faded quickly as reality all started to sink in. She never knew that if she failed to do it in the time provided, she'd end up doing it anyways, but it won't really be her doing it. Emotions started to come about in her face. Her worn down face was saddened. She had a sickening feeling that he wasn't lying about this, and that's what scared her the most.

"Aren't you going to knock me out?" Fionna asked in a quiver of despair.

Suddenly, Prince Gumball stopped strolling and smiled. He knew what she meant by that. Every time he leaves, the world goes black for her.

"I figured it would be much more torture for you, if you sat there in your thoughts," Before another comeback could be addressed, he left the room.

Something in her finally realized her surroundings; her eyes actually opened up to see the environment she was kept in. It was beyond her reasoning of why she didn't recognize it before when he was present.

Fionna gasped at the sight of it.

There she was, in her own tree house; only a few feet away from her bed.

~;~ About An Hour Later ~;~

"How's he doing PB?" PG asked with an evil smile.

"I'd say he's doing just marvelous at the time being," Peppermint Butler responded in a sinister tone. He gave a wicked grin to the Prince that only stood a few feet away from him.

"Excellent sir. My good man, once we have completed this task entirely, you will have so much power," The Candy Kingdom Prince gave out a loud cackle after finishing his sentence.

"I'm looking forward to it sire," He gave that same grin as before, "Hold on, he's awaking."

"...Oh... ouch..my head. Where am I?" A male's voice had moaned in pain as he clenched his head.

The Candy Kingdom servant had a controller in his hands, one that could possibly put an end to this all.

"Is that-" PG was cut off my a 'shhh,' made from the butler. The peppermint then pushed the button on the remote as he started to speak into it.

"You will listen to ever command I make, got it?" The butler said sternly and firmly.

Marshall Lee felt queasy, and was confused. Suddenly, his body went numb, his mind went blank. He was under the complete control of the two villains now.

"Yes master," Marshall finally answered the question being asked by the peppermint.

"I have a job for you Marshall," He started to whisper so no one could hear.

"Very good Steve. I'm so proud of you," Prince Gumball said while patting him on the back. Only Gumball knew the butler's real name. And when he said it, it meant a lot to the servant.

"Thank you sir," He responded in a whisper. He continued with his duty, "So, Marshall, repeat to me what you're going to do."

"I'm going to execute Fionna The Human within Four hours," He repeated his instructions in a monotone. This wasn't the same Marshall Lee Fionna was in love with.

"Very good. You're dismissed now, the door is that way," He directed while pointing to the front door.

Then just with that sentence, Marshall was off, through the royal doors of the Candy Kingdom.
