Hey guys it's me and you're probably wondering where I've been all this time…No? Well #!?% you. I've been A:I keep finding excuses to stop no matter how many times I want to write B:I finally came up with a great big long chapter that's actually interesting. And C: I have been unable to find a beta reader. But now that I found one, thank you President ORB. So after a long grueling three months here's the not so highly anticipated chapter 5 for doom of OOO.
After a long night of resting Finn and Marceline leave the Ice kingdom and head into the previously mentioned desert. Funny thing is that as soon as they walked in the temperature increased dramatically. "Hey Marceline, hey, hey Marceline." "What is it Finn?" She asked wondering why the boy was bothering her. "Check it out." Finn began jumping in and out the border of the ice and desert kingdom.
"Hot side, cold side, hot side, cold side, oooohhhhh it tingles."
"Finn that's not very funny"
"Come on where's your sense of humor?"
"Locked away in the nightosphere."
"Let's go get it then Marcie."
"Ha ha very funny, that's hilarious Finn."
"Jeez Marceline why are you acting like this?"
"Oh I don't know maybe its cause I'm a vampire in the middle of the desert; why are acting like this all of the sudden anyway?"
"Because….. Jake usually makes these kinds of jokes when we go adventuring." Finn paused and sighed sadly as he mourned the loss of his adoptive brother.
"Finn its best not to think like that, just be your normal self, no need to act like Jake, everything will be fine ok?"
"But Marcie he's my bro. I can't just forget him like that, I mean-"
"FINN! Listen to me; Jakes going to be fine, I mean this is Jake we're talking about he's got kids on the way and I don't think he would give up on that so easily, ok?" Finn contemplated this as they walked in the desert and didn't say a word for a while.
"I guess your right Marceline."Finn finally said after an hour or two.
"Sweet, now don't let me catch you thinking like that again or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else this." Marceline flew down to Finn and kissed him, "MWAH!"
"Ewwww Marceline that's gross!"
"Oh grow-up Finn it's just a kiss." she said plucking strings of her bass.
"I am grown up; I know how to do that and more."
"How do I know you know?"
"Trust me of done worse with flame prin…cess…" Finn became silent after that not speaking a single word. Marceline refused to have another silent moment because there have been too many on this little adventure of theirs.
"Finn you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine just thinking."
"About Ember?"
"Yea…."
"Marceline can I ask you something?"
"Sure Finn."
"Something personal?"
Marceline sighed heavily considering his question. "Sure Finn, shoot."
"Do you think she was the one?"
"Well…..honestly Finn I honestly don't know maybe it could have been like what me and bubblegum had…."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Finn…we used to date."
"WAIT WHAT! You and Bubblegum you guys used to be a thing!? Marceline and Bubblegum, Bubblegum and Marceline, Marcie and PB, Queen and Princess, Girl on Girl, OH MY GLOB!"
"Finn calm down it's not what you think, you know what never mind I don't want to talk about it."
Finn barely heard her over his mini freak out consisting of lots of blushing and sweating but he heard enough. "Marceline wait I'm sorry it's just well I've never even heard or seen it before it's all kind of new to me I'm sorry.
"It's all right Finn it's just a little personal is all but you seriously never even thought of that I mean you're a teenage boy you don't have those kind of… urges?".
"What urges? You mean the urge to be awesome? Cause I have plenty of that!"
"No, no, not those kinds of urges you know what forget it."
"Ok don't tell me but at least tell me what is up with you and bubblegum please?"
"Look another time please it's kind of a sensitive subject."
"Alright fine but if you do feel like you want to talk I'm here ok?"
"Thanks Finn your good friend," Marceline hugged Finn pulling him in tight as if giving him a bear hug, "maybe you can be something more if you tried."
"I'm sorry did you say something?"
"What! Get out…. I didn't say anything."
"Then why are you shifting your eyes back and forth like you actually did say someth-"
"Well look at the time it's pretty late, it's time to go to bed goodnight Finn."
"But Marceline it's barely dark out and we still got about a day's worth of land to cover…"
"FINN GET TO BED AND GO TO SLEEP NOW!"
"OK OK…jeez it's not like you were asking me to be your boyfriend or something."
"FINN!"
"I'M SORRY I'M SORRY"
Jake awoke to what looked like a giant's stomach. He observed the room and found that he was in a magical orb. "Huh never thought this would happen to me, guess that's one thing to check off my bucket list." As he checked off number 13 a man walked into the room. He had brown loafers, khaki pants, and a black sweater vest with a green undershirt, an oddly shaped scarf, a gray slightly trimmed mustache, gray hair, a bowler hat, and a cane. But the most unusual feature about the man was that he looked strangely super athletic and gave off a presence of being a badass.
"Ah your awake Jake I brought you breakfast which includes orange juice, a dancing bug for entertainment, and an everything burrito."
"OH YAY AN EVERYTHING BURRITO I LOVE THOSE THINGS A….wait a minute how did you know I like everything burritos?"
"I think my master Malacarth can elaborate on that. Master Malacarth the prisoner is awake!"
"I'm coming, activate sequence 7201."
"SEQUENCE 7201 COMMENCING"
Suddenly the orb started to rumble under Jakes feet and it began to lower to the ground. After it stopped the orb came to a grinding halt, toppling Jake to the floor and crashing against the orbs wall. Malacarth entered the room and examined Jake. Jake took a good look at the villain before him. Malacarth had on a dark robe which never moved so Jake never knew what was under his cloak. Malacarth was still wearing his metal mask but was wearing a hat shaped like a claw leading toward the mask, he also wore two gauntlets that looked like they belong to the grand wizard and probably had some magical ability, and finally he wore a pair of leather and metal boots that had wings on them. 'I wonder why there are wings on his boots. Maybe some fad in the wizard world, but what about the mask what is under it, looks pretty awesome though…something else that would look awesome metal is a giant metal falcon yea that would be awesome wait what if lady wore a mask that would be soooo cool!
"Hey stop doing that!"
"Doing what?" Jake asked.
"Thinking like that."
"Why should I?"
"Because if you keep thinking like that your thoughts will get jumbled and then you'll start thinking of that rainicorn and who knows what kind of sick perverted thoughts will be said on the speakers."
"Oh you mean like this?" Jake started thinking to 3 months back when he Lady first had well you know…..
"Wait what are you….OH MY GLOB THAT'S SICK! THAT IS HORRORFILINGLY DISGUSTING! EWWWW HOW IS THAT EVEN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!"
"Hehehehe good times, good times."
"Your sick man you know that?"
"Hey stretching powers have their advantages."
"Fine if that's how you want to play it so be it. Jenkins bring it up on that video we found will you?"
"Sir for the last time it's not Jenkins, its James."
"Oh well….Alfred pull up the video." James sighed at the wizard's idiocy and quickly brought up the video.
"Ok so there are two dudes in a room so what?"
"Oh you'll see. Oliver lets hide in fear while Jake enjoys his entertainment shall we?"
"Yes sir." Both of the men quickly hid in a cabinet that was almost too small for them but they managed to fit.
"Hmmm that's weird they're just standing there with a weird face I don't get it."
"Just wait Jake it will start in 3...2...1 and here we go!"
"Their leaning into each other and WHAT THE HECK!"
"See Scooter Jake will crumble under this torture method."
"Whatever you say."
"I think the video is done shall we check on him?"
"If it means getting out of this cabinet with you most certainly."
"Oh shut up."
They slowly walked into the room as too make sure the video was not playing. Once they were sure Malacarth looked into the orb holding Jake only to find him perfectly fine.
"ATPHIPWAH! How are you not a sniveling crying mess! Everyone succumbs to this torture!?"
"Heh, I've seen worse and done worse. This doesn't even bother me in the least."
"WHY YOU LITTLE…."
"Hey watch your language not everyone likes to hear your potty mouth."
"Will you shut up!?"
"No."
"Ughhh FIIIINNNNEEE. Just don't bother me I got important work to do."
"What kind of work?"
"Evil plotting."
"But why? Why would you want to take over OOO?"
"Why does the Ice king capture princesses?"
"Point taken…but he only does that cause he just wants to be loved and is a little bit poo brain. Wait are you doing this for love?"
"No I don't want to do this for love. I'm doing this because I can, I will do whatever I please and right now what pleases me is to take over OOO."
"Dude you have way too much time on your hands."
"I know but hey I'm going to take over OOO so why care about it now."
"Not if Finn stops you WHICH HE WILL!"
"That is impossible you mangy mutt for I have the ultimate plan."
"A plan which let me guess your gonna tell me right?"
"What? No I would never do that…why would you even think that?"
"Because I bet you can't."
"WHAT! Yes I can!"
"No you can't."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"YES I CAN!"
"Then I dare you to tell me."
"Alright I will. You see I have for 30 years built up my magic to the point where I almost match the Lich in strength! Then with my powerful weapon I can take over OOO!"
"Dude that is so lame"
"No its not!"
"Dude that plan is so cliché and overused that even the Ice king would call that old school, every villain in the world has done that. Come up with something original."
"Ahhhh but you forget it will work because Finn will never find my base."
"Which is on a mountain in a castle."
Malacarth just laughed and laughed for he knew how wrong Jake really was.
"Hey what's so funny?
"Because my canine friend you couldn't be more wrong, remember that ultimate weapon I told you about?"
"Yea so?"
"Have a look; Jarvis please pull up our weapon."
"Whatever." James lowered the screen to the floor and displayed the weapon that Malacarth had been bragging about.
"Oh my gosh that's your weapon!?"
"Isn't she a beauty and want to know what's inside it? For you see Jake you're not just looking at the weapon your inside it!"
!#$%&*
Finns POV
Ow my head. Where am I? Oh yea in the desert. Well better get up I got to reach Malacarth before he takes over OOO. Must have really woke up early because it's still dark. I started to move but I couldn't. "Hey what gives Marceline is this some kind of prank?"
"What Finn sorry I just woke up, what's wrong?"
"You tell me because I can't move."
"Hey I can't either."
"And why is it dark shouldn't be day time right about now?" Finn asked
"I don't know but try feeling around we might be able to find something."
I obeyed Marceline and felt around on the object on top of me. I can't find anything, wait what's this crack? Wonder what this is?I stuck my finger into the crack and pushed. It was soft and felt a bit like sandpaper. I pushed harder and harder until I heard a scream. It didn't sound like any creature I know. Then bright light flashed and I could finally see my surroundings. We were where Marceline and I fell asleep but with one big difference. A giant scorpion fell asleep on us! Now it's awake and ready to feast on its prey.
"Finn please tell me that's a hallucination."
"Then both of us have the same one because I see a giant scorpion charging at us."
"I see it too."
"Then let's get out of the way!"
Marceline barely got out of the way but it managed to get my leg. Crap I need to get out and fast but how? Wait a minute…
"MARCIE!"
"What!?"
"Throw me my sword!"
Marceline ran to my pack and fished out my sword. The sword flung toward me from Marcie and landed in my hand. Okay Finn steady, steady… I readied my sword and swung at its face. I was flung across the sky as I landed in the sand.
"Finn you okay?"
"Yea I'm fine but I think I just made it really angry."
"Well that's just great we're dealing with a giant scorpion pissed off that you cut its eye."
Out of nowhere a puddle of acid landed between us. I looked up and the scorpion was shooting acid out of its tail.
"And it shoots acid too that's a relief I didn't think this could get any harder!"
"Geez Marcie you really are grumpy in the desert."
"Let's just hurry up and kill this thing ok?"
FINN AND MARCELINE VS GIANT SCORPOIN
Finn nodded and quickly charged at the monster. He jumps on the pincers and grabbed onto its tail but it flung him off and into the sand. Marceline got it from behind but its exoskeleton blocked the blow. The scorpion swung its tail at her but she managed to dodge it. She flew away making sure to keep her umbrella a safe distance from the scorpions tail. Finn recovered from the blow and charged the beast. It sprayed its acid at Finn but he dodged the spray and struck the scorpion in between the plates of its armor. The scorpion roared with anger and it shook Finn off of him. It rushed toward Finn in an attempt to trample him but Marceline swooped in and nabbed him before the scorpion got him.
"Thanks Marcy."
"No problem but Finn if you got a plan to take this thing down I'd like to hear it."
"Well there are spaces between parts of the exoskeleton. Find those and we can take this thing down!"
"Rhombus plan."
"Thank you now if you don't mind FLY OUT OF THE WAY!"
But it was too late the scorpion sprayed both of them with acid but Marcy reacted fast enough so they received only minor injuries.
"Finn you ok?"
"I'm fine." He said through gritted teeth "Just a flesh wound. What about you?"
"I'm fine nothing major- oh no."
"What is it?"
"Finn my umbrellas melting!" Marceline was not wrong the acid hit her umbrella protecting her but it destroyed her only protection from the sun. "Finn what are we going to do?"
"…"
"WELL!?"
"Hold on I'm thinking…wait I got it! Marceline get in my pack."
"WHAT!"
"Get in my back pack it will protect you from the sun."
"Ok just don't get yourself killed ok?
"I won't."
Marceline changed into a bat and quickly flew into Finn's backpack. Now Finn was all alone in this battle. The scorpion thrusted its tail at Finn aiming for the head but Finn strafed to the right and grabbed onto the tail. It swung Finn round and around trying to throw him off but he wouldn't budge. He raised his sword high in the air and cut off the tail. Well he tried to anyway but was thrown off only managing to cut of the stinger. Finn started to get back up but fell down again. His vision blurred and he was out of breath but he finally got his vision back only to see the scorpion was about to run him over. There was no dodging this one it was too close and was intent on killing him. Marceline peeked through the bag to see what was happening. She looked at the charging scorpion at her but then it just stopped. It stopping mid-charge was strange enough but what stopped amazed her. A giant blue energy hand was holding the creature in place. She followed the blue hand down and there was Finn holding his arm up controlling the hand and throwing the scorpion as far away as he could.
FINNS POV
GLOB THAT WAS EXAUSTING! I MEAN THAT THING WAS HEAVY. But it's gone now and Marceline is safe. Wait MARCIE! I completely forgot about her! Alright let's just open my pack and check on her. And….
"FINN SINCE WHEN DID YOU HAVE MAGIC POWERS!?"
"Oh you saw that?"
"Finn why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I just prefer my sword and fist."
"Oh. But wait where did you get them?"
"I got them a week before I met you from a guy named Buffo. I learned my magic from him at his wizard school."
"Oh I know that guy. But his magic comes from the robes not the person so why can you do it."
"Well after my robe was destroyed I found bits and pieces lying around and from some of the other grand wizards like me-"
"Wait, wait, wait, you were a grand wizard?"
"Yep, and once I found enough pieces I stitched them to all of my shirts, see?" I started messing with my shirt and there was a tiny star on the shirt. "Well what do you think?"
"I really don't have anything to say."
"If that's the case than lets be off we got nothing else and in our path so let's go."
"Ok but I'm staying in your book bag."
"Why didn't you grab your sun hat before we left?"
"You know I really don't know, I suppose I just forgot it."
"Well is there any way we could get it?"
"Not unless you want to walk all the way back to my place."
"Alright fine, but Marceline…"
"Yea Finn?"
"What time is it?"
"Do I really have to ask?"
And we shouted in unison "ADVENTURE TIME!" The two of us then set out after conquering the harsh desert heading toward the unknown.
