A portal opens up and you see Atomsk and TME sitting comfortably.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter 2 of "Wiseman Messenger". I'm your host Atomsk and with me is my good buddy TME." Atomsk said before passing the spotlight to him.

TME chuckles before giving the readers a two finger salute.

"Yeah, sorry for the wait everyone but there other stories that we wanted to work on first but we managed to get back here, so again my apologies to any fan of WM so far." TME said while he bowed to the readers for a moment.

"Same goes to me since after hurricane Irma, I lost power and internet access. Hopefully everyone else is okay." Atomsk said.

"Yeah, hope everyone who lived near or at the hurricane area is safe, we would be able to write many chapters without your support… though we could but with no readers then what's the point of posting the stories." TME said before sweatdropping at the contradiction there.

Atomsk also sweatdrop before speaking.

"You said it."

"I also want to make a bit of a commercial for the story DDS or Dimensional Drifter School, it's on my account in FFN and AO3 but Atomsk and I wrote it together, unfortunately there is only one review for it so I'm hoping a few mentions of it here or there in the various intros and outros help get more viewers for it, anyway this chapter of Wiseman Messenger starts out right after the ending of the first chapter, this chapter is a sad one but will cause a lot of questions and answers… want to say anything before we get into it Atomsk?" TME said with a serious look on his face.

"Hmmm not really, but you want to split a pizza?" Atomsk asked before picking up the phone.

"Sure, I'll pay for the pizza if you pay for the extra stuff, fair enough?" TME while he showed some money to Atomsk.

"Sure, Pizzahut or Dominos?" Atomsk asked.

TME took a second to think before speaking up.

"They both have cheesy stuffed crust right?, either or can work if so." TME said with a slight shrug of his arms.

"Alright, Pizzahut it is." Atomsk said before dialing the phone.

"Alright, now while Atomsk handles the pizza issue, I want to remind others that this is a sad chapter so expect tears from some of the characters….now we go to the treefort right when Wiseman's spirit fades from Ooo and Finn calls out to his master." TME said with a serious expression while the scene shifts to the Treefort while it continues to rain.

Ooo/ Treefort/ Finn, Jake, Lady

The scene fades in to show Finn crying while he held his master's body… not much time passed since Wiseman's spirit faded from view.

"Master." Finn said in low tone while crying.

Jake frowned while tears spilled from his own eyes, but he wiped them before he spoke up.

"Come on Finn… lets get him out of the rain… we can call PB to see if we can get a grave made." Jake said while he stretched an arm over and placed it on Finn's shoulder while he walked forward while Lady sniffed a bit while she cried as well.

Finn nods to Jake before picking up his master's body and bringing him inside the treefort.

However when he got through the door, he stumbled on a coin for a moment, not enough to worry about falling… but Wiseman's hat fell off which revealed a shocking sight since Wiseman practically had the hat equipped 24/7…. A human looking face with no physical mutations or cybernetic augmentations.

"My Glob." Finn said with a surprised look.

"What?" Jake said before he walked from behind Finn and his eyes went wide at what he saw followed by Lady who let out a gasp.

"Oh man…" Jake said for a lot of reasons.

"All this time, he was human." Finn said while still feeling surprised.

Jake managed to shake the shock off after a minute before he looked down, grabbed the hat and spoke up after placing the hat on Finn.

"Here, I think he would want you to keep it just like our dad gave me his hat, that ok?" Jake said while patting Finn on the back while the hat hid some of his face like it did for Wiseman.

Finn smiled at his brother before speaking.

"Thanks Jake."

"No prob, now you set Wiseman on the couch for now, I'll call PB." Jake said before shifting into stairs for Finn to walk up since it would be hard to climb the ladder with a body in his arms.

Finn nods to him before walking up the stairs before he got to the couch.

He placed Wiseman's body safely on the couch but didn't want to leave his side.

Jake noticed when he stretched himself up before he walked to the kitchen to call PB while Lady floats near Finn.

In the kitchen…

Jake pulled out his oversized cellphone before he hit the speed dial for Bubblegums emergency line which was under her regular contact before he waits for her to pick up, she rarely slept sometimes and hoped this was one of those times.

Luckily for Jake, the line was picked up.

"Hello?" Said a voice that obviously belong to Bubblegum.

"Hey PB… it's Jake, I… Got some bad news…" Jake said before he looked back into the living room to see how Finn was doing.

"What's wrong Jake?" Bubblegum asked with a worry tone in her voice.

"...First off… remember Wiseman?, Finn and I talked with you a few times about him after we found a few bloody napkins in the trash." Jake said with a sad tone.

Bubblegum did remember meeting him once or twice during the four years he stayed with Finn. She even blushed at that one memory when he was flirty with her.

"Yes. I remember him, Jake. Is something wrong with him?" She asked.

Jake sighed before he spoke up.

"He...died PB...we found him sitting in some kind of spell crest or something… you may think magic is nothing more then some odd science but how would you explain why we found him there?" Jake said while he asked her about the odd reason for Wiseman to be out of the house.

Bubblegum was confused about that before covering her mouth after hearing the bad news.

"I don't know the answer for that Jake...but I'm sorry to hear about it. How's Finn feeling right now?" She asked since she was more concern for her friend.

Jake took a moment to look again before speaking up.

"Hard to tell...we were there when he passed on, and he told Finn to go to FP for some reason… though that probably wasn't the most shocking thing we found out…" Jake said before he fell silent.

Bubblegum was confused as well before she asked Jake something.

"What? What did you guys found out?" She questioned.

"That Wiseman is….Human...or looks like one, I wanted to see if you can check and help make a grave for the guy… I'm sure Finn would appreciate it." Jake said while he waits for a reaction.

Bubblegum was shocked after hearing that.

"I see. Well if you want to be sure, please bring me any of his bloodied tissues so I can run a DNA test. I'll make sure to handle the funeral arrangements."

"Great… and one more thing, something fell out of Wiseman's sleeve when Finn picked him up...can you examine that as well… it looks like one of Wiseman's sugar packets he carries around." Jake said while he pulled out a pink packet from a formed pocket, he grabbed it After Finn passed him and didn't want to bug him right now.

Bubblegum was confused at the request before speaking.

"Uh...sure. I'll take a look at it later after the funeral."

"Alright, I'll get a bag and place the items in it, know how to keep a body from… getting worse…" Jake said since he didn't want Wiseman's body to deteriorate.

"Hmmm…bring Wiseman's body to the Candy Hospital. I'll have Dr. Princess prep a table for him." Bubblegum said.

"Alright PB, I'll let Finn know and we'll be there if you can call me about letting Dr. Princess know… wish me luck." Jake said before he got ready to hang up.

"Good luck Jake." Bubblegum said before hanging up.

Jake sighs before he put away his phone before he grabbed a bag from a cabinet and placed the small sugar? packet inside before grabbing another and went to a waste basket to find a few bloody tissues and placed it it the second bag to keep the packet in the other bag safe.

He pockets the items before he walked back into the living room to see how Finn was doing so far.

Said human stared at Wiseman's body while tears fell out of his eyes.

Lady pats his back to try and console him, but Jake cleared his throat to get finn's attention.

"Hey Finn… " Jake said before he fell silent.

Finn turned his head before looking at his brother.

"I talked with PB, and she's willing to help with the funeral, but we need to take Wiseman's body to Dr. Princess when PB calls for prep, I can take him myself if you don't want to." Jake said while he tries to consider how Finn felt.

Said human wiped a tear away before speaking.

"No Jake. I can do this."

"You sure?, I mean it's late at night and you might need rest, don't worry Finn, I'll make sure his body is safe, I mean he did a lot for you over the years and I've known how friendly he was, he even helped lady once and I owe him one." Jake said when he saw Finns tired red eyes.

Finn would have protested, but he knew Jake gave good points.

"You're right. I should probably sleep." He said.

"All right, I'll wait for PB to call so you head on to bed." Jake suggests to Finn.

Finn nods to him before he went to his room.

Jake scratched his head while he sighs before he looked to Lady with a serious look.

"You head to sleep as well...I'll be fine Lady." Jake said while Lady looked to Wiseman's before she nods and flew after Finn to sleep on her and Jake's bed while Jake walked to Wiseman's body before he spoke up.

"Don't worry dude… I'll make sure to try and cheer Finn up later." Jake said before he sat on a nearby sofa to wait for Bubblegum's call.

Only a few seconds after Jake said that, the phone in the treefort starts to ring.

Jake picks up the phone before he spoke up.

"Hello?" Jake asked to be sure that it was Bubblegum or Dr Princess.

"Hello, Jake? This is Doctor Princess." Doctor Princess said.

"Hey Dr. P, PB called right?... would it be OK if I bring in Wiseman now?" Jake asked to try and be mannered to the doctor.

"Yes. The Princess has informed me of the tragedy that has happened, which I'm very sorry to hear. You can bring him to the hospital. Everything's ready for him." Dr. Princess said.

Jake rubbed his eyes for a moment to help get the tiredness from them before he spoke up.

"Alright, and just to let you know, I somehow managed to convince Finn to go back to bed, and I had Lady go back as well so it's just me doing the drop off." Jake said while he looked to Wiseman's body and fell silent.

"A wise decision Jake. Once you bring Wiseman in, We'll take care of everything else." Dr. Princess said.

"Alright, and since it's raining now I'll ask PB if I can bunk in a guestroom after the drop of… Glob I feel like Finn lost a father figure somehow and I don't know what to say to help… I'm reminded of my parents cause of this…" Jake said while his body shuddered at the memory while he wiped some tears from his eyes.

"It's okay Jake. I understand how you're feeling. I know that the Princess will let you stay for the night after everything that's happened." Dr. Princess said in a caring tone.

Jake smiled a bit before he spoke up.

"I'll leave a note first with BMO and head out after, just listen out for giant footsteps cause I don't want to be out in the rain long." Jake said when he saw that the storm got stronger… thankfully it wasn't a knife storm.

"I understand. I'll have some of my staff members look out for you and give you a signal." Dr. Princess said which made Jake grin a bit before he got serious.

"Alright, I'm hanging up now, see you later." Jake said while he got ready to hang up.

"See yeah." said before hanging up.

Jake sighs before he pockets the phone.

He then stood up before he stretched his arms to grab a pen and paper before he took a bit to write a decent note before he looked around for BMO.

"Hey BMO… you there?" Jake called out in a low tone to keep from waking Finn and Lady.

Said robot came out of nowhere.

"Yes Jake. I'm here." BMO said which made Jake nod as the approached the little robot.

"Hey BMO, I need you to pass Finn and Lady this when they wake, I'll probably have to bunk at the candy kingdom after I drop off Wiseman's body since the storm is picking up." Jake explained when he looked outside with a slight frown.

BMO was confused.

"What's wrong with Wiseman?" it asked which made Jake freeze in shock while he tried to think of a way to explain this to BMO... Man Jake felt bad now…

"BMO...Wiseman… is dead…. He… won't wake up anymore." Jake tried to explain as best as he could to the innocent robot.

BMO was shocked when it heard that.

"W-What?...Are you sure he's not pretending, Jake?" it asked since he remembered those times that Wiseman pretends to be dead from his 'karate chops'.

Jake frowns while he wiped a few tears away.

"Yeah… I'm...sure… it seems he was sick or something and Finn, Lady and I found him outside in some weird spell circle that I never saw before, Finn might know what it was but I don't want to ask right now… but if you want another way for me to say it… he got a virus and was shut down beyond repair as a result." Jake said while he hoped BMO got the latter part.

Said robot understood before putting its head down in sadness.

Jake knelt down to BMO before holding the note to BMO.

"Listen BMO… I need you to pass this note to Finn and Lady later...want to say goodbye to Wiseman for now since it'll be awhile before we can see him again for the funeral." Jake said while waiting for BMO's response.

BMO just nods to Jake instead of replying because it was very sad about the Wiseman.

Jake nods before he picked the tiny robot up and brought it to Wiseman's side and set BMO on the table near Wiseman's body

"Goodbye Wiseman. You were BMO's best roommate. Besides Finn, Jake, Lady and Neptr." BMO said which caused Jake to chuckle while he stretched an arm up into Finn's room for a certain item.

"I'll say more at the funeral… but yeah, you did a lot for Finn man so I'll make a promise that I'll get you to the Candy kingdom safely." Jake said before he pulled his arm back to show that he got joshua's hat and equipped it with a small smile.

Jake then looked to BMO before he spoke up.

"We gotta go now BMO, I don't want Dr. P's staff to wait long out in this weather." Jake said while he wrapped his hand around Wiseman's body till it was cocooned safely.

"Okay. Be careful Jake." BMO said while still feeling sad.

Jake nods before he walked to the door and exits the house and into the storm with grit teeth, thankfully he found a Wizard who enchanted the hat to stay on unless he himself pulled it off, there was a repair one as well but the cost was worth it when his dad's hat protects his eyes from the rain.

Ooo/ Grasslands/ Jake

Jake had to steady himself before he starts to grow to larger and larger till he was barely bothered by the storm before he starts to walk while he looked to his giant hand for a moment while he remembered the day that he and Lady first met Wiseman...

Flashback/ treefort/ Jake, Lady

Jake and Lady we're heading to The treefort to speak with Finn since they had something to ask him.

However they saw to their shock that Finn was fighting some strange man and it looked like the man was winning when he tossed Finn over his shoulder after disarmingly him before the man spoke up.

"Oh come on, we barely start and your already in trouble." The man said with a grin on his face while he held his sword in his hand which points to Finn's chest.

Jake's eyes widen before yelling out…

"HANG ON BRO, I'M COMING!" He said before growing big and starts running towards the duo.

"Huh?" The man said before he looked to Jake before he brought his sword up to block something yellow and large while the man flies away with wide eyes while the hat the man wore hid most of his features.

"I'M BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" the man shouts before he crazed in the water nymph pool with a splash.

Finn was shocked when he saw that Jake did that.

"JAKE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Finn questioned before he went to check on his master.

Lady was confused before she spoke up which was automatically translated by Jake but was still hard for Finn to get.

"We thought you were being attacked by that strange man with the sword." Lady said while she looked to Jake to translate for her.

"Lady and I thought you were being attacked by that strange man with the sword." Jake said which made Finn stop in his tracks before looking at them.

"He wasn't attacking me. He was just training me." Finn said before he resumed running to his master's side.

Thankfully for Finn, the water nymphs help Wiseman to the edge on the other side before they heard him speaking up after he spat up quite a bit of water.

"T-Thanks ladies… I-I owe you a first class dinner to… to…" Wiseman tried to say before he hit his chest before he coughed up a fish before he chuckled nervously when he popped it back into the water.

"Sorry if that was a friend of yours." Wiseman said with a sweat drop before he pulled himself out of the pond.

The water nymphs giggled after seeing that before Finn got to Wiseman's side.

"Master are you okay?" He asked with a worry look.

Wiseman took a moment to move his body which made loud crack before he sigh in relief.

"Now I am, and aside the first class flight and coughing up a fish, I'm great." Wiseman said with his ever present grin.

Finn felt relieved before speaking.

"Sorry about Jake. Apparently he and Lady thought you were attacking me and stuff." He said which caused Wiseman to full on laugh for a moment before he spoke.

"Well considering I keep tossing you like a rag doll, it might as well have looked like I was attacking you." Wiseman said before he laughed again.

Finn also chuckled at the scenario.

Lady looked to Jake with confusion before she flew next to Finn and spoke up… but to the groups shock, Wiseman responds to her question.

"No I'm not injured Lady, I blocked the attack and softened the fall into the water… though that Finn probably wasn't too happy." Wiseman said with a grin while two surprising things we're heard… one was that Wiseman knew Lady like he knew Finn but that could have been from Finn talking about her… but actually responding to Lady was definitely a surprise.

"Whoa! How'd you know who Lady was?, and you speak Rainicorn?" Finn asked with a surprise look.

"Yep, spent some time with a few rainicorns in the past and I learned the language as a pastime, for example…" Wiseman said before he cleared his throat before actually speaking like Lady for a moment which caused Lady to chuckle with a blush while Jake gave him a half lidded look.

"Oh ha ha, very funny." Jake said when he knew what they we're talking about while Finn head was left out of the loop.

"What are you guys talking about?" Said human asked.

"Oh just wondering if Jake always jumps the gun before getting the full story." Wiseman said with another chuckle while lady giggles again.

Finn chuckles as well before speaking.

"Man, I wish I can speak rainicorn."

"Eh… I'll see if I can teach you after you finish your training, you'd be surprised what Jake keeps censored out when he translates for her." Wiseman said when he already put together the fact that Jake normally translates and had a grin on his face at the idea.

Finn felt excited that he can finally learn how to understand rainicorn.

Jake was a bit nervous after hearing that.

That's when Finn asked this.

"So what brings you and Lady out here Jake?" He questioned which caused Lady to speak up which… after a moment, Wiseman to raise his eyebrows.

"Uhhh… they want to see if they can move in with you for now, their old home got damaged and they are waiting to see if any houses nearby come on sale." Wiseman said with a slightly surprised tone.

Finn was surprised when he heard that.

"Oh my Glob. I'm so sorry to hear that guys. Of course you can stay." He said which made Wiseman grin before he spoke up.

"I'm cool with it as long as I don't get a first class flight every time I spar with Finn." Wiseman teased Jake before he and Lady chuckle.

Jake felt bad for that before speaking.

"Hehe...Sorry about that Mr...I'm sorry, what was your name?"

"Just call me Wiseman for now, Finn does that as well and he hasn't complained much." Wiseman said with a grin on his face.

Finn nods to Jake which meant that it's true.

Said dog shrugged before speaking.

"Alright then. Put her there." He said before bringing his hand out for a hand shake.

Wiseman grins before he surprised the group by grabbing Lady and placed her in Jake's arms.

"Alright, I put her there but you could have asked for a handshake instead." Wiseman said before he laughed a few times at his joke while Lady giggles before she kissed Jake on the cheek and got out of his arms.

Jake blushed at the kiss before chuckling at Wiseman's joke.

Finn also laughed at what just happened before the scene went to the present while the group chuckles.

Ooo/ Grasslands/ Jake

Jake had to stop for a second to wipe his tears away before he continued onward while he remembered more…

How he helped Jake and Lady when they got in trouble…

How he taught Finn to fight…

To use magic without going insane…

The sword…

All in all, by the time the Candy kingdom was in sight, Jakes tears wouldn't stop flowing as he shrank bit by bit when he heads for the hospital.

Ooo/ Candy Kingdom/ Hospital/ Jake

When Jake got there he saw a group of people with umbrellas and a gurney that had a tarp on it before he approached them to see if Dr. Princess was among them.

Said Doctor sees Jake from a far before she signaled him with a flashlight.

When Jake saw that, he shrank down more and more before he was back to normal size when he got to the group except for an oversize hand which held Wiseman's body.

He placed the body gently on the gurney before speaking.

"Hope I didn't take too long."

Dr. Princess smiled a little before speaking up after her staff rolled the body in.

"No worries, I just got here a minute ago, want something warm from the break room?, my treat." Dr. Princess said while she held the umbrella over Jake a bit to shield him from the rain.

Jake smiled sadly before nodding to her which made Dr. Princess nod before she led Jake to the break room and had him sit in a chair.

"I'll get some cold medicine as well after I make some hot chocolate to help warm you up, I'll leave the guest room part to you." Dr. princess said before she starts to make some hot coco at the counter

"Thanks Dr.P." He said before putting his head in his hands while time went forward a bit before Dr. Princess passed Jake a mug which held the warm beverage.

"I'll be back with the cold medicine, just rest here for now before you call Bubblegum." Dr. Princess said before she exits the room which left Jake alone.

Said dog grabbed the mug before smelling the chocolate aroma with a sigh before he starts drinking it.

After waiting a bit and getting the cold medicine from Dr. Princess, Jake called PB with his phone again to see if a guest rooms available before he heard the phone ringing…

It was only a few seconds before the call was answered.

"Hello?" Said a voice belonging to Bubblegum.

"Hey PB, it's me Jake, I'm calling to let you know that I got Wiseman here safely…" Jake said before he fell silent while he looked into his hot cocoa for a bit.

"Oh that's good to hear. How you feeling Jake?" Bubblegum asked with a concerned tone which made Jake sigh.

"I've been better, but I'll live… anyway I got one more favor, can I bunk in a guest room at the castle?, the storms really picking up and I don't want to catch a cold or Finn might feel bad since I talked him into going to sleep earlier, I also brought a few tissues and the packet in a couple bags so I can just hand them to you real quick right?" Jake said while he took a moment to check the two items before pocketing them again.

"Absolutely. Thank you Jake. And you don't have to ask. From where I'm seeing things, I would've ask you to stay myself. Just head to the Castle. I'll have Peppermint Butler prepare a room for you." Bubblegum said.

"Thanks PB, I'll be there in a few after I finish this hot chocolate, Dr. Princess gave me some cold meds just in case." Jake said before he quietly sips the warm drink.

"Of course. Just take your time." Bubblegum said which made Jake chuckle for a moment.

"Yeah… I will, see you in a bit… bye." Jake said when he got ready to hang up.

"Bye Jake." Bubblegum said before hanging up.

Jake sighed before he slowly drank the cocoa before taking a couple pills just in case before he finished the drink off and went to tell Dr. Princess he was leaving after he found her after looking around a bit.

"Hi Jake. Was the cocoa and pills helpful?" Dr. Princess asked.

"Just took a couple pills and finished the drink off, I'll be heading to the castle to rest, thanks for the help… Finn would appreciate it if he was here." Jake said before he sighs for a moment.

Dr. Princess smiled before hugging him.

"It's okay Jake. I know he would appreciate it." She said.

Jake pats Dr. Princess on the back before stepping back a few steps.

"Thanks… I'll be going now." Jake said before he walked around Dr. Princess and out into the pouring rain.

Dr. Princess waved to Jake before she and the staff attend to Wiseman's body.

Meanwhile...

Ooo/ Candy Kingdom Castle/ Jake

After a bit of walking, he entered the castle lobby before he looked for Peppermint Butler.

Said candy butler was walking by before noticing him.

"Ah, hello Jake. It's good that you came."

"Thanks… is PB around or is she busy right now?" Jake asked since he had one more thing to do before turning in.

"The Princess is in her lab waiting for you. I will escort you there before I take you to the guest room." Peppermint Butler said.

Jake nods before he follows Peppermint Butler to Bubblegum's lab.

It was only a few minutes till the duo reached the door to Bubblegum's lab.

Peppermint knocked on the door a few times before waiting for an answer.

"Enter, I have my hands full." Bubblegum said from the other side of the door.

Peppermint Butler acknowledges it before opening the door and leading Jake in.

Jake entered the room before he closed it and looked to PB to see that she was at one of her lab tables.

"Hey PB, what you working on?" Jake asked while he approved Bubblegum.

Said monarch turned around before giving Jake a kind smile.

"Hello Jake, I just started planning funeral arrangements for Wiseman." Bubblegum said before she approached Jake before giving him a hug.

Jake returned the hug for a moment before he spoke up.

"I got the items PB, the tissues and the packet." Jake said before he brought out the bag with another bag in it which held the packet and kept the tissues from touching it.

Bubblegum nods to Jake before taking the items.

"Thanks Jake. I'll take a look at those later. How are you feeling?" She asked with a concern tone.

"Probably better than Finn, he looked up to Wiseman, but Wiseman saved Lady a few times and I owe him big time… *sigh*... I still don't get why he was out of the treefort in that circle." Jake said after he remembered a few times Wiseman helped Lady out of a jam.

Bubblegum was wondering about that as well before speaking.

"I don't know Jake. But he will be missed."

"Yeah… anyway I got the items here so I'll be heading to sleep now, good night PB and good luck on your end." Jake said before he turned to walk to the door.

"Good night Jake. Hope you have a good sleep." Bubblegum said.

Jake nods before he exits the room and closed the door before looking to Peppermint Butler.

"I'm done, can you show me the room Peppermint Butler?" Jake asked since he was beyond tired right now.

"Certainly Jake. Come and follow me then." The candy butler said before motioning Jake to follow him.

Jake did follow Peppermint butler to his room before looking to the candy butler.

"Thanks for walking me hear, see you tomorrow Peppermint Butler." Jake said when he stopped at his door.

"My pleasure Jake. If you need anything, just call and I'll have a maid come here to help you." Peppermint Butler said which made Jake nod.

"Alright, thanks and can you tell PB I said thanks again, I may have said it, but I'm saying thanks for Finn as well… I don't think the next few days will be easy for him." Jake said before he entered and closed the door with a tired look on his face.

"I understand. Sleep well Jake." Peppermint Butler said before he left to attend Princess Bubblegum.

In the room…

Jake, after he closed the door, tossed his hat on the hat stand next to him and stretched himself on the bed and relaxed before he went to sleep with one final thought.

'I… get that he might have been sick… but why outside in that circle... I'll ask Finn about that after the funeral.' Jake thought before he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, back at the lab…

After Jake left, Princess Bubblegum separated the items that Jake brought before putting the bloody tissues in a machine for analysis.

While she waits for the results, she went back to continue with the plans for the funeral.

A few minute later, she heard knocking on the door before she heard Peppermint butler speaking up.

"Milady, may I enter?" Peppermint butler asked before waiting for Bubblegum's answer.

"Yes Peppermint, come in." The candy monarch replied before her butler entered.

"My apologies for interrupting you, But Jake wished to let me tell you that he thanks you, he said that was for Master Finn who most likely will not be in a decent state for the funeral." Peppermint butler said while he waits for the princess to respond.

Bubblegum sighed before speaking.

"I know. Considering the bond that Wiseman had with him, I can understand how's he feeling."

Peppermint butler was silent for a moment before looking at the screen.

"Is that the analysis Milady?" Peppermint butler said while he walked a bit closer.

Bubblegum looked at the screen before speaking.

"Hmmm...it's partial. But I don't know what's the other parts."

Peppermint butler then looked to the pink packet on the table before he raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that a medicine packet?" Peppermint Butler said while he leaned in a bit to be sure.

Bubblegum was confused before looking at said packet.

"Medicine packet? Are you sure?" She questioned.

"Well, I saw a few guests in the past who has stuff like this and took it to keep up their appearance in the public eye, but it was really rare so I wasn't sure until now, but stuff like this is normally used to repress certain symptoms of normally incurable disease, mainly for the ones that cause extreme pain." Peppermint Butler said when he remembered a couple guests who had similar packets.

Bubblegum was surprised to hear that before speaking.

"Did you get a good look at these guests? Did they look...human?" Bubblegum asked with curiosity.

"Well, humanoid if I'm being technical, it was a few guests you had in the past while I served them a drink, said it was sugar or something, but they never returned after a few visits, as for the packet, it has a similar shape… does it have some kind of powder in it?" Peppermint Butler asked while he looked to the packet since he didn't want to be rude.

Bubblegum mentally facepalm herself as she did not remember that.

"May I check Princess?" Peppermint asked with a serious look on his face.

The candy monarch was a bit surprised at the seriousness before speaking.

"Yes Peppermint, you may. But be careful."

"No worries Milady." Peppermint Butler said before he carefully opened the packet and did see a powder like substance, he then gently stuck his pinky finger in and pulled it out to see that some was stuck to his pinky and licked it a bit before shuddering.

"*Shudder*, oh yes... Milady... this is not Sugar, I remember now that a guest left one of these packets behind and tried it a bit to see if it was sugar, it has the exact same taste as this stuff… I can't forget something like that even if I wanted to." Peppermint Butler said before he carefully closed the packet and set it on the table.

"I would ask Dr. Princess more since she might have some of this stuff for Patients who have worse conditions than the normal ones." Peppermint Butler suggests to Princess Bubblegum.

Bubblegum nods to the candy butler before speaking.

"Of course Peppermint. Go right ahead."

Peppermint Butler nods before he took the packet and placed some of the powder in a nearby bag before putting the leftover powder and the packet back on the table.

"If you'll excuse me Milady, I'll talk with Dr. Princess now." Peppermint Butler said before he walked to the door and exits.

Bubblegum brought her hands to her head before speaking.

"What were you hiding Wiseman? Are there more of you?" She questioned while the computer detailed more about Wiseman's blood while the scene went to Peppermint Butler when he got to Dr. Princess's office.

Ooo/ Candy Kingdom Hospital/ Peppermint Butler

Peppermint Butler walked to the office and knocked on the door before he waits for a response, Dr. Princess should be in her office right now since he asked the lobbyist and heard that Dr. Princess hadn't left yet.

"Come in."

Peppermint Butler enters the room after he opened the door and closed it behind him.

"Hello Dr. Princess, I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Peppermint Butler said while he looked to see what Dr. Princess was doing.

Said Doctor smiled at the candy butler before speaking.

"No not at all. Was there something you need?"

"Indeed, I have something of Wiseman's while the Princess analyzes his blood to see if he is human or not, tell me… do you recognize this?, I think this is a type of medicine."

Peppermint Butler said while he placed the bag on the desk.

Doctor Princess took a look at the bag before speaking.

"Hmmm...You're right. It is some type of medicine. Where did Wiseman get it?"

"It was one of Wiseman's, Jake brought it in, you'll have to ask the princess more details as to how he got it since Jake is sleeping right now, it was in a packet that looked like… it was in a self folding paper packet and I got some to see if you could identify it." Peppermint Butler said while he made a shape of the packet with a nearby pencil and paper, it looked like a small triangle of sorts.

"It was pink if it helps." Peppermint butler said before he slid the drawing to her.

Doctor Princess examined the drawing before speaking.

"Yes it does."

"Can you tell what kind of medicine it is then?" Peppermint Butler asked with a curious tone.

"Well this type of medicine was designed to help prevent any type of illness from spreading further till the patient got the procedure. But if Wiseman had it, then how come he couldn't come here to be treated?" Doctor Princess asked.

"Maybe it was an untreatable disease?, we may have smartest minds in Ooo here but I doubt you or Milady could cure or do everything right?, I mean no insult but is it possible?, he could have found out what the illness was and used the medication to suppress the pain." Peppermint butler said while he thought a bit.

Doctor Princess took a moment to think before speaking.

"You're right. And I know you meant no insult, Peppermint."

Peppermint butler nods before he spoke up.

"Know if this type is specialized for one illness or is it a general one?" Peppermint Butler asked while he waits for an answer.

Doctor Princess took another moment to think before speaking.

"Hmmm...I would say one."

"Know which illness this was used for then?" Peppermint butler asked with a serious look on his face.

Doctor Princess sighed before speaking.

"It depends on which, but I will say...cancer."

Peppermint's eyes widen a bit at that before responding.

"Cancer?... I don't think many candy citizens get that at all so could you remind me on what cancer is…" Peppermint butler said when he felt like he heard that word before but couldn't put his finger on it.

"Well...cancer is a disease that was greatly known before the Mushroom War. A friend of mine once gave me this book that dates back before said war. It holds the names of any disease and symptoms. It even said what can be cured or not. But like you said, what Wiseman said can't be cured if he didn't try coming here." Doctor Princess said.

"Was the Cancer treatable?" Peppermint Butler asked with a slight frown on his face.

"Hmmm...In order to find out, I'll have to take a sample of Wiseman's blood. Are you or the princess planning to tell Finn or Jake about this?" Doctor Princess asked with a curious and concerned tone.

"...I'm sure the princess will tell them after she gets enough data... I'm just trying to find out what caused Wiseman's death so that I can report to the princess later." Peppermint Butler said with a serious look on his face.

Doctor Princess sighed before speaking.

"Okay. Just wait here so I can get a sample of Wiseman's blood before I can give you my analysis."

"Very well, I'll just sit here then." Peppermint Butler said before he sat on one of the spare chairs in the room.

Doctor Princess nods to him before she exits the room to see Wiseman's body.

A bit of time pass while Peppermint Butler moved around the room a bit to stretch his legs a bit before he hummed when he looked at Dr. Princess's desk.

When Dr. Princess came back in… she saw that Peppermint Butler was sitting in her chair while he read a book on the average candy citizen body.

Dr. Princess cleared her throat to get said candy butler's attention which caused Peppermint Butler to jolt before looking to Dr. Princess before he chuckled nervously before getting out of the chair.

"S-Sorry, got bored from waiting here and found a book to occupy my time." Peppermint butler said while he went back to his previous chair.

Dr. Princess shook her head with a smile before speaking.

"No worries. I got the results of Wiseman's blood work."

"Great, what did the results say?" Peppermint butler asked while he looked back to Dr. Princess who went back to her chair.

"Well...the cancer that Wiseman had was in his lungs." Doctor Princess said.

"I see…" Peppermint butler said with a slightly sad expression on his face.

"Yes indeed." Dr. Princess said with a sad voice as well.

"How severe was it?, was it just the lung cancer that ended his life or was it something else?, I overheard that Wiseman was outside of the treehouse in an odd spell circle from Jake when he talked about it with the Princess… don't you find that somewhat strange, even if he hid the cancer and could put up a tough front, I doubt Wiseman would just do something like that for no reason." Peppermint Butler said when he found some odd actions that Wiseman did.

"It is strange, yes. But after looking at his blood work, it shows that the cancer in his lungs were a bit too advanced to be cured. But that's not what killed him." Dr. Princess said.

"Huh?... it's… not?, then what did kill him?" Peppermint Butler said with a raised eyebrow since this was causing more questions then answers.

Dr. Princess took a moment to think before speaking.

"You said Jake mentioned of a spell circle. So maybe something magic based had happened when Wiseman was outside."

Peppermint took a moment to think before he had an idea.

"Maybe if it wasn't the cancer… but Wiseman himself… pushed his body too far and he couldn't take it… the reason is a mystery though since Jake didn't go into details about the spell itself… the only one who probably knows is Finn since he is… or was Wiseman's pupil." Peppermint Butler said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Hmmm...I guess you're right. But I'm not sure you should ask him after what he's going through." Dr. Princess said.

"Maybe, but I may have to look at the spell first to see if I can recognize it, I know a few people who owe me one so I may as well visit someone after looking at the spell." Peppermint Butler cryptically said said before he got up from the chair and bowed a bit to Dr. Princess.

"Thank you Dr. Princess, I'll let Milady know of your findings before I do a bit of investigating of my own." Peppermint Butler said before he turned to the door and heads towards it.

"Alright but if you plan to look at the body, try not to take too long since I need to make sure that Wiseman is ready." Dr. Princess said.

"No worries, I trust that if you found anything odd, you would have told me, I'll just give him my respects and head on out." Peppermint Butler said before he exits the room.

"Alright then." Dr. Princess said before going over some paperwork.

Ooo/ Candy Kingdom Hospital/ Morgue/ Peppermint Butler

Peppermint Butler enters the room after he got a few directions since he rarely enters here before looking for Wiseman's body.

He sees Wiseman's body on one of the tables with his hands on his chest. His hat was still absent from his head.

Peppermint Butler approached before he starts to chant when he was alone while he closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened them and he walked towards the corner wall and crossed his eyes to enter Death's domain to get some answers since Death could answer much more than a simple investigation could.

Death's domain/ Entrance area/ Peppermint Butler.

When he entered, he saw that everything looked the same as usual before he approached the gatekeeper with no worries on his face.

Said gatekeeper brought his spear down in front of Peppermint Butler before speaking.

"Halt. State your business."

"I am hear to speak with Death fool, either tell him Peppermint Butler from the Candy kingdom is here to visit or I will move you by force." Peppermint Butler said before a cold feeling emits from him while his face turns a bit eerie which even made a chill go through already cold dead people around him.

The gatekeeper was now sweating bullets after hearing that.

"M-My apologies Master Butler. P-Please enter. Just don't tell Death about this." He said before lifting his spear up to allow Peppermint to enter.

Peppermint Butler just passed by with no word to be said before he walked to Death's main location past the river styx.

Death's domain/ Death's home/ Peppermint Butler

Peppermint Butler walked into the area before he looks around for Death, he even spoke up to see if he could get the deity's attention.

"Death, I need to speak with you, it's important." Peppermint Butler said before he starts to walk forward.

That's when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ask and you shall receive." Said a voice that obviously belong to Death before he appeared from under the pile of bones.

"Hello Death, it's been awhile, how are things in your domain?" Peppermint Butler said to the deity.

"Eh...the usual. But I love my job either way. What brings you here Peppermint?" Death asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A man who calls himself Wiseman died earlier, did his spirit already pass through here?" Peppermint Butler said while he looked to the deity.

"Actually yes. I can take you to him. Follow me." Death said before motioning him to follow him.

Peppermint butler was a bit surprised before he follows the deity.

It wasn't long till the duo reached a door.

Once Death opened it, he showed Peppermint Butler something that surprised him.

He saw Wiseman's ghost sitting at a table, and it looked like he was enjoying a party or something.

"What's going on?" Peppermint Butler asked while he looked to Death.

Said deity chuckled before responding.

"Hehehe, you see after he showed up, we got to talking and he's told a bunch of great stories of his."

"I see, and the party?" Peppermint Butler said when he saw a few skeletons wearing Butler and maid outfit as they serve a large group of ghosts.

"Oh that, I'm having a poker game with the Cosmic Owl and Hunson Abadeer. You're more than welcome to join us Peppermint." Death said.

"Maybe later, I need to speak with Wiseman first about a few things, I could stick around after for a round or two but I'll need to head back to the princess or she'll get suspicious." Peppermint Butler said with an amused tone at the poker game.

"Alright then. Yo Wiseman! My friend wants to talk to you." Death called out.

Wiseman, in ghost form, looked away from what he was doing before he got a bit surprised when he saw the candy Butler.

He looked back to Hudson and the Cosmic Owl before speaking up.

"I'll be right back gentleman, and read em and weep." Wiseman said with a slightly echoish tone while he flipped his cards to show that he had a royal flush.

Hudson and the Cosmic Owl groan in annoyance from that.

Peppermint Butler waited till Wiseman was in front of him.

"You know, I thought something was strange about you, guess I should've figured out that you knew dark magic, would also explain why you're here while still alive… so… how is Finn doing?" Wiseman said to get to the heart of the matter.

Peppermint Butler sighed before speaking.

"Well I'm not sure but I know he's saddened by your death."

"I see, well it was bound to happen sooner or later… so what do you want to know?" Wiseman asked with a serious expression on his face, even dead he still seem to emit some power, but it was less then he was alive.

Peppermint Butler wasn't phased by that look before speaking.

"I want to know what killed you. I know for a fact that it wasn't the cancer that was in your lungs."

"It was a fragment of the Lich… tell me, do you know of Wiseman messengers?" Wiseman said with crossed arms.

Peppermint Butler was a bit stump before replying.

"Not much. Is that what you are? Are there more of you? Cause I remember meeting some and they had the same medicine pack like yours."

Wiseman raised an eyebrow before waving his hand in front of Peppermint Butler before images appeared next to him which showed the people in question before chuckling when the images fade.

"Sorry but those aren't Wiseman messengers, to flashy... so must be some kind of noble, anyway… a Wiseman Messenger in the most basic explanation is like a better dreamwalker then CO here, instead of just showing confusing dreams, we actually talk with people to get them back on track, but in a way we're they come to the answer themselves, can't give them all the answers right?" Wiseman explained while dissing Cosmic Owl a bit.

Peppermint Butler was a bit embarrassed after hearing most of the info before speaking.

"I guess not. I have another question...Are you human?"

"Yep… well mostly, my mom was human and my dad was a Wiseman Messenger, I take after my mom, he was a humanoid who was able to cast high level spells without losing his mind, he should still be in charge of the group right now since he ages slowly." Wiseman explained with crossed arms.

Peppermint Butler was shocked after hearing that.

"Wait...if you're mother was human, are there more of them? How old is your father since your old yourself?"

"Hey I make looking old look good, anyway, I never really asked… but I heard rumors that he either started the entire Wiseman Messenger group or was close to that, and yeah, there are a lot of Humans since we have a hidden city which is protected by stronger guys then myself." Wiseman explained to the candy Butler.

Peppermint was so shocked after hearing that.

"Okay 1) Does Finn know?, 2) If not then how come you haven't taken him to the human city?, 3) How long were you ill and why you never got treated?" He asked.

Wiseman sighs before speaking up.

"1.) I was planning on telling Finn when he passed his training, 2.) You need certain requirements to get in like showing that you can use a spell or two, the city is a magic based one but the spells are the kind that won't let you go insane, but you can get in if you don't if you get a recommendation from another Wiseman Messenger, 3.) I've… been sick for about 6 years or so, I've been using those packets and some magic to slow the effect of the illness, as for treatment, it wouldn't matter much since I had to put everything I had to get rid of that Fragment of the Lich that was in Finn dream so even if I wanted to… I got old… simple as that and I couldn't do as much as in my youth." Wiseman explained to the Candy Butler.

Peppermint Butler felt sad about that before speaking.

"I'm sorry to hear that. How close was Finn to complete his training?"

"... about halfway or close to it, I was teaching the basics first and he lacks the experience required for the darker dreams… and I'm worried that if my dad hears about my death, then he might do something rash to Finn since he's not the calmest guy there is, he maybe a nice man but he can be even scarier than Hudson if pushed too far and he might blame Finn for it." Wiseman explained while talking a thinking pose.

Peppermint Butler was now worried.

"1) Then should I help hide Finn?, 2) Does he need to find another Wiseman Messenger t complete his training?, 3) Should I wait to tell him about the other humans?" He asked.

"Hmm… 1.) Hiding won't work, Wisemans can enter dreams and find out the info even if the person in question doesn't realize it, like say you pass by Finn in another city and you don't realize it, a Wiseman can use that to locate the city in question, 2.) Yeah, if he can somehow calm my dad down then he could get trained fully if my dad sends another Wiseman Messenger, 3.) I would wait for after the funeral since I got a feeling that things might be a bit rough for Finn right now and telling him now would only make him feel worse… and he would probably punch my corpse or something." Wiseman explained while he chuckled at the end.

"I see. If you want, I can leave out the cancer part." Peppermint Butler said.

Wiseman took a moment to think before frowning.

"No… better to tell him the truth since he could hear it from Bubblegum or Dr. Princess, besides… I did something before my death to try and help cheer Finn up." Wiseman said before grinning at the end.

"What did you do?" Peppermint Butler asked with a curious look.

Wiseman keeps his grin before he respond.

"Simple, invite Phoebe to the funeral and see what happens." Wiseman cryptically said with his grin widening more.

Peppermint's eyes widen before grinning.

"Ah, I see what you're doing. You know, don't tell Hudson, but I always thought that Finn would try asking his daughter, Marceline out since the two always hung out." He whispered just in case.

"I agree, he maybe a hero but he has his dark moments which impress me…" a voice said from behind Peppermint Butler to the duos shock which caused said duo to jolt before looking… to see Hudson while he carried a drink in hand which had mini souls flowing out of it.

"How long were you listening to us?" Peppermint Butler asked.

"Hmm… from this guy saying that his dad was possibly even scarier than I all the way to now, anyway I don't mind if Finn dates my daughter for three reasons, wanna hear?" Hudson said while he moved his hand a bit to mix his drink more.

Wiseman chuckled before speaking.

"Oh I definitely like to hear this." He said before nodding to Hudson.

"Well first off, he's many times better than that Ash character, you heard of him right?" Hudson said before his eyes glow bit from his anger.

"Indeed I have." Wiseman said with a frown since he remembered meeting Marceline and heard about said douchebag.

"Second is the fact that Finn wore my amulet and was able to keep sane after I removed it, that thing is filled with pure evil and he's still the same, gotta respect that a bit." Hudson said before chuckling at the memory.

Wiseman raised his eyebrow before speaking.

"Before you continue, you say you're okay with Finn dating your daughter, but you're not planning to have Finn were the amulet right?"

"Ehh, maybe another day if I'm bored, but that's a maybe, besides I'm still trying to convince Marceline to take over for me and I want to focus on one person first." Hudson said with an amused tone which caused a lot of ghosts and Peppermint Butler to sweatdrop.

"I'll… warn Finn about that later." Peppermint Butler said since that seemed like a red flag moment.

Wiseman nods to the candy butler before speaking Hudson.

"Continue please."

"Third and Finally, even if you ignore the possible multiple romances, Finn would treat Marcy with respect and I can at least respect that since the guys in Marcy's past… were not exactly well liked." Hudson said when he frowned at a few memories.

Wiseman seemed to like that answer.

"Still… if he hurts my little Marcy… well you already know what an angered dad would do… right?" Hudson said while emitting a chilling look while keeping his face normal somehow.

Wiseman was not phased by that, but understood about angry dads.

"I understand what you're saying, but I know Finn will never hurt anyone."

"Maybe… you may have gotten rid of that piece of the Lich in Finn so I can't say much now, but if he does something this time… it will be all on him this time, just saying since those experiences could affect him even now and he won't have much of a defense… just saying, besides don't you have a family of your own?, A son or daughter?" Hudson said before asking that last part.

Wiseman chuckled a bit before speaking.

"Saldy no. I never married. The only thing I did was dedicate my life to the Wiseman's. I have helped train a few, but Finn was someone I considered a son to me."

"No ladies… you had fun with in the past?, For all you know you may have kids you never knew of if so." Hudson asked since he doubt that ladies wouldn't… want to repay Wiseman sometimes for being a knight in shining armor.

"Well...back in my younger days, I did attracted a lot of ladies. There were times when I had relations with some of the girls in the order. In fact I was with two women whom I cared for at the same time. But one decided to focus on her career while I was planning to marry the other...but unfortunately she died during a mission. Now while I was training Finn, I always get visited by the Water Nymphs." Wiseman said.

"Maybe the one who focused on her career happened to have a kid as well… and congrats with those Water Nymphs, I hear that they can be flexible." Hudson said with a humored tone.

"Hehe, thanks. Now it is a possibility that she was carrying my child. But if that were the case, she could've told me." Wiseman said with a curious.

"Maybe she didn't want to distract you since you did have a job here in Ooo and traveled a lot, I remember that my wife kept Marcy a secret when she was pregnant… said something about letting her have her own choices or something like that and didn't want me to corrupt her or some spiel about that." Hudson said before he drank his drink with a half lidded look on his face.

Everyone sweatdrop while giving Abadeer a half lidded look.

"Right...Well anyway, I wouldn't blame her if she did that, but still, I would love to see my own flesh and blood. If there is one." Wiseman said with a concerned look.

"Well unless there was a way to take the cancer out of your body, then Peppermint Butler could ask Death to give you a second chance at life, but I think he already did that with Finn and Jake and a plant of some kind." Hudson said while he glanced at the Candy Butler.

"It's a beautiful thought, but I can't ask Death to do something like that. Like my mother said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get." Wiseman said.

"Guess you got bad luck when you got a crappy piece of cancer chocolate and a Lich flavored one then." Hudson said with a raised eyebrow.

Wiseman sighed before speaking.

"Look, the way my mom said it, it just means that you gotta live life to the fullest no matter."

Hudson shrugged before responding.

"I still stand by it, mind explaining one thing though… did you ever tell Finn about your past lovers?" Hudson teased since this could be funny.

"Well I was about to, but I had to wait for Jake to explain the concept of sex to the boy." Wiseman said.

"Wait… isn't he older than 18 now?, shouldn't he know it by now?" Hudson said since… that might be something to talk about.

"19. I had to wait till Finn turned 18 so Jake can finally explain the mechanics to him. But I made sure to stay to make sure he doesn't chicken out." Wiseman said.

"That dog and his overprotective mind… anyway did you even speak to him about it… I heard that you might try and get the Queen of flames back together with him but my sources say that Marcy also has an eye on him as well… and I think a few other ladies as well." Hudson said while shaking his head at Jake and his prudeness.

"Hmmm...in that case, then the only option would be that the two, or possibly more, share Finn." Wiseman said.

"Think it would be that easy?, Remember who were talking about here." Hudson said with a raised eyebrow.

"Finn has a good heart. There's no doubt about it. However it's the girls that have to agree on this." Wiseman said with crossed arms.

"So an easily enraged fire elemental, a possessive Demon/Vampire, possibly that stoic wood Nymph Wizard and possibly other woman… yeah… what could possibly go wrong." Hudson said with an amused tone since this could be funny to watch.

"You're forgetting who you're talking too." Wiseman said with a smirk.

"What?, Did you give him advice on wooing the ladies or something?" Hudson said when a funny idea formed in his head.

"Uh yes. I told him to be himself. Always treat a woman with a respect during a date, which is obvious. But I told him to always take a women places that she wants." Wiseman said.

"Alright… HEY DEATH I GOT A FUN IDEA IF YOU WANNA HEAR IT!" Hudson shouts to Death who was a distance away from the group.

Said deity approached the group with a curious look.

"Okay. What's the idea?" He asked.

"Simple, we watch Finn to see what happens, we can make it fun by placing bets for it." Hudson suggests with a grin on his face.

"Hmmm...I'm game." Death said with a grin on his face as well/

"And the stakes… for the ghosts, for every bet they win, they get one day back on Ooo to see loved ones or for unfinished business… as for guys like Death and me if one of us wins… hmm… for me, I'll have a ghost make me a portal so I can go to Ooo if I need one, that acceptable?" Hudson said while looking to Death and Wiseman to see if they accept or not.

Said duo looked at each other before giving Hudson their answer.

"Deal." Wiseman said.

"Alright... Death how about you?, What do you want if you win a bet?" Hudson said with an amused grin on his face.

"Hmmm...I like to have an orb of a thousand souls." Said deity replied.

"Hmm… alright, i'll need to take a few days to get it though." Hudson said after thinking of how long it would take.

"Hehe, take your time. It's not like I have anywhere else to be." Death said with a grin.

Hudson shrugged before looking to Peppermint Butler.

"Want in on this?" Hudson asked with an amused grin.

"Hmmm...alright." Peppermint Butler said.

"So, what do you want in you win?, We got multiple ladies after all." Hudson said since there was multiple Woman that Finn knew.

Peppermint Butler took a moment to think before he grinned evilly.

"Give me five of your prisoners so I can do my...experiments."

"Alright, I got thousands more so what's five gonna hurt…. So who is the lady your backing?, I'll be backing my daughter of course." Hudson said with crossed arms.

"I'll be backing Phoebe." Wiseman said.

"Huntress Wizard for me." Death said.

Peppermint Butler took a moment to think on this before speaking.

"I'll be backing up, Phoebe as well."

"Alright… how about a side bet to sweeten the deal." Hudson said with a grin on his face.

The trio were curious about that before Wiseman spoke.

"What kind of side deal?"

"Simple… dating is one thing but this is a another thing… you get why in a moment… but who do you think will take Finn's virginity?" Hudson said with an amused grin on his face.

The trio were surprised after hearing that before they smirk at the idea.

"I'll take a piece of that bet." Peppermint Butler said.

"Me too/Me too." Death and Wiseman said in unison.

"Alright, wanna double the reward of the first bet, 10 prisoners for Peppermint Butler, two days for ghosts, and two thousand souls in an orb." Hudson explained to the trio.

The trio were surprised after hearing that.

"Or do you have other ideas for the side bet?... I got one if I win..." Hudson said with a grin on his face.

The trio looked at each other before looking back at Hudson since they want to win.

"Which is what?" Death asked.

"Simple, you three would owe me one favor, within reason of course, you could even change your bet to that for the others here if you want." Hudson said while his grin grew a bit wider.

The trio looked to one another before saying

"Deal/Deal/ Deal." They said in unison which made Hudson chuckle.

"Alright, we have a deal, now then… Hudson said before his hand lit up with energy and a eyeball demon was summoned which was palm sized.

"Take this guy Peppermint and it will follow Finn, the images will be sent here and displayed on this." Hudson said while he did a similar trick and a large demonic themed TV was summoned in his hand before he placed it on the ground carefully.

"Alright." Peppermint Butler said before picking up the tiny demon.

The demon moved a bit at that before sitting on top of Peppermint Butler head.

"Alright. Anything else?" Peppermint Butler questioned.

"Hmm… I think we should keep the bet itself secret and keep out of the way… I'm looking at you Butler." Hudson said while giving the darker magic using Butler a half lidded look.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Said candy butler said while acting innocent.

"Yeah… I'll have a demon watch you as well, try anything to it and you forfeit, I'm sure the others agree since you can actually enter Ooo and back with no issue." Hudson said with a half lidded look still on his face while he summoned a second eye demon which flies over the Candy Butler and kept looking at him.

Wiseman and Death looked at Peppermint Butler with raised eyebrows.

Said Butler chuckled nervously before speaking.

"Very well then. Is there more or do we go back to poker?"

"Eh not really, besides I want to win back what I lost from Obi-wan here." Hudson said with a really really old reference.

Wiseman was confused on the name.

"Who's that?" He asked.

"Old movie character, forget about that and get ready to lose." Hudson said before gulping his drink down and walked back to the poker table.

"In your dreams." Wiseman said with a grin before following Hudson.

The rest of the group followed before they sat at the table before Hudson looked to the group.

"So… who wants to cut the cards?" Hudson said before the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up to Atomsk and TME rubbing their stomachs after eating the pizza.

"*Phew* remind me to do this another time, next time you wanna switch who pays for what?" TME asked while he took a moment to stretch before he sat in his chair.

"*Phew* Sure. Or we can split it." Atomsk said before he continues to rub his stomach.

"Or we could do what Hudson and the others are doing… wanna make a bet?, Loser pays for entire thing?" TME said with a grin on his face.

Atomsk took a moment to think before speaking.

"Hmmm...Okay what's the bet?" He asked.

"Simple, how many chapters until the first lemon or lime, I'll go for the high road and say 5 to six?" TME said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Hmmm...Your on." Atomsk said.

"Alright, thoughts on the chapter so far?" TME asked to hear Atomsk thoughts.

"Well it was still sad to see Wiseman gone along with the fact that he had cancer. It was funny to see how Jake and Lady met him. I was really surprised to hear that he was part human. But now I'm worried about Wiseman's dad getting angry. And speaking of dads, wonder what's Marceline's along with the other's reaction about that little bet?" Atomsk asked with an amused tone.

"Yeah, but that won't be for a long time, anyway, what will you readers think?, Think Wiseman as a ghost is too much?

"Eh not really. We might even use the scene from ep.5 of SW. Or was that too much?" Atomsk asked.

"Empire strikes back?, Sure… just to remind me, is that the one with Yoda or am I mixing that up with the next movie?" TME asked so since it's been a long time since he watched the trilogy.

"No no, it's with Yoda." Atomsk said.

"Alright, mind leading that one when we get to it, it might jog my memory." TME asked while tapping his head.

"Of course." Atomsk said.

"Alright, any final thoughts or teaser for the next chapter?" TME asked with a grin on his face.

"Hmmm...teaser please." Atomsk said.

"Alright, next Chapter takes off after Peppermint Butler leaves Death's domain with the two demons, they won't kick in till after the funeral so it'll be a bit before we see Wiseman and the others in Death's domain, now if you'll excuse us, we got more stories to work on." TME said with a grin on his face.

"Yes indeed. Later everyone. Deuces." Atomsk said with two fingers before the scene fades black.
