Author Note: It is chapter 15! Yes I have been looking forward to writing this. I have been busy lately with real life and blowing off steam with video games, so sorry for being a bit of a lazy potato hahaha. Hope you all enjoy and are looking forward to the events in this chapter of "Finn's Soul." Everything is coming together, all that is left is to sort out the pieces. Haha I'm silly. Anyway enjoy reading and as always. Your all lovely readers!
Also I have seen the Island episodes of Adventure Time and I feel I wanted to make the entire thing cannon in my fanfic besides Fern, since you know Finn in this fanfic still has his grass arm. Haha tell me what you readers think of this idea.
I see why some author's feel that some of their stories turn into a mess and end up disliking it over another project they have now. Since you learn a lot and you end up regretting certain things you can't take back in the story or you flow out of a certain style for a bit. Honestly I feel that way for this chapter and probably a few other ones. I thankfully have you wonderful readers to tell me what errors I made, or what I should avoid if it becomes too messy, I do enjoy having you all there, it reassures me each chapter release. I'm also lucky I planned out all the chapters after this one, so they shouldn't be hard. Though chapters will probably take longer to release, mainly because this story is getting through the bumpy parts of writing, where I have a lot of info that needs to be consistent. If it comes to it I will just say fudge it to "Finn's Soul" for a bit and work on "The Hero & The Bandit" Since I want to get some attention to it as well for the unique ship I set sail. Maybe my cannons will work? XD I will shut up now. Your all lovely readers!
Finn collapsed on his knees after a few minutes, the potion and adrenaline dissipating as Finn's body throbbed from the suffering he endured… Not only from Ash. His body was reacting badly from the amount of sheer force he exerted. His face was pale as he began to feel sick, if he thought getting punched in the stomach by Phoebe was bad enough, this was ten times as bad. Finn collapsed completely in the grass the broken Fulgur Spear laying at his side. "Oh for the love of Glob…" Finn curled up into the fetal position, waiting for a whole hour, the sun rising higher into the sky. Finn was finally able to gather the strength to pick himself up, he looked at the spear's remains and sighed. "I should bring this to Bubblegum, if there are any more of these… Weapons, then we need to track them down before the enemy can." Finn thought to himself silently as he stored the broken spear into his pack and he wobbled home using the Soul Sword as a support, holding Finn Sword in his right hand with a tight fist, the face of his alternate self forming in the blue sphere. "Hey maybe we should get more help."
Finn stopped halfway from his home as he lifted up Finn Sword and looked into his own eyes. "What do you mean by that? We have to be the hero, we need to protect everyone and prevent any harm from coming to them, and you should know that better than anyone, you are me after all!" Finn exclaimed, a stressed look replacing his pained expression. Finn Sword spoke back calmly with furrowed brows. "I know, I know. The fact is though that you keep risking your life, if it wasn't for the Grass Sword you and everyone in Ooo could be inhabiting the dead worlds right now! We can't keep treating ourselves as mere objects meant only to serve. We are alive. We are only so powerful alone, we can't carry all of the weight on our own shoulders, don't be afraid to ask for help you have so many friends and family that would be there to help you in your time of need." Finn Sword gave Finn a smile before fading away, causing Finn to crack easy and give off his own radiant smile as he wobbled home. He wasn't going to enjoy the similar lecture he was going to get from Marceline.
Finn sat with his head hanging low on the purple chair as Marceline gave him an upset glare, her arms crossed and her hip pivoted to the side slightly. "Do you understand how stupid you were this morning?!" She exclaimed with a mix of anger and worry. Finn only nodded before he looked up and replied to the angry vampire. "I know, it was foolish of me to fight him alone, I almost died after all, but I had to do it, if I waited any longer he could have killed all of us, and I didn't want any harm to come to you. I wouldn't be able to face myself if something went wrong." In a blur of motion Marceline's right hand came into Finn's view, a loud echo filling the room as Marceline left a bright red hand print on Finn's cheek. "That's for being selfish. This is for being caring." She then grabbed Finn by the collar and pressed her lips passionately against his, causing confusion to course through Finn's mind. He felt a sharp pain in both his face and chest, but it melted away like ice into a flutter of affection. Marceline broke the kiss and gave Finn a playful smirk. "You Mr. Hero need to get into bed. We have a busy week ahead of us after all." Finn caught the teasing tone easily and gave her a soft smirk of his own before he stood up and spoke as he went to climb up to the bedroom. "Well do you want to join me in bed my Queen? You seem to be in the rough mood today." Finn laughed as he saw Marceline bite her lip and blush. He began to feel bashful once he was in bed. "What if she thinks I'm a weirdo now for saying that, but then again the way she reacted seemed to tell an entirely different story." Finn was left alone with his thoughts for only a moment before Marceline entered the room in only her bra and panties, floating towards Finn before she mounted herself on top of Finn who ran his hands across her soft pale skin. The two began to kiss and embrace each other, stripping each other and making love to each other until noon.
Once the two woke up in bed together from their wild morning they quickly got dressed and went down into the kitchen. "I already have all the support we can get for the attack on Betty's hideout, the Kingdoms of Ooo also have been filled in on the situation and plan to mobilize their forces. We need to thank Bubblegum for arranging that for us. Then finally the Lich and several threats have been dealt with. All we have to do now is track down these Element Creator's weapons before they can obtain them. So far we have two out of six." Finn listed off their objectives and plan for the upcoming war, it all perplexed him though. The fact that the Element Creators are capable of such power, he was skeptical at first, but after his fight with Ash he felt horror when he thought about how much destruction these god like beings could bring to Ooo. Finn shook his head, getting a raised eyebrow from Marceline as she began to adjust the strings on her ax bass and strum a simple tune until she found the right adjustment. Finn could only smile at the nostalgia he felt. "We should head out and see if PB has any way of helping us find the rest of the weapons, she will probably want to take a look at the Fulgur Spear. Hopefully she doesn't electrocute herself." Finn stated with a halfhearted sigh. Even after Ash's death and the destruction of the Fulgur Spear Finn could still feel electricity coursing through the scarlet weapon. Even with how resistant he was to electricity it still sent jolts across his body when he held it. Marceline floated past Finn and went down to the entrance of the tree fort. Finn was close behind her, but stopped when he felt a chill down his spine, he could feel a presence in the room. He looked around hoping it would only be a worm, but as he scanned the room his eyes came to a stained window, his eyes meeting a fading pair of violet eyes with a violet spiral vortex symbol in their pupils. The feeling of being watched disappeared as they eyes faded away, Finn recognized the eyes, the exhausted yet full of life filled eyes of Finn's mysterious ally Francis. "I didn't know he cared." Finn thought to himself sarcastically as he continued on his previous path downstairs.
He crossed the wooden floor gazing towards the pile of treasure by the doorway then towards Marceline waiting by the door with a smile. Finn returned her a joyful smile as he put his pack on his back and strapped the Soul Sword and Finn Sword to his back. He still felt like he was slammed into the ground from orbit, but he knew that moving around would help him more than loathing at home. "Ready to head out handsome? If we have time then let's do some shopping, I need to pick up some things for you, and I know you definitely have things you need to pick up. I have seen that 'little' list of yours." When she finished speaking Marceline had a satisfied look on her face when Finn rubbed the back of his neck with a laugh and agreed to the idea of shopping.
Meanwhile at the Candy Kingdom Princess Bubblegum was stripping off her clothes in her laboratory until she was down to her underwear. She then opened a locked cabinet with one of thousands of passcodes she memorized, a mechanical hiss filling the room before the cabinet slid open to reveal a pink form fitting full body suit covered with green technological highlights and circular shapes symmetrically across the suit. As she looked at the suit it reminded her of the time she went to Wizard City with Finn and Jake to find a cold spell for Starchy. The suit was similar to the one she wore that day, except her entire body beside her neck and head would be covered, and the color was different. She took a deep breath as she took the full body suit off of the rack and put it on feet first, the suit was much larger than her actual body shape. The candy ruler pressed a button on the electronic collar a small hiss coming from the suit as it shrunk until it was skin tight to the ruler's feminine physique. "Funny to think that Finn thought I was naked in the disguise when we went to Wizard City. What a silly boy he was." She let out a giggle before she took a baseball sized silver metallic cube with microscopic circuitry and data flowing through it off one of her lab tables nearby. She applied pressure to the cube as she spoke with an intense expression across her face. "Activate Proto form G." The cube destabilized into thousands of small metallic shards, exposing a small green spherical version of the energy acceleration core from the center of the cube. The shards spiraling around Bubblegum's hand and fingers as they slowly formed shard by shard into a silver futuristic looking revolver. The weapon had a bull barrel with technological circuitry coursing across the weapon's frame like a root system from the weapon's green core located where the revolver's cylinder would be. The weapon created a low hum as it stabilized in this form, the grip of the gun made of a carbon fiber like material. Bubblegum felt a pride filled smirk cross her face until she looked at a small screen on the left side of the frame near the hammer. It caused her to let out a sigh as she read the digital letters and numbers on the screen.
Current Charge: 25%
"At least it didn't blow up in my hands this time." Bubblegum spoke with an exhausted sigh following as she got a feel for the weapon in her hand and let her eyes scan up and down its surface in a trance like state before she finally broke her gaze from it and placed it on the lab table. She felt as if she would lose everything dear to her if she did not prepare. She felt afraid deep inside, but her long life had taught her how to deal with such an emotion, she believed in hope. She believed in her friends, kingdom, and world. She believed in herself, and that's all Bubblegum needed to cast away her fears. Finally after she settled her emotions completely she put her royal gown over her skin tight suit and finally resting her iconic crown upon her head and strode out of the laboratory to precede with her daily royal tasks unaware of her friends entering her kingdom gates at the very moment.
"So Finn I was thinking that we should get you more protection." Marceline said in a patient yet cool tone. Finn gave her a look of curiousity, his eyebrows shifting as the sun made his blue eyes seem like exotic gems to the vampire. Yet the first thought that came to Finn's mind at the thought of protection was the time he and Jack set out to get armor, going on an embarrassing quest to only retrieve a woman' set of armor that didn't even fit him. "I'm not the suit of armor kind of guy, to cliché, and silly for me." Finn said with distaste as he tried to avoid bringing up the Armor of Zeldron. "Obviously doofus. Jake told me about how some wimp riding a pink horse kept embarrassing you, and how you wore a giant woman's armor. Besides even with your strength full armor would slow you down and get you killed. So I was thinking of getting you some plate armor, that way you have more protection and you won't be hindered by it in combat." As Marceline reminded Finn about Sir Slicer and the days' worth of embarrassment he just sighed and mumbled out in frustration a question he already knew the answer to. "Jake told you didn't he?" Finn got his answer as Marceline bellowed in laughter as Finn growled through his teeth in frustration at his brother's gossiping nature. "Besides the point, thank you for being considerate to my fighting style Marcy, but you don't have to be worried I will be Fine, I heal fast and I can even take burning in lava for almost a whole minute." Finn boasted with pride as Marceline gave Finn a stern look that easily read "Are you stupid?" Finn sighed under the gaze, feeling sweat go down his brow, "No matter what I face, it defiantly can't top the fear of making the person you love upset." Finn thought to himself. As they went through the market of the Candy Kingdom Finn realized that they were now on a head on course towards a stand made completely of iron, the sign having rusted bolted letters reading: Adamantine Blood.
Finn was taken aback when he saw a blood demon behind the stand almost causing Finn to confuse it for Kee-Oth, the demon that's blood was used to make the Demon Blood Sword. Which was later broken after was Kee-Oth released by Ice King and used Jake as a hostage to get his blood back. Yet this blood demon had yellow eyes and was much more muscular than Kee-Oth. The demon's horns were also facing the back of the demon's head from its temples, completely straight with a spiral like design across the horns. It spoke in a deep and surprisingly clear tone as they approached the stand. "Well, well, costumers that don't throw holy water at me the second they see me. What can I do for you today? If I may also say it is quite an honor to have the daughter of Hunson Abadeer visit my humble little stand." Finn was surprised Marceline ignored the comment regarding her demon lineage. Instead she moved a few locks of hair out of her face and began to speak, what seemed to Finn like an incredibly serious speech for the Vampire Queen who preferred to just jam out on her guitar and play games rather than take anything besides loved ones seriously. "What I require is not flattery Va-Mok. I want you to make armor plating for the Hero here." She points her thumb back towards Finn who smiled and waved in greeting towards the demon Va-Mok who in turn scowled at the human. "I see, well you do realize that my best armor would be made out of Citadel Guardian blood, and multiverse cosmic beings are difficult to absorb blood from, especially when they are almost extinct. So that mea-" The demon was exposing its unaligned needle like teeth before Marceline interrupted it by placing a purple crystal ball on the stand, soul like wisps spinning around inside of the orb like a miniature underworld. "T-This is a-" Marceline interrupted the demon again with a cocky tone of voice. "It is a Demon Netherworld orb indeed." Finn raised an eyebrow, looking between the determined vampire and the speechless demon. "Soooo should I be the one to ask?" Finn asked with a confused look on his face. "You remember how you told me that demon that kidnapped Jake lived in a strange dimension? Well a Demon Netherworld orb extends that pocket dimension into something much larger. Lumpy Space was actually made with one if I remember my three hundredth birthday correctly." Finn was intrigued, yet disturbed that such a small item could be so useful for those with access to said pocket dimensions. The demon cackled before exploding into a cloud of red smoke. "Guess that means yes. What a weirdo." Finn thought to himself
It felt like an hour after accepting the offer when the demon Va-Mok vanished with the zeal of a madman to what Finn could assume was its own pocket dimension to create the armor requested for him. He felt disturbed by the thought of wearing the blood of a cosmic being, especially one he had a hand in destroying over idiotic daddy issues. "Add that to the list of things me and Marcy have in common." Finn thought to himself as he rolled his eyes at the thought of Martin. Finn sat against the metal stand for several minutes, suddenly the demon reappeared out of thin air in his original position. It startled the human for a few seconds before the Demon handed him a set of pure white armor plating, with straps of what Finn could only guess was carbon fiber to hold the armor in place over his clothes. The armor consisted of shoulder plates, arm protectors, greaves. A smiled crossed the human as he held the armor, it felt almost weightless, yet also unbreakable. Finn decided to put on the armor, strapping the shoulder pads on first and securing them before strapping the arm protectors and greaves in place afterwards. Every piece of armor had engravings across its surface, reminding Finn of the Citadel Guardian's nervous system inside of its crystalline body. There was a clear sphere on the wrist of his left arm protector, and he could feel a notch against his skin that was below the clear sphere. The arm protector's had an round hourglass shape and looked like a mixture of cut marble and metal, but had a very clear texture against Finn's Fingers, solid and rough like metal. The Shoulder plates were pyramid shaped with a flat top with cut aquamarine embedded in the center of the flat top and the longest angle of the pyramids facing out away from his body. The greaves were layered armor, resembling metal scales, and had bladed shins that were surrounded by a magic barrier to act as a sheath when Finn was not in combat. The knee-pads were a basic circular shape with the same nervous system like engravings across them like the rest of the armor. Finn felt giddy child as he moved his arms and legs to feel how the armor fit to his body, and it was very well. "Looking good handsome." Marceline cooed into Finn's ear playfully as she floated over his shoulder. The clear sphere on the wrist of the left arm protector caught Marceline's attention. "Hey Va-Mok, whats with the sphere like chamber in the armor?" Marceline asked in a curious manner. The demon let out an exhausted sigh, which perplexed Finn given the fact demons were immortal. The demon then answered the question with a business like tone. "This little sphere will contain the absorbed blood of the wearer and send it through the armor itself, coloring the engravings with the blood and activating the armors true effect of the citadel guardian's regeneration, be warned though mortal. It only works once a day and it won't bring you back to life. To fill it, twist it to the left and press it down." Finn did as Va-Mok instructed. He yelped and flinched as he felt a sharp pinch in his arm below the notch in the arm guard. All throughout this pain the clear sphere was slowly filling with a thick dark red liquid until the sphere seemed like a gem of blood. "Oh my Glob that's so cool; painful; but cool! Marcy what do you think?" When Finn asked this question he didn't get a response, so he looked over at Marceline to see her hypnotized by his blood, a line of drool at the corner of her mouth. He was confused, he was sure Marceline wasn't going feral, and she had resolved her issues with her vampire instincts. He snapped his fingers in front of her causing her to snap out of her haze and blush in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry, I guess our relationship has affected my blood lust towards you." This caused Finn a slight amount of worry, yet excitement as he began to daydream. He opened his eyes after a minute to see Marceline giving him a teasing smirk. "U-Um, anyway Va-Mok how would I use the blood now?" Finn asked in a stutter as he rushed to change the subject. "Well you simply twist it to the right and press it down. Thank you for the transaction vampire and mortal. Hope it will help in your fateful encounters." The demon then laughed before disappearing in a puff of smoke again, this time with his reward, leaving the two lovers alone, and Finn with a new piece of equipment. He smiled before giving Marceline a sudden hug that surprised her, remnants of her instincts rising slightly before her heart fluttered lightly as Finn kissed her. She blushed lightly and returned the kiss as she closed her eyes. The two lovers left in their own little world at that moment. "Thank you Marcy, I love you." Finn said after he broke the kiss. Marceline replied in a happy tone. "I love you too Finn, and your welcome."
A smile formed on a pale man's face. He was humanoid, only a year older looking than Finn. He had hair similar too Finn's except it was pitch black and was unkept and shorter. He had an armored pitch black trench coat without sleeves and a strange sheathed katana strapped to his hip, its features were hidden in a thick cloud of darkness. He had an average build and was six feet tall, his arms and legs were also more muscular than his average parts. Yet his eyes were his strangest trait. Violet eyes with a violet spiral vortex symbol in his pupils. He had a mystic, yet exhausted atmosphere around him. His world began to brighten with a blue hue as a navy blue ball of flame formed to his right in the abyss around him. He glared at it with a sense of hatred that was cold enough to freeze lava. "So you wish to aid the Forsaken One. How odd considering you're the deity of the very thing that human detests and fights against." The voice that came from the fire was a crazed, rough and high pitched masculine tone that was filled with malice and madness. The pale man spoke with a hiss towards the fire. "No matter what you say to me Cole, you won't change my decision. We Element Creators have gone too far. Sadly I saw that only after it was too late for me… After I became an Element Creator and destroyed everything in an outburst of rage and hatred towards all of you." He growled and clenched his teeth in disgust towards the Element Creator, and himself. The Element Creator know as Cole laughed maniacally before it spoke from the fire once more. "Oh yes I remember that Francis, the blood and screams were so exhilarating, I could just feel a climax coming from only watching the massacre! Tiny minds are so weak and fragile… I bet that boy's death will bring out the same look you had on the day your mother wa-" The voice was cut off as a black orb formed in the place where the fireball originally was. It was generating a mass amount of gravitational pull, even sucking in the light around it before flickering out of existence, leaving only Francis pointing his hand out with a pitch black magic circle with the spiral vortex symbol in the center towards the space where Cole's fireball was. Francis felt himself sink into a warm sea of sweet memories, but he knew the sea of memories was rougher and colder towards the end were the cruel memories he wish he had forgotten lied like leeches on his soul.
End Note: To those reading this chapter and waiting for "The Hero & The Bandit" chapters then don't fear, that is what I plan to work on next, two chapters is what I promise to release. Sorry everyone, but both stories need love, so I hope you understand. Hope you enjoyed reading and having fun with any theories you may have about the story so far. Your all lovely readers!
