Finn made his way down the narrow hallway as he tried to navigate his way out of the building. The building itself had many intersecting corridors which made it difficult for him to find an exit. As he made his way down he heard sobbing come from down the hallway. He found Isabel sitting down in the middle of the hallway with a bloody bone-saw resting next to her. Just by looking at it he could already tell what she did to Travis. It didn't take a genius to figure it out. Finn then slowly approached her. She quickly grabbed the bone-saw and stood up. She then pointed it at him. Once her eyes met his she instantly dropped the bone-saw. She fell against the wall and slid down to the floor. Finn came closer to her and sat down right next to her. She looked over at him as she began to shake.

"She's not here, Finn. It was all a lie." She spoke solemnly

Finn wrapped his arms around her and brought her in for a hug.

"You'll find your sister one day. It might not be today or tomorrow but you'll find her someday." He assured her

"And what if I don't, Finn? What if I never find her?"

"Don't talk like that. You'll find her."

Isabel sniffled and broke away from the hug.

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, I do."

Shouts and running could be heard off in the distance. The other slavers were coming after them.

"We have to go. They're looking for us."

Finn stood up and offered her his hand. She looked up at him and took his hand. He pulled her up and looked down the hallway. The doctor appeared in front of them. He was holding Finn's green back pack and katana. He offered them to him and Finn took them.

"You must leave now. They know you two are responsible for Travis' death."

"But what about you?" Isabel asked

"I'll be fine. You two won't be though if you stay." He replied

"Where's the nearest exit?" Finn asked him

"I'll lead you to it." He said

The doctor then turned around and started running down the corridor. Finn grabbed Isabel's hand and followed suit. After several minutes of running they came across a metal door at the end of a hallway. The doctor opened it and revealed the wilderness outside. Finn and Isabel stepped outside and let go of each other's hands.

"Finn, I want you to take care of Isabel." He told him

"Yeah." Finn told him

The doctor stayed at the door as Finn and Isabel kept running. The two quickly noticed that the doctor was not following them.

"C'mon, Doc! What are you waiting for?" Finn asked him

"I'm afraid that this is as far as I can go."

"What?!" Isabel shouted

"Go and find your sister, Isabela."

"I can't just leave you!" She shouted

"Do not argue with me! Now go!" The doctor shouted at her

"But!"

"Go!"

Finn grabbed Isabel and pulled her away. The doctor then slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Let me go! Finn, let me go!" She yelled at him

"I can't let you go back!" He told her firmly

Finn continued running as he carried her bridal style.

"We can't just leave him!" Isabel yelled on the verge of tears

Isabel pushed herself off of him and started running back. Finn quickly chased after her.

"Isabel, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm going back for him!"

Finn caught up with her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Stop! Let me go!" She screamed

"Isabel stop!" Finn said as he held on to her more tightly and didn't budge.

She kept on squirming, desperately trying to find a way to break free of his grip. She then turned into a liquid and slipped out of his grip. She then manifested herself as a humanoid again and kept running. The iron door leading back into the building was only ten feet away. As she approached it she felt a hard chop against the back of her neck and fell. Then everything went black.

Several hours later..

The crackling of a fire was all that was heard as Finn laid down next to a small bonfire that he built. An unconscious Isabel was laying there as well. He looked over and saw a worried expression on her face. A sad one. He could feel the sadness emanating from her like an odor. It felt contagious and he felt like he was being infected. In other words, her sadness was starting to become his.

The moon was full tonight. The pale moonlight was glossing the land over with a dim shade of light.

As Finn laid there his eyelids were starting to become heavier. He then sighed and closed his eyes. Sleep soon overtook him.

Finn slowly opened his eyes and saw that everything around him had changed. The sky was a dark purple and boomed with thunder. He rose up from the floor and noticed Isabel was no longer anywhere near him. He stood up and looked at the scenery around him. He was standing on a giant chunk of earth that was floating in midair. Out in the distance were other pieces of land with trees and decayed buildings on them. Things were quite off here and Finn was curious as to where he was right now because it certainly didn't seem like he was in the old forest from last night. He made his way to the edge of the chunk he was on and looked down below. He was shocked by what he was met with. It was complete and utter nothingness. Finn backed away from the edge and started to hear voices around him.

"Seconds.. centuries.. they pass like the wind and drift away into oblivion. We are the end and the beginning. The past and the future. We are all children of The Void."

"Who's there?" He said

He got no response. Finn then saw a piece of ground form several yards below him. On that piece of ground he saw a pale, black-haired man standing on top of it. Finn walked to the edge and jumped on to the piece of earth below. The man looked at him.

"Hello, Finn. I've been expecting you for a while now. I have been watching you and I have to say you are quite the interesting individual." The man told him

"Who are you?" Finn asked the man

"Now I know you must have a lot of questions for me so I'll answer what I can. My name is Garrett and you are in a place known as The Void. I have brought you here to warn you of events that will transpire in your realm." Garrett explained

"Events? What events?" Finn asked

"War."

"That can't be true. Ooo's entered a new era of peace. So how would there be war?" Finn replied

"It will not be from outer forces but rather from the inside." Garrett said

"The Kingdoms." Finn muttered to himself

"Yes."

"So you're telling me one of the kingdoms is going to declare war."

"War is approaching the land of Ooo and you will be in the midst of it. People you know will be involved and you will be forced to choose a side. But that is only the beginning." Garrett explained

"What do you mean it's only the beginning?" Finn asked

"Enough. I've already told you more than what I should have. Now it is time I prepare you for it."

Finn could feel a sensation fill his left arm. He looked over and saw strange dark purple rune markings begin to cover his left arm and wrist. He then began to levitate into the air.

"Now I won't lie to you. This is going to hurt."

"Garrett, what're you doing?!"

"Helping you."

"Wait a min-!"

He was cut off as a blinding pain filled his entire body.

"AHHHH!"

He screamed as an intense pain burned into his very being. His insides felt like they were on fire. A purple aura surrounded him as he squirmed around in the air. All the scars on Finn's body reopened and begun to bleed. Finn yelled even louder. He quickly panted as he tried to ignore the pain. His vision began dimming in and out slowly as he began to lose consciousness. Then suddenly the pain stopped and he dropped to the ground. The rune markings lost their purple hue and turned black.

"May the best of luck befall you, mortal." Garrett's voice echoed

Finn awoken with a gasp. He felt his head began to spin. He looked up and saw that the sun was high in the sky. He looked over and saw that Isabel was still asleep.

"That was one hell of a dream." He said to himself

He then felt a stinging sensation in his arm. He glanced down at his left arm and noticed that a black rune pattern was tattooed on to it.

A/N: Hello again. I hope you found this chapter interesting. The reason being is because the talk of war is going to drastically change this story's tone and direction. There will be situations and issues that Finn will be forced to deal with and I'm thinking of making this story a bit interactive. For example, let's say if Finn has to choose between options A, B, C, and D, then you guys can help him choose. The choices chosen will affect the story. If there is a choice to be made then you guys will have a certain amount of days to help Finn make that choice. If any choice is a tie then I will choose what I think is the best option. So once again, if you guys want that interactive decision making then please say so in a review.

Now time for some news. I have recently gotten a job so updating will be even more sketchy now. That doesn't mean that this story is going to die. It just means that it will take more time to write now that I have a job.

Thank you for reading and don't forget to leave a review!
