Disclaimer I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.
The heroes enter the fortress as the doors closed behind them.
"Yeah this is definitely a trap." Said Finn.
"Lets go spring it so we can trap the trappers." Said Jake.
The heroes marched into a large room. As soon as they entered the doors slammed shut behind them. The room filled with evil laughter as Ricardio jumped from above and landed before the heroes.
"Hello heroes so glad you could come." Said Ricardio as he flexed his muscles.
"Enough talk, where are the prisoners?" Demanded Finn.
"Uh right to the point I see. Alright here are the prisoners." Said Ricardio as he pulled out a remote control and pushed a button.
Six clear spheres containing Lady Rainicorn, Jake Jr., Charlie, Kim Kil Whan, Viola, and T.V. floated out of a hole in that appeared in the ground. All of them appeared to be asleep.
"As you can see they are perfectly fine." Said Ricardio.
"Where are Betty and Princess Bubblegum?" Demanded Simon.
"Oh I don't have them. I believe my other comrades have them if you want to free the captives here and then the others, you must first defeat me and my comrades." Said Ricardio as he pressed another button on the remote and the spheres disappeared back into the hole. He then strapped the remote to his arm.
"Bring it on! Will beat you and then rescue the others!" Declared Finn.
"Oh I'm afraid you won't find us so easy to beat." Said Ricardio with a laugh.
There was a flash of light to Ricardio's left and Heart Beast and Evil Magician appeared. On Ricardio's right a cloud of black smoke appeared and out came Scorcher and Kee-Oth. The heroes looked at the villains and prepared to fight.
"Not only are you all out skilled, but I have devised a perfect battle strategy that will defeat you! I have matched each of you up with someone you can't defeat!" Laughed Ricardio.
"Will just see about that!" Shouted Finn.
The two groups charged at one another each hero fighting a villain. Finn fought against Ricardio, Jake fought against Kee-Oth, Flame Princess fought against Scorcher, Marceline fought against Evil Magican, and Simon fought against Heart Beat.
Finn charged at Ricardio swung one of his massive arms at Finn, who dodged the attack and punched Ricardio in the face. Ricardio staggered back as Finn leaped into the and launched a flying kick at Ricardio's face. The evil heart just grinned.
"You fell right into my trap!" He laughed as he caught Finn's leg and punched him hard in the face.
Ricardio lifted Finn up by his leg and slammed him into the ground four times! He then spun Finn around and threw him at a wall! Finn slammed into the wall with a crash and slid down it. Ricardio laughed in triumph.
"Finn!" Cried Jake as he tried to rush over to his friend's side.
"Oh not so fast dog! I'm not letting slip away from our fight!" Said Kee-Oth as he landed in front of Jake.
Jake tried to stretch around the demon, but Kee-Oth shot his clawed hand out and and grabbed Jake. He then took to the air and smashed Jake's head into the celling. Jake moaned as Kee-Oth released him and he fell to the ground. Kee-Oth laughed as he preformed an elbow drop on Jake and smashed him to the ground!
"Oh yeah! In your face dog! I'm all up in your face!" Laughed Kee-Oth as he kicked Jake into the wall next to Finn.
Flame Princess looked over and saw Finn and Jake lying on the ground. She desperately wanted to help them, but she was busy fighting Scorcher. She barely dodged a fireball thrown by the fire assassin. Flame Princess fired a fireball of her own at Scorcher. The assassin flipped over the fireball and charged at Flame Princess with one of his hands on fire looking like a blade. Flame Princess quickly conjured up a flame sword and blocked the attack. Scorcher kicked Flame Princess in the chest and sent her flying back. The assassin charged forward and Flame Princess fired a fireball at him. Just when the fireball was about to hit him burst into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.
"Did I get him?" Asked Flame Princess looking around in confusion.
Simon, who was dodging a blow from Heart Beast's glowing skeleton arm saw what happened.
"Be on your guard Flame Princess! That assassin is a sneaky snake with the power to turn into smoke!" Shouted Simon as he dodged another blow from Heart Beast.
Flame Princess looked around trying to locate the assassin. She failed to see a pillar of black smoke rise up behind her and turn into Scorcher. The assassin pulled out his flaming hand and slashed Flame Princess across her back! Flame Princess screamed as she stumbled forward a large scar appearing on her back. Scorcher grabbed Flame Princess and threw her into the wall next to Finn and Jake.
Marceline was locked in combat with Evil Magician. Marceline tried to charge at Evil Magician, but the villain kept her at bay by shooting lightning at her and forcing her to dodge. Evil Magician decided to change strategy by producing a purple mist that covered him and Marceline.
"Quit hiding you coward!" Shouted Marceline as she stumbled through the mist.
"Oh I'm not hiding. I'm over here." Called Evil Magician's voice from the left.
Marceline turned to see a dark shadowy shape to her left.
"No I'm over here." Called Evil Magician's from the right.
Marceline spun around to see another shadowy shape. She heard laughing come from every direction and was shocked to see more shadowy figures appear from every direction. Evil Magician's laugh seemed to be coming from everywhere. A blast of lightning slammed into Marceline from the right. Marceline staggered back. She quickly charged forward and slashed at several of the shadowy figures with her ax, only for them to turn into mist. A blast of lightning slammed into her from the left knocking her back a ways. Another lightning blast slammed into her from behind and sent her crashing into the wall with next to the other heroes.
"Pathetic vampire you thought you stood a chance against me? Don't make me laugh!" Said Evil Magician as the mist disappeared.
"Marceline!" Simon in panic for his daughter.
He tried to rush forward, but was forced to dodge another blow from Heart Beast. Simon fired a few ice balls at Heart Beast and knocked him back a little. Heart Beast changed tactics by swinging it's tentacle arm at Simon, who quickly conjured up an ice shield to protect himself. Instead of the tentacles hitting the shield they veered around it and slammed into Simon and knocked him to the ground. Heart Beast picked up Simon and threw him into the wall with the other heroes.
"Ha! All five of your are down already? That was faster then I calculated. And to think you five were some legendary heroes who were supposed to be capable of defeating Hexo. How ridiculous. I will finish you all off here and now!" Laughed Ricardio as he and his cohorts moved in on the heroes.
"This can't be how it ends! We need to change strategy here." Thought Simon as he looked around for a solution.
His eyes fell on a nearby hallway and he got an idea. He turned to Ricardio and the villains.
"You know for a guy, who claims to be so smart, you tend to be overconfident and dumb." Said Simon.
"What!" Shouted Ricardio angrily.
"If you were as smart as you claimed to be, you would have removed my crown making me no longer a threat." Said Simon as he blasted a bunch of snow into the villain's eyes and blinded them. "Come on everybody down this hallway I have a plan." Called Simon as he lead the other heroes down the hall.
"You annoying old man your going to pay for that!" Shouted Ricardio as he and the other villains chased after the heroes.
The chase ended at a dead end. It looked like the villains had the heroes cornered with no way out.
"Ha! It looks like your trapped!" Laughed Ricardio.
"Actually you fell for my trap." Said Simon as he created a rocket ship out of ice.
All the villains starred at it in confusion as Jake hopped to the front and turned his hands into giant plows. Simon, Finn, and Marceline jumped into the middle of the rocket, while Flame Princess hopped onto the back and let out a great burst of flame propelling the rocket forward! All the villains eyes widened in horror as they saw the rocket plow heading right towards them! They tried to run away, but they were scooped up by Jake's plow hands. The rocket raced back to the room, abruptly stopped, and sent the villains flying and crashing into a wall!
"Quick Marceline lets change dance partners!" Shouted Simon as he and Marceline jumped out of the rocket and charged at Heart Beast and Evil Magician.
Heart Beast slammed his skeleton fist at Marceline, but the vampire girl dodged the swing and flew up to Heart Beast swinging her ax. She brought it down on Heart Beast's front and a fountain of blood gushed out as Heart Beast screamed and fell over on the ground. In a few seconds he quite gushing blood and stopped moving.
Simon charged at Evil Magician, who was starting to conjure up a fog, but Simon blew it away with a gust of ice wind. Simon charged forward and punched Evil Magician making the villain stagger back. Simon then blasted him with a ice blast and sent Evil Magician flying through the air and landing next to the now dead Heart Beast.
"That's what you get for harming with my daughter." Said Simon as he glared at Evil Magician.
Evil Magician staggered to his feet breathing hard.
"I will not lose to you!" He screamed as he leaped through the hole in Heart Beast's body. "Behold the true terror of my power! Corpse Suit magic!"
A purple energy field covered the hole in Heart Beast's body as the corpse stood up. Evil Magician laughed from the the glowing energy field as Simon and Marceline starred at the Corpse Suit in horror.
"Feel my wrath!" Shouted Evil Magician as he shot lightning from Heart Beast's skeleton hand.
Marceline dodged it, while Simon created an ice shield and blocked the attack. Evil Magican kept bombarding Simon's shield trying to smash it. He failed to see Marceline land behind him and transform into her giant bat form. She grabbed the Corpse Suit from behind and stopped the lightning bombardment.
"Unhand me!" Screamed Evil Magician as he shot lightening through the corpse suit shocking Marceline, but she refused to let go.
Simon flew forward and blasted the Corpse Suit with a freezing blast turning it blue as it began to freeze. The lighting going through the Corpse Suit stopped. Marceline yanked the Corpse Suit's arms off and they crumbled into frozen chunks. The Corpse Suit staggered away from Marceline. Simon created a spear of ice and charged towards Evil Magician and the Corpse Suit.
"It's time to put an end to you!" Declared Simon as he smashed the spear through the energy field and into Evil Magician's chest!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Screamed Evil Magician in pain as the the Corpse Suit fell over onto it's back.
Evil Magician and the corpse of Heart Beast exploded into a burst of dark energy and vanished. Marceline turned back into her normal form and landed next to Simon. The two shared a brief hug. They fell to their knees tired.
"Good job." Said Simon.
"Thanks." Said Marceline.
All the other heroes and villains, had stopped fighting to watch the defeat of Evil Magician and Heart Beast. Ricardio just laughed.
"Congrats on your victory, but those two were the weakest members of our team. The remainder of us have more then enough energy to defeat you all." Said Ricardio as and his two remaining team mates staggered to their feet.
"Were going to beat you guys!" Shouted Finn as leaped forward and slammed his fist into Ricardio's face sending the evil heart stumbling back, knocking the remote from his arm strap, and making it slid across the floor.
Jake saw the remote and made a leap for it, but Kee-Oth flew in and grabbed it.
"HAHA! To slow dog!" Laughed Kee-Oth as he pressed a button on the remote and summoned the sphere containing Jake's wife and children. "Now I'm going to beat you, drain you of all your blood, and then I'm going to drain all your loved ones blood and make myself a styling wardrobe!"
"You leave my wife and pups alone you blood sucking nut job!" Shouted Jake as he shot his arm out for the remote.
Kee-Oth grabbed Jake's arm, dragged him forward, and slammed his fist into Jakes face. Kee-Oth slammed Jake into the ground and stomped on him.
"Dig yourself a grave dog, because that's where your going! Say goodbye to your blood and your loved ones, cause it's sucking time!" Laughed Kee-Oth as he opened his mouth and began sucking.
Jake felt the blood leaving his body. He felt himself growing weak. He looked over at his trapped loved ones. He heard his friends call his name. Jake had failed them all. Jake felt his world going dark and then he felt a great surge of energy go through him. Jake shoved Kee-Oth's foot off of him.
"WHAT THE FREAK!" Shouted a freaked out Kee-Oth as Jake slammed his fist into his face and sent the demon flying and smashing into a wall.
Jake stood up his body glowing gold. His body looked more muscular and he had a unicorn horn in the middle of his head. Kee-Oth pulled himself from the fall spitting out some blood and some broken teeth.
"Oh what, you...just cause your glowing and you got a new look you think you got a chance of winning! No chance man!" Shouted Kee-Oth as he threw a punch at Jake's face.
Jake caught the punch and punched Kee-Oth in the face knocking him to the ground. The demon staggered back looking really freaked out.
"Time bring to bring out the punching pain train!" Shouted Jake as both his arms stretched out and rained a storm of punches down on Kee-Oth!
Kee-Oth fell to the ground his body covered in bruises. One of his eyes was swollen and he was missing more of his teeth.
"Alright Kee-Oth it's time you cooled off. I have some nice holly water for you." Said Jake as as a pouch in his skin opened up and he pulled out a little plastic container of holly water.
"NO BRO!" Screamed Kee-Oth as he tried to crawl away.
Jake grabbed him and made him drink the holly water.
"OH NOT COOL MAN!" Cried Kee-Oth as his body expanded and exploded!
Jake changed back to his normal form. He looked down at himself confused.. He saw remote lying on the ground and picked it up and pressed the release button. Lady Rainicorn and the pups were freed. They started waking up. Jake ran over to them and started hugging them.
"Jake?" Asked a confused Lady Rainicorn.
"There there Lady. It's alright I'm here. There's nothing to worry about." Said Jake.
Ricardio who was fighting Finn, looked and saw the freed prisoners. His face broke out into absolute rage.
"INCONCEIVABLE! YOU INCOMPETENT MORNS ARE USELESS! YOUR RUINING MY PLAN!" Roared Ricardio in rage as he turned to Scorcher. "FINISH OFF FLAME PRINCESS NOW!" He ordered.
Scorcher nodded and charged at Flame Princess, who shot fireballs at the charging assassin. Scorcher leaped and dodged the attacks. He then turned into a cloud of black smoke and reappeared behind Flame Princess. He then slammed his fist into the back of Flame Princess's head and knocked her to the ground.
"Flame Princess!" Cried Finn.
"Say goodbye to your beloved princess!" Said Ricardio as he charged at Finn.
Finn leaped into the air and used Ricardio's face as a springboard to send Ricardio smashing into the ground and himself flying towards Scorcher and Flame Princess.
"Finn catch!" Shouted Simon as he created two ice gauntlets and threw them to Finn.
"Thanks!" Said Finn as he caught the ice gauntlets, put them on, and charged at Scorcher. "Get away from her you bandaged jerk!"" Shouted Finn as he slammed a fist into Scorcher and sent the assassin stumbling back.
Scorcher glared at Finn and swung a flaming fist at him. Finn dodged the swing and slammed a fist into Scorcher's chest. Scorcher threw a kick at Finn's legs knocking him to the ground. Scorcher then tried to smash a flaming fist at the down hero, but Finn quickly rolled out of the way and shot to his feet. Scorcher then turned into smoke and appeared behind Finn preparing to strike Finn in the back of the head with a flaming hand.
"Finn!" Cried Flame Princess her body glowing bright gold as she flung a golden fireball at Scorcher.
The fireball slammed into Scorcher and sent him flying into a wall. Finn stared at Flame Princess in amazement.
"Thanks." He said.
"Your welcome." Said Flame Princess.
Scorcher pulled himself out of the wall his eyes glowing with hate as he launched a enormous blast of dark red Princess countered with a burst of golden flames. The two burst of flames pushed against one another, neither fighter giving an inch.
Everybody watched the fight in amazement. Ricardio staggered to his feet and watched the fight. He started heading towards Flame Princess from behind.
"Time to shift the odds in our favor. Farewell princess." Said Ricardio as he raised his fist ready to slam them on top of Flame Princess.
"Never!" Shouted Finn as he sprung forward and tackled Ricardio.
The two of them crashed to the ground rolling. Finn ended up on top and proceeded to punch Ricardio several times. Ricardio angrily threw Finn off of himself and jumped to his feet. Finn jumped to his feet and pulled out his sword.
"I will crush you into dust!" Roared Ricardio as he swung his left fist at Finn.
Finn dodged out of the way and chopped Ricardio's arm off! Ricardio screamed, Finn ran forward and chopped off Ricardio's left leg! Ricardio fell to the ground screaming and sparking. Finn put his sword up, grabbed Ricardio, and picked him up.
"It's over Ricardio. I'm ending this fight." Said Finn.
"You...fools! You may...have beaten me, but you'll...never beat the others and Hexo!" Laughed Ricardio as he looked at Simon, Marceline, and then back at Finn. "You'll never...rescue your precious Betty or Princess Bubblegum!"
"Your wrong. We will rescue them and stop Hexo." Said Finn.
"You may have been magic that once brought a part of my body to life, but I'm nothing like you. I'm going to rescue Betty." Said Simon.
"Lets finish these creeps off." Said Marceline as grabbed Ricardio from Finn and threw him into the air.
Simon blasted Ricardio with a blast of cold wind and sent him flying towards Scorcher.
"CURSE YOU ALL!" Screamed Ricardio as he crashed into Scorcher.
The impact was enough to make Scorcher lose his focus and Flame Princess's flame blast slammed into him and Ricardio. The two villains became lost in the golden flames. The flames stopped as Flame Princess returned to her normal form. There was no sign of the two villains. Finn walked up to Flame Princess and gave her a little kiss.
"Good job. That was awesome." Said Finn.
"Thanks." Said Flame Princess as she blushed a little.
"We'll done heroes. Congratulations. You passed the first trial, but your quest is far from over." Called Icenn's voice.
"Come along, you don't want to keep us and the lovely captives waiting." Called Heinous's voice.
The heroes clenched their fist and gritted their teeth in anger at the villain's voice. Jake talked to his wife and pups.
"You all get out of here. I got to help everybody here rescue the others." Said Jake as he gave his wife and kids a hug and a kiss.
Lady Rainicorn nodded. All the pups leaped onto her back and she flew out of the room.
"Lets keep moving." Said Finn.
The heroes moved out of room and headed upstairs. As soon as they left a black cloud of smoke rose up and turned into Scorcher. His body was battered and bruised, but other then that he had survived. He pulled out a black orb and pressed it. A holographic image of StarSinister appeared.
"Good job Scorcher. I've received the latest information you sent me. It appears that Jake has discovered some kind of hidden power like Flame Princess. I want you to spy on the other heroes and see if they have hidden powers." Said StarSinister.
Scorcher nodded as the holographic image disappeared. Scorcher turned into smoke and followed the heroes.
To be continued.
