Good Job. Enjoy.
"So we are all royalty?" Asked Finn. "Yup." Responded Jason. "So besides you wanting to fight Finn-" James was cut off by Jason, "I didn't WANT to I was TOLD to. I was just following orders. Against my will I might add." "What do you mean 'against your will'?" James asked, Finn about to ask the same question. "Well, dad can kinda control my mind sometimes. It's a long and very boring story but he made me fight you and he had to do that because I didn't want to." "Why didn't you want to fight me?" Finn asked
Jason chuckled a little, "I thought you'd fight like a pussy ass bitch who was still crying about that pink whore and brotherly love. I wouldn't want to hurt my little brother." He said in a joking mushy voice. They all shared a laugh, "Yeah and look how that turned out for you." Said James, causing them all to laugh even harder. "So when we going to visit?" asked James. "What are you talking about?" Jason asked. "You know its rude to respond to a question with a question. Jackass." Finn said. James chuckled as Finn was being scolded by Jason. "So when are we going? I'm guessing "dad"," James said making finger quotes around the word dad, "sent you to fight Finn to see if he was ready to come "home"." He finished, also adding finger quotes to the word home. "How'd you know that?" Jason asked.
"I was just guessing it was a rite of passage kind of thing." James told him. "Good guess." James said, congratulating his brother. "Wait, what about James. Did he send you after him too?" Asked Finn. "Fortunately for my FACE, no. We could never get a good track on him since he was always moving." Jason responded. "Well that's all fine and dandy but it doesn't answer my question. When are we going?" James asked a little frustrated with his lack of answers.
"You two aren't going to the Nightwalker Kingdom. You guys are happy here. Finn, you think he will be as forgiving as James or I have been to Marceline? Our father is not immortal, but he has been around two thousand years. He lived through the Great Mushroom War and before it. He had a wife and family then and they all died and he couldn't save them. He actually WATCHED them all die from suffocation from the polluted air, to the heat from the explosion, from the radiation poisoning them, from the explosion launching debris through the house like bullets. He lost a wife, four daughters, seven sons, and nine grandchildren. He had a nice large home on an open spacious plot of land where twenty three of them lived happily, until that day. Eleven siblings, four nieces, and five nephews, of ours died. I don't care if we would have only been half related. I would have liked to have known them, or at least their however many grandchildren it would be up to by our birth. And to make things worse she's a vampire. Before the Nightwalkers joined with the Demons, the Nightwalkers had a bloody war with the vampires. It made them so weak that they had no choice but to push the merging of the two kingdom about fifty years ahead of schedule. You don't want to go there Finn. Neither do you James. Who do you think tried to finish off the Nightwalker's after both them and the demons armies were too weak to fight off anything. It was the assassins. They had been getting contracts on some rather evil people from the Nightwalker Kingdom after the separation of itself and the Demon Kingdom, but our father wouldn't let them in and when we were two weak fend them off anymore, they attacked. All of them. A few thousand of us were able to escape. That sounds like plenty to escape but before them, we numbered at two million," tears were flowing strongly from his eyes at this point, "and before the war we numbered at 350 million people. The demons numbered at 347 million before the war, and left with just over a million. I saw the battlefield, and it is still littered with bodies. So long after too. We have rebuilt just as the demons have and the war will restart; only the ending will be different. We will win. But it doesn't change the fact that no matter who you are, no matter who you're related to, or what you've done, you will be hate and attempts will be mad on your life because of your affiliations."
There was a moment of silence. It was broken when Finn said something so intelligent it rocked the fabric of the universe, "So?" Jason looked at his brother, his mouth agape by the utter stupidity he was capable of. "We can take care of ourselves. Plus he's a master assassin and I'm a 4-in-1 outlet. A supercharged outlet. A badass, supercharged outlet. A sexy, badass, supercharged outlet." James and Jason were both laughing at how serious Finn sounded when he said that, even though they knew he was kidding. (Everyone reading this, the next part may end up effecting the story.) Finn actually thought the opposite of himself. His emotional and mental wounds he had suffered throughout his whole life healed, but just because a scar doesn't show, doesn't mean it's not there. Those scars ha eventually linked themselves to his physical one. Each one just a reminder of a time he felt helpless or wasn't strong enough, or let someone get the jump on him, or just failed for a second. It didn't matter anymore, they all hurt one way or another, but he never let that show. Just hid it with a smile or anger whenever he had the chance, snapping quickly and having a short fuse. He didn't like it, but in arguments he would go into defensive modes and would say things he didn't mean.
When his brothers stopped laughing they got serious again. "How will he even know about Marceline?" Finn questioned. "Well, since you have, or had, such a high status in Ooo, I don't know what it is now but, because of your status, people were wondering who you'd end up with. Eventually their curiosity got so strong that people, kinda, may have, sort of, made a pool." Jason told him. "What?" Finn responded flabbergasted (Yup it's a word). "Yeah, people have been betting for….., let's see if you're 17 and it started in Ooo when you were 13," Finn was shocked. He was wondering how large the pot could be. "And in the Nightwalker kingdom, it started when you were 14. And for each pot for who people you thought you would end up with, there was another pot for who they wanted you to end up with. Usually they voted the same for each so if they were right they really cashed out."
Finn chuckled, "How did the Nightwalker Kingdom even know about any possible interests I could have?" "My interest were very detailed and weren't kept secret from the growing public." Jason said. "So who did dad wager on?" asked James. "That one was weird, on the who you hope you would end up with pot, he bet on that Susan Strong girl." Finn pondered that for a moment, he would never. "And what about who it would be?" asked James. "He bet on Marceline." Finn raised in eyebrow in question and a sly smile rose across the face of James. "Smart man." Commented James.
"Wait before we go any further, I just realized something." Said James. "What?" asked Jason. "When you were telling us about the war and what not, whenever you were talking about the Nightwalker's you said 'we'. 'We will win this time', 'we have rebuilt'. Why?" Jason smiled, "I forgot to tell you about that. Our mother was, like one eighth Nightwalker or something like that. And the rest was something called, Irish. Apparently they, and the Americans I believe they were called, were the badasses of the world before The Great Mushroom War." Jason told them. "Explains why we are such badasses." Stated James. The brothers laughed, "So how about we head over next week?' Finn suggested. "Yeah." Agreed James. "You guys are stubborn asses. You know that?" Jason said to them, annoyed by their persistence. "I'm taking that your giving in and the three of us are going to the Nightwalker Kingdom." James so boldly stated. "Rub it in why don't you." "Don't worry we both will." Said Finn.
Just as the three brothers were about to go join some of their friends a messenger ran up to them out of breath. "Sirs…. your…. presence's…. have been… requested by…. the king….. of the mountain kingdom." He said between breathes. "Whoa, calm it down there buddy. Catch your breath and explain the situation." James told him. After a few moments, the man recomposed himself and stood up straight, "Thank you sir. A war has broken out between the Fire Kingdom," his mention of them made Finn angry but he said nothing, "and the People of the Water Kingdom and we the people of the Mountain kingdom are caught in the cross fire. We have sent messengers to deliver a request to both kingdoms for them to move their fight, but they either refuse or send back the decapitated remains of our messengers. We gave up on asking and thought that the former Hero of Ooo and his brothers could help us." "I'm in as long as I don't have to help any citizen of the Fire Kingdom." Finn said to the man. "No sir, we'd prefer you hurt them both as much as possible." A smile broke across Finn's face, "Then I'm in." "Me too." Said James. The two battle ready brother looked to the third to see if he would be joining in their war games. "Sounds fun." Jason said after a moment. "Plus it's on our way to the Nightwalker Kingdom."
"Good. Tell your king we will be in the fight tomorrow night and that it won't be long till it's over." Finn told the messenger. "Thank you sir. Glob bless you." "It's God a-hole. Now go." Finn told the man, and without another word he was running back to deliver the message. "Now, we all have to go pack and I have a vampire girlfriend that is probably going to be a little pissed at me." Said Finn. "Agreed." Declared James and Jason at the same time. James and Jason went to James's house in the Candy Kingdom to prepare and Finn went to Marceline's.
When he got home Marceline zipped through the air and tackled him with a huge hug. Before he could even say hi her lips were locked directly on his and he loved every moment. She laid on top of him pressing his body into the hard cave floor below, but he didn't care. He loved the warmth that her cold body made him feel. After a moment she parted from him and slowly began floating higher into the air, her eyes closed and a soft smile on her face.
"What was that for?" Finn asked, the same smile on his face. "I have no idea. Something came over me and I couldn't control myself." She responded softly. "Well, I guess it's almost time for tier 15." Finn Whispered to her. She floated down so she was upright behind him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, "How about now?" she whispered seductively in his ear. He groaned unhappily, "I can't." he said sadly.
"Why not?" she asked angrily with a look of worry on her face. "Whoa, calm down Marcy. It's not why you think." He told her, instantly knowing that she thought he was either leaving her, or cheating. "Then why?" she just asked sadly. "My brothers and I are leaving to end a war tomorrow. After were done there, we're going to the Nightwalker kingdom to visit our dad, the king of the kingdom." She was in shock and she felt bad about what she was thinking. He would never do that and she knew it, she just jumped to a conclusion without thinking about who she was talking to. "SO how long will you be gone Finny?" "About a month. Maybe a little longer." Her sad expression saddened even more. "That's to long." She said as she gripped him in a tight embrace.
No matter how big and strong he got, a tight hug from her would always be able to crush him. He quickly returned his embrace as much as he could through her bear like grip. "Marceline?" "Yeah?" "As much as I'm enjoying this, you're killing me." She quickly let go and floated back a few steps worth of space. She looked down out of embarrassment, a deep blush on her face.
Finn walked over and laced his arms through hers, wrapping them around her small petite frame. He pulled her into his large chest, which was met by her rather large chest (If ya know what I mean :p). He grabbed her hand, which was small compared his bear paw of a hand, "Come on." He said. "Let's go inside." Pulled her inside and put her down on the couch and told her to wait while he took a minute to pack. When he returned he threw a bag next to the couch and inserted Heat Signature 7 into the DVD player, then finally sat down next Marceline.
They watched the movie for about an hour till they passed out in each other's arms. When they woke up, Finn grabbed his bag and he and Marceline went to his brothers and his meeting spot. It was a sad farewell till his return. Marceline wanted him back before he was even out of her sight. She hated watching people leave, a lot of the time she never saw them again.
(1 month and 2 weeks later)
Marceline was where she watched, Finn and his brothers leave. It was about one in the afternoon. It was a bright sunny day with a few small white clouds in the sky. She had been going there every day and waited till the sun was gone and there was no longer any chance of him returning that night. She had stood there just watching and waiting with her umbrella to protect her from the sun for 3 weeks. She had been getting more and more worried, until on this day she saw two figures appear on the horizon.
As they got closer, they looked more familiar until she saw who it was, but the sight didn't put her worries to rest. She saw James and Jason walking in very nice clothing; James was twirling a crown on his index finger and Jason had a similar crown connected to a belt loop on his nice denim blue jeans. When they were close enough to talk, Marceline wasted no time with pleasantries, "Where's Finn?" Her voice was riddled with fear and worry "Is he…?" She didn't want to finish that sentence. She couldn't if she wanted to.
"Well hello to you too." James said sarcastically. "How are you? I'm good too. How's things been? Good. Oh, our trip was great. The war was nothing. Our dads kingdom is nice too. We got these nice crowns." James continued, mocking Marceline's lack of pleasantries and caring about the two guys that, if things remained good, were going to become her brother-in-laws. "Come on James. She's just worried because she is clearly in love with him." Marceline's face became twisted with embarrassment and anger at the dissection of her feelings. "Don't worry he's fine. A few days before we left the Nightwalker Kingdom he got a letter. And it wasn't from some girl, if that puts any fears to rest. It was from a source of his. He's been looking for something since he came back and it's been found. He's going to retrieve it. It means something to him." He was going to continue till he saw how mad Marceline looked.
"He's going to get it when he gets back." Marceline said. "Calm down. He said he was only going to get before coming back because its location was close to the kingdom and it would be easier and faster than coming back and then going to get it." Jason told her. "I don't care." She said and then floated away. "He is so screwed." Stated James. "That's putting it lightly." Said Jason.
(8 days later)
Marceline was waiting in the same spot she had been in since Finn left. She was enraged and was going to really give it to him when he got back and it as go time. The day was not as it was when his brothers had appeared. Dark grey clouds loomed menacingly overhead. He appeared on the horizon, just as his brothers had, a pitch black silhouette. When he as close enough to see his features, she saw his shirt was torn with what looked like claw marks, and was barely holding together. The cuts on his chest would definitely scar something Marceline knew he would hate.
Running down his arms and off his hands were long river of dried and crusted blood. It was also in his hair. His light blue faded denim jeans had the same claw marks but were in better condition and were holding together better than his shirt, but none of that removed the smile on his face that grew larger when he saw Marceline waiting for him.
He walked up to hug her, but was met with her fist crashing into his face. After he regained his composure after stumbling back a step he spoke, "Ok, I guess I deserved that." YOU GUESS?" Marceline yelled as she punched him in the face again. He stood up tall not turning his head back to face her. He put his hand to his mouth. When he pulled his hand away, he saw he was bleeding a good amount from his mouth.
Before anything else happened, James, Jason, PB, and Jake began watching the events unfold. Shocked they stared wide eyed and worried. They all knew a fight between these two could be like a second Mushroom War.
"Now you're getting me mad." Finn said with an eerie calmness in his voice . "I'M GETTING YOU MAD?" Marceline yelled. "Yeah. You are. I had to go get something important." He replied in the same tone. "Oh really? What did you have to go get?" she asked in a mocking baby voice. Finn's eyes narrowed, his patience was beginning to run thin. "I went to g-" he was cut off by Marceline, "You know what I don't care." She said angrily as she brought her fist forward to punching him again.
Finn's face turned into an angry snarl, teeth bared, like a rabid wolf. "Don't give me that look." Marceline commanded as she brought her fist forward to punch him again, but he caught her fist a few centimeters from his face. He bent her wrist back causing her much pains as she fell to her knees, making him look like a mighty oak next to a little sapling. He threw her by her hand a few feet away and slung his bag around so he could rummage through it. He pulled something out of the bag and turned to begin walking away. Marceline sprang up and flew at him at full speed.
Finn just side stepped slightly, caught and flipped her, causing her to crash into the ground hard. He took a few more steps, moving away from her before throwing the object at her, "That's what I went to get.' He said as he continued walking again. Marceline looked at the object and her eyes widened and a tear formed on her face. "FINN." She yelled as she flew to try and catch him, sorry for what she had done. Before she could get to him, a black, red, and blue lightning bolt struck from the sky and collided with Finn. It was so bright Marceline had to shield her eyes and so strong it blew her away. The bolt was disappeared as quickly as it had appeared; only it had taken Finn with it.
Marceline was in tears, broken. She was mad at Finn for bringing back her, at one time, only friend Hambo back to her. She felt so sad as the sky opened up and the rain fell from far up above. James walked over and picked her up bridal style and brought her home.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Lol review everyone. I need minimum amounts of reviews now to sustain my life force. Jk but I WANT MORE.
