Chapter 12: A Hero's Life for the Life of the Woman He Loves

"So what must I do to bring Marceline back?" Finn asked.

"Follow me." Hudson said as he waved his hand and opened a portal to the Nightoshpere.

(Finn followed Hudson into the portal and when he exited the portal he found himself in Hudson's throne room.)

"This way." Hudson said was he moved his throne to revile a dark passage way.

"Finn you must go alone though this pathway but before you go I must tell you something." Hudson said.

"What is it?" Finn asked.

"This pathway leads to someone who can help you but one the way there you will have to pass many dangerous obstacles and other such things." Hudson said.

"So I have gotten though the toughest dungeons in Ooo." Finn said proudly.

"DON'T BE SO COCKY BOY THE MAN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS ONE OF THE ANCIENT BEINGS WHO EXISTED LONG BEFORE TIME BEGAN AND IT WILL NOT BE EASY TO GET TO HIM." Hudson yelled.

"So it can't be that hard." Finn said.

"It is I tried over 50 years ago to try and bring my wife back and I failed at the first obstacle." Hudson said.

"Ok I understand." Finn said as he walked into the darkness.

"Good luck Finn." Hudson said as Finn disappeared into the darkness.

(Finn walked into total darkness until he saw a light at the end of the tunnel.)

(Finn walked into the light and saw a room filled with lava and a ledge about 100 feet across him.)

Finn looked down to see a sign it said: Ye who is without fear have faith and step into the fire. (Beware should ye show fear ye shall burn to death.)

(Finn stepped into the lava and walked calmly without fear and felt a warm feeling as the lava surrounded him but to his surprise it didn't not burn, Finn continued to walk until he got to the end and saw the next door.)

(Finn looked at the door and opened it and walked into the darkness.)

(Finn walked into the room and saw a face he thought he would never see again.)

(It was death himself standing before Finn.)

"Finn to pass this test all you must do is make it to the door without me touching you." Death said with a evil grin.

"Seems easy." Finn said.

(With an evil smile death snapped his fingers and spikes, fire, and arrows appear.)

(Finn looked at Death and then began to run straight for the door.)

Death smiled and said "let the games begin."

(Death took off at a super-fast speed and began to chase Finn.)

(Finn jumped the spikes and slid under the arrows and leapt the flames.)

(Death caught up to Finn and was just about to touch him when Finn jumped up and spin kicked death's Skull straight off.)

(Finn runs to the door and opens it and walks though it.)

(Finn walks into the room to see it's a very huge square room and in the middle a huge black shadow sits in the middle on a pentagon with five points.)

(Finn walks up to see billions of chains holding the creature in place.)

"HEY CAN YOU HELP ME?" Finn yells.

The beast turns its head and looks down and says. "yes I can but I wish to know your name beforehand."

"I am Finn The Human." Finn says.

"Allow me to introduce myself I am Lucifer." The beast says.

"So Lucifer can you help me bring back the woman I love?" Finn says.

"Yes but it comes at a great price." Lucifer says.

"Whatever the price is I will pay it." Finn says.

"Even if it costs you your very soul?" Lucifer asks.

"Yes I don't care I will do anything for her." Finn said.

"Very well I admire your heart and bravery so I shall help you." Lucifer said with a smile.

"You promise?" Finn asked.

"You have my word." Lucifer said.

(With that said Lucifer spoke some unknown words and Finn felt his body go cold and he fell to the floor and his body was engulfed in a white light and then pulled into Lucifer.)

"Finn you shall remain with me for all eternity" Lucifer said.

~meanwhile In Hudson's throne room~

(Marceline's ashes began to stir and blow in the wind until they began the from the shape of a girl.)

(The ashes began to harden into bones and then her body began to take form until Marceline appeared before her father.)

"Marceline my daughter I'm so glad your back." Hudson said as he ran up to her and hugged her.

"Daddy where is Annabel?" Marceline asked.

(Hudson snapped his fingers and the baby appeared then Hudson handed her to Marceline.)

"Where's Finn?" Marceline asked.

Hudson looked down and said. "He gave his life so that you could live again."

"Noooo!" Marceline screamed as she fell to her knees and began to sob.

Hudson picked her and up and said. "you have to be strong for Annabel.."

"Ok then I will raise her to remember her father was a true hero and a real man." Marceline said.
