A/N: Big thanks to All The Elements Of Fire for their first review on my story and Haziq47 for their encouragment. Trust me; getting positive reviews make me really happy and excited and more enthusiastic to write. Now, apparently, the scene changers I used last chapter are FROWNED UPON IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT! So, I'm changing that. I'll stop ranting now and get on with the story!

Chapter 2

Before Jimmy could relish in the warm feeling, Fionna said, "Wait, I never told you my name!"

He gave a deadpan look, "Different dimension where you're all a TV show, remember? I know basically everything about y'all."

The adventuress mouthed 'oh' before Gumball busted into the room once more, "Everyone to my lab! James, this is something you're going to want to see!"

As everyone walked swiftly down the long candy hall to the Gumball's laboratory, the prince spoke to Jimmy, "It's incredible. I've never seen something like this in anything! You, sir, are extremely lucky to be alive."

When the gang arrived, there was a large screen projected from a holo-stone that was connected to a high-power microscope. The screen showed multiple cells that were normally shaped and structured, but the coloration was very off; it was mainly black, with traces of red and gold glowing from within. Gumball motioned for them to come to the microscope, "See this?" he pointed to the small glass panel under the lens of the equipment, "This is the sample of his skin I cut about five minutes ago. Now, no matter what species one is, when a piece of tissue is cut from the body, the cells that compose it are supposed to die. However, when I put it under the microscope, the cells are both distorted in color and alive."

He put a pink finger to his chin as he glanced into the scope of the machine and spoke again. "James, please step over to this side of the microscope."

Jimmy did as he was instructed and received a startled gasp, "The cells are gravitating towards you!"

"No way!" the brunet said, pushing his way past the candy prince, accidentally knocking the glass panel off and shattering it on the table.

The once piece of skin had now turned in a mass of goop that had the same coloring as the cells. The mass, now free from the glass, latched onto Jimmy and assimilated into his body. It turned his body the same black, red, and golden coloration for a short time. When his body's color became normal again, he was wide-eyed with shock. 'What… just happened?' he thought, 'Wait…'

Then, it became clear.

He remembered the beaker labeled 'BLACKLIGHT', the bright crimson and gold veins and design on his arms and back. Then, what had just transpired; he had it now! "I have the BLACKLIGHT Virus," he murmured.

Shock turned to joy and joy turned to giddiness. He giggled merrily, "I have the BLACKLIGHT Virus! Man, what should I try first; claws? No; the Whipfist! Nah, I definitely need to try Swordarm first-"

Gumball stepped forward and took on a stern tone, "You aren't going to 'try out' anything. We have to keep you quarantined so you can't infect any citizens, or worse, Fionna."

"What?!" Jimmy yelled, "That's bullcra—I mean, bulldonk!"

Fionna looked at the other human, "Hey, try to keep the language down in front of the prince!"

"Screw that! I know that I can't infect anybody unless I will it, PG."

"I'm sorry, James, but I can't run the risk of having you infect my Candy People," he said with a sympathetic look.

The brunet immediately retaliated, "Shut it! Don't even call me that anymore. All I do now is infect to you! Just call me Inficere… It's Latin for 'to infect'."

Inficere, as he dubbed himself, then turned and sped out the lab doors and down the hallway at an inhuman speed. As he ran out of the Kingdom through the night air, crimson and gold streaks coming from the veins and design on his body, he thought about where to go…

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" the candy prince exclaimed as he watched Inficere leave the city, "What have I done?! I've released a human infected with the most potent virus in the known world upon Aaa!"

Fionna glared at him with her arms crossed, "First you jack up the last human other than me left with some virus, not knowing if he'd die or whatever, then you tell him to his face, that you're going to lock him up! That's, like… three levels of messed up!"

"I know… I should've trusted him when he said he couldn't infect anyone unless he wanted," Gumball said, his head hanging down.

The candy prince walked over to the holo-stone and pulled up the recording of Inficere's cells, "Odd; the cells are underneath the coating of the virus—that's it! BLACKLIGHT has enhanced all of his emotions. But, it enhances anger, greed, and jealousy a lot more than the others! That's why he was so presumptuous and angry!"

"Mm-hm, I get it. That virus-thing is jackin' his emotions up," Cake said.

Gumball looked at Fionna with a serious glint in his eyes, "Fionna, you and Cake must bring back James-… Inficere so I may apologize for my rashness."

"Right," Fionna said, "You can count on me and Cake!"

With that, Cake grew from bobcat-size to 10 times that size and busted out the balcony in search of Inficere.

He didn't know where he was running to, but all Inficere knew was he'd made a mistake; a big one. He let his emotions take over for a reason he didn't even know. But he did know he couldn't go back to the Candy Kingdom or even to Fionna and Cake. He regretted doing what he did, 'But, what's done is done, I suppose...' he thought as he continued to run at the inhuman speed that BLACKLIGHT allowed him to possess. Before he could mull over where to go, he noticed he felt cold.

He stopped in his tracks, sliding on the ground a bit, to look forward and see the Ice Kingdom. He shivered in the cold, feeling a bit tired and lethargic for a strange reason. Nevertheless, he pressed on into the snow, hoping to find the Ice Castle. He noticed the Virus was spreading over his shirt, slowly but surely. "Hey! This is my favorite shirt!" he exclaimed through his shivering.

The Virus immediately retracted under his shirt and back into his skin. He smirked a bit as he thought, 'Oh, yeah. I have control over what it does to me. I'm just biomass now. Well, my clothes aren't.' A little more than an hour after that thought had crossed his mind, he finally realized he was walking slower and slower until he'd stopped completely. He panicked, 'Huh? Why won't my body move?! What's happening? I'll die if I don't keep my body moving!' The longer he wouldn't move, the more scared he got and the fuzzier his vision got.

Soon, he'd fallen to his knees and was both fuzzy in his vision and in his mind, barely was he able to form a coherent thought. The last thing he saw was something blue and white flying towards him.

Then, he fell to unconsciousness.

At first, it seemed a pretty normal day for the Ice Queen. She woke up from a cold night's sleep, got cleaned up and dressed, and came up with new ways to sneak in and steal her "on-again-off-again BF", Prince Gumball. She was just coming out of her bathroom from brushing her teeth when she sensed something disturbing her snow near the Grasslands Border. She immediately took to the air and out through the balcony. As she was flying, she noticed the disturbance was slowing down.

When it came into sight, she realized it was on its knees and hugging itself. 'Peculiar…' she thought to herself. But, before she could reach whatever it was, it fell face-first into the snow, unconscious. Only when she landed in front of it did she realize it was a he; and that he was a human! He had sickly pale skin, but vibrant chocolate brown hair, and very odd clothing; dark blue denim pants—'jeans I think they're called…' –, thick, red and gold veins that trailed up his arms, under his shirt, and to his back, creating what looked to be a dragon-like design, and, upon turning him over, a black t-shirt with a beam of light going through a triangular prism to make a rainbow on the other side.

She was trying to figure out who he is when the Tiara whispered to her, "I bet he's a prince~…"

'I seriously doubt it,' thought the queen, 'I mean, usually princes stay away from here, remember?' The Tiara retorted, "Look at his clothing, my Queen. Surely he must be a prince!"

Ice Queen thought about this for a moment before thinking back to her Tiara, 'It does make sense …and don't call me Shirley.'* Both the object and the queen cackled at that before picking up the human and taking off to the Ice Castle. When she'd arrived back at her icy home, she was immediately interrogated by a "wenk" that caused her to look down at the penguin yanking at the hem of her dress. "Not now, Gertrude; Mommy has a new guest," Ice Queen told Gertrude, who merely gave a huff and slid away.

All the while, the Tiara was analyzing the assumed prince in its queen's arms, 'Those strange veins on his arms and the design on his back are vaguely familiar… Wait!' The marks in question were now dimming and it sparked an idea, "My Queen, if I am correct, this human is not a regular one; he needs heat or he is going to die. See how his marks dim?"

'I understand; I suppose I shall set him in my room until he wakes and build a fire in the room as well,' she told the Tiara. So, she placed him in her own bed, however, she bound him to the bedposts that he could not run away when he awoke. Then, she set a large fire in the middle of the room so it could heat up the room quickly. She then left the room to await his return to the land of the living, shutting the door and sealing it with ice when she left.

'Ugh… my head is pounding…' The first thing Inficere noticed was that he was, once again, in a soft bed. Only, this time, he was shackled to it. Everything was blurry and seemed to be in black and white until he felt warmth; a fire! He heard a voice not his own whisper inside of his head, "Go to the fire! We need it!"

As creepy as it was to hear the voice in his head as it was schizophrenic, it was good enough to get him to hastily break his bindings like they were made of just regular ice, run to the fire, and accidentally stick his hands into the fire! He instantaneously pulled his hands out, ready to scream at the burnt flesh that… wasn't there. It didn't even faze his skin, so he laugh and stuck his hands back in. It didn't feel burning as much as it felt like a heated electric blanket that filled him with more and more energy with each second. He sighed in content as he continued to heat up by the flames that were lapping at his palms and fingers.

That is, until something activated something that made his vision fade everything into only red outlines. A deeper red wave suddenly was released from his body in every direction, enabling him to sense everything around him, including all the living things. He recognized this ability from the game, 'Viral Radar… or was it Viral Sonar? Whatever, it's still cool! Now, what's around me?' He saw penguins; lots and lots of penguins and one female humanoid a way's away. So, he went to the wall, cracked his knuckles, proceeded to punch the wall wide open into a hallway, and went in the direction of the humanoid.

(A/N: There's Chapter 2! So, who is the mysterious voice in Inficere's head? How does the Tiara know about BLACKLIGHT? Most importantly, how is Inficere going to hone his skils?! Find out later on in: "You Wake Up In Aaa…"!
