Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

Now for the past several weeks Martin had been traveling around Ooo and exploring. The human had seen many bizarre and strange sights. He first wondered through the desert, until he stumbled across an old abandon looking castle. Curious as to what he could find Martin went towards it, until he came across an old worn out sign.

"Dream Kingdom." Read Martin as he looked up at the castle.

The human decided to continue on towards the castle. On the way there Martin passed some old burned down castles and a large statue display in the center. The statue displayed three girls wearing dresses and tiaras. The statue on the far right displayed a girls with long hair, a sleeping mask over her eyes, and a dream catcher on her waist. The statue in the middle displayed a girl with short hair holding a telescope in her left hand and a lantern in her right hand. The statue on the left displayed a girl with her hair styled to resemble a musical note, she had a ribbon around her shoulders, and a small harp in her hands. There was a small plaque which Martin read.

"The rulers of the Dream Kingdom. Slumber Princess, Night Princess, and Lullaby Princes." Read Martin.

Martin glanced at the statue for a little bit before he move on towards the castle. As he reached the castle, Martin noticed a pathway that lead to a lower section. The human decided to go check it out and eventually found himself in a cave with just enough sunlight peaking through to allow him to see. Martin walked a little ways, until he came across a large chamber that had a large statue in it. This statue was much larger then the one Martin had seen earlier and it was much more colorful and frightening. The statue was of a large monster with a muscular red body and a cubic head topped with a pyramid. He has four yellow eyes with green pupils, a large purple tongue, hands with two fingers and his feet with two toes. Each of which had orange-yellow talons. Martin studied the statue and a shudder went down his spine. The human knew who that statue was made to resemble. It was an evil destructive deity know as GOLB!

GOLB was one of the most evil beings in the universe. The deity was almost as feared as much as End. GOLB had not participated in the Great War between the Cosmic Owl and End and to this day the destructive deity roamed the universe bringing destruction and death with it. Martin spun around three times, crossed his arms, and spat on the ground. It was a little ritual that was supposed to protect against evil. The human quickly headed out of the cave and let out a sigh of relief.

"Well that statue of GOLB probably explains why this kingdom is abandoned." Thought Martin as he sat on an old bench to rest.

It was then that a weird fog showed up and covered the grounds. Martin looked around in confusion, until he saw a figure holding a lantern coming towards him. The figure glowed with an aqua green light, before it became clear to Martin. The figure revealed itself as Martin's wife Atalanta! Martin's mouth dropped open his mouth and screamed in fear.

"You couldn't have possibly found me this quickly! I'm not going back to prison!"

With that said Martin leaped up and ran for his life. As soon as the human was gone the form of Atalanta vanished and was replaced by a teenage girl. The girl had light grey skin, short purple hair, and was dressed in a black and aqua green dress with a spiderweb pattern on the squirt and a butterfly symbol on her chest. The teenager also wore a black tiara with a green gem in it and she held a lantern. The girl was Night Princess and she was the only person left in the Dream Kingdom. Night Princess let out a sigh as she traveled to the cave with the statue of GOLB in it. The princess glared up at the statue.

"I want you to take the powers back!"

The eyes of the statue glowed and the room was filled with a deep cold laugh.

"I will not remove the power I gave you Nightmare Princess." Boomed the voice of GOLB.

"That's not my name! You gave me that name after you gave me those horrible powers!" Screamed the princess.

"A nightmare is what you produce and it is what you are now. The powers I gave you were a gift, after all you wanted to stand out from your sisters and to protect your kingdom. It's not my fault you were to weak to fully control them." Said GOLB.

"That so called gift you gave me killed my sisters and brought ruin to my kingdom! I tried to save all of them, but nothing I did work! I know you have something to do with those powers going out of control!" Said the princess.

"Your smarter then I thought. Yes I might have have played a part in your misfortune, but the fact still remains that you took the powers I offered without hesitation. Your the one who truly brought you kingdom to ruin Nightmare Princess!" Said GOLB.

"Just...take these powers back...please I beg of you!" Cried Nightmare Princess as she feel to her knees before the statue.

"Fine I shall remove the powers, but first you must do something for me. There is an old acutance of mine who has become active lately and his seeking out dark forces to serve him. I'm certain he and his minions have sensed your dark energy and will seek to recruit you. You shall serve them and after you serve them for awhile I shall take the powers back." Said GOLB.

Nightmare Princess thought this over. On one hand she was working for one evil being to go serve another one, but GOLB had promised to take the powers back and free her. It was risky, but the princess was willing to do anything to put a stop to the nightmare she lived.

"I'll do...it."

"Good." Said GOLB as the eyes stopped glowing.

Nightmare Princess took a deep breath and walked out of the cave.

(Author's Note: Slumber Princess, Lullaby Princess, and Nightmare Princess are all from the Adventure Time game 'Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom'. I'll explain the downfall of the Dream Kingdom in a later chapter.)

Martin ran from the Dream Kingdom as fast as he could. He eventually stopped in some woods to rest for a while. For the next few days Martin explored the woods, until he stubbled upon Castle Lemongrab. Martin let out a whistle of admiration.

"Now this looks like my kind of place!"

Martin entered the large kingdom and looked at all the rides and attractions. A few people glanced at Martin curiously, but didn't pay him no mind. The human saw the casinos and bars and smiled as he decided to earn himself a little fortune and have a little fun. Martin played poker with a group of fairies, Marauders, gnomes, and candy people. The first game Martin won some gold coins and an old green military jacket he put on. Martin entered another poker game and won, by hiding some extra cards in the sleeves of his jacket. The human continued to play and win gaining the attention of some of the higher ups. One person Martin attracted was Jordan the Lord of the Fairies. Jordan was tall with squinted eyes, purple hair, pointed ears, and a set of four wings. He wore a red cone-shaped hat with a yellow diamond in the middle, and green clothing. In Jordan's right hand was a red pronged wand is set with a yellow cube.

"I must say your quit a skilled card player." Said Jordan as he sat on the other side of the poker table and eyed Martin.

"What can I say I just know when to hold and when to fold them." Said Martin as he smirked at the fairy.

"I would say you had an ace up your sleeve a and I don't mean it figuratively." Said Jordan as he narrowed his eyes at Martin.

Martin's smirk vanished and a few beads of sweat dripped from his brow. Jordan then leaped to his feet and grabbed the human by his jacket sleeve and made the cards fall out of it. The crowd gasped and Martin chuckles nervously. Bucket Knight appeared on the scene and approached Martin.

"We don't take kindly to cheaters here." Said the knight as he glared at the human.

"Well I don't take kindly to pipsqueaks." Said Martin as he yanked his sleeve away from Jordan, grabbed a glass of water, and dumped it onto Bucket Knight.

This of course was a bad idea. Bucket Knight grew to twenty feet and glared down at Martin, who just looked up utterly shock.

"That...was a bad idea. Um...I gotta run!" Said Martin before he grabbed his some of his winnings, dived through Bucket Knight's legs, and took off running.

A few people tried to stop Martin, but he just punched and shoved them away. Bucket Knight roared angrily and took off after Martin with Jordan and several fairies behind him. Martin looked desperately for a way out. The human then saw a sign that read 'Zeppelin Rides'. Martin followed the signs and found a bunch of small hovering Zeppelins waiting to be boarded. Without any hesitation Martin pushed his was through the crowd and made his way into one of the Zeppelins and closed the door. A short candy thug, who was the pilot saw Martin and yelled at him.

"Hey no free rides pal!"

Martin punched the candy thug and stunned him, before he tossed him out the window. The human then looked at the controls trying to figure what did what, when he glanced out a window and saw Bucket Knight, Jordan, and several fairies making their way through the crowd towards the Zeppelin. Martin panicked and pulled a lever causing the Zeppelin to quickly rise up above the ground. The human then took control of the steering wheel and began to steer away from Castle Lemongrab.

"So long suckers!" Laughed Martin as he looked out the window and stuck his tongue out at Bucket Knight and Jordan.

Bucket Knight clenched his fist in anger, while the fairies looked like they were fixing to fly off after the escaping Zeppelin, but Jordan stooped them. The Lord of the Fairies calmly pulled out a monocle with a red target sign on it and placed it over his right eye. Jordan then closed his left eye, pointed his wand in the air with both hands, and took aim. The monocle was magic and it helped the fairy aim better. When the Zeppelin was in sight Jordan fired a red orb of magic. The orb flew through the air and shot a hole through the Zeppelin, which immediately started to deflate and plummet to the forest below.

"Knocked that bird right out of the sky!" Laughed Jordan as he put the monocle back up.

The fairies and Bucket Knight cheered as they watched the Zeppelin fall. Martin screamed in fear as his escape vehicle crashed into some trees. The human was battered and bruised, but not to badly hurt. Martin did lose some of his winnings, but he still had some left. The human grabbed what he could and climbed down the trees, before he took of running.

Martin managed to escape the people of Castle Lemongrab and found himself in the Wildberry Kingdom. It was that Martin decided to learn more about the strange land he was in, so he started asking the locals what they knew. The locals told Martin about the kingdoms, dungeons, and heroes of Ooo. When the locals talked about Finn, that got Martin's attention.

"How is this guy's name spelled?" Asked Martin.

"F i n n." Said a local.

"His a kid with blond hair that wears a white bear hat." Said another local.

That definitely got Martin's attention. He thanked the locals and went off to think about this news. This guy Finn, was Martin's son! The one he accidentally ended up teleporting away several years ago. According to the locals Finn was a great hero to the land of Ooo. Martin knew that great heroes were usually rich and if he presented himself to the boy and told him who he was, then Martin would get a huge sum of whatever treasure Finn had. The man could live out the rest of his days as a rich man if he played his cards right. Martin went about planning on how he would present himself to Finn and earn his trust. A father and son reunion was on its way.
