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

(Author's Note: Good evening folks I have a special chapter for you all. Since Halloween is coming up and I promised one of my followers that I would put a particular frightening character from another cartoon show in this story I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Get ready for a creepy frightening chapter! Hope you enjoy it!)

The Lich sat in his throne with his book on his lap. The book glowed slightly and a ripple in space opened up before the Lich. A large twelve foot tall centipede like creature slithered out of the rip and stood before the necromancer. The creature had eight legs around it's head, which resembled a large eyelid and in the center of that eye was a female Noh mask, it had a white face with red lips and gray eye markings.

"Koh the Face Stealer." Said the Lich as he looked at the creature before him.

(Author's Note: That's right folks I just brought one of the most frightening spirits of Avatar the Last Airbender into this story and he is going to steal some faces!)

"Greetings master." Said Koh in a male voice with a slight bow.

"You are the first minion to break free from the book, after I released the generals. I do not have any missions for you right now, so you may go out into the world and do as you please." Said the Lich.

The eyelid closed and Koh now had the face of a beautiful red haired women as he studied the Lich.

"You've certainly have changed, you used to have such a handsome face and I can tell your weaker now. I'm guessing the Cosmic Owl had something to do with that. Oh well good luck with restoring yourself. I'm going to go add a few new faces to my collection." Said Koh as the eyelid closed and the Noh mask reappeared.

The Face Stealer went into the shadows and vanished. The Lich chuckled as he thought about the carnage and fear Koh would spread to Ooo.

At Castle Lemongrab, King Lemongrab, Queen Cookie and an entourage of members of the Syndicate were heading to take a walk through a nearby forest. Lemongrab and Cookie were thinking about adding a national park to their expanding kingdom and we're looking at the local forest for inspiration. Unfortunately for some of the group things were about to go horribly wrong. Gareth the handsome criminal was traveling with the group, but he was to busy admiring himself in a hand mirror and he soon became separate from the group.

"Oh well who needs them, when I have you." Said Gareth as he kissed his reflection and continued on through the woods.

Little did Gareth know, was that he was being watched by Koh and he was fixing to have the things he treasured most taken away from him. Koh's eyelid blinked and the face of a blue skinned demon appeared on his face as he crept after Gareth with a grin on his twisted face.

"My. My. What a handsome face and I can see that you treasure it greatly." Said Koh as he hung from the trees above.

"Who goes there?" Shouted Gareth as he spun around and tried to see who had spoken, but he couldn't see anyone.

"I can tell you rely heavily on your looks to get you everywhere in life. It'll make stealing your face even more enjoyable." Said Koh as lowered his body down towards Gareth and hung a few feet above him.

GarEth looked up at Koh and he let out a scream of pure terror!

"WHAT THE?! AAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The eyelid closed and when it opened a large red eye appeared and shot out a beam of light into Garth's face. The legs around the eye latched onto Garth's face and dug into him as they began to slice through the man's very soul and took a peace out of it. Gareth's face along with his hair vanished as the legs released him and the eyelid closed. When it reopened Gareth's face appeared in the center of Koh's eye. The faceless body of Gareth titled it's head up at Koh and then it began to feel the featureless lump of flesh that was his head. After realizing that there was nothing there Gareth's body fell down and hugged itself. Koh chuckled and then he heard the sound of someone approaching and quickly rose up into the trees. Smudge the gingerbread man wondered onto the scene and saw Gareth, but he only saw his back not his front.

"Yo Gareth I heard somebody screaming, was that you?" Said Smudge.

Gareth didn't answer.

"What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Did you shave your head?" Asked Smudge as he walked over to Gareth and saw that his face was gone!

Smudge leaped back startled and let out a shout of surprise. It was then Koh made his move and lowered himself down towards Smudge and hovered over him.

"You'll be experiencing the same fate!" Laughed Koh.

Smudge let out a cry for help, but it was to late. In a matter of seconds Smudge's face was gone as well and Koh was now wearing it. The gingerbread man feel to his knees with his head pointed at the ground. Koh headed back into the trees as he heard the sounds of another person coming. This time it was Lemongrab, who had heard the yelling and raced off to see what it was ahead of his group. The lemon candy had his sword out as he starred at Smudge and Gareth.

"What was the meaning of these screams of terror? Tell me! Your king demands answers!" Ordered Lemongrab.

Gareth and Smudge revealed their faceless faces making Lemongrab scream in terror as he fell onto his back. The faceless victims began to head towards Lemongrab, who swung his sword at them and screamed loudly at them.

"Having deformed faceless heads is UNACCEPTABLE! Stay away from your KING!" Screamed Lemongrab as he scrambled back to his feet and was turing to run, but came face to face with Koh, who was wearing Smudge's face.

"Been awhile since I had a king's face in my collection." Said the Face Stealer with a chuckle.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOO!" Screamed Lemongrab.

Koh quickly took Lemongrab's face and left the lemon candy laying on his back with no face shuddering. Koh changed from Lemongrab's face back to the Noh face as he surveyed his recent victims.

"You three made wonderful contributions to my collection, now I must be off." Said Koh as he crawled away.

A few minutes after Koh left, Cookie and the rest of the entourage showed up on the screen and saw the faceless trio.

"My royal king buddy is FACELESS!" Screamed Cookie, before he fainted.

Lemongrab despite have no face walked over to Cookie and bent his faceless head down towards him. Apparently they people, who had their faces stolen could still see and hear. The entourage decided to take the victims back to Castle Lemongrab to have them looked at and alert King about what happened. King called upon the magical aid of Jordan, who studied Lemongrab and the others for a few minutes, before turning toKing.

"This was the work of an extremely dark and evil force. A small part of these guys spirits were stolen and they have lost their faces. There is nothing I can do for them." Said Jordan.

"Can't...you I don't know create them new faces using your magic?" Asked King.

"I could, but it could lead to disastrous results and do permeant damage to their minds and spirits. The best solution would be to find the creature responsible for this and destroy it, thus releasing the tiny spirt parts to restore these guys faces." Said Jordan.

"Sounds like...we're going to need a hero. I don't want any of our guys losing their faces. Maybe I can convince Bubblegum to help, after all I'm sure she'll help after she sees poor Lemongrab." Said King before he wondered off to make some calls.

Miles away in some woods, Lumpy Space Princess and Brad were driving through the woods looking for a nice romantic spot. LSP had told Brad she was ready to take their relationship to the next level and she was fully prepared to kiss Brad on the condition they find a super romantic place to do it. But every place they passed LSP would always find a problem with it. Brad was getting a little annoyed with his girlfriend and finally he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Would you just pick a place please, we've been driving around for hours." Complained Brad.

"I knew it! Your not committed to this relationship since your not helping me with the perfect spot to take our relationship to the next level! You insensitive jerk!" Shouted LSP as she left the car and flew into the woods.

Brad just sighed as he took the keys out and walked off after his girlfriend, as he wondered for the thousandth time why he was still in this relationship. LSP had flown several yards before she stopped to have a little cry in a clearing. It was then that one of the bushes started to move around and LSP started to panic. The princess had watched several horror movie with Marceline and Lucinda, so this gave her an overactive imagination.

"Oh GLOB! I'm in the middle of the woods and now some creature from the dark is coming to get me! It could be a crazed stalker or one of those creepy immortal guys who wear hockey mask coming to crush my lumps!" Screamed LSP.

The bushes continued to move as whatever it was grew closer and closer freaking out the princess. LSP then tried to be calm and brave.

"Whoever is there please don't crush my lumps I need them and if you come anywhere near me my stud of a boyfriend will pulverize you!" Shouted LSP.

The bushes parted and the face of a deer stuck out. LSP let out a sigh of relief that was quickly short lived as the rest of the deer's body came out revealing itself to be Koh with a deer face. LSP's mouth dropped open in shock as her body froze in fright. Koh just grinned as he leaned forward and took LSP's face. The Face Steeler then headed off into the woods leaving LSP hovering in the air. Brad showed up on the scene five minutes later.

"Hey LSP, let's talk...ok." Began Brad, but then he saw LSP's faceless head and jumped back in fright.

The lumpy space person starred at his girlfriend in shock, but then something clicked in his head. LSP no longer had a face or a voice meaning that, Brad no longer had to listen to his girlfriend complain or shout.

"Thank you Glob!" Whispered Brad as he looked up at the sky.

LSP slapped Brad on the head getting his attention as she made a bunch of wild angry hand signs. Brad just sighed.

"Alright, I'll take you to someone who might be able to help you." Said Brad with a sigh as he rubbed his head.

LSP just nodded and crossed her and as she followed Brad back to the car and they headed into the direction of the Candy Kingdom.

A few miles away near the tree fort, Jake and Martin were hanging outside waiting for Finn to join them, when Jake saw a strange shadowy shape move along the edge of some woods a few hundred yards away.

"Looks like we got a creepy monster moving about. Better go deal with it before it causes trouble." Said Jake.

"This'll be a piece of cake with your powers and my awesome heroic skill." Said Martin proudly as he pulled out a sword.

The two of them headed to the woods and began searching. They split up and began looking through the bushes. Jake was looking through a large bush, when he came face to face with a baboon's face. The magical dog jumped back startled as the baboon's face revealed itself to be a part of Koh. Jake managed to let out a scream before Koh stole his face. Martin was turning from the bush he was searching through completely unaware about what happened to Jake as he began to assure the dog about his skills.

"Relax Jake you have nothing to fear with me around. Any monster who try's to attack will in for a world of hurt!" Declared Martin right before Koh appeared before him wearing Jake's face.

"Big words for a little man." Said Koh before he began to steal Martin's face.

Satisfied with his work, Kohn headed deeper into the woods. A faceless Jake and Martin decided to head back to the tree fort and tell Finn what happened. They arrived just about when Finn was coming out.

"Hey guys I'm ready for an adve-." Began Finn, but then he stopped when he saw the faceless bodies of both Jake and Martin. "OH MY GLOB! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Cried the hero.

Martin and Jake tried to tell Finn what happened using hand motions, but Finn couldn't understand them. Finally Finn decided to try something else and grabbed BMO taking him outside.

"Just type what happened onto BMO and I'll read the screen." Explained Finn.

Martin typed what happened onto BMO and Finn read it. It was just a simply report about what happened and how a strange monster stole their faces. This made Finn angry, how dare someone steal the faces of his father and his brother. The human gripped his sword with a determined look in his eyes.

"Dad. Jake. I promise you both on my honor that I will get your faces back and restore." Declared Finn.

The hero decided that it was perhaps best to take his father and his brother to the Candy Kingdom to let Bubblegum check them out. The trio headed towards the Candy Kingdom.

Several miles away in the Mountain Kingdom, Tobe was meditating on a large rock next to a river. The ninja could sense an evil force moving throughout Ooo and it had already done horrible things to several people. Tobe opened his eyes and grabbed his swords. Whatever this creature was it was attempting to spread carnage and fear throughout the Land of Ooo. The ninja warrior needed to go help his friends and he knew the mostly likely place they were was the Candy Kingdom. Tobe headed towards the apartment he shared with Doctor Princess and found her on the phone with a concerned look on her face. The ninja could just tell it was related to the trouble he had been sensing lately. Doctor Princess hung up the phone and told Tobe what the call was about, confirming the ninja's suspicions. The two of them set out towards the Candy Kingdom to help with the crisis.

To be continued.
