Okay, after seeing the finale I realized that the fun thing I wanted to do was gonna be really tedious and honestly tiring.
So I'm just not gonna do it.
Enjoy.

Rainer woke up with a blaring headache. Am I baby again? He thought tiredly as he rubbed his eyes before noticing he was still 18. His hair was still the same as well as the wolf ears, the claws and the teeth.
He looked all around him and saw that he was sitting a magical world on a grassy plain filled with all kinds of wonder. Lumpy Space Prince playing with squirrels and Hunter Wizard were some of the ones he noticed. He himself was wearing the same clothes he wore on the beginning of the journey. He stood up and took a deep breath. This was it, huh? His new home. Simon put on the crown. He wouldn't see him again. But...why did he not get restarted? He should've become a baby again by now.
Something felt wrong. Rainer looked around for Fionna and Cake before noticing them in the distance. He quickly ran towards them as fast as he could. But then they got further away. Rainer blinked in confusion before he ran faster and faster, but the distance between him and the duo only got bigger as a dark forest started to creep up from behind.
Rainer turned around to the forest to see a why-wolf and a hug-wolf standing at the edge of the forest. "We're waiting for you." Said the Why Wolf cheerfully. "Stay in the forest with us forever!" Added the hug wolf.
Rainer panicked as he saw these two welcoming him. He quickly tried running as fast as he could, but it proved futile. The werewolf Prince dug his claws into the dirt trying to escape his fate, but all he did was leave claw marks in the ground as he passed a puddle of water. In the puddle of water, Rainer saw a reflection of Simon. He tried to reach the puddle, but the puddle began to slowly shrink and disappear along with Simon as Rainer was dragged into the forest by hundreds of werewolf hand that told him this was his destiny.
Then, he finally woke up.

Rainer woke up gasping for air in a panic before he noticed the humans skating peacefully on the ice rink. He looked around him and quickly found Fionna and Cake unconscious next to him before sighing in relief. It was just a nightmare.
"Woah, great cosplay." One of the skaters complimented him.
"How did you get the tail to move so naturally?" Added another in awe.
Rainer almost jumped back in front of the compliments. He quickly turned to Fionna and Cake and shook them awake, trying to avoid having to answer any questions. Luckily, the two woke up pretty quickly.
"Rainer?" Fionna asked before the werewolf transformed into a tiny wolf and hid inside her bag.
He could fight the Lich, but social anxiety was a breed of monster he could never approach. From inside the bag, he heard Fionna and Cake talking about a nightmare they both had. And that the him from their nightmare tried to eat them. This made him think about his own nightmare. Was that going to happen to him? Was he doomed to be like his other versions? To live in seclusion with a bunch of werewolves for the rest of eternity?
The thought made him highly uncomfortable as he mulled it over anxiously. But as if to snap him out of his thoughts, he heard Fionna calling for him. He peeked his head out of her backpack to see her with Cake and what looked to be human prince gumball and most likely Marshall Lee. Rainer's eyes sparkled upon seeing them. Characters from the show that weren't angry or trying to kill him that he had the time to meet!
"This is Rainer, he's a werewolf." Said Fionna cheerfully as Rainer jumped out of her backpack and transformed into his human form before gesturing a hi to Gumball and Marshall which was clearly a surprise to them. "Rainer, this is Gary and Marshall."
"Why is there a big hole in your shirt?" Asked Marshall curiously as he tilted his head, making Rainer check on the hole he got from PB's stake.
"He was fighting an evil vampire you and got hit by some friendly fire from alternate Gary." Said Cake nonchalantly, causing both Marshall and Gary to look horrified.
Hearing this, Gary spoke worriedly. "Uhh, you don't have any grudges over that right?" He asked with a weak smile. Rainer shook his head and gave Gary a thumbs up with a smile. "Phew."
After hearing Gary's sigh of relief, Rainer zoned out as he waited for the world to reset. He wanted to be mentally prepared when it happens. When he was snapped back to reality, Fionna wasn't there.
"Hey, can I touch your ears?" Asked Marshall with a smile, causing Rainer to blink in confusion. The question made Rainer confused, but the werewolf tilted his head 90 degrees for Marshall to do what he wanted. Marshall touched the werewolf's ear before he quickly stopped when he saw the uncomfortable look on Rainer's face when the ears got touched. "Sorry about that."
It's cool. Signed Rainer calmly as he put his head back to normal. Marshall blinked which prompted Gary to speak.
"He's saying it's cool." He translated cheerfully before he turned to Fionna and Cake in the distance. "We should probably follow them."
Rainer nodded before he and the couple followed Fionna to see her fighting some oversized bugs. The werewolf panicked realizing that this was the Scarab.
Fueled by instinctual desire for victory, Rainer transformed into his monster werewolf form and pinned down one of the Scarabs with an intimidating growl that made the insect panic. His palm felt hot as he pressed it onto the insect.
"Is this part of the fun magic?" Asked Marshall with a frown.
"I think the angry werewolf says no." Added Gary worriedly.
As Rainer pinned down the insect, he noticed two others fusing into a larger one and started to think. He had to make sure Scarab couldn't reform, for Simon and for this world.
He needs ALL of them to reform, right? Thought Rainer as he stared at the insect before he understood what had to be done. He picked up the insect before raising it over his head. He opened his mouth wide and dropped the insect inside before clamping his mouth shut. With at least one Scarab part in his stomach, the menace cannot reform.
"Ew, did you just eat that thing?" Asked Gary with a wince.
"What does it taste like?" Asked Marshall with a smile, causing Gary to chuckle.
Really spicy. Signed Rainer as he transformed into his human werewolf form with a frown.
Before Gary could translate, everyone heard Fionna call out the Scarab, trying to get his attention using his magic crystal. The Scarabs fell into the trap and all dashed towards Fionna only to get caught by Cake in a 4 x 2 matrix of boxes made from her own body.
"Wait- wasn't there another one around here?" Asked Fionna, scratching her head in confusion. Hearing her question, Rainer raised his arm. "Well, where is it?"
Rainer pulled up his button up shirt to reveal his belly and as if on cue, the insect's face appeared on his stomach as it tried to escape its hungry tomb.
Fionna could only stare at Rainer in concern before they and now Hunter with them had to make their next move.

Inside Fionna's apartment.
"C'mon, Rainer! You can't keep that thing in your stomach forever!" Exclaimed Fionna angrily as Rainer hung onto the ceiling of her apartment with his claws in his human form. "Ugh!"
The whole group managed to put all of the tiny Scarabs inside semi appropriate containers. All but one.
"He's saying what if one of those guys escapes and they all merge. He wants to keep that one away from the rest." Said Gary calmly and all Fionna could do is groan.
Hunter saw this and approached the werewolf calmly. "You're an exceptional beast, but that thing will become more like a parasite the longer it stays in your stomach. Eating off of your food and stealing all your nutrients. Keeping it inside you will only make things worse in the long run. It will escape and you wouldn't be able to stop it." He said calmly. "Please, trust us with the task of keeping it contained, noble beast."
Rainer paused as he thought about what Hunter said. Even vampires can't survive without food and the Scarab was burning his stomach for some reason. The werewolf sighed before he jumped to the floor, making everyone sigh in relief. He transformed his arm into that of his monster werewolf form and with it he pierced his stomach and shirt before pulling out the tiny, but horrified Scarab bug from inside. The insect felt very hot, but Rainer chalked it up the stomach juices. Everyone, save for Hunter, was horrified by the grotesque scene of Rainer's insides, organs, bones and all, as his flesh healed in front of their eyes.
"Thank you." Said Hunter calmly as he scratched Rainer's head in a way that made the werewolf abnormally comfortable. "Also, you might want to change that shirt. It's got stomach juices on it."
Rainer handed Hunter the Scarab bug before he stared at his destroyed shirt with a pout before a t-shirt was thrown onto his head. It was turquoise in color and had the drawing of a cat on the front. It also reeked of Fionna's smell, which was highly unpleasant to his more sensitive nose, and was slightly too large for him. He turned to where the shirt was thrown from and saw Cake.
"It's the only piece of spare clothes we have right now." Said Cake with a shrug as she pointed to a pile of dirty clothes. "The only one that fits enough and isn't in the piles of dirty clothes."
Rainer turned to Fionna's dirty pile of clothes and immediately had to plug his nose. In fact, the whole apartment was horrid to his nose. "How did I not smell that until now?" He thought with a frown. And with a defeated sigh, Rainer begrudgingly wore the cat shirt. But now with no Scarab to worry about, Rainer couldn't help but worry for Simon. He must be alive, but in what state? He hadn't put on the crown and Scarab was clearly split apart by something.
He clutched his head in worry as he sat down crosslegged next to Hunter. Hunter noticed Rainer's worry and started scratching the werewolf's head to calm him down. On one hand, it felt great to get head scratches. On the other, it felt a little demeaning. Although, it did manage to calm him down significantly. He comfortably sat down next to Hunter as he waited for the group to know what to do next. That comfort ended when he heard Fionna scream in frustration.
"Just call him." Said Cake nonchalantly as she ate a can of tuna, causing Fionna to let out some confused noise and Rainer's ears to perk up. "I gave him my phone. Y'know, to play worm while he was all alone."
Fionna immediately borrowed Gary's phone to make the call and Rainer waited with bated breath as his fluffy tail wagged around anxiously as Hunter inspected the Scarab's crystal that they managed to get. Alas, Simon didn't...or couldn't answer. Seeing this, Rainer became so anxious even the head scratches failed to calm him down.
"I'm gonna go back through the portal." Declared Fionna with a determined expression.
"The blue sparkles again?" Asked Marshall curiously.
"Hey, I've seen an opening with blue sparkles. Out there in the park." Hunter cut in calmly, causing Rainer to stand up as his tail wagged around anxiously. "I'll take you there."
Rainer nodded and quickly headed to the door as Fionna got Cake and Marshall and Gary decided to hop in as well. Rainer's tail wagging got quicker and quicker as his patience was virtually non existent at that point and his frustration was at its peak.
Thankfully, everyone quickly headed out of Fionna's apartment to look for portals. However, with barely a minute in the street, Fionna's apartment suddenly exploded and amongst the smoke everyone could see...the Scarab fully reformed.
The Scarab cracked his knuckles and glared at them with glowing red slits for eyes. "Crossovers." He spat as if it was venom.
Rainer saw this and quickly got ready for a fight, ignoring the Scarab's threatening monologue. But Cake was one step ahead as she started freeing the cosmic entities Scarab had trapped in his crystal.
One by one the entities started overwhelming Scarab even getting trapped in a living island. But the Scarab didn't go down so easily and smashed through the living island and took down all the cosmic entities that were thrown his way before he leaped towards our group.
Rainer saw this and transformed into his wolf form before he leaped up towards Scarab's head and bit down on it before he transformed into his monster werewolf form and put Scarab in a chokehold.
"G-get off me, you animal!" Exclaimed Scarab angrily before Rainer lifted him up and slammed him onto the road, causing a large crater. The Scarab yelled in pain, but quickly recovered as he pulled out an extendable silver rod and melted the skin of Rainer's shoulder before the werewolf jumped away. Rainer was confused as he transformed into his human form and held his shoulder boiling under his new unharmed cat shirt, where was that silver rod when he was a bunch of bugs? "Do you know how lucky you are? If I was able to pull this out after you ATE me, I would've tore you apart from the inside!"
Rainer froze as he remembered the burning sensation he got from even touching the Scarab bug. If the silver had gotten more exposed, he could've died or had his stomach melted like butter.
Using this moment of hesitation, Scarab dashed with the silver rod towards Rainer. But as he was about to swing his weapon, Hunter, Fionna, Cake, Marshall and Gary all dashed in to stop him in his tracks.
"Rainer! Do something!" Exclaimed Fionna in a panic. Rainer heard this and quickly thought about what to do. He couldn't hurt the Scarab in any significant way with his armour. And suddenly, his eyes locked with Scarab's and he got an idea. He transformed into his wolf form and jumped onto Scarab's shoulders before transforming into his human form and opening his mouth wide.
His canines quickly grew in size to his will into deadly daggers. He got into position and bit down on Scarab's head, letting his dagger like canines pass through Scarab's eye holes and dig into his eyes. Scarab screamed in pain as he writhed around, throwing everyone off of him as well.
Rainer in particular was thrown into a building which caused some tiny debris to fall onto his head. He shook his head awake and turned to Scarab who had already gotten his crystal back from Cake.
"If I can't extract this place whole, I will rip it out piece by piece!" Exclaimed Scarab angrily as he jumped atop a building with his crystal in weapon ready to fire. He fired onto a building and it disappeared from reality as if it was a page torn from a book and the worst part was that it was slowly spreading.
Rainer saw this and rushed in in his monster werewolf form to stop Scarab and just as he was about knock him down, he felt his chest burning, BOILING. He froze in front of Scarab and looked down to check what happened and he saw it. The silver rod was cleanly going through his chest. The Scarab chuckled. "Good night, forever." He said happily as Rainer slid off the rod and fell from atop the building down to the road as he transformed into his human form.
I can't breathe. He thought as layed motionlessly in a crater in the asphalt. It burns.
It hurt, badly. He could barely keep his eyes open as his vision became blurry. His breathing was getting faster and rougher with each second. He soon heard the voices of his friends distorted by his inability to focus on anything other than his injury as they approached him.
"What happened? Is he okay?" Asked Cake worriedly as Hunter gently lifted Rainer lifted his cat shirt to inspect his injury.
"He's gonna be okay, right?" Asked Fionna on the verge of tears as Gary and Marshall watched worriedly.
"Silver through the heart. A werewolf's greatest weakness." Said Hunter in a serious tone, almost sending Fionna off the edge. "However, it only grazed his heart. There's a chance he'll make it."
Fionna and Cake visibly relaxed a little upon hearing that before they turned to Scarab with angry expressions.
"I'll keep him safe. You deal with that guy." Said Hunter in a serious tone as he gently carried the limp Rainer away. Rainer slowly moved his hand towards Hunter's arm and gripped it tightly and whimpered. "Save your strength." He said as he took Rainer away and put him somewhere safe.
Hunter frowned as he stared at Rainer's injury. There wasn't any blood, so it wasn't like a human injury and all flesh was melting. He didn't know what to do. As for Rainer...
The thought of dying again floated around Rainer's hazy mind. He never expected it to happen so suddenly. Tears pooled around his eyes as he pondered the idea of dying again. He didn't want to die. He had friends, Simon and people liked his art. He changed, he had reasons to live now. He didn't want to die anymore. With all his newfound determination, Rainer tried and tried to heal his injury, to fight against his weakness to silver. To win. He shut his eyes and clenched his teeth as he focused all his being on healing.
And slowly but surely, the hole in his chest started healing. But the heart was different, it refused to heal no matter what and kept on hurting. But Rainer didn't give up. Even if it was futile, Rainer continued trying and trying even as it made it hurt more. He clutched his chest as he continued to fight with a deep growl. But it was futile, he was losing energy. His breathing was getting rougher and rougher. His mind was getting hazier by the second as he got closer and closer to his death.
Hunter noticed this and spoke. "Slow down! You'll die if you waste your energy like that!" Exclaimed Hunter worriedly. Rainer couldn't hear what he had said, but could make out what was probably said.
But he didn't stop. He'll die if he waits and he'll most likely die if he keeps struggling. One option seemed better than the other. As Rainer summoned all his willpower, he saw a violet glow approach him from above. He didn't know what it was or what it was doing, but it felt... familiar. The light touched him and dissipated into him healing his heart.
Rainer's eyes widened as he could finally breathe properly again. He felt strangely...whole. He turned to Hunter and hugged his new friend at the earliest expense before turning to the city to see everything getting fixed by the light and they seemed to be coming from a dandelion in Fionna's hand that she was blowing into the wind.
Rainer saw this and turned to the Scarab who was still destroying everything. The werewolf was about to lunge at Scarab once again before the menace aimed for Fionna and Cake. He couldn't move as the beam reached them..., But it did nothing. In fact, Scarab's weapon began fixing the world for them.
Rainer saw the Scarab panic and dashed towards his friends for a hug. He noticed Scarab talking on a golden phone with someone, but had to resist the urge to taunt him as Cake pulled them all in for an even bigger hug. But then he noticed Fionna escaping the hug and approaching Scarab.
"Hey, Mr Scarab? No hard feelings, okay?" Said Fionna calmly before Scarab started to chuckle.
"No hard feelings." He said menacingly before he kicked up a large slab of road and threw it into Gary's bakery, destroying the place completely. "I'm going to tear down Prismo's precious sand castle WITH MY BARE HANDS!"
Fionna screamed in fear as Scarab started destroying building with nothing but his own physical strength. Rainer saw this and grabbed a piece of cloth and dashed towards him in his monster werewolf form, wary of any silver Scarab had.
The Scarab immediately tried to use his silver rod, but Rainer caught it with the piece of cloth. It still burned his skin even with the cloth between them, but he could hold on to it now. Rainer pulled the rod from Scarab's clutches and threw it far in the distance where Scarab would never find it.
Scarab replied to this by trying to choke Rainer, but the werewolf quickly kicked him away. Just as Scarab was about to attack again, a tank fell onto his body from the sky. Rainer was shocked to see this tank. It was the same peppermint butler one from vampire world. And it contained more friends. Baby Finn, Martin, Jay and Little Destiny as well as a squirrel Rainer vaguely remembered.
Rainer was happy to see reinforcements, but this was no time for a reunion party. Scarab threw the tank off of his body like a toy. Rainer decided this was the time to use as much power as possible. He transformed into a titanic size wolf and stood face to face with the Scarab.
Rainer kicked the Scarab immediately into a building before he came back again angrier. Rainer jumped into the air and flipped, landing on his back and the Scarab with a giant shockwave. When Rainer got off of him, the Scarab was visibly hurt, but not down yet.
The Scarab ranted on about something that Rainer couldn't care less about. After he was done, he attempted to trap Rainer in an egg using his weapon, but little Destiny was already at his flank and kicked the crystal away towards the pepper mint tank which fired it towards Fionna. Scarab saw this and immediately jumped towards Fionna and Cake.
Rainer saw this and was about to kick the insect away, but he noticed Fionna grew in size visibly somehow and used Cake as a hammer. She took the crystal and swung Cake, sending Scarab flying.
"Oooh! This is definitely my top fantasy!" Exclaimed Fionna before she gave the crystal to Cake.
"I'm a little copycat," said Cake before she used the Scarab's weapon against him to imprison the insect in an egg.
Seeing Scarab defeated, Rainer transformed back into his normal size and into his human form before collapsing on the pavement. He wasn't physically exhausted due to his werewolf physiology, but the mental exhaustion was indeed there.
And so, he closed his eyes with a smile.

Once everything settled down, Rainer did a lot of things. But the most important one was this.
"Ready to meet everyone, Rain?" Asked Simon with a smile as he put his hand on Rainer's shoulders.
Rainer, who was wearing a gray sweater and black pants, nodded slowly before signing the words "Just nervous." For Simon. He was going to have two lives, one in Fionna world and the other in Ooo. At least if the people in Ooo hate him, he could stick to one reality.
"Relax, they're gonna love you." Said Simon with a smile as he and Rainer approached a familiar house.
Simon knocked on the door cheerfully as Rainer played with his fingers anxiously. The one who opened the door was Marceline.
"Simon! Did you pop by for a visit?" Asked Marcy cheerfully before she noticed the nervous Rainer. "Who's this wolf guy?"
Simon suddenly also felt awkward telling Marceline this, but he had to. "Marceline, this is Rainer and he's...your new brother. I'm adopting him." He said quickly trying to get it out quickly.
Marceline's eyes widened as she heard this news. She went completely silent as she eyed Rainer intently. He didn't look evil, just nervous to be here. And he did look cute with his short height. But why would Simon adopt him...unless.
Simon took Marceline's silence as a bad reaction and quickly continued. "I know it's sudden, but trust-"
"I trust you, Simon." Marceline cut in with a smile. She knew if Simon adopted someone, they needed it. Marcy turned to Rainer with a smile as she put her hands on her sides and spoke cheerfully. "So what's up, little bro?'
Rainer's tail immediately betrayed him and started wagging around happily, causing Marceline to chuckle.
"I think we'll get along." Said Marceline with a smile.
And Rainer couldn't help but smile too. Perhaps, this ending was a little cheesy. But he wouldn't have it any other way.
