Finn's feet smash against the snow as he rushes towards the battle, a slight grimace on his face as he tries to think of ways to take them down, let alone without destroying them. He eventually sighs, 'It's no use…' He looks up at them as one swings a punch at Ice Queen and misses, smashing her mountain in a rain of falling ice 'They have to be destroyed!'
He continues to sprint, rapidly approaching the giants '... How do I do that?' Suddenly one of the Bubblegum Guardians raises its massive legs above him, snow and ice dripping around him as it comes crashing down. Finn panics before throwing himself out of harm's way. Snow flies up as the foot smashes down next to him, shaking the ground so hard that Finn vibrates on the floor. He quickly scrambles up however, and charges at the foot, sword held high as he screams a warcry, "AAAHHHH!" And he slams his sword down.
Thunk. It just bounces off the metal, not leaving a scratch on the pink surface. "... Well that didn't go to plan." The limb rockets away, knocking Finn over. He groans as he pushes himself up, shaking some snow off his face. He spots another foot nearby, "Okay round two!" He sprints at it, watching it shoot a massive laser at Ice Queen, its brightness and the explosions that follow it rival that of the sun.
Despite now being semi blind as a result, Finn still continues, and quickly latches onto the robot. His left hand finds an edge for him to grip onto, before: "Drill mode!" His right arm shifts into the drill and he presses it against the metal. Sparks fly as a metal on metal scream makes Finn wince. After a few seconds he pulls away, finding that there was a small hole in the metal. He grins initially, but then shakes his head 'That would take too long, and I'd rather not hang dangerously on something that could move at a moment's notice'
He looks up, staring at the weak bits of connection in between every limb high above him. But he has no way to reach that 'And even then I don't know if it will work' He shoves himself off the foot then looks up to the sky, trying to find his queen. He spots her, but she isn't looking at him, too focused on dodging. He steps back, waving his arms as he screams out, "ICE QUEEN!"
She fails to hear him other the roars of a laser skimming by her, but Finn was still in luck as his sword catches the sun, shining it in her eyes. She winces away, but upon realising who it was she shoots towards him and snatches him up. She pulls him close to her, "How is Huntress?"
"She is taking Cake on solo. I'm here to help!" She looks at the robots as they clap their hands, trying to squish her between them.
"You left her?! She doesn't have magic!"
"I know! But she'll be able to handle it, and she knows I would be able to deal with Cake! So it wasn't to protect me! I trust her judgment!" Ice Queen doesn't reply, staying focused on keeping them both alive. "Drop me on one of them! I know you need them distracted to give you time to do a spell!"
"You sure?"
"Yes!" Ice Queen waits, letting one of them swing it massive fist at her. It shoots by, causing a bit of turbulence but she Ice Queen ignores it, darting straight at the robot before it could follow up the attack. She swoops just below its glass head, dropping Finn off without even halting before rocketing away and behind her mountain. Finn rises from a crouch, only to fall onto his ass as the robot shakes, both of them making their way to follow Ice Queen. "Oh no you don't!"
He gets up despite the shaking, and with a cry charges at the glass head with his sword at his hip. Just before he hits it, he jumps and jerks his blade out. The point of his sword smashes into the glass and cracks it. The massive robot freezes and looks down at him in shock, "NEW THREAT DETECTED." It pauses as it scans him, "PRIORITY ONE TARGET ACQUIRED." The loud female voice announces, making Finn raises an eyebrow,
"Seriously Gumball? Priority one?"
The Bubblegum Guardian raises its hand and smacks at Finn, but he quickly sprints at the globe head, tucking himself in the gap between the body and the head. The slap shakes him, but actually poses no threat to him, making him smile, until the other Bubblegum Guardian approaches, "IT'S HIDING. GET IT OUT."
It nods at the command before it reaches down and yanks a tree out. It brings it up to the other's neck, and immediately tries removing Finn. The trapped hero stares at the incoming tree in fear, then reaches out as it whacks him. He grunts in pain, but hangs on as the massive robot brings him out. It holds him out as it stares at him and the tree, before charging its laser up "TARGET ACQUIRED." Finn leaps off the tree, falling down and getting smacked by the branches before smacking into the hand. The Bubblegum Guardian stares, before bringing its other hand to crush him.
He scrambles to his feet, running up the arm and just barely avoiding the smack. It quickly removes its hand raises the one Finn was on. The arm slopes, and Finn quickly starts losing his grip, falling off the arm and slapping onto the glass head, causing him to groan in pain. The other Bubblegum Guardian comes to assist, two fingers held out to pinch Finn who quickly slides off the face and runs back at the arm. He jumps, just barely avoiding the fingers as he leaps into the shoulder joints, protecting himself in a small gap. "STOP HIDING." It once again takes a tree from the ground, and brings it to the shoulder. To find Finn gone. "OH NO."
"WHERE HAS IT GONE?"
"I DON'T KNOW. I LOOKED AWAY FROM ONE SECOND." As they start searching the massive robots body, Finn barely clutches onto the back of the robot arm, slowly making his way back to the head. But the Bubblegum Guardian was getting close to finding him, if he was to make it then he would need to hurry.
He climbs onto the back of the robot, when the other peers around and stares directly at him. "TARGET ACQ-" Suddenly a massive icicles crashes into the Bubblegum Guardian that Finn was on, piercing through its shoulder just where the arm connects. The other Bubblegum Guardian abandons Finn as it analyses the new threat, finding Ice Queen floating in the sky with a massive grin.
"You're like giant toys! So…" She spins around, facing the mountain, "... It is time to play boys!" Nothing happens. Until the ground starts to shake. Then thousands upon thousands of ice creatures come swarming over the mountain, causing the robots to lock onto them. The non injured one steps forward, charging its laser at the horde, "ELIMINATING HOSTILE THREATS." Its red laser strikes the earth, right into the horde and causing a massive explosion that wipes swaths of them out. But that was a bite compared to the amount still remaining, that all quickly swarm the feet of the titanic weapons.
They quickly raise their legs high, and stomp down hard, causing a shockwave as they crush armies underneath their feet. They systematically swap between kicking them and punching them, for the swarm was too close and shooting the laser may risk self harm. "ELIMINATING THREAT." The robot boots a group of them, launching them into the air, some even coming close to hitting Ice Queen as she darts out of the way. She growls, and raises her hands that glow with magic.
The robot snaps its head up to her, lasers charging. She shrieks and stops flying, free falling to evade as the laser roars above her. She snaps out of her fall, "Right, still no time to charge a spell then." So she starts darting around its body, letting off tiny ice spells that require no wait, probing for a weakness. All the while the robots continue to stomp and kick, killing her creations in the hundreds.
Finn meanwhile climbs on top of his Bubblegum Guardian, before breaking into a sprint towards the injured arm. He looks it over, finding that the arm was out of operation. But an idea enters his mind. He leaps down onto the injury, whips his sword out, and starts cutting. He may of not of been able to injure the reinforced armour on the outside, but the inside was unprotected. Coupled with brittleness from Ice Queen's attack, and strain from having to still hold the arm, his sword was tearing up the metal with ease.
He peeks from his work, watching as Ice Queen holds a stream of ice against her robot as it starts to get covered in ice. A metal whine makes him focus on his work, cutting more wires that try electrocuting him. Until eventually he stands, and attaches his sword to his back. And walks over to the arm. He slams himself it, before grabbing it and what remains of the socket, then starts tearing them apart.
He sweats profusely, groaning in effort as they slowly separate under his might. Then it tips over the edge, the weakened metal splitting as the arm breaks free. Finn just tore the Bubblegum Guardian's arm off. It falls, plummeting to the ground in a shower of metal before smashing into the ground, hand spasming before going still. Finn doesn't waste time, spinning around to look at the rest of the injuries. Or more accurately, the pipes, " Eeny, meeny, miny... moe!" He leaps into a random pipe, and quickly starts traversing it.
As he explores, Ice Queen pounds her robot with ice spells, but nothing she is doing is harming it. She would need to make an icicle as big as last time if she was to damage it, but that would require her to fly still. What would be a death sentence in front of the massive robot. So instead, she attacks its arms with an unrelenting ice stream, hoping to freeze or lock it up, something to remove some danger for her to attack. Eventually her perseverance is rewarded, as it arms freeze to its body 'Nice!... Now what?'
Finn meanwhile pokes his head outside the pipe he was in, finding himself in some small room with the only light being a massive pink screen illuminating the whole room in the hue. Confused, Finn exits the pipe, and walks towards the screen, scanning around for some threat in the suspicious room. Just below the screen sat a keyboard, joysticks, and flips, all covered in a very thick layer of dust. Using his flesh hand he wipes most of it off, it reveals old and faded labels, causing him to squint as he struggles to read it.
"... Laser? What the?..." He reads another just above a switch, and instantly becomes shocked before smiling a massive grin, "Manual control eh?" He looks around but finds no seat, so standing at the controls, he flips the switch. The Bubblegum Guardian suddenly freezes up just as it was about to laser some more of Ice Queen's minion. Then it slouches, before looking at the ground.
It reaches down, and grasps its fallen arm with its other, before rising and making its way over to the other Bubblegum Guardian. It looks up at it as it approaches, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Suddenly the injured one rears back with broken limb in hand, then snaps back and slaps the other robot around the face with it. Glass and broken metal goes flying as the head shatters on the other Bubblegum Guardian, a massive hole in its head as it spins with the blow, struggling to remain standing. It recovers, turning back to its partner as it gets clubbed again by the limb as more glass goes flying. Ice Queen stares with shock, before grinning massively 'That was the robot Finn was in!' "Minions! Ignore that Bubblegum Guardian! Attack that one!" Ice Queen orders, pointing at the other robot, who finally defends itself. As a third hit slams into it, it charges up its laser and blasts the limb from Finn's hand.
It is instantly destroyed, falling to the ground as burning metal, but Finn doesn't care, as he instead charges up his own laser. The orange beam blasts out and smashes into the other robot, striking it in the chest and exploding in a massive ball of fire. Although the shockwave from the explosion nearly knocks Ice Queen from the sky, she can't help but yell in celebration as it falls.
Until she realises that it is still alive. It smashes into her mountain, and instantly works on recovering, pushing itself up, "Minions! Swarm it! Swarm it now!" The beings of ice heed her call, and scrambles up the mountain before lunging onto the giant robot, swarming over it. The weight on its injured body overwhelms it, making it fall back down and allowing more to swarm on. In the end, its pink colour disappears from view as it is replaced by the white and blue of ice beings. She nods 'They won't kill it, but it will buy time' She spins, looking at Finn's robot standing completely still with worry 'How will I kill both of these?'
Finn meanwhile has abandoned the controls, and was once again traversing the pipes. He crawls along, just picking random paths in the pitch blackness that dominated the pipes. Suddenly he falls, expecting floor when there wasn't any. He screams as he plummets, before hitting some metal grating with a heavy thump. He groans as he slowly pushes himself up. And finds a massive circular core glowing a pink hue, and was just pulsing with energy.
"... You look important." Finn states, walking close to it, only to walk face first into something invisible. He stumbles back and stares at a pink force field surrounding the entire core, that fades back into being invisible. "Great, how do I deal with this?" He starts looking around, but in the darkness it was nearly impossible to see anything, let alone critical parts to the shield. Sighing, he walks up to the barrier and stares at where it comes out of.
There were lines of projector, but were an inch into the floor 'I can't hit destroy them with my sword then. He crawls along them to find an origin point, but just ends up banging his head against the wall. Flinching, he rubs his wound as he looks at the floor, 'So the power supply must be under it' He looks at the dark pink squares that make the floor then searches for an access, before giving up and grabbing his sword then slamming it in between two squares.
His blade sinks a few inches, making him smile before pushing with all his might onto the side of his sword, trying to pop it open. He groans, when it suddenly pops free with the screech. Wincing in pain, he looks down at the floor board and finds an entirely different level, this one being a massive open circular room. And four pylons in a square formation. Grabbing his sword, he jumps down before walking over to one. They were tall, sitting at nearly seven feet tall, and each had four pink wires coming out the top and bottom.
He circles one, trying to find some off switch or a way to easily disable it before shrugging, "If your brain don't work, then hit it!" He swings in an arc at a wire, severing it without resistance. It sparks, and jiggles around, but nothing obvious has happened. After a moment of waiting to make sure, Finn just starts cutting at the others, quickly cutting the remaining seven wires. Once again, sparks fly but it was also accompanied by a thunk below him as something shuts off.
Grinning, the hero dashes to the other pylons, systematically cutting every single wire. One by one, the pylons are disabled as heavy thunks echo out from the machine, until eventually Finn cuts the fourth and final one. The whole place somehow darkens even more, startling Finn as he looks around. Suddenly something moves in the centre of the room, making the hero panic and hold his sword ready. The floor opens up, revealing a small circle platform with four, finger like claws holding a pink orb between them all. Raising an eyebrow, Finn walks towards it cautiously, prodding it with his sword...
It does nothing. He sighs, and approaches the orb properly. It was a glass ball larger than his head, and was resting on some plate, with pink lightning violently arcing out from the centre like a plasma globe. Experimentally, he pulls at a finger holding the orb with his hand and finds it shifts a little. Wrapping both hands around the claw, he yanks it away from the globe. Lightning arcs out, striking him head-on, making the hero jump, but physically he was fine thanks to the enchantment. Shaking any startlement away, he quickly sets himself on the other fingers, yanking them away from the ball.
In the end they all part from the orb, leaving it to balance delicately on the plate, yet nothing happens at all. Confused, Finn walks away, back towards where he jumped down and stares up. Everything looks the same as well, so heads over to one of the pylons. Grabbing a severed wire, he cuts a bit off before walking back to the hole.
He throws the wire, watching it arc through the hole before slapping into the force field and dropping to the floor. Finn groans in annoyance, before sighing, "Now what?" He looks back at the orb, before walking over to it again, analysing it some more. He grabs it, closes his eyes, and lifts it up off the plate. He waits a second for a sign of trouble, before opening his eyes and staring at the orb in his hands.
It was warm, like the sun on a nice day, and the pink lightning was calming to look at. He strolls back to the hole and looks up 'I didn't hear anything turning off…' He looks down at the orb glowing in his hand '... I wonder…' He jumps, launching the orb onto the next level before bracing for the sound of glass cracking. When nothing happens, he sighs, before backing away and facing the wall, then sprinting at it. He lunges onto the wall then springs off it with arms high. His hands catches onto the hole, before grunting as he pulls himself up.
Looking over at the orb, he picks it up before looking at the barrier, "Here goes nothing…" Holding it far away from him, he walks towards the barrier. The ball and shield meet, and instantly lightning arcs between them with loud screaming. Finn tries to pull back, but finds the orb stuck to the barrier. They glow, illuminating the whole room in a white light to an almost blindingly level. Finn closes his eyes and stumbles back, letting go and allowing the orb to be fully enveloped in the barrier as it wraps around the glass.
Then suddenly the barrier destabilised with a heavy thump, a visible wave of power surging away from the now missing barrier as the orb disintegrates. Finn stares at the now vulnerable core. Shaking his head, he readies his sword then sprints at the core before leaping at it, spearing his sword out. It sinks into the core, going straight through the metal cover, yet nothing happens. "... Do I need to hit it again?"
Suddenly a hiss fills his ears, and the split metal around his blade starts to glow orange, before flames jet out. Finn yanks his blade free before he could be burnt, watching the flame grow and grow, the metal getting hotter. Before it explodes in a massive fireball. Finn is launched, slammed into the wall. He falls to the floor, his vision blurring and his ears ringing.
Stunned, he pushes himself up, shaking his head as his senses slowly returns. The ground shakes in a muffled boom, and Finn's head returns back to normal. He snaps his head up, and stares at the core roaring on fire as sirens blare into his ears. Quickly sheathing his sword he scrambles up, finding the room below him is also in an inferno. He quickly spots a pipe in the wall, and starts to run to it. When the floor drops beneath him.
He gives a cry of shock as he drops, but is luckily able to grab onto the next square. He dangles above the raging fire filling the room below, the flames licking up at his feet. Another explosion rocks the robot, making Finn lose grip. His robot hand slides off, but his normal one remains before with a grunt of effort his able to get his hand back on the tile. He hurriedly pulls himself up, taking a look at the fires growing all around him before launching himself forward at the pipe.
He dives into it just as another explosion destroys the room he was in. The heat starts becoming unbearable for the hero, and forces him to start crawling. Then he feels his stomach drop. The pipe he was in collapses, landing him directly in front of spinning gears, threatening to crush him. He starts to slide towards it, but he whips his sword out and impales the pipe he was on, using it to hook himself. He looks around and locks his eyes onto a massive piece of broken metal to his right. Swinging on his blade, he uses momentum to eventually swing his body within reach of the metal, and promptly kicks it. It falls, bouncing a few times before landing in the gears. Sparks fly before the massive gears lock up, the metal jamming them up. Finn sighs, and pulls his sword free before dropping onto the gears, then climbing further inside the robot.
IceIce Queen stares in shock. She was watching her ice minions pathetically attack her Bubblegum Guardian while she waits for any sign of Finn in his when it had suddenly exploded. Her eyes remain glued on it as explosions rock the robots form, chaining down every part of it as a loud siren wails out. "Finn…" She shoots towards the robot, circling it as it starts to become enveloped in fire, eyes scanning for the hero.
Said human was currently climbing up some gears, hoping he is approaching an exit as several fires jet out below him, bellowing out like a welding torch. He spots another pipe, and quickly hops in it before frantically crawling through it. Then he sees a light, and he scrambles even faster. He pops his head out of the pipe and into a pile of large, multi-coloured balls. He climbs up them, realising he was in the head of the Bubblegum Guardian. He scrambles over the balls and starts wailing on some cracked black glass, an explosion having weakened it earlier.
It smashes under his efforts, and he darts onto the flaming shoulder. He peeks over the edge and despite not knowing where she is, starts screaming, "ICE QUEEN!!!" Luckily she hears his cries from the front of the robot, and darts around, frantically scanning for him before locking onto his form. She swoops at him, grabbing his arms and yanking him into the sky then away from the Bubblegum Guardian.
She brings him up, and hugs him tightly, "I thought you died!" Finn pushes away, looking at her with a guilty smile,
"Sorry." He then sighs, "You'll get use to eventually." A humongous bang blasts out of the giant, echoing across the land and making both of them snap their heads to it. A massive fireball rises off it as the whole Bubblegum Guardian becomes covered in flame and the siren cuts out. Like a massive torch, it was seen all across AAA, including the approaching Gumball and Fionna,
"I-impossible…" The prince mutters in disbelief.
It continues to burn before it collapses onto to its knees, causing a massive earthquake as it raises its hand as if reaching for help. Then it continues to topple forward, its flaming body smashing into the ground and causing an even more violent earthquake that threatens to collapse the mountain. Then it rests there, completely covered in fire.
Before exploding.
It was humongous. Several explosions the size of the mountain go off like fireworks, a massive shockwave accompanying every single one. They were visible, and blast away every cloud before smashing into Ice Queen. She screams, grabbing Finn and holding him tight as they are knocked out of the sky. They plummet, falling dangerously close to the ground before she is able to recover, quickly halting them before flying back up to take in the damage.
Their mouths drop. On the ground lays a black, soldering skeletal remains of the Bubblegum Guardian, a massive smoke cloud rising off it. The explosion had launched its metal like shrapnel, hundreds of large chunks were now embedded in the ground. But it had also launched it up. Falling from the sky was massive burning pieces of metal that crashed into the ground like a meteorite storm. Luckily, most was in the Ice Kingdom, and the cold snow quickly put out any fire.
Finn closes his mouth, "... I guess I was right when I said it was important." Ice Queen doesn't respond, making him look up at her. She had no emotion. What is a sign that she has a lot of emotions right now. She quickly drops, swooping down towards a rock before landing as she lets go of Finn. He turns to face her, "Now what?" He asks warily, causing her to look at him, hands starting to glow as magic surges through her.
"There is another one Finn. And it is sitting right on top of my home. I'd rather it not be destroyed like the previous one. Luckily, I've gained some magic." She says, grinning, before rocketing up. Finn can do nothing but stare as she flies towards her mountain.
She arrives in seconds, glaring at the second Bubblegum Guardian as it starts rising, the first ones explosion having wiped out most of her army, leaving only a few stragglers. But they were doing their jobs as the Bubblegum Guardian remains focused on them and not Ice Queen, giving her the opportunity to summon an ice spell.
Even from the distance Finn was, he could feel the temperature drop, to the point where his breath revealed itself to the world. Ice Queen's hands glowed a bright blue, as she suddenly crouches, then slams her open hands onto the ground. Ice shoots out from her, yet only a centimetre tall as it snakes its way towards the recovering Bubblegum Guardian, who was now sitting and was about to push itself up fully when the ice sneaks directly behind it. And shoots up as a massive spike of ice as thick as the robot.
It pierces through the back of the Bubblegum Guardian and lifts it up as it still rapidly grows. The robot goes limp, arms and legs dangling underneath it as it is lifted high into the sky chest first. The spire doesn't stop, only getting larger and larger as it rockets into the heavens, the growth causing the ground to vibrate a little. It shoots past the height of Ice Queen's mountain.
Eventually it halts, but only when it was twice as tall as the mountain and nearly as thick. On top of it rests the impaled remains of the Bubblegum Guardian, in a view so clear that everyone in the whole of AAA could see it clearly. But then Ice Queen gives a cry, and her hands glow with even more magic.
Spikes start growing on the spire, climbing up it until it reaches the Bubblegum Guardian. Nothing happens at first, but a few seconds later five massive ice spikes grow out the side of the robot like a star. Then its form buckles and bends, before more spikes start shooting through it. Then the tip of the sphere becomes a sphere, covered in spikes as large as the Bubblegum Guardian, the entire spire becoming a massive morning star. And it grew from inside the dead machine and then outwards, tearing it to shreds from the inside out. The massive robot becomes giant metal ribbons that rain down onto Ice Queen's mountain.
Ice Queen sighs, and removes her hands, but not before sending one final ice command. She turns around, and starts walking towards Finn as the entire spire crumbles behind her, smashing into the ground and causing an earthquake. A few seconds later, a shockwave from the impacts smashes into her, blowing her hair in front of her and surrounding her with a blizzard, darkening her face except her now glowing eyes. Eventually it ends, and she takes flight, shooting towards Finn.
She lands in front of him, and grins creepily at the slightly scared hero. "Well, that is my Kingdom defended Finn~ We should celebrate~" She leans in close to him, but he places his hands on her shoulders and pushes her back.
"You've got magic madness, haven't you?" 'That spell must of been more than what magic she had in reserve' The Ice Queen takes a step back, shocked,
"Even you don't want to date me?!" Finn sighs 'yep, she's got magic madness' He looks up at her, finding her hands glowing.
He leaps at her, sweeping her off her feet. She screams a second before realising she was in a bridal position, then wraps an arm around Finn and pulls herself close, murmuring as the spell she was about to make dissipates. Finn sighs, and starts walking towards the Ice Kingdom 'Huntress will know how to handle magic madness' He starts the long trek back, looking over the environment, the damages from the fight he failed to prevent.
Burning metal polka dotted the land, and massive sharp shards of metal stand erect from the ground. There was a massive semi-burning skeletal body of the first Bubblegum Guardian still laying on the floor, and all around it was scorched land. Decorating the mountain was also the torn, massive chunks that was the second Bubblegum Guardian. And finally there was the remains of the spire, also in massive chunks but also piled on top of each other, meaning that removing the wrong one could cause a collapse. And then if that were to melt, it could very much lead to a flood.
He sighs, halting a second as he closes his eyes, "Why the long face dear?~" She leans up to his ear, whispering, "We're about to celebrate after all~" Finn shivers, flinching away,
"Erh… It's just the long walk! I'm disappointed that we can't celebrate earlier-" He sees a mischievous look in her eyes, as she tugs at her dress, "- But I want to celebrate in your room! To make it more… romantic?" He awkwardly suggests, making Ice Queen sigh and lean into him,
"Oh you're so charming~" Finn shivers again, and speeds up his walk to Huntress.
When he spots a black line shooting through the sky.
It suddenly changes trajectory, and heads straight for him. Finn panics, and tries letting go of Ice Queen to pull his blade free but she grabs his arms, keeping them onto her, "Now is not the time!" He tells her, but it was too late as the black line lands in front of him and circles the hero, trapping him in. And in front of Finn sat Gumball and a wide eyed staring Fionna.
"Finn-" Ice Queen stares at the Prince, making the royal flinch back, "Oooh, another guy~" That snaps Fionna to her senses, and she wraps her arms around Gumball,
"I'm taken."
"Well fine, be that way…" Ice Queen mutters. The prince looks away from her and stares at Finn, who returns with a small glare,
"What do you want Gumball?" The prince doesn't respond, instead having a silent staring contest with the hero,
"... I am willing to hear what you have to say. BUT! You will be in the candy prison as you explain yourself." Finn grimaces,
"That sounds like a trap Gumball. Besides, you come after we defeat all your best defences... to do a thing I initialised... to say what I've been saying to you this entire time... then say demands at me?" Finn shakes his head. "No Gumball. We are going to talk but I'm not going to do it in a cell, we are going to the Ice Kingdom, and we're going to chat there." The prince looks behind him at the Ice Kingdom, or mainly the obliterated Bubblegum Guardians, before looking at Finn,
"That place ain't exactly safe for me eith-"
"Gumball, lets just go." Fionna says bluntly 'If I did attack an innocent, then I've got to make it up with him. Even if it means accepting his demands'
The Prince hesitates, before looking at the hero, "Get on." Finn just stares at Lord Monochromicorn, then at Ice Queen tugging at her dress sexually. He approaches them, planning to go behind Fionna. "In front of her, I want her to be able to see what you are doing encase you try anything." Finn sighs, and jumps onto his ride, putting himself behind a now shivering Fionna. He sits unstably, as despite his best efforts, Ice Queen was simply refusing to let go of him.
"Hey Ice Queen, could you grab Gumball? So we don't fall?" He suggest, making her smile disappear, a slight frown appearing as her hands glow, "You get to touch another man." She instantly wraps her arms around Gumball. The prince looks other his shoulder in disgust, making Finn lean in,
"Ignore it for now, she's suffering from magic madness. Get us to the Ice Kingdom, I'm hoping Huntress Wizard can do something." Gumball scoffs, but orders,
"To the Ice Kingdom!" Unknown to him, Fionna was shivering behind Finn in fear, staring at him 'Snap out of it!' Yet, try as she might, she can't seem to summon the will power to touch him, let alone wrap her arms around him so she doesn't fall off mid-flight
Lord suddenly launches himself, startling the girl as they rise high up, arms waving as she struggles to stay on. And she fails. She leaves the back, going to the air high above the ground as she screams in terror, all because she couldn't get over her fear and grab Finn. But he grabs her.
The moment she screamed, he had snapped around to check up on her, and upon seeing her in trouble, he shoots to the rescue, snapping his arm off Ice Queen to dart his hand at hers. His hand grasps hers then yanks her towards him, pulling her back onto the back. This all happened in less than a second, and by the time Gumball and Lord had turned their heads she was already getting seated again. She was shaking, wide eyed at her near death sentence as Finn forcefully wraps her hands around his chest. Gumball looks back worried, then yells at Lord Monochromicorn, "Lets hurry!" The ride puffs smoke out his nose, before shooting through the sky like a lightning bolt.
They shoot through the hole in the mountain, and quickly enter the hollow space before the mansion. Gumball pauses, tugging a bit on Lord to slow down as he looks the are over, "Support pillars? So that is how she keeps the place up." 'Handy to know if I need to bring this place down' Gumball analysed, using the opportunity to spy on Ice Queen, defending his kingdom from threats always being on the forefront of his mind. But wasn't the only thoughts he has, also marvelling at the sheer scale of everything.
Then they start to approach the mansion itself. His eyes scan it over as they land, before he hops off and starts approaching things, giving them a thorough look over. They were on a massive bridge made of pale blue ice, with fences of the same colour going around the perimeter as guard rails. He approaches one, finding that it was actually highly detailed, and seemed to go all long till the entrance of the mansion.
"Like I said, she wants to improve herself." Finn says calmly staring at the prince, making him rise silently and look around some more. He finds a blue cylinder with a hole, presumably an elevator, rising high above him to some room, then a winding path.
"This doesn't say anything about her past, her crimes, and what she still might do…" Gumball says staring at Finn with a frown, "... But it could be a sign." With that he turns sharply and starts walking across the large bridge, a smiling Finn behind him. Till he realises something, and spins around to find Fionna still on Lord Monochromicorn.
He walks towards her, and is a second later accompanied by Gumball, a worried look on his face. "Fionna, are you alright?" He asks, snapping Fionna out her trance, who then looks at him with an obviously forced smile,
"Sorry, just some shock." She says, laughing nervously as she finally climbs of Lord, but quickly shoots pass the others and speed walks straight towards the mansion doors. Behind her, both men look at her with worry, before walking after her.
She opens the doors. And is greeted by a furry white and orange line stretched taught across the room. "CAKE!" Fionna shouts, instantly recognising the colour scheme anywhere as she grabs onto it. She locks up before spinning around to look at Finn with an enraged expression,
"Easy! She is most probably just unconscious or stretched to her limit. I told Huntress not to harm her." Fionna rises angrily, pointing a finger at him with Milly's gauntlet still on,
"If you hurt my sister!-"
"What I hope Huntress hasn't! But for us to know that we need to talk to her." He calmly replies, before looking down the destroyed corridor. Then looks the other way to look down another damaged corridor. "... HUNTRESS! WHERE ARE YOU!?" He shouts, making everyone flinch and grumble. Just as Finn was about to apologise, he gets a reply. In the form of flute music.
Its calming tunes flow through the mansion, much to the confusion of Gumball and Fionna as they look around warily. But Finn just gets a small grin 'That is the same tune we played together to summon the spirit of the forest'
He immediately shoots down the left corridor with Ice Queen in hand, and a few seconds later Gumball and Fionna pursue him. He takes twists and turns, taking large steps over Cake's tail as he follows the sweet song of longing. That was something only he knew about, a little secret between him and her… and Jake, but he wasn't here. She was playing a song of longing that only he would hear 'We should totally play again after this' Slowly the music gets louder as he approaches, and flinging his arm back he opens his bag and pulls his own flute out. He then looks down at Ice Queen still in his other hand, who was staring him in the eyes. "Hey Ice Queen, would you mind walking a sec?"
"YES." She says, pulling herself closer to Finn, who stares down in annoyance. When an idea strikes him,
"Then how tightly can you hold onto me?" She giggles and wraps her arms and legs around him, latching onto the hero who removes his arm. Sure enough, she is able to hang off of him, making him smile as he brings his flute to his mouth. Music flows forth, mixing perfectly with Huntress's melody as he slowly approaches the doors leading to the stage room. Gumball walks ahead, getting annoyed by the music as he opens the massive doors and entering inside first.
What he sees is a bunch of men staring at him with confusion, what then develops into fear and anger, and Huntress Wizard resting next to them, playing some lightning shaped flute with her eyes shut. Finn hurriedly walks behind Gumball before anything can happen, still playing his flute as his eyes lock onto Huntress. She opens her eyes and looks at Finn, ending her song as she shoots him a smile.
Then a glare at Gumball, pushing herself to a rise, "Easy Huntress! I'll explain everything in a second, but first I could use some help." He says, looking down at Ice Queen as she clings onto him. Huntress stares at her for a second, before finally walking over to him,
"I'm presuming that this is magic madness?" Finn nods in reply,
"Yeah, she had to do a massive spell to destroy a Bubblegum Guardian." She sighs. She wouldn't say it aloud, but she was worried for him, especially when a massive earthquake shook the place. "... So how do we help her?" Finn asks, noticing the glare Huntress was getting from the Ice Queen for getting too close to her man.
"She needs to be asleep to recover. So this." She explains, and whips out the frying pan from behind her back and smacks the royal around the head. She drops to the floor unconscious, a slightly shocked Finn staring as Huntress examines the pan. "Maybe I chose the wrong hunting weapon…" She shrugs at the thought and drops her weapon.
Finn finally snaps out of his stunned state, and sighs, bagging his flute before reaching down and picking the queen up. He turns to find an annoyed Gumball and a fidgety Fionna, "... Huntress, where is Cake? They can go grab her as I explain everything to you." She turns to them, saying plainly,
"In the garden, you should find her unconscious under a rock. Free her, then slowly back track to un-stretch her." They both spin and rush away, jogging to go help their friend's/sister's aid. Finn sighs and turns to look at Huntress, or mainly her injuries such as the cheek scratches and torn clothing.
"You're injured."
"This is nothing to me Finn. I-" Finn drops Ice Queen gently before he digs into his bag, pulling out several bottles of cyclops tears, handing her one before looking past her, staring at the men.
"They're injured as well." Huntress sighs,
"Sorry Finn, I'm not used to protecting others." He grabs her arm and calmly turns her pulling her towards them before letting go,
"It's fine Huntress, it's partly my fault for failing to stop this… sooner at least."
"Yeah about that, why is Gumball here? Is he here to settle this violently or peacefully?" Finn sighs, approaching the men and popping a bottle open,
"He is here to talk peace I think, or at the very least he is giving me a chance to explain myself." The first person to get his aid was the man with the broken leg, as Finn unwraps Huntress's cape off the limb and starts pouring the tears to the leg. Magically, the leg starts healing, correctly setting the bone and everything, and was back to normal within seconds. Finn gives Huntress back her cape as she applies the tears to her wounds, before moving to heal the other men. Or would if one of them didn't halt his movement by grabbing his hand,
"Don't. There is no need, these are only shallow cuts, they can heal naturally. Save them for something more important."
"Guys, just let me heal-"
"No. First you spared us. Then you gave us gold. Then you gave us a place where we could get jobs, and possibly live a normal life. We can't take anymore Finn."
The hero hesitates, still gently pushing the bottle to them unknowingly, before eventually nodding, moving the bottles back into his bag. He then turns and walks pass Huntress, picking up Ice Queen from the floor and bringing her over to everyone else. He rests her unconscious body against the wall, and the men instantly shuffle away but still look her over. "Guys, she might be your new ruler…" Finn starts, but instantly notices that despite their fear, they were still remaining close-ish, and were giving her more of an analytic look. Huntress speaks up as she dabs some cyclops tears onto the last of her wounds,
"You better actually get use to her now, instead of when she wakes up." It was then she turns her eyes to Finn, and this time she was the one staring at wounds. She towers over the boy as he collapses against the wall, and pushes the bottle at him, making him smile at her actions.
"Thanks."
With that, he starts attending his wounds. "So how long have you two been dating?" A man abruptly asks, making the two freeze up, before Finn speaks up for them,
"We're not dating." The man in question raises an eyebrow,
"Boy, I've been married for years and I've seen men get married, I know what love looks like. So really, how long have you been dating?" Huntress shakes her head,
"No Finn is right, we're not dating... But we have been working with each other for a while now." She shrugs, "We have to trust each other with our lives, and it is maybe that level of trust you're mistaking for love." The man stares at her for a second, and the emotion mask she has been wearing for years does its job, the man shaking his head,
"Sorry for presuming-"
"No, it's fine." They all become silent as they either wait for Gumball and Fionna to return, or wait for Ice Queen to wake.
"... Anyone know any jokes?"
Meanwhile Fionna was staring at the ice forest, the winter wonderland ruined by the white and orange tail entangled and caught on everything. "Fionna!" Gumball shouts, catching the humans attention. In front of the prince was Cake's still unconscious body, laying underneath a heavy looking stone. Fionna rushes at the downed feline, hands grabbing the underside of the stone and flipping it off before checking for damages. Gumball hums in thought, inspecting Cake.
"Well!? Is she alright!?"
"Hmm… yep, I see the problem. Cake is lazy." Gumball suddenly claps his hands, "Cake get up." The feline groans, and rolls onto her side
"Nooo… its too early…"
"We have catnip." She snaps up, eyes wide as she locks onto him, "Where!" She finds everyone staring at her, including her boyfriend. "Oh, hey guys!... What are we doing?" She looks around, and her memories return as she sees her super stretched tail. "Oh my glob I remember! Wait! If you're here… then did we win!?"
Gumball sighs, shaking his head. "No, they are both still alive and well…and they destroyed both Bubblegum Guardians." Cake's mouth dropped,
"What!? Did I Just Hear That Right!?" Gumball grumbles in annoyance,
"Yes Cake, and in massive, hard to miss spectacles as well, so now everyone in AAA knows I'm defenceless!" Cake looks around, then back at the Prince,
"Then what are we doing here then?" Gumball sighs,
"I'm entering peace talks with them." Cake's eyes widen,
"What!? You can't! Not with those demons!" Fionna then walks up to Cake, helping her to her feet,
"Actually… Gumball did a test on our hairs… his…" She looks at the prince,
"DNA." Gumball drones.
"DNA matches mine, the only difference being our gender... His story might of been true." Fionna sadly explains, dropping to sit on the floor, "I've might of been attacking an innocent person Cake." Her sister instantly hugs her. After a few seconds she pulls away,
"Feeling better?" She nods.
"Good… So how about we go about unwrapping my tail?" And so began that long chore, the group slowly unwinding the caught feline.
Ice Queen blinks, her head slightly fuzzy as she pushes herself to a stand. But something felt wrong, yet familiar. Looking down she sees water, "Ah, Sarah time… what means-" Sure enough the massive maze inside the crown forms, sprouting from the ground. She sighs as she feels a pull coming near the heart of the maze, and starts walking towards it. Corner after corner, she snakes towards the source of the call. And finds Simone sitting on the floor, her back resting against the golden walls. She looks up at the water nymph with slight worry in her eyes,
"Bad news, so you better take a seat." Sarah doesn't, instead standing tall in front of her,
"What's the problem?"
"The tiara… as you know it can allow me to semi see into the world." Sarah nods,
"Well… I'll be honest… I don't like the fact you caused pain for Marshall by making the others fight him." Sarah become furious upon hearing that,
"He was attacking my friends!"
"I know! But keep it to a minimum… because it seems the tiara wants to punish you a little."
"What do you mean by that?" Sarah asks, causing Simone to sigh,
"Well, it made my cries for Eddie make you mad, and it knew you hated that. But it also knows I will try to stop it from affecting you. So it's doing two curses, and I'll tell you bluntly that I only have the willpower to stop one." Sarah grimaces at the news, yet still remains standing,
"So I get to choose my curse? What are my options?"
"The first one is the man lusting problem, the same as before. The second one… is to be constantly worrying or helping Marshall Lee."
"What!?"
"Another sick thing this tiara has done. It knows I care about Marshall as if… he was my son… and it knows you hate people holding you back or attending 'useless' things." Sarah sighs, bringing a hand to rub at her forehead. "... Can I ask something of you?" The water nymph looks her in the eyes, "... Choose Marshall, please! I… I want him to be safe! When this blasted tiara kept me prisoner, it left him alone! The abandonment! I can see what it did to him!" She lunges onto Sarah, tears in her eyes.
"Hey! Eas-"
"Please! Tell me you'll look after Marshall!"
"... You do realise that he is no longer a kid right?"
"Yes! But everyone needs a shoulder every now and then… and I wasn't there for him. And you saw what your friends did, he is not invincible. So please! Protect him! help him!... Because I can't." Sarah doesn't reply, just looking at the girl as she clings to her watery form. With a sigh she closes her eyes.
Ice Queen opens her eyes in the real world. Right next to her was Finn, who was talking to some men. And she wasn't lusting at them. Except maybe Finn, but that is just her old crush. She looks around, discovering she was in the ballroom much to her confusion. Until the sight of the frying pan on the floor reminds her. "Oh… oops." Her sudden talking gets everyone's attention, who all spin around to look at her. Finn was instantly in front of her, looking her in the eyes with concern.
"Ice Queen! Are you Ok?"
"Yes… Being unconscious helped recover my magic a bit. But uh… sorry Finn about my actions."
Finn stands with a smile, shoving her worries away with a flick of his wrist, "Nah, it's all good." Ice Queen sighs in relief, and looks at the men with confusion,
"So what's with the dudes?" They all flinch a little under her gaze, much to her annoyance.
"They, Ice Queen, are some poor people I found-"
"Bandits." Huntress interrupts, making everyone look at her, "They're bandits that tried robbing Finn." Ice Queen scowls at them, causing them all to back up in fear,
"I see… well I have a dungeon here. It had… an alternative use, but I think it should only take me a moment to change that." She says, rising as her hands starts to glow. Finn leaps in front of her, placing both hands on her shoulders to halt her advance,
"NOnononono, easy Ice Queen." She raises an eyebrow, her look asking for explanation as she backs away. "They were doing it out of desperation, but I helped them out! They're cool now."
"And? Why should they remain here then?"
"So they could have a job and not rely on crime? Besides, if they and their families live here, then you could actually be recognised as a royal with subjects." His suggestion makes her hum in thought, and she looks over him at the men. They instantly straighten, tidying their torn clothes as they smile their broken teeth at her.
"They want to redeem themselves, just like you do. Give them a chance like I gave you one." His little guilt trip sways her, signalled by a sigh as she turns her gaze back to him.
"Fine, I'll give them a chance. But! If they start doing anything suspicious-"
"We won't!" Ice Queen snaps her head to the man, who instantly backs away. "... Mam… We won't spit on Finn's gift." She sighs.
"Alright, stay in this mansion for a few days, I'll create you and whatever families you might have actual homes later." They all nod, saying words of thanks when she turns to Finn,
"I don't know if it was my magic madness or not, but was Gumball and Fionna here?" Finn sighs,
"Yes, they want to do a peace talk with us." Ice Queen laughs loudly as she closes her eyes and looks up, before quickly recovering,
"I think us destroying his favourite flashy toys has him scared." Finn shrugs.
"I also left him my hair for him to compare with Fionna's, so he might actually believe my story. I don't really care which one has him talking peacefully, as long as he is actually going to listen to us explain the situation." Ice Queen sighs,
"Well where are they then? I kinda want to get this over and done with so I can sleep."
"They're currently unwinding Cake from your home." She tuts, and turns around, looking at the men as she extends a hand towards them.
"Well, I'm your queen for the moment. But I don't know anything about you, what I hope we can rectify."
The lead man quickly rubs his hand on a clean-ish piece of his clothing, before extending it and shaking the royal's. "Pleasure to meet you my queen, I'm Joe, guess you could say I'm the leader of the us." The other men start lining up, quickly prompting her to shake all their hands,
"Jeff."
"Billy."
"Samuel."
"Jim."
"Harvey." She nods with a smile at every single one 'I guess I should actually do this, try to be a royal! A queen!' The rooms doors smash open, making everyone turn their heads as Cake, Gumball and Fionna walk in. Cake glares at Huntress as she sits down, but the woman doesn't care as she rises and stretches. Ice Queen quickly gets up and starts walking,
"Joe, you and your men can do what you want for a bit, I need to have a chat with another royal. Everyone else, follow me. I should have a room with seats for us." She walks out the room, giving no room for complaints as everyone scrambles behind her.
She shoots down the corridors, making a mental note of all the damages her home had sustained as she goes. Eventually she bursts into the room filled with several long tables, designed for her penguin servants to eat at. "Take a seat." She orders, quickly taking one herself. Finn gives her a look of worry at her attitude, but ignores it for now as he sits next to her, with Huntress sitting next to him. Fionna, Gumball and Cake sit to mirror them, and after a second of staring at each other Finn speaks up,
"So, you believe my story?"
"Not fully. We'll have a proper questioning later, but for now we would like to propose a truce until then. Once the questioning is complete, we'll decide how things will go from there." Ice Queen scowls,
"Once we prove that Finn is innocent, you will have to pay reparations for the damage you have done to my kingdom Gumball." She spits slightly, her anger quite visible as her face scrunches up and she points a finger at the royal.
"How about we discuss that later? After all, it wouldn't matter if Finn is evil-"
"What he isn't." Ice Queen snaps back, making the candy prince glare at her,
"High and respectable words coming from someone with your past and reputation!"
"Enough!" Finn cuts in, already being able to tell how the conversation was going to go, both royals look at Finn with slight annoyance, "Ice Queen, I know you're mad about the Ice Kingdom being damaged-"
"It's more than that Finn!" She looks at Gumball, her anger growing with every word: "I've been cursed, and abandoned for hundreds of years, every time someone looked at me it was one of fear or disgust. Then, one day, I was as my normal mad self, doing a task I had failed hundreds of times before yet doing it again. Then something else happened. I met a hero, someone who wasn't afraid despite what I had done to him, who didn't look at me full of disgust, he saved me. Then he went even further, as despite me attack him, trying to kill his friends, trying to play mind games on him, making… advances on him, he continued to help me."
She leans over the table, shoving her face directly in front of Gumball's, "He became my best friend, my hero, my knight. And then you tried to hurt that man." She pulls away, looking at a shocked Finn, "You've done a lot for me. I owe you."
Suddenly the doors smash open, and in walk the six men, walking directly behind Ice Queen. Joe shadows behind Ice Queen, staring Gumball in the eyes. "We are thieves. Bandits. I'll be the first to admit it. But we were desperate, suffering, yet no one gave a damn. You and the other royals left us and our family to die after a bandit raid, saying 'You have more important things'. Then we attacked Finn. He didn't retaliate, he didn't cut us down, but instead helped us get away from our crime life. We also owe that man. He saved our families from sleeping with empty stomachs, gave mercy when no one else would, and gave us a future. If you call a man like that evil, then I question your morality."
Gumball stares aghast, and Finn could see the many gears in his head turning in thought, digesting the information he was given. Ice Queen smirks 'I think I'll actually enjoy my people' Finn shakes his head, "Guys, you don't owe me anything, but thank you for standing up for me…" He turns and faces Gumball, "Question me Gumball, I want this to end so I can go back to doing what I do best: saving peeps." Gumball looks at Finn, his stubbornness crumbling after their words,
"Fine, but Fionna will also have to be there… and we will probably have to go to the Candy Kingdom anyways." Finn nods in acceptance, willing to do anything to help end this without any more carnage. Ice Queen speaks up however,
"Do you have to do it in the Candy Kingdom? Can you not do it here? Because I'll be frank here Gumball, I don't exactly trust you." Gumball mutters, before answering,
"No, I suppose we can do it here. But that will require us to travel to the Candy Kingdom, then back again, it would be quicker to do it back there in one trip." Ice Queen shoots finger guns at him,
"You lost." The prince grumbled in annoyance, muttering obscenities at the queen before speaking up,
"Yes, I lost! We'll do it here! Does that satisfy you?" She smirks in reply. "Then we will be back tomorrow to question Finn, use the opportunity to rest." The prince gets up from his seat, his companions hurriedly following him as they leave the room. As the doors come to a close, Ice Queen sighs, before turning to the men,
"I thought I said only for Finn and Huntress to follow me."
"You said for us to do what we want. We wanted to defend Finn." Said hero shakes his head, blushing in slight embarrassment, before talking,
"Well… that is that. We have peace with Gumball." Huntress smiles behind him, looking at Ice Queen,
"Told you he could do it. And I know just the way to celebrate: Sleeping." There was a chorus of worn-out cheers of agreement.
Alright, if you are wondering why I put the discord link at the start, it was because my beta reader suggested I do it. Thanks monkeydad. This link is a permanent, infinite inv link so it should work. If you get any errors, just like how the last one wasn't working, let me know.
Sorry that the fight between Finn and the Bubblegum Guardians wasn't longer, but I think it is better not drawn out.
So, maybe one or two more chapters till arc1 is complete, then I'll remaster chapter 1. And yes, I'll be adding stuff to it, so you should still probably go back and check it out if you can. I'll update the description of Incrementum to let you know when I've updated it.
Arc 2 will be a bit more… interesting, and I have hinted at it a few times actually so far, just I don't think anyone picked it up (Except maybe one).
Now the explosion of the first Bubblegum Guardian is like the explosion of the ship from Subnautica, just encase any of you wanted to know what it looked/sounded like.
Review response:
The Book of Eli, on FF, ch 22:
His only ally was a glove it is actually pretty funny when you put it that way XD
I told you I was going to put the DNA in! I do actually read and think about what people say in my reviews, and I do try to remember them as best as I can.
Yep :) We humans do love lazy pets
Yeah, Huntress and Ice Queen will do as Finn requested to the best of abilities, but if push came to shove they would defend themselves.
I hope the massive robot fights were epic enough!
Claz7960, on FF, Chapter 22
Glad that you like the schedule being restored! Let me give a reply worth the review shall we:
Pleased to hear that you liked the fight that wasn't really a fight XD Sorry that I haven't used Milly's gauntlet to its max potential. Fionna is terrified of Finn because he 'killed' her, that is why she can still fight and isn't scared of Huntress. Something similar would happen to Finn if someone actually killed him, but I think he would handle it even better since he is older and more experienced. I'm sure Fionna could recover from her trauma if she had help, but as we saw with Finn and Fern, many in OOO just brushed his problems off, PB even sent Finn to kill just seconds after saying he couldn't. Yeah the reason why Gumball came so close to winning was because Finn wasn't fighting back. I'm pretty sure our hero could defeat him in seconds if he really wanted to.
Admittedly, the guys (Joe, Jeff, Billy, Samuel, Jim, Harvey) weren't much help. Huntress wanted to be hard meat, so she trained herself aggressively to become an unkillable as possible, against a lazy cat. Yeah a reason why I put Huntress questioning her victory in so early is because it will pop up soon.
Glad you like the angry bear! Everyone has a limit, and Gumball/Fionna had just hit Finn's. Lets hope they remember them in the future. Gumball is willing to do anything for his kingdom, even get his hands dirty. Of course, this was his own thoughts, and his outside is still that depiction of being the ultimate good.
Glad you liked the humour, and to be honest I think the mushroom war happened after the year 2000, what was when the infamous nokia brick was made, so it could be an actual joke in the show.
Glad you liked the chapter!Don't worry about the discord, it doesn't bother me too much. It is there if anyone wants to join but there is no need or reason to actually join it (Except for updates).
Monkeydad, I leave the rest of the reply to you.
cloudpanda961, on FF, chapter 22:
Thanks for the compliment! Don't worry I'll keep going.
Yeah, it's a shame. Oh well.
P.S. I hope that you liked the turning down on the descriptive language :)
Dreyfuss Kiroven, on FF, chapter 22:
That is some high praise! Thank you!
Don't worry, it would take breaking a cosmic crime and being sent to the citadel to stop me from writing this story.
Also, thanks for your opinion, I will try not have a fight as long as that again. Let me know if anything else bothers you! It helps me become a better writer.
I will keep this going as long as I can and as epic as I can, don't you worry :)
