VERY IMPORTANT: Have a look at my profile for a second story, it's LEWDS of Finn and Huntress! Enjoy your present everyone~
As is the case with the night-o-sphere, a new fire explodes into life in the red environment, triggering new light to shoot through the landscape, and eventually bounce inside of a certain cave. Finn murmurs as his eyes slowly open, finding a new soft light gently shining in his eyes as a morning alarm, triggering him to do a yawn so big his body shakes. He feels a weight upon him once more, and with a pleased smile looks down to find Huntress sleeping calmly on him, her peaceful expression filling him with joy for some reason, 'I don't know why, but I think that suits her…' Then his eyes drift to Ice Queen, who was also sleeping on him.
Until her eyes snapped open and stares at him, causing Finn to jump a little in shock, a reaction that makes the royal smirk, "Your yawn woke me up." He blushes in embarrassment, looking away for a second as the woman shakes her head at him, but then she scans the igloo. Everyone else was asleep with Cake snoring in the corner, making the royal grin as she turns to face him once more, "We're alone my knight~"
He goes wide eyed and gains a deep blush as she stares with a small smile, gazing into his the eyes as she crawls up him. He panics a little, and begins discretely shaking his other arm in hopes of waking Huntress, hoping the nymph being awake would deter Ice Queen from her actions without creating an argument or a scene. The royal however continues with her approach, her grinning face slowly approaching Finn's panicked one. Her lips were mere inches away from his, and she begins to pucker up to kiss the hero as he panics a little, now getting more forceful in shaking his arm in an attempt to wake Huntress up.
Suddenly Ice Queen snaps back while trying her best not to laugh, "I'm just messing with you Finn!" The hero stares wide eyed, then sighs before chuckling, realising that the royal was just messing with him, 'Good, I was about to shove her back… I think… why didn't I think about stopping her kiss?' He quickly banishes those thoughts, then smiles at her,
"You actually got me there." He informs her with a chuckle, making her smirk, yet she still looks away for a second, 'Does he want to date me? He looked pretty scared then…'
A groan catches their attention as they both snap their eyes at Huntress, watching her finally stir with a moan, eyes still closed as massive bags sit under them. He winces a little, 'Nearly dying should of drained her, and having to replenish her magic with her sleep meant none went to recharging her… no wonder she was hard to wake up then.' He beams at her, and through her groggy vision she notices, making her give a weak one in return as he chuckles.
He sits up, resting his back against the cold wall as he lets her use his legs as a pillow, resting for a bit longer. Finn looks around and spots his bag, and trying his best to not disturb the wizard on his lap he reaches out for it, making Ice Queen giggle, "Hold on, I got this." She stands up and walks over to it, making Finn smile and rest a hand on the snoozing Huntress, beaming at her,
"Thank you." That's all it takes to make the lonely royal's heart to flutter, and joyfully pick the bag up before dropping it down next to Finn.
He grabs the bag and opens it up, peeking inside as he reaches for an object within, then quickly pulling out the last of the preserved meat. He stares at it, 'We're all hungry after not really eating yesterday.' He immediately takes a bit off and hands it to Huntress with a smile, hovering it above her face teasingly as she opens her eyes to stare at it. She glares a little, causing Finn to smirk as it continues to hold it above her, "Come on, we're doing that thing where I feed it to you." He continues to tease, making Huntress smirk a little as an idea comes to her mind. She opens her mouth and he grins, dropping it inside, yet she snaps her mouth shut half way, catching it. Finn stares in slight puzzle, until Huntress sits up, staring him in the eyes as she slowly approaches with the meat in her mouth, 'Not the most romantic thing, but oh well.' Finn's eyes widen as she approaches, "Oh no, you're not-"
Ice Queen jumps on him, holding him still as Huntress grins, giving her a thumbs up for the support. She pushes the jerky into his mouth, before biting her bit off, pulling back with a smirk, "I know the trope is with spaghetti and is accidental, but after that Finn I couldn't resist." He just silently chews his food, looking away in embarrassment as Ice Queen giggles, watching the others encase they wake up.
Finn swallows before staring at the royal in worry, "I've got some more food I think, you need to eat as well." Ice Queen attempts to brush his worry off, deliberately keeping her eyes locked off his in an attempt to prevent eye contact,
"It's fine Finn, I-" Finn immediately starts rummaging through his bag, and grins as he finds some preserved travel snack, immediately handing the bag full of nuts and other such things to the royal. She blinks, then takes the bag with a blush, pinching some food and eating it,
"... Thank you." Finn nods, then moves to the others, gently waking them all up and starting with his female version. He shakes her weakly, and she snaps up with wide eyes, throwing a fist at Finn in shock, what he easily dodges as it skims by his face. They both blink in shock, and Fionna blushes, laughing nervously as she pulls her arm back,
"He he, sorry." Finn shakes his head,
"It's no problem… though can I borrow your sword for a second?" The girl stares in confusion, but reluctantly hands her ice blade over, watching curiously as he grabs it by the blade with his metal limb and then approach Cake, gently tapping her with the handle. Luckily, she doesn't have a violent wake up as Fionna, prompting Finn to move on to calmly waking Butterscotch up. Fionna blushes, and looks away in embarrassment, her gaze drifting to Ice Queen as she peacefully eats Finn's nuts.
"... So… did you have a nice sleep last night?" She inquires, taking note of the sluggish movements of Huntress despite the royal next to her seemingly full of energy. Ice Queen snaps to Fionna as she speaks, and blushes for some random reason, cutely nibbling on some more of Finn's nuts,
"Yeah… it was nice…" Fionna raises an eyebrow,
"You sure?"
"Yeah… I had some… pleasant dreams." She explains, her blush growing even brighter as she remembers her sleep, confusing the human girl even more as she cocks her head before shrugging, 'Eh, just Ice Queen being weird.'
She turns to face her sister as she raids through her bag for some food, and quickly joins her as Finn leans her sword against the wall. He nods as they find something to eat, before heading his way to the nymph and royal awaiting for him, sitting down next to them as Ice Queen occasionally gives Huntress a nut. The nymph just accepts them, too busy looking over her arrows for damage as they lay on the floor, making Finn shake his head. He gazes at Ice Queen unendingly, and the moment she finally takes notice of his staring, he immediately gives her the puppy eyes.
She freezes up for a second, staring into the bright blue orbs for a few seconds, before flicking another nut into her mouth casually, "Nope, they're mine now." The hero gives up his act, sighing in disappointment as he looks at Huntress,
"... She's mean."
He gets a raisin flicked at his face.
Huntress smirks at their antics, before giving a tiny bit of magic to her arrows, repairing some small chinks to restore her trusty weapons to perfection. She nods in approval and bundles them back up in her quiver, then looks at Finn and Ice Queen. They were sitting together cutely, the royal giving in and placing the bag between them both as they both nibble from it. She beams at them, enjoying the sight of them both being enjoying the other's presence, 'Maybe we can make this work…'
But then she watches as IQ gets closer to Finn, making him sweat and discretely start to move away, '...Someday.' She looks to the others, and discovers them giving side glances at the duo, making her frown, 'They don't know our plan yet… but it is not right for them to know before Finn does.' For now she simply ignores it, deciding to instead use their confused and unsure gazes as training for her relationship with Finn.
Suddenly the hero gets up, groaning as he stretches and looks over everyone, "Right, quick plan! So if Hana, or Marshall Lee acting like Hana should I say, didn't bug out after seeing Ice Queen's spell, then he/she should be in the tower just outside. If we're lucky, we can just grab the amulet off him and get out with him before Hana even noticed. But first, Butterscotch: do you have enough magic to make a portal back?"
The butler nods, "I should now that I have rested master Finn." He nods,
"Great, so we can get out immediately! Right, Ice Queen, you think you can freeze him solid?" She nods with a slight grimace,
"Yeah, but I'll likely won't freeze his neck up so we can actually grab the amulet." Finn sighs,
"Then his mouth is still free, so he can still suck out our souls… quite literally." Everyone grimaces at that, yet Huntress stands up with a determined look,
"I'll use some vines, wrap his head up to keep his mouth shut. I've put muzzles on plenty of animals in my time as the forest watcher." Finn nods with a grin,
"Thank you Huntress. That leaves Fionna and Cake to get the necklace, just encase it's a bit of effort with him struggling. And Butterscotch, you're watching out for any spell he may try to pull. If you recognise any dark magic, yell and try to stop him."
Ice Queen gives him a curious look, "And you?"
"I'll be on watch duty, make sure no guards or anything will mess with our bizz." They nod, and huntress pulls an arrow free from her quiver, holding it out to Finn,
"Alright, can you sketch out the room?" Finn stands stumped for a few seconds, his brain struggling to remember the details,
"... Actually, the moment we climb the tower we'll be instantly in his room, as in straight away, so we better be prepared before scaling it." Huntress gives him a confused look,
"You sure? I would think someone with as much experience as Hana would have better security than that." She questions, making Finn shrug,
"Yeah, I'm sure… if I had to guess it's because she is a terrifying unaging super demon that could kill any intruder that dared step in her domain." A shiver went up pretty much everyone's spine, Huntress and Finn being the only one who were spared of the whisper of fear, 'And we're about to step into her domain…' They simultaneously think, causing Ice Queen to look up at Finn with worry, yet Huntress puts her arrow away casually,
"Then we need to do this quickly, hit him hard, tie his head up, and grab that necklace in less than a few seconds..." Finn nods, understanding what she is warning him, 'This will be hard to pull off.'
"Yet," He says, "I have complete faith in you." He sighed and looked around at everyone, noticing the slight wear and tear of exhaustion as it drains at their bodies, causing him to bite his lip in genuine worry, "Are we actually good to go? Or do we need to stay longer?"
Huntress actually glares a little, "We can't sit on our butts any longer Finn, we need to get going or they're just going to prepare a bigger force against us. I vote that we need no more rest." Ice Queen actually nods in agreement,
"We can't leave Marshall here any longer than he needs to be! We've got to save him before Hana moves him elsewhere!" The others watch in slight worry at the wizards as they stare intensely at Finn, making the hero wonder if their sleep truly did recover their magic, and they weren't currently suffering from madness. He bites his lip, 'But they do make good points… the mission requires us to move now! Yet the health of the squad…'
He has a choice, saving Marshall with the highest chances and lowest demon count but with a weakened squad. Or, wait a bit, risk missing the vampire, and run head first into a swarm of demons, yet with a strong group of reliable friends who are fully prepared.
He stands silently, then turns to look at Fionna, Cake, and Butterscotch as they stare at him, "... What do you three think?" 'I mean, an important part of leading is listening to your people's opinions on things, right?' The trio stared at each other in thought, silently communicating with the other members, then Cake gazes up at Finn,
"Well… I think we should wait a bit, nothing wrong with sleeping in a little more!" Fionna glances at an annoyed royal and Huntress, who both shift their disappointed stares and locks eyes with her, quickly beaming at her with the same thought, 'Young are impressionable, right?' The heroine admittedly becomes uncomfortable under their combined gaze, and quickly snaps her eyes at her male counterpart,
"... I think we should go now. I mean, I need to save Marshall!" Finn nods at her words while Huntress and Ice Queen fist pump behind him, before the hero then looks at Butterscotch.
She shakes her head at the hero, "I say we wait Finn, I'm a wizard and I can tell those two need more rest if they are to be at their max." She explains while pointing at the royal and nymph, who glare at her with Ice Queen standing up tall and raising a hand that begins to glow with magic.
"We're fine Butterscotch! Especially me! Just look at me, I can go on for a few days!" She yells confidently, her form suddenly becoming incredibly animated as she walks forward springily, "Huntress is just physically drained at most, walking and moving around will wake her up very quickly, because we definitely can't stay still in the middle of the night-o-sphere for long, that's just begging for trouble!" Butterscotch glares at the royal's counter argument,
"Even a slight delay to her reaction speed due to her being sluggish could mean life or death!" Finn flinches at that, yet he also recognises Ice Queen's argument,
'She's right, if we stay here too long then we're in trouble! And then Huntress will have to fight tired with no escape route. But at the same time there is no way I'm risking Huntress's life!' His gaze shifts to Ice Queen, and makes eye contact with her, "Finn, it's me, Huntress, and Fionna vs Cake and Butterscotch! We have a majority, and despite that butler's claim, Huntress knows her own limit. If she says she is good to go, she is good to go!" Finn sticks a hand up, silencing an argument before it could occur, then stares into the glowing green eyes of his OOO companion, walking towards her and placing his hands on her shoulders.
He gazes deeply into her feline orbs, "Are you good to go? And actually think about it, I don't want you getting hurt." She remains silent for a few seconds, her gaze shifting away as she seriously considers her state for his sake, something she never thought about doing before then, then locks eyes with him again,
"... I'm good to go Finn, I can do this." He sighs and backs away from her, turning to look at the others,
"... We need to go now, before they prepare for us. If they saw how powerful Ice Queen's spell was then they're definitely planning something big to counter us." Fionna nods determinedly, grinning as she grabs her ice sword from the wall,
"So prepare for an epic end of quest with a boss fight!" Finn nods with a slight grimace,
"Yeah, but more fighting isn't exactly a good thing Fionna." She sighs, 'Man, I forgot about trying to be peaceful… it is really easy to get into the fighting mood.' She frowns a little, 'What isn't Finn but better as we said I should be… I wonder… is it possible to mix violence and not punching buns?' She wonders, but is snapped out of it when Ice Queen claps in joy,
"Whatever, if there is some big guy stopping us then we can easily handle it! But let's get going because we need to save Marshall Lee!" She strolls towards the entrance and gets onto her knees, grimacing a little as she places her hands on the sealed up entrance.
With a simple mental command she melts the ice, turning it into raw magic that her body instantly absorbs to prevent a mess forming. With a slight grunt she climbs out and looks around the cave, finding it satisfyingly empty of demons before egressing the igloo completely. She stands tall at the entrance as the others start to funnel out as well, brushing her dress off as she spins to look at them, "So Butterscotch, what could they throw at us-" She then stops mid-sentence, staring at something that was behind everyone as they escape the shelter. Finn panics, and spins to confront whatever foe was awaiting for them, but freezes up as well.
"... Whoa." The others trace their gazes, and finds them staring at the igloo. And all the claw marks on it. There had to be hundreds of them, covering every inch of the shelter, and some were a couple of inches thick, no small accomplishment with how powerful Ice Queen's spells are...
Everyone except Huntress gapes, who walks forward and runs a hand over the white walls, "They've must have attacked in the night… how did none of us hear that?" Finn snaps out of his stupor, and shakes his head as he approaches,
"Doesn't matter, they might still be around so let's get going now. The last thing we need is to be fighting in a tight cave." She nods, and the group quickly rushes out of the cave on full alert, jumping out of the mouth while snapping their heads around in an attempt to spot anything waiting for them. When nothing leaps at them to rip their guts out they release a deep breath of relief, but then Ice Queen chuckles,
"I told you we should go immediately! If they've attacked the igloo then they definitely know we're here! We might not even find anyone inside that tower." Butterscotch glares a little but bites her lip to remain completely silent, instead scanning with some magic. Her eyes widen and she snaps her gaze at Finn,
"Finn, I'm detecting multiple demons in Hana's tower! And two are extremely powerful! Probably Marshall Lee and Hana, they haven't left yet!"
He snaps to the butler, "They haven't left yet? That's great! Maybe we can still do the original plan of getting in and out as fast as we can, so let's move it everyone!" They all nod, knowing that time was of essence, and scramble towards the tower, latching onto the black rock that makes it walls.
They start climbing determinedly, eyes locked on the top as Finn leads the way forward, knowing he remembers what hole they need to climb in. Fionna grins as she yanked herself up some more rocks, 'Don't worry Marshall, I'll save you! And Hana you butt! If you're there then I'm going to punch you in the buns! And I'm going to look so mathematical while doing it!' She grins, mentally checking to make sure her sword was on her back, before her eyes widen at a realisation, 'Gah I'm eager for a fight! Glob damn it, how can I be peaceful like I promised Finn when all I want to do is swing my weapons!? Being peaceful sounds great and all, but man is it hard to do!'
She looks at Finn, finding the hero climbing the rocks with ease, his own sword rocking on his back, '... But Finn doesn't do peaceful all the time… actually, I've seen him fighting a lot! The only time he was peaceful was when me and Gumball was wrong, with the bandits that spoke out for him at Ice Queen's castle… and with Ice Queen herself.' She shivers as she remembers how touchy the royal is with her male counterpart, 'Whatever! He has been fighting a lot here despite his claim… why is that? Why isn't he more peaceful?... Other than us leaving him no alternative.'
She flinches at her old attacks at him, and how that ended with her murder. She freezes up. Then continues onward, still staring at Finn curiously, 'So he fights a lot… yet he talked to me, and Ice Queen, and those bandits… so maybe it is both? But when do I have a friendly talk with someone and when do have some fun fighting something?'
Finn grimaces as he climbs the rocks, 'Just get this over and done with as fast as you can, Huntress has this! The quicker this is done, the sooner I get to worry about her back in our house.' He stops to repeat that in his head, then chuckles softly to himself, 'You dingus, she doesn't want someone babying her, and she doesn't need someone babying her, she can easily handle herself.' Just below him Huntress climbs the rocks, deliberately going slow as to stay in line with the others, and because she admittedly doesn't know the way.
She glances up at Finn tiredly, and smiles softly, 'The quicker we do this, the sooner Finn is in safety. I know leading a group through the Globbing night-o-sphere is taking a toll mentally on Finn, especially since he's not used to this. It was just him and Jake vs the world… but now I can help him as well. The sooner this is done, the better, because we can both then just relax at home, and worry about each other, as we should do. Heh… he might be the only person I'll ever let fret about me, it feels… nice when he helps me.'
Suddenly a head sticks out in front of them, startling the group as they look up in shock. It was Hana, her grey face grinning down at them. She looked striking like Hunson, just smoother with more curves that would match a feminine form, the only noticeable difference was that she was wearing two silver hoop earrings. She smirks, "Oh hello~" Huntress immediately shoots an arrow at the demonic woman, rocketing it directly at her face.
She simply grins and grabs it mid air, then crushes it, her face becoming one of a monstrosity. And then a second one joins her, its face near identical to her demonic one. Immediately Ice Queen's eyes widen in recognition, "Marshall…" She knows it is him, her heart and tiara was yelling at her it was, but just as she was about to leap at him, Hana raises her hand that glow with a sick green,
"No one leaves the night-o-sphere! And you can't leave if you're dead!" Finn instantly knew they were in trouble as his hand reaches for his sword, and he yanks it free from his back with a grimace, 'I can't reach them from here, however…' He holds his blade defensively, blunt side facing them as he defends everyone behind with his sword and body, 'I can protect them!'
The spell leaves Hana's hand, and it blinds Finn as it slams right in front of him, destroying the stone he was holding onto. Magic arcs out from the spell, yet somehow it all completely misses the hero, seemingly all heading towards his blade, what strangely happily absorbs all the magic.
Unfortunately however, the spell still obliterates the rock they were all hanging on as it all cracks and crumbles around them, making them all yell out in shock as they start to fall towards the ground. Finn grimaces as he spins in the air, looking at the tumbling others as he analyses the situation, 'How do I save them all!?' Then he spotted his blade. The eye in the hilt glowed with green energy, and he immediately knew it could do something. What, he had no idea, but… 'There is only one way to find out!'
He yells as he thrusts his sword forward, and he rockets forward, way faster than anyone else, and before he could correct himself he slams into the ground. And it gives way under his blade. His eyes widen in shock as the floor collapses as well, revealing a massive maze of chasms below the floor, 'Not good! It just copied her spell!' He gives a cry of fear as he and everyone falls into the hole, with everyone separating into teams of two down different chasms.
Luckily, however, the attack he had done had flung up a lot of dust, and the massive rising cloud had obstructed the view of Hana, who merely grins at the floor, thinking she got them. But when the smokescreen dissipates does she realise her error, and growls as she stares into the hole, gaze snapping between all the possible chasms they could've of fallen down. She glares at the small army of demons behind her, "Why are there holes under my home!?"
One of the demons meekly steps forward, "Err… because you ordered for them to be put there as a secret torture maze, one that had no escape to give false sense of hope to escaping mortals." She glares at the demon, vaguely remembering herself making such a decision long ago, causing her to growl then open her mouth, sucking the soul out of the demon in anger.
The other denizens of hell scramble away from their enraged leader, staring as their comrades lifeless body collapsing to the floor, still alive but without a will, an empty husk. She looks at the others, "The only reason you aren't joining that idiot is because you told me about them hiding in that cave." She explains while her eyes flick to their claws, the very same ones that put the scratches all over the igloo. The demons gulp in fear, causing Hana to grin as she looks over the edge at where everyone fell,
'I know you annoying mortals couldn't of survived that, but only an idiot doesn't check! I won't risk Marshall leaving me and his duty to the night-o-sphere to chase some human girl or pink prince!' She spins, snapping her head to the small army, "Check to see if they're alive! If they are not, then shred them! That fall should of injured them at the very least!" The demons rush to head her order, trampling and killing their soulless companion as they waste no time in jumping over the edge of her tower, leaping after the group. Hana scoffs as they quickly scramble away, but then grins as she turns to look at her remaining ally, "Marshall!" He looks at her in his messed up monster form that looked exactly like her current form. "I thought these idiots would be able to do the simple job of killing those retarded fleshlings, but apparently not! Soooo, I'm going to have to handle this myself, I'm not stupid enough to trust them with this again."
She transforms back to her normal self, making herself smaller as she glances at the admittedly tiny ravines, but then grins evilly as she looks over the edge, "I'll try not to have too much fun, but until I get back you're in control of the whole night-o-sphere! Think of it as a test per say, a trial to see if you're ready!" Marshall growls in his horrid form,
"I am worthy maggot! Go kill those mortals for trespassing in my domain, for I have souls to absorb!" Hana beams,
"That's it, you've got the hang of it! Oh, and don't forget to torture some people!" With that final reminder, she hops off her tower with a smirk, picking a random hole and falling into it, her heart set on killing every single person she sees.
Meanwhile, the group were all separated in twos, and worst of all they were all unconscious, yet not a single one of them had a scratch on them strangely… especially Finn, who was only now getting gently placed on the floor by a blacked out figure, the very same person from the arena, "And that's you safe kid. Now, I believe that's everyone, so… see you in a bit!"
With that, the mysterious figure disappears into the void once more, leaving the knocked out group in peace. It was less than a minute later when the first member of the group started to stir from their unconsciousness, and that being Fionna, who snaps up in shock. She quickly calms down before she could scream however, resorting to a sigh instead, an act that makes her grimace and immediately hold her head, "Ow… that… hurt." She looks around at her red environment, taking note of all the jagged rocks near her landing, "Huh, I guess I was pretty lucky to land here!... Wait, how did I get here? Why am I unconscious?" She says aloud, before going silent to concentrate, 'I remember climbing Hana's tower… then we fell after she attacked us! Finn did something and shattered the floor… and we continued to fall- Huntress was with me!' She snaps around desperately, panic written all over her face as she scans every inch for the forest nymph, deliberately leaving the sharp rocks to last.
But then she barely spots her, breathing gently as she lays sprawled out on the floor only a few meters away, partly hidden by rocks. A few seconds of shifting later, the heroine can see her clearly, and discovers not a scratch on her as she lays unconscious. She sighs in relief, then makes her way over, 'Thank Glob she is alright! But what happened to us? We fell together… then there was some black hand! And then everything went black! Some dude knocked us out!'
She glares and scans around once more in an attempt to spot the unknown figure who made her unconscious, but as she had expected the person was long gone. '... Doesn't matter, we're alive. And we need to find the others!' She finally reaches the side of the stricken Huntress, and quickly bends over to assess her health with a hum. But the only problem was that she had no idea on medical stuff, and she immediately goes blank in the head, causing her to reach out for Huntress's shoulder with a neutral expression,
"... Wake up!" She screams, rapidly shaking the nymph. Huntress snaps awake and shoot her fist out, arrows flying out of her quiver as she growls. Her gloved fist slams into Fionna's face, sending the girl flying backward as she sprawls out on the floor. Huntress's eyes widen, and just barely alters all five of her arrows trajectory in time, arcing them to smash into the ground next to the girl randomly. The heroine groans in pain, pushing herself up as she clutches her head, the pain of the blow being amplified many times by the fact she was knocked out mere minutes ago. She gets enveloped by a shadow, and glances up to find Huntress grimacing at her, extending a hand to aid her,
"Sorry, but don't ever startle me awake. Ever." Fionna simply nods, accepting the hand with only a slight punch to her pride as she gets pulled up. Huntress sighs, and calls her arrows back to her, all five shooting into her quiver as she looks around in confusion.
"Where are we?" Fionna shakes her head,
"I don't know, probably under Hana's tower, but we should worry about that later! We should probably hurry and find the others, they could have been hurt!" Huntress nods, logging any questions until later, 'Probably for the best as we'll have some proper information later… but I need to find Finn and Ice Queen! The others too! Glob knows how gutted Finn will be if anyone else is injured…,' She begins to snap her head around,
"Do you spot any way out other than back up?" She inquires, making Fionna stand stumply as she shifts her gaze around, and slowly become more slumped as hope leaves her,
"Erm… no." Huntress squints, her eyes glowing as she uses her huntress vision, searching for an illusion or a secret exit shrouded in darkness. But she simply ends up sighing, "And I don't see one either…" She looks straight up, hoping to find a light of some sort in the distance as a signal for an exit, but unfortunately finds nothing. There was no hole to the surface, just sealed up rock.
Her face screws up in thought, 'There has to have been a way for us to end up in here!... We've got to find it, what means…' She looks at Fionna, as she searches under a rock, "Fionna, we're going to need to climb if we're going to find an exit." The heroine snaps her head up, then at the walls with a grimace,
"I'm not that good at climbing… or being flexible and jumpy at all." She explains, making Huntress stand stumped for a second as she thinks, 'She can't do parkour? Finn can… must be something he learnt later. But how do I get her up there as well? I can't be a bird and fly up, I'm simply too physically tired to constantly flap my wings, being knocked out didn't help me in recovering…' She sighed,
"I'll have to climb manually, and when I find an exit I'll create a vine for you to climb up." Fionna stares at her with worry,
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, you look pretty beat, won't climbing and throwing your body around just wear you out faster?"
Huntress gives her a weary smile, "I'm hard meat, I can handle this with ease!" She says proudly, and starts staring at the walls… made and covered in razor sharp spikes. Huntress grimaces, but still pushes on, 'Isn't too much of a problem, just don't be an idiot and touch a sharp bit.' She lectures herself, but is halted from starting when Fionna speaks up worriedly once more,
"Err Huntress, I know Finn trusts you, and you can probably do this no problem… but what if demons attack us? You're not exactly in shape to be dodging everywhere, so…" She grabs her bag and pulls it off her back, unzipping it to reach inside and grab something with a clunk. With a grin she yanks Milly's gauntlet free, before haphazardly chucking it at Huntress, who sluggishly grabs it with a slight grimace, staring at the armour in her hand. "Try using that! I mean, me and Milly used it a lot and we're not mages! So it probably doesn't have that much drain, and it is easy to use, simply think 'Blast!' and it'll shoot out a laser!"
Huntress flinches at the girl's childish enthusiasm, and does look at the gauntlet sceptically, before shrugging and putting it on her un-gloved hand. Her hand simply slips inside and it scales to her size a little, triggering her to wiggle her fingers to test her hand's mobility within the metal armour. She nods, then looks at the sharp rocks, "... How tough is it?" Fionna shrugs,
"I don't know… it's made of metal and can take punching people in the face, so I'm guessing super tough." Huntress nods, wiggling her arm around a little to get a feel for the gauntlet's weight, before taking a couple steps back, then full blown sprinting at the wall in front of her. She throws her protected hand up and reaches for an edge covered in sharp spike a few inches tall, 'Here goes nothing.' Despite the slight fear she was suffering from, she hid it behind a neutral expression as her hand slams into the spikes with a metal clunk.
The sharp rocks crumble under her hand, not a single one making it through the armour as Huntress grins. The only problem it gave her was that the crushed remains of the spikes were not providing her with much grip, what Huntress quickly fixes by grabbing a nearby spike with her other hand, using it like a handle. She remains frozen still as she judges the stability of her position, before looking over her shoulder at Fionna, "Remain quiet, if there are demons here then we better not radio our position by talking." Fionna tilts her head, reminding Huntress of Fionna's and Finn's lacklustre education, "Don't make too much noise, or the demons will use it to find us." The girl nods uncaringly, 'If no demons come, great, Huntress isn't in danger then, what a hero should go for… but fighting a bunch of demons sounds fun as well.' The she sweat drops, 'As long as there aren't as many as in that river.'
She looks around bored, before settling on watching Huntress as she continues onward once more, expertly scaling the rocks with Milly's gauntlet equipped. The hero girl sighs and sits down, simply waiting for the next interesting moment, 'I know I should be peaceful, and it is better for everyone… but a fight is so fun!'
Meanwhile, in another hole, Finn and Ice Queen rest unconscious on the hard red floor, neither moving or making a noise. That was until the royal groans, her eyes fluttering open as she continues to lay on the floor, "Ergh… I don't want to get up yet… wait. I haven't had an awesome dream." She pushes herself up before looking around, taking less than a second to lock onto Finn's slumbering form laying peacefully on the floor next to her. 'I could cuddle him, blame it on the landing from the fall… heck I could do more than just cuddle him…' She crawls next to him, placing her hands on his shoulders and gently shaking him, 'But I won't exploit him just because he is vulnerable. I would never do that.'
Finn murmurs, and unlike his counterpart from earlier, peacefully wakes up, not throwing a fist at the royal as she sighs in relief, "Finn, are you alright?" She asks in genuine worry, and is answered by Finn calmly sitting himself up while grabbing his head with a pained groan,
"Yeah… just got a killer headache, that's all…" Then he seemingly snaps back to health as he stares into her eyes, grabbing her face and giving her a worried look over, "But what about you? Are you hurt in anyway?" Ice Queen stares in shock at his sudden recover, but then giggles as she pulls her head out of his grasp, getting onto her feet as she stands tall over him,
"I'm fine, don't worry about me! Besides, I'm pretty sure Fionna has given me worse beats downs than that." She explains, brushing some dirt off her bloody dress, stained by all the demons she has killed. She then beams down at the hero, extending both arms to wrap him up in a hug, then pulling him tight against her as she brings him to a stand.
She smiles down at his head smothered between her breasts, knowing that he sees nothing perverted in the act, allowing her to look around for an escape. She holds Finn firmly against her as she analyses the sharp rocks all around her, 'We could have become kebabs…' She nervously pulls him even tighter against her chest, not wanting to let him go after realising how close they came to kicking the bucket. But then she hears muffled complaints coming from the hero, making her panic and let him out with only a tad of disappointment,
"Sorry Finn… anyways we have to find a way out." Finn regains his breath, uncaring of the event that just happened as he looks up, causing Ice Queen to sigh in relief, 'I guess that's another advantage of being tall then, can easily do that to Finn whenever I want.' While she was suffering thoughts of perversion, Finn grimaces at the sealed ceiling above them,
"I would say we go back up, but that doesn't seem possible… how did we get here then?" Ice Queen was actually stumped by the question, and hums in thought as she looks around,
"... I don't see a hole that would of made us land where we did… but I do remember getting knocked out by a black hand!" She exclaims, making Finn snap to her,
"Seriously!?" The hero then concentrates on his own memory, then his eyes widen as well, "You're right! Pitch black normal hand?" She nods, making Finn sigh, "So we were put here, and seeing how the only things here are demons…"
Ice Queen stomps her foot in anger, "Then we were captured!" A scared look flashes across her face as she gazes at Finn,"... What do you think Hana will do to us?" The hero grimaces and shakes his head,
"I don't know… but we can't allow it to happen to us!" Ice Queen remains stumped for a few seconds, then smiles sweetly at Finn,
"Yeah… we've got to get out." They both immediately start prowling around, searching every little nick and gap they could find for some sort of escape of their cell, Finn glaring as he looks behind a boulder, 'Come on! They would have to collect us at some point! And for them to do that they need a way in!' He angrily throws a rock out of his way, 'I won't abandon the others! I won't let Ice Queen die here!' Suddenly soft arms wrap around, gently pulling him into a snuggle as he looks up in confusion, finding Ice Queen smiling sweetly down at him, "I can see you're getting stressed Finn… don't. We'll find a way out, we'll rescue the others, we'll kick Hana's butt, we'll grab Marshall Lee, and we'll get the heck out back to AAA. Then we can relax together, before we celebrate your birthday together… that's the biggest thing to worry about right now Finn, as cliché as that sounds, because there is no chance in the night-o-sphere that we'll be trapped here."
Finn calms down at her word, his stress leaving him as he relaxes into her, letting her hold him steady as she wraps her arms around him firmly, cuddling him with all her worth. She rests her head atop his and gently rocks them both, "And even if we don't make it out, I don't care, simply because I'm with you." Finn's eyes widen, yet he doesn't break out of her hold, "You've helped me through so much, you've been there for me when no one else was. So if I were to go out? I wouldn't mind it being by your side as we tell Hana to go do one." They remain silent as Ice Queen finally finishes, the woman resting her chin atop his head as Finn stares straight ahead.
The boy eventually recovers from his amazement, and slowly spins in her arms as he looks up at her, "I… wouldn't mind dying with you either Sarah… but I'll do everything I can to not let you die at the least." As he stares up at her flawless blue face, she grins as she leans forward a tiny bit, doing her best to resist kissing the hero in her arms.
She sighs as she lets go of him, letting him slip free from her arms, "I would be honest Finn: I would kiss you. But I know that you are loyal to Huntress, and I don't dare mess with your relationship." He blushes heavily as fidgets nervously before her, admittedly kinda shocked that the woman still had feelings for him,
"Well… if I'm honest… if I wasn't dating Huntress… then I would date you." Finn blushes heavily at his admittance, looking away shyly as Ice Queen stares at him full of shock, stunned and struck with silence. Then she beams at him,
"I see…" She notices his worried expression aimed directly at her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Huntress. But hearing that definitely gave me the confidence boost I need! Thank you." She grins as she looks around, 'He does like me! I have a chance for that three way relationship!'
Finn meanwhile looks around sheepishly, quickly leaving Ice Queen's side to continue his search for their escape, 'Why did I say that!? Sure it was a heat of the moment!… but why do I feel like that was the truth?...' Suddenly Ice Queen was by his side once more, simply helping him in searching the area for an exit, yet seemingly, each other's presence calms the other down.
Then they turn a corner, and find a stream of molten lava slowly oozing down some path that it had made years ago. Ice Queen winces at the heat rising of it, and she turns to search elsewhere when Finn gives her a look of confusion, making her stop and return one in kind, "What?" He looks back at the lava,
"You do know what this means right?"
"... That we can make smores?" Finn grins as he shakes his head,
"I unfortunately am not carrying any marshmallows right now, but that's not the point! The lava has to come from somewhere! Like it or not, we've found no hole so far, so…" Ice Queen looks at the stream of lava calmly flowing down hill, then sighs, gaining a small smile as she opens her arms to the hero,
"Alright, I get the idea. Hop in and we'll set off." The human climbs into her embrace, and she wraps her arms around him tightly as she flapped her eyebrows, slowly sending them into a hover. Once she was a few feet in the air, she slowly drifted over the lava, both her and her passenger looking down at the boiling orange liquid in slight worry, knowing the night-o-sphere. Chances are there was some demon hiding in the molten rock, simply lying in wait for some prey to get too close. But luckily no such thing happens, the only thing rising out of the lava was a lot of heat, making the duo sweat as their bodies become sticky.
Ice Queen huffs from the temperature, but continues onward upstream, trailing the lava up to its origin with her precious cargo in hand. Finn sighs as he relaxes in her arms, finding it comfortably warm with the molten rock heating them both up, making Ice Queen grin at him, "Finn, if this doesn't lead to an exit, can we just bust a way out?" Finn groans into her chest,
"Nooo…. We could injure the others if they are stuck as well. But I do have a neat robot arm that can become a drill that hopefully won't shake the area up enough to make a cave in. We can use that to dig us a way out, the only problem being dust and how long it take." He explains, having flashbacks to his escape from Fern's prison, busting down the wall and suffering a coughing fit from the grey cloud that came as a result. Ice Queen sighs, and looks up the stream,
"Then let's hope this leads somewhere then…" He nods in her arms, sighing as he simply gives in to enjoy the ride. It is one that lasts several minutes, but eventually the duo do indeed find the source of the lava in the form of a molten rock waterfall, flowing down from a large hole in a wall. They give it a look over, analysing the cave with a slight grin as Ice Queen hovers forward, "Bingo."
To be honest, it kinda looked like a sewer pipe with it being a giant rocky hole with lava spewing out of it, but neither care as Ice Queen floats inside with a determined expression. Her head just barely skims by the bumpy rock roof of the hole, but she needed to if she was to stay clear of the lava bubbling below her. She looks up, wincing as she stares deep into the seemingly endless hole, "Jeez, how far is her prison from… everything!?" She exclaims, making Finn chuckle,
"I think pretty far is safe to say far with how long we've been traveling… but I guess that makes sense right? Why have your prison filled with dangerous people that are probably out to kill you near the place you sleep?" Ice Queen laughs nervously at his words as he accidentally makes he realise something, and she quickly starts reformatting her mansion to move a certain room elsewhere. She shakes her head then gasps,
"I see an exit!" Finn snapped up as well, but due to him currently being face first in her chest he can't turn around to see the truth. Indeed, ahead of them the lava continues to drool in through a hole, but even from this position Ice Queen can see the massive chamber. She shoots along the lava, determination on her face as she rockets out of the tight cave they were in with such a force that the lava beneath her splashed up behind her. She immediately heads for the closest piece of solid land she could find, what was some red rock that made the walls around the pool of molten rock.
She hurriedly lands with a sigh, and opens her arms as Finn breaks free from her breasts before hurriedly looking around to assess the room. The chamber was circular in nature and was made completely of red rock, with three tunnels spreading out in different directions to probably create some super labyrinth.
The only thing different was the huge pool of lava resting in one corner of the room, that then ran down into the cave they just came from. The pool itself was made by more molten rock pouring in from the ceiling, however there was no gap around the lava, meaning there was no way the duo could continue to follow it to the surface. Finn nods, grinning at Ice Queen, "Nice work Sarah. Now, we need to-" BOOM, a massive heavy thunk shook the cave, scaring the hell out of Finn and Ice Queen as they stare upwards in fear, watching small pebbles fall from the ceiling as tiny cracks form.
Luckily, nothing else happens and they both release a breath of relief, before looking in the general location in which it came from, Ice Queen raising her hand in preparation to do some emergency magic, "What the hell was that?" Finn simply squints as he stares at a cave entrance, then slowly makes his way over to it, careful to not make much noise as he uses some of the tricks Huntress Wizard had taught him.
Ice Queen stays where she was, watching Finn nervously as she fidgets in fear for his safety, 'I can't be sneaky! I can't get close!' Finn reaches the edge of the snaking off cave, and peeks inside slowly and carefully. He jolts his head back, eyes wide as he spins to stare at Ice Queen. He hurriedly points at a nearby bump in the rocks, and she quickly leaps at it, hiding as best as she can behind the red stone. They wait in silence, and Finn takes another cautious peep inside the cave.
And he sees her again: Hana. Her back was to him as she angrily looked around, peeking behind cover and rocks, hunting something. She huffs as she stares at a boulder, "Where are those mortals hiding!?" She grabs the massive red rock, then effortlessly chucks it behind her, sending it smashing into the wall, causing another mini earthquake. She growls at not discovering the group presenting themselves to her where the rock once stood, and storms away, muttering something as she disappears down another path.
Finn sighs, then swiftly moves away from the tunnel, hurriedly making his way over to Ice Queen still hiding behind her refuge. He peeks around the red rock, and finds her glaring at him with magic at the ready as her hand instinctively shoots towards him. Luckily however she recognises him before she does anything, and her hand skids to a stop as her gaze softens.
She sighs, then tugged him atop her as Finn gives a yelp of shock, falling onto the woman as she tries her best to hide them behind the rock. She pulls him tight against her, "What did you see that deserved that type of reaction?" She inquires worriedly, making Finn sigh,
"Hana." Ice Queen grimaces and nervously peeks out from their cover, before calmly hiding once more, "Right, but she doesn't know we've escaped yet, so if we remain low we'll be fine." She explains, making Finn shake his head,
"Oh no, she is searching for all of us right now."
Ice Queen's face twists into confusion, causing Finn to sigh, "She growled about not being able to find us 'mortals', so she obviously knows we've escaped our cell… unless…" He peeks back at the lava in which they came, "... That wasn't a cell…" Ice Queen scoffs,
"I doubt that Finn." He shakes his head,
"No, what if I'm serious? That demon that knocked us out might have done it for our own safety, or at the least to annoy Hana. I mean, Butterscotch did mention she has a prison for rivals, so what if another rival did this to piss her off?" He pushes himself off of her, then extends a hand to her in which she grabs firmly, allowing him to yank her onto her feet, "That demon probably helped us, and put us in a hole Hana wouldn't of thought about searching. I mean, we would have likely just landed in a straight fall from her, and she could of killed us in seconds with a whole swarm of demons."
Ice Queen nodded sceptically, "If you think so Finn… but even if he helped us or not, that doesn't matter, what matters is that we find the others and get the heck out of these caves." Finn nods determinedly, and looks at the cave in which he spotted Hana,
"We should go that way, then go her path but backwards, I mean, she had to have come down here from the surface someway." Ice Queen nods, then proudly begins strolling towards the cave path, head held high as Finn follows beside her, "We need a plan if we meet any demons, or worse Hana."
Ice Queen smirks as she raises her hand, staring into Finn's eyes, "We fight. We can easily handle any threat thrown at us." Finn shifts his gaze downwards, something Ice Queen immediately notices, "Finn, I know you don't like fighting, but it is a necessity if we are to survive this! You need to use that sword of yours more often, because talking peacefully all the time doesn't work."
Finn sighs, "I know…"
"Look, think of it like drinking water! If you have too much water, you drown. If you don't have enough, you die from dehydration. You need to strike a middle ground, and that applies to everything, including solving problems. You need to be both violent and peaceful, and use them appropriately." Finn nods with a slight grimace,
"I understand... but when do I know to be peaceful and when to swing my sword?" Ice Queen smiles sweetly at him,
"That's for you to figure out, for you to decide depending on what you think." Finn nods, then grins as he stares straight ahead with a fire in his eyes,
"Right, thanks. So let's kick Hana's butt if she attacks us, but let's avoid her as much as we can, no need for unnecessary violence." Ice Queen grins, and the duo both immediately speed into the cave path, heading in the opposite of the Lady of the Night-o-sphere as they rush to find the others.
Huntress grunts as she yanked herself up some more spiky rocks, glancing around to find her next step as she scales the red wall. Fionna meanwhile stood idly below her, resorting to being on guard duty for any demons that likely won't interrupt them, and being a safety net for the nymph encase she falls, what also isn't likely to happen. Huntress takes a moment to look around from her elevated position, hoping to find an exit to the bothersome cave. But the only thing she finds is annoyance as no hole reveals itself to her, yet she simply analysis the area again for her next step again, preparing to push onwards.
Then a pebble hits her in the head. She jolts and snaps her gaze to her left, scanning the environment for whatever lobbed the stone, and her eyes widen as she spots a blacked out man standing on a stone alcove. Yet before she could send an arrow through his head he darts behind a rock, disappearing completely from view. Huntress raises an eyebrow in curiosity, and judges the distance from her to the platform where the man stood on.
It was within leaping distance if she crawled along a little more, especially seeing how it was a meter or two lower than her. She fidgets along, eyes locked onto her target just encase the mysterious figure shows his face once more. Surprisingly, he didn't, and she was now within distance of the platform in which he stood upon, making her take a deep breath of preparation.
Then she begins to swing, her body rocking as she grunts in effort, before she eventually reaches peek momentum, and lets go of her ledge, sending her body flying towards the platform. She quickly arcs through the air before landing silently on the alcove, snapping her head up as all five arrows swiftly leaves her quiver. The green arrows hover above her head as she stares into the rocks the figure had disappeared behind, and she cautiously rises, making no sudden movement as she slowly approaches the man's escape route.
She jerks her head forward to peek inside as her arrows fly forth. And uselessly hit red rock. The mysterious figure was completely gone with no track of him anywhere, but there was a narrow path leading deeper to some unknown cave. Huntress squints as she activates her huntress vision, thoroughly checking the small path for traps or the figure, but comes up completely empty handed. She glances away, yet nothing happens when she wasn't looking, making the nymph sigh as she backs away from the hole, looking down at Fionna, "Hey!" The girl jumps, looking up at Huntress in shock, "I think I've found an exit."
The heroine grins as she nods in understanding, making Huntress grab her cloak and yank it off, swiftly shifting it into a long dark green vine that she then dangles over the edge. As the young girl grips the vine and grunts as she attempts to pull herself up, Huntress glances over her shoulder, making sure nothing has jumped out of the hole,
'Better to be safe than sorry, I need to make sure I survive so I be there for Finn and Ice Queen. I need to be hard meat, just not for me… but would Finn like me doing that?' "Hey! Err… Huntress…" The nymph snaps out of her thoughts, and peeks over the edge to find Fionna dangling at the bottom of the rope with a blush. "... Could you pull me up?" She says with a tad of bitterness, still not liking the idea of asking for help.
Huntress rolls her eyes with a small smile, and begins grunting as she tugs on the vine, slowly lifting the girl up as if she was a crane. A few minutes later she reaches the edge of the red rock platform, and the heroine quickly grabs the ledge and pulls herself up the rest of the way, standing tall as she strolls to hole calmly. Huntress grins at the girl trying to play needing help off, 'She's just like me.' She turns the vine back into her cape, then stands by Fionna's side as she peers into the tunnel.
"A black figure brought my attention to it." Fionna looks at her in shock, her mouth slightly agape,
"What do you mean?"
"Well, a man that was completely pitch black threw a pebble at my head to get my attention, then disappeared into this path." She peers inside the cave again, still a tad weary, "... He knocked us out and put us in a safe location, then when we were searching for an escape he showed us one… I think this demon is helping us, or at the very least an ally for the time being, because I doubt that pebble was a savage attack." Fionna nods, 'So we have a mysterious ally?... So cool!' They both stroll forward, slowly entering the path that lead somewhere they did not know, marked by an unknown benefactor.
Meanwhile, Cake groans as she awakens, "Oh… did I sleep in again?" Her eyes open and she locks onto the red walls surrounding her, "Oookkk I do not remember falling asleep here."
"That's because we were knocked unconscious." The feline jolts at the voice, and spins around to stare at a meditating Butterscotch, her eyes closed as she did some weird magic.
"What do you mean I was 'knocked unconscious?'" Butterscotch sighs but doesn't stop her ritual,
"What I mean is that when we were falling into the abyss of the ravine, an unknown person of extreme cosmic magic entered this realm and inflicted us with a spell that put us all asleep."
"Oh ok." The feline shrugs and looks around, "Now what?" The butler finally stops meditating, her legs unfolding from their crossed position as she rises,
"We regroup with the others and make plans, because Hana is after us as she is patrolling these caves this very moment." Cake huffs,
"Great! That's just great! If she dares to lay a single finger on Fionna or our recently adopted older brother Finn, then I'll sit on her! As a giant." She says menacingly, but Butterscotch simply shrugged,
"Well the advantage of having me is that I can track her and the demons accompanying her. I doubt I can find the others with my magic, but if all the demons suddenly rush at something then they are likely attacking our friends." Cake nods, her fist growing into a large morning star as she winds up,
"We have a plan!" She swings her arm forward, smashing her weaponised hand into the wall that just crumbles under her might. The area shakes a little in protest, but Cake doesn't care about a cave in, only in saving everyone as she rushes forward brainlessly, Butterscotch trying her best to keep up.
As they rush through the cave labyrinth that sat under Hana's home, Fionna and Huntress crab walked their way through their escape route. Fionna was admittedly getting a tad bored, and having nothing when Huntress was climbing had gotten to her, making her dive into her thoughts. What lead to questions. They weren't anything serious, just ones of curiosity that she thinks about from time to time. She looks up at the naturally taller nymph, 'I never got any reactions except from Gumball, but he just wanted to do some experiments… most don't seem to care, but what do they actually think?' "Hey Huntress Wizard? What were your forest nymphs, or any species really, opinion on humans?"
I'm so, so sorry for getting sick and not being able to write last week. I am so thankful for everyone who has still stuck around despite that. I again apologize.
Now before I get into other bits, I will first explain that end question: It's for world/lore building. And humans are always an interesting point of discussion in adventure time anyways.
Now, all the way back to the start, that bit with the meat and Huntress putting it in Finn's mouth? That was a poorly done reference to lady and the tramp, or more accurately the scene where the two dogs were eating the pasta and accidentally kissed. It actually sounds really weird when it is typed out, huh?
Tiny detail, but when Finn and Fionna woke up they acted differently. Fionna nearly punched Finn, while Finn calmly woke up to Ice Queen. That was a tiny thing to show how Finn is more engrained to be peaceful, while Fionna was still lost to her violent side. Just because she said she'll try to be more pacifist doesn't mean she'll change over night, this will be (hopefully) a gradual change.
And one final note: The power of Finn's sword has already been shown, and I don't mean its ability to absorb Hana's spells! It was shown in a previous chapter, so good luck finding it : )
Review response:
blacksteel387, on FF, chapter 29:
I'm glad you liked it! I hope it was worth the cliffhanger last chapter.
Thanks for your opinion as well! I'll probably do it since it has a lot of comedic potential as you pointed out.
ArisArc18, on FF, chapter 29:
Thank you! I will try my best to keep going (Just ignore the current week break I'm on lol)
Just a tad late, yeah XD
But I thinking that Finn doesn't know, or I won't be able to write all these awkward/innocent Finn scenes (Even though yes, Finn likely does know what tier 15 is. But maybe not that tier 15 is sex, as in that they are the same thing.)
The Book of Eli, on FF, chapter 29:
Thank you, I enjoy writing the romance scenes even though it upsets Cake, but I think she'll eventually get over it…Maybe. Yep, Fionna still has to grow, don't expect her to change in only a few chapters : ) IQ is a few hundred years old, and has had her powers the entire time. She is incredibly knowing of her limits and strengths after having them for so long, hence why she is a bit of a powerhouse, she is a literal master of her profession. Hey! Fionna and Finn not knowing what tier fifteen is a funny trope! Have Ice Queen have a sexy cake for Finn? What, she explodes out of a cake completely naked, making the princes gag and run away screaming? New idea acquired!

3 x combo!
She doesn't look old if that is what you are wondering. She still looks young thanks to magic (though obviously not a teen, older than that).
If I had to give a rough estimation, she looks like she is in her mid twenties, like 24 or 25. Not a teen but definitely not old looking either. Young, with a very slight touch of age showing. Hard to explain really.
