A scene opens up with Atomsk waiting for TME to come while watching Classic Scooby Doo.

TME then rushed in while he looks apologetic.

"Hey Atomsk, sorry for the wait, just posted the CCTC chapter, hope you didn't wait long." TME said while he rubs his head a bit.

"Hm?… Nah man. Was actually reliving the golden age of this masterpiece." Atomsk said pointing to the show.

"Really?... as the Scooby-doo series?... which one?... the classic Scooby-Doo where are you series that used to be on things like OG cartoon network?... the one with the chest or demons?... the one that had a more updated artstyle…. Its… its not the Velma one is it?... I still don't know how people thought that show could be aired… only saw clips and makes a guy like me cringe… I maybe 31 now but even I don't say stuff that cringe worthy on that show… so many references on generations it has its head up its own ass… doesn't even have Scooby-Doo in it… would have preferred a Scrappy-Doo centered show…" TME said while he rubs his head as a comical irritation swirl formed over his head.

Atomsk shook his head.

"First of all… no. Velma show sucks. Second, as for the series. I'm looking at the OG one."

"AH… the good old days… I used to remember a time when TV shows were good… none of that censored crap…" TME said as he grew a comical sage beard and rubs it.

"No kidding. The times have changed… oh to turn back time… to the good old days." Atomsk said as he was also having a beard and walking stick.

A couple smacks hit the back of their heads knocking their beards off though.

"OW!" The duo said and they look to show Bubblegum and Marceline behind them giving the authors half lidded looks as Marceline looks amused.

"OK Grandpas… enough talking about the good old days… we got a story to get to before you two ramble." Marceline said when she and Bubblegum were called here.

"Oh yeah… we did have that… well you two should sit because we have a shocker of a story to go on… it's mainly a mystery centered one that will more or less have the usual main OC Emerald be a lead here with you Marceline… so to speak… I can't say much but lets say that this won't be a full on combat filled adventure… will still have many lemons and stuff so don't worry but… you and Bubblegum better get ready for a shocker… can talk about things after the first chapter starts officially but… yeah… expect MANY things to be confusing from the start… trust me the overall story will go over a mystery that happens with Marceline mainly as Emerald helps her… lets just say she will more or less REALLY make sure Emerald follows through on a deal that she kind of forces Emerald into… for good reason though… trust me… will make a lot more sense… for now we should get into the story but I should reiterate there will be lemons and HEAVY OC use… after all this story is 1000 years after the Canon time of Ooo… so expect those like Shermy and Beth then Finn, Jake, and some other AT Characters… well besides Bubblegum and other immortal type characters." TME said when he looks at the readers now.

Marceline and Bubblegum were shocked.

"Dude… what the fuck?" Marceline said as Atomsk rubs his head.

"Yeah I know. Sorry Marceline."

"Hey trust me its to prevent spoilers because of these guys, believe me you'll see what I mean… for now… we should get to the dead of night in an unknown city…" TME said as he had the scene shift now to an unknown fog covered City on a rainy day…


Ooo/ 1000 years after the end of the Canon AT timeline/ Unknown City/ ?

The scene currently shows a large fog covered city… this city was made over time to help gather some people around Ooo over time… this was more or less a makeshift kingdom made to support those who have nowhere to go… this place was funnily enough called the Unknown City because the people and beings who lived here had unknown reasons to be here and unknown pasts… rarely did anyone here stay here for normal reasons as well… honestly to quote a cliche… this entire City was a mystery… and in on street was a person running in the rain while they held a hat to their head as a group of people gave chase.

"Get back here you bastard!" One guy said as another speaks.

"Yeah… you can't run Emerald!... you'll pay for getting in the way of this weapon deal." A second person said showing that the figure… a human looking being with bright green eyes, white skin, brown hair, and wore a long trench coat making him look like a detective with some cargo pants and boots he wore… well he was running from these guys while trying to lose them…

Again how this happened can be as simple as Emerald more or less causing a deal to go wrong and he was now in hot water… as he ran though… he passed by an old looking house as something for a second flickered in the window that went unnoticed by Emerald and the goons… when they left… a voice with an ethereal sounding echo sounds amused when they saw the trouble Emerald was in… and when the voice spoke… the voice sounded feminine…

"Well well… someone is sure on the run."

As this happened, the camera went back to Emerald as he ran more through the Unknown City… he turned into an alleyway but to his chagrin… he saw it was more or less a dead end… one thing that annoyed Emerald about this city was that thanks to Wizards helping make this place… it occasionally shifts its layout with magic energy coursing through it… more or less making it impossible to map out aside key streets and landmarks… as Emerald pants… he looks back and saw that the group of men after him were panting as they caught up with him as Emerald turned to look at them.

"End of the line for you, Emerald." One thug said.

Emerald on his end grits his teeth as he held his hat.

"Good grief… I investigate a series of murders and I happen to find you guys doing a weapons deal… you know if you walk away now, we can just forget this happened since I have no business with you guys, its not my fault most of the people in this city look like the police… hell you guys look like cops with the coats as well because of the rain." Emerald said when he tried to buy time as he steps back once with him looking on guard in case these guys drew weapons.

"Shut up. Time for you to pay big." Another said.

Emerald grits his teeth as his eyes momentarily glowed white for a second… though as he was about to defend himself… mainly with some kind of unknown ability… a car drove up and more men came out much to Emerald's chagrin… honestly whoever these guys were dealing with were out for blood… though as they drew guns… time seemed to slow as the lights around many oddly change color as the lights went from a gentle yellow light to an ethereal blue… and an amused sounding voice speaks as glostly fireballs start forming around the group.

"Well well well… I follow and I'm about to see someone about to become a spirit… must say you pissed off the mafia big time if this many boozo's are around here." a female spectral voice said while her voice echoes around the place.

"What the… who… said that?... you… don't seem like a normal ghost to cause this kind of event…" Emerald said as he looks a bit nervous while the goons before him look ROYALLY nervous since this was something they never really saw before.

"Oh how rude of me, let me introduce myself." The voice said before they start to appear.

As the Ghostly fire starts to form… a moment later… many saw something that well… made many males noses bleed while Emerald's eyes widen in shock when he saw the most human looking ghost he ever saw in his life… unlike most ghost who had barely humanoid forms and had more or less just… shapes that resembled being human or whatever they were in life… this figure looked like a nude female with a VERY dark blue spectral form which darkens more to a VERY dark shade of blue while she had red glowing eyes… long flowing hair which flowed from her in a poofy manner… she had D to E cup breasts… a nice plump looking ass… though thankfully for modesty sake… seems she had her nipples and folds and ass hidden by making it look like she was wearing just a skin tight looking outfit to match her body in one singular body color… all in all… if she was a ghost… she was definitely not a normal looking one or a normal feeling one that's for sure… she looked powerful even by ghostly standards…

"What the…" Emerald said while he had one seen eye which looked wide in shock… he NEVER saw a ghost this detailed… sure some came close like high ranking specters who had grudges and what not who wanted their regrets settled… but this was an entirely new level of detail… honestly coloring aside… she looked to be like a human in shape… something felt off to Emerald though about this… still he did look on guard since a ghost appearing here with this many goons…

"So… who are you and why are you here?... you some kind of wondering wraith?..." Emerald said while the spectre smirks.

"Eh… I can explain things later and say who I am after… for now unless you want to die since I can't do much as is… if you accept a deal of mine in doing me a favor… I can more or less get rid of these guys for you." The ghostly woman said when she smirks at Emerald who looks surprised by this offer while many of the goons look angered by this now.

"Are you serious? No way you can get rid of us. Go haunt someone else bitch." Another thug said.

"Yeah, think you can scare us off bitch!?... we got contacts, one wrong move and we can hire an exorcist Wizard to get rid of you!" Another said as the spectre smirks.

"Unless they specialize in extreme levels of Holy magic… not happening… sure I can be blocked and stuff… but if I make a contract… well… that kind of stuff won't fly anymore… so… what will it be human?... or hybrid given you don't feel human to me… want to make a deal with me or deal with these goons here?" The Spectre said as Emerald looks at her then the goons and frowns.

"Not leaving me much choice… especially with the unknown thing you want… but… fine… as long as its not too extreme… I'll accept your deal… if you get rid of these guys… I'll accept your contract to do any one thing you want." Emerald said while the specter smirks when she heard this.

"Hehe… good… and since we have a deal…" The specter said when she moved to hold her hand at the goons and well… all the weapons they had were pulled from them… and as she grips her hand… a symbol appeared on her right hand while the same formed on Emerald's right hand as the specter smirks when her voice sounded less ethereal and more mortal like despite her looking the same.

"May as well get rid of this trash before I explain what I want." The spectre said before she launched the large ball of metal through the group of goons knocking them over and she used her powers to more or less cause shadows and darkness to form around them which was… ominous as the specter smirks darkly.

"Now boys… you really want to deal with me?... should tell you I'm not a normal spirit… soul of a demon your dealing with…" The specter said as her eyes glow an ominous red.

The goons were now spooked.

"Run!" One of them said.

The specter smirks when she saw the men run off… not before one of them looks at Emerald though.

"This isn't the last you hear from us Emerald… you and your pet ghost won't get away with this!" The goon said as he ran off while the rest not running by getting in a car drove away leaving Emerald with the ghostly woman.

"Good grief. Goons these days." The specter said.

Emerald though watched as the Spectre turn to look at him with a smile as Emerald removed his hand from his hat.

"Yeah… so… now that things calmed down and I owe you a favor… mind if I ask your name first before we get to the heart of the deal?" Emerald asked while he looks curious.

The specter smirks.

"Name's Marceline. I was known… as the Vampire Queen."

Emerald blinks in shock at this.

"Vampire Queen?... she was missing from what history books say from 200 or so years ago… maybe 300 if I'm being generous… you're the same Vampire Queen who the Candy Queen Bubblegum grieved for?" Emerald said when that seemed to be a key thing that many knew about… seems Marceline if this ghost was Marceline vanished and people assumed her dead…

Marceline sighs.

"Yeah. That's me."

"Wait… how are you dead?... I mean some history books say that unless you were staked in the heart or bathed in sunlight you should be immortal and virtually unkillable… how is that possible?" Emerald said while Marceline shrugs.

"That's what my favor is… heard about you a couple times on the ghostly grapevine… I'm hoping you could help solve that and see who or what actually ended me… honestly I don't even remember my own death and I'm not talking like one of those ghostly deaths where they are missing their cause of death… I'm missing a LARGE chunk of memories around my death from a certain timeframe… given how fast things changes, I can't remember WHERE exactly but I know it was either in this City, or one of the Kingdoms that are still standing nearby… you help me with finding things out and were even for the save… can even be your cute assistant in investigations if you need help finding clues you can't get to… I've been in this form long enough to pick up a few ghostly tricks like you saw which will come in handy." Marceline said with a smirk as Emerald raised an eyebrow.

"Hold on… how big of a gap we talking?... a few days?... weeks?... for all we know you could have died in an accident like a building breaking during the day and you getting hit with sunlight or maybe an old enemy got the drop on you on a bad day?... I mean if this happened 200 to 300 years ago… even if there were clues… well… would be hard to find." Emerald said as Marceline smirks.

"Considering the skills YOU have with a couple magic abilities that should by all accounts make you more insane than an ex of mine Mr. split personality… you really shouldn't lie given the fact I know some ghosts who you helped before they passed on… they say goodbye and stuff and some were older then I was when I was dead." Marceline said while she looks amused as Emerald looks surprised… especially about the split personality thing making him grumble.

"Seriously?... guess they didn't have much to lose in talking with someone at least… ugh… fine… but if this turns out to be a wild goose chase and stuff… don't blame me OK?... even if I do use some powers I have to help… what if the truth is something you can't accept?... will you be fine with that?" Emerald said when he had his hands in his pockets.

"Buddy, I lived through a thousand years and seen things before being a ghost. I'll handle whatever this world shows." Marceline said.

"Just saying… for now if we are partners, may as well tell you my full name, demons do need a full name for an official contract… names Emerald… Emerald Ranmyaku… I'm a detective trying to solve a murder that happened and I was being chased by goons that you saw… my luck had me more or less accidentally run into a weapons deal going down and while I did tip off the police on it… this more or less got me as enemy number one for now…" Emerald said while he shakes his head.

"Well that explains the running. Been a while since I saw a detective." Marceline said.

"Didn't you know I was a detective before from your ghostly contacts?" Emerald said with a raised eyebrow.

"Eh… give or take. Regardless, we have so much to do." Marceline said.

"No kidding… first off I need to finish off this case I'm working on first to gain cash from my client before anything else, need travel funds just in case and will help with food… I need to head to the scene of the crime one more time so I can show you my abilities in person… especially with the clues I got which should make this easy mode for you if you get surprised by what happens." Emerald said while he looks at Marceline and gestured for her to float after him.

"Sure thing. You reminded me of two dudes that were like detectives. You would've liked them." Marceline said.

"Really?... they detectives as well?" Emerald said while he walked with Marceline floating over him as he had his eyes on the sidewalk.

"Not fully, but their parents were. They were a couple of heroes. Not sure if they ring a bell but their names were Finn and Jake." Marceline said.

"Finn and Jake?... you mean the ancient heroes of old who saved Ooo time and time again?... yeah I heard of them… bit too goody two shoes like for my liking though… heard they were rather… excitable in life." Emerald said when he read some history books.

"Also heard he caused the Ice Kingdom to melt once long ago so… yeah…" Emerald said showing that even moments like that were recorded in history…

Marceline sweatdrops at the memory.

"Yeah… the weenie was… not thinking right when he listen to bad advice… and prophetic dreams."

"Right… anyway just follow me… not sure how many secrets of the Unknown City you know about but… thanks to studying this place… I know how to use special shortcuts if the right magic is use… Emerald said when his left hand glows as he walked to a nearby wall that looks different then rest as he rubs a pattern in it… in no time this had a archway open and a green portal opens.

"So… ever see things like this?" Emerald asked when he looks at Marceline while she looks curiously at the portal.

Marceline was thoughtful.

"Almost reminds me of the portal to the Nightosphere."

"Nightosphere?... I think that's familiar… not many people use Nightosphere portals nowadays… not since Hunson made it deadly or dangerous for people to summon demons… you kind of dying had a call for that… some say he fully snapped if that was possible… losing his wife first… then you… honestly I'm surprised he hasn't gone on the warpath… chances are he must think you're just missing… we better be careful… if he finds out your a ghost… he may fuck whatever rules are in place and try and come to the Mortal world by force to get you." Emerald said while he stepped into the portal leaving Marceline behind for a moment.

Marceline did shudder.

'I'm now picturing dad on a big warpath.' She thought.

Marceline then floats after Emerald and she found herself at a dock area near the ocean… showing the Unknown City, while not quite the port town… had a seaside option for fishing and other stuff… and as Emerald and Marceline exit the portal, it closes looking like a normal if off looking wall.

"Well… we're nearby… better get ready to see a shocker… because I'm trying to track down a serial killer… and lets just say his M.O. is… sickening… and I'm not talking rape and a kill… no…" Emerald said as he looks serious as he starts walking.

"He skins a woman's back and makes their skin looks like wings hanging from their arms… in some kind of twisted fallen angel motif… honestly you should have seen it on the news or heard about it from ghostly victims if they didn't just pass on since I'm sure they would have regrets." Emerald said while he walks through the rain.

Marceline was shocked.

"Good grief… who is this jerk?"

"A guy some police are calling the Bishop… this guy seems like a religious nutjob… he preaches about the Globs and the people being *saved* by his work in some insane letters but all in all, its a load of bull… guys just deluded himself into thinking he is an apostle of Glob but in actuality he is a psycho I'm hired to track down and bring in… alive or dead… I have a license to kill just in case of guys like this so if we can't talk him into coming peacefully… well… may as well make sure his ghost can come with us." Emerald said while he had a serious look.

"Honestly if it was that goon squad, I could have taken on a small handful, not that large of a group… so while I'm thankful… unless he does some freaky spell stuff, leave him to me… he may know magic to exorcize ghosts which is why you may have never heard of him persay… he may have tried to cover his tracks in the name of Glob…" Emerald said while he approached a cordoned off area with a few police workers guarding the tape as Emerald approached one.

"Hey officer, sorry I'm late, ran into trouble and this nice ghost lent me a hand… she calls herself the Star since she can't remember much about her past except for her being obsessed with singing and stuff." Emerald said while he came up with a cover name for Marceline just in case since if Marceline had enemies, may as well make sure not many can link this spectre to her real identity.

The officer looks at Emerald and the *Star*.

"Well at least you're here. Still owe me a round of beers man."

"Considering I was chased by the mafia, I should ask you why these guys haven't been locked up yet." Emerald said while giving the officer a half lidded look.

"Hehe, sorry man. But you are right. These guys have been slippery. Seen their faces on paper." The Officer said.

"Right… well here, enough cash for 5 beers, try and not spend it all in one place… once I'm finished with this case, I'm leaving town for a bit to gather info on the Star and her place of death… she can't remember much and you know how ghosts are in not remembering their deaths and stuff… and she said she dies a few hundred years ago… may as well be a slave driver from day one as a favor for my skills for her helping me." Emerald said as he walked by the Officer with Marceline floating after him while she looks amused.

"Friend of yours?" Marceline said.

"Ehhh… sort of… guys name is butch… he more or less helps me with some cases and makes sure I don't get interrupted by rookies and stuff… he helps with support, I handle the heavy stuff with my brain with cases like this that stump the UCPD." Emerald said as he approached an open double door leading to a warehouse.

"Better get ready… because you're going to see a horror show." Emerald said when he entered the warehouse.

"We'll see about that." Marceline said as she floats after Emerald.

When she entered though… Marceline saw to her shock that the inside of the place looked like a damn church of all things… and on a large X shaped cross in a circle was a nude woman surrounded by police tape and while she didn't look damaged on the front… her back was another story… blood dripped from her back occasionally while dried blood was on her legs and feet making a large puddle of blood under her though that could have been just the humid air from the fog around the city making it hard to tell if it was water or blood from the candle light and other light sources… but her skin on her back was more or less flayed off her back besides sections connecting it to her as the rest was more or less somehow… fused with her arms… she looks to be a humanoid Squirell woman and Emerald pulls out a phone.

"The intel here is that she is a relative of a woman named Sally Acorn and Alicia Acorn… the news hasn't heard of this yet nor have the sisters heard of what happened to this woman… by her age and what not… either the mother or aunt or older relative given she is in her 30's to 40's while those two turned 18 recently… all in all this is a relative of a CEO of a business owner in Unknown City… so once the news hears of this… its FUBAR for many…" Emerald said calmly like he wasn't phased by this kind of sight.

"No kidding… shit." Marceline said as one of the officers shook their head.

"A sad sight."

"Yeah… good thing I can change this kind of outcome… normally when I get called… it's to solve extremely hard to solve cases that the UCPD can't solve and revive someone if I can trace the source of the murder to the murderer and get the spirit vengeance… its a long story but one of my magics for investigations you may have heard of the Star is a conditional revival spell… in this case the Bishop just made things easier for me since I don't have to search the city for this woman's ghost… one condition is that I summon the spirit of the deceased to my side and they help me locate their killer if they are willing… I learned this after making a deal with Life and Death when I studied some magic for my profession under safe tutelage similar to how the Jungle Kingdom is using shaman magic… mine just works differently… I can't change the past unfortunately but I can, under the right circumstances, revive the dead if the conditions are right… however there are three catches to this…" Emerald said as he held up three fingers.

Marceline blinks a bit.

"Wait… you spoke to Life and Death?!"

"Lets just say I had a near death experience when I was younger… WAY too young to be before my time… so Life and Death made a deal with me that when I turned 18 a few years ago, if I did them a few favors, they would revive me and then some so I could live a full life or more if I so wish… its a long story but long story short Death Fox was a pretty chill guy and Lady Life was kind… mainly my deal with them entailed me doing them some favors with the dead, more or less what I was training to do and stuff at the time… I accepted and while some of the missions I got were intense… I gained a few powerful abilities and magics that won't drive me insane… granted I do now have a split personality like you said but he comes out only when I'm using a certain magic since he can take that kind of magic and I can't… either that or when I let him take control sometimes… guys an ass but he doesn't do any real harm unless I say so… got majority control of my body… and stuff like that." Emerald said while he looks at the time on his phone.

"Time of death… less then 24 hours ago… alright… this can work…" Emerald said as he pockets his phone.

"Ready to see how I work for real as a detective?" Emerald said while he looks at Marceline from the side.

"Sure." Marceline said.

"Good… anyway the three conditions before I summon this woman's ghost… first… the body has to be in relatively good condition… ergo in more or less one piece… the spell I use will restore her once the case is solved so injuries and what not won't be an issue as long as we have a relatively intact body to work with… so good thing the Bishop doesn't leave too many wounds." Emerald said while he could see the body being in rather good condition despite the wounds on the body's back.

"Sounds fair. What's the second condition?" Marceline said.

"Simple, the ghost will want to have to return… similar to how the body will want to be intact for a ghost to bond with again, a body needs a ghost…. It sounds simple but its not… sometimes some spirits try and hitch a ride to try and get a free body so sometimes I have to be extra careful and kick ghostly ass and stuff in order to do anything in a proper order… with your help the Star… should be simple for you to deal with since the less fighting I have to do, the more investigation work I can handle… mainly I do the brainy stuff, you do the fun combat stuff unless holy magic is used… thats where I take over." Emerald said while he looks amused at that second part..

"Works for me. And the third condition?" Marceline said.

"Simple… in order for the full revival to happen… the sinner who killed the innocent needs to be judged… once captured I use the persons magical energy to be used as fuel and thanks to the fact they are helping me revive the dead… well… in a nutshell… one soul per sinner… and the sinner loses any and all powers they have… in life or death… so if I capture the Bishop and what not… and drained him of his magic to revive this lady here… he wouldn't be able to do anything magical again… in a nutshell… I'm burning out the rechargeable magical battery that the guys has instead of using my own magic energy… meaning I don't pay the cost… the sinner does… ergo… the revival doesn't happen till after we get the purp and make it so I can do this safely… for all we know I could revive you if we find out who killed you if your body is still in a good condition even if it maybe undead.." Emerald said while he smirks at Marceline.

Marceline's eyes widened.

"Dude… if you can I will give you my biggest thank you before I go look for Bonnie."

Emerald blinks at that.

"Really?... well its not like I do it to get laid or anything, though some ladies I revive and help out do repay me if they can't pay for my help in cash… some even became a few girlfriends of mine occasionally… I keep in touch with them so you may like them though I will say your condition is odd… especially since you're way too… detailed to be a normal ghost… something isn't adding up to me but we can deal with that issue later… for now we should help this woman out if were able… just make sure any extra ghosts summoned if they try and play it fancy tag along stay behaved and we will be good." Emerald said when he got ready for the summoning when he moved to conjure a odd looking pocket sized mirror from a inner coat pocket which had a skull motif with some snakes wrapped round it… probably a Dead world artifact given the deal Emerald made… either that or it was just for tastes but given Emerald pulled out a mirror, probably had something to do with the spell.

Marceline was confused but got ready for what's about to happen.

Emerald then starts to chant in an odd language as the mirror glow and an orb appears over the mirror… when it glows… a beam shot to the body and it glows for a moment… after this happened… Emerald closed his eyes as he breathed in and relaxed as he worked to focus on the spell as it worked… thankfully the orb changed to a green gentle glow.

"There… we have a soul incoming… I don't know if we have other souls trying to tag along though so get ready." Emerald said while he looks at Marceline.

Marceline got serious as she waits for the soul to appear.

When the soul appeared… turns out a couple lesser souls… souls with barely any kind of form appeared with the woman's soul and they tried to rush to the dead woman's body.

This had Marceline had her hand raised and she used her powers to stop them with telekenetic force.

"Oh no you don't. This body is not yours to take." Marceline said.

Emerald held up the mirror as he used a secondary feature, akin to what Danny Phantom does with his thermos as he shot a beam of energy at the two ghosts and they were sucked back into the ghost zo-er… the Dead world sorting… this left the woman's ghost and Emerald looks at her after he pockets the mirror.

"Hey there… not sure if you can remember what happened but… do you know where you are and what I did?" Emerald said while he wondered if this ghostly woman still had her intelligence..

"Y-Yes… I was… going to meet someone for a date… then next thing I was… knocked out before waking up to this… place." The woman said.

"Yeah… before you look back… you may want to brace yourself… you are a ghost right now… and I'm a detective that summoned you… thanks to some things, I can revive you but only if you help me capture the Bishop." Emerald said while he points behind the ghostly woman to the woman's body strung up on the cross.

The woman did look back and was shocked.

"My body!" She said as she can't believe this happened to her.

"Probably best you don't remember the pain in case you were alive… don't worry… you help me get the Bishop… you can get your body restored and put back without much issue… honestly its a shame you were killed, for a lady your age, you're rather youthful, guess pretty ladies like you got lucky in the gene pool with the Acorn family huh?... you have a name?" Emerald asked while he smiles kindly at the squirrel ghost woman.

The woman took a bit to calm down.

"D-Daisy."

"I see… well Daisy, its lovely to meet you." Emerald said when he smiles kindly as he gently took Daisy's ghostly hand and kissed it in a mannered way.

Daisy blushes a bit.

"T-Thanks. As for helping you… I'll do it. That fucker has to pay."

"Good… don't worry, your body will be well cared for… thankfully one spell I know is to track the killer based on malice thanks to the killer making a mark in your mind… its a handy tracking spell… the main downside is that I need to focus so while we run, I'll need you and The Star here to keep anyone who may try and get in our way from me… nuff said I may have pissed off the mafia by accident." Emerald said while he scratched his cheek with a finger.

"Huh?!" Daisy said.

"Long story." Marceline said.

"Yeah, don't worry, you don't have to worry about your safety, being a ghost, aside holy infused items, nothing can really harm you… just make sure to keep an eye out for things and The Star can keep the rough customers off our backs." Emerald said while he smiles at Daisy when he trusted her to be the scout.

Daisy blushes from that.

"I-I'll try."

"Nice… and don't worry for your body… hey Butch!... get in here, need another favor." Emerald said when he calls outside of the room.

Thats when another officer comes in.

"What is it?"

"I need Butch for this… need someone to get the body down, I got a way to track the Bishop and need Butch to make sure the body is more or less off the cross and on the ground nearby." Emerald said while he looks at the officer seriously while showing the ghost of Daisy Acorn the victim.

The officer uses a walkie-talkie.

"Hey Butch, Emerald needs you… like right now!"

This had Butch enter the warehouse as Emerald looks at him.

"Pretty sure you know the usual, need you guys to make sure the Body is OK and stuff while I track the Bishop… I'll contact you when I track him… you'll want to call an ambulance or a police car in case I can get the Bishop to surrender… if not… well… Lord Death fox may as well get a new soul to judge." Emerald said while he cracked his neck.

"Roger Roger." Butch said as he quickly got to Daisy's body.

As this happened, Emerald looks at Daisy.

"Ready?... I'll handle the Bishop so try and not worry, not my first capture or kill with a serial killer." Emerald said while he smiles calmly at Daisy when she looks worried.

"O-Okay." Daisy said as she believed Emerald knows what he's doing.

"Good… Ready to go The Star and explain your backstory to your temp ally here?" Emerald said while he looks at Marceline while he smiles at her.

"Sure." Marceline said before telling Daisy a bit of herself as they left.

After they left with Marceline now officially introducing herself and stuff, as the trio walk along a sidewalk… Daisy was just floored when she was speaking with the ghost of Marceline THE Vampire Queen.

"I-I can't believe it. I'm a big fan of your music. I always wanted to meet you before hearing about your… you know." Daisy said

"Yeah… Life's a bitch… not talking about her though." Marceline said.

"Yeah, she is rather friendly, honestly Death and I tag team her sometimes… sometimes being a Glob can be rough so they more or less swing after trying a LOT of things and what not." Emerald said while he shrugs his arms.

Daisy was shocked.

"Y-You actually fucked life herself?!"

"Yeah, sometimes she visits with her and Lord Death Fox's daughter for some tag team action… again its a long story but me being friendly with Globs give perks like helping your sexy spectral soul get a second chance at life after we find out where that killer is." Emerald said while he smirks at Daisy.

Daisy was again surprised as Marceline was curious.

"So Death is now a fox? Last I remember… he wasn't."

"Well… guess you may not know which shows you may have some scrambled memories or you were a ghost for a longer time then you thought but… thanks to an issue with Lady Life and the previous Death's son…. Well… the former Death was killed by his son… he took over as the New Death… Finn, who died of old age now at that point and was in the dead worlds… now that I remembered from some talks of old Dead world history books I rummaged around occasionally when in the dead worlds… well… he helped the world both the living and the dead one final time and more or less before reincarnating with Jake by saving the dead worlds by helping stop a plot that involved new Death wanting to try and destroy all the dead worlds… turns out that an old ancient enemy called the Lich tried one last thing to get rid of both worlds and used New Death to kill his old man, and while Finn and Jake wanted to try and get rid of new Death… they knew that one of them would have to become Death to beat new Death… funnily enough as they fough, a guy named Mr. Fox got in the way and unintentionally killed New Death making Mr. Fox well… Death Fox now… guy likes to nap but when he gets serious after his naps or you interrupt them by annoying him… well guy maybe a new kind of Death but he is still Death… don't want to piss off a nice guy since you know the saying… nice guys angered can be the scariest things." Emerald said while he had his hands in his pockets.

Marceline and Daisy were shocked.

"Holy. Shit. The Lich just keeps coming back." Marceline said while still couldn't believe a guy like actual Death can be killed.

"Not sure what that means but heard the guys is now just floating between worlds unable to get to either now… more or less the Lich is just a harmless speck in the Dead world sky… apparently Jake tossed the hand he was only able to inhabit into the void as New Death wreaked havoc so funnily enough New Death helped make a way to get rid of the Lich in a roundabout way… so we can hopefully cross the Lich off the list of killers who may have issues with you." Emerald said when he looks at Marceline.

"Yeah but can't be too careful. Let our guard down and bam… few times that happened, first it escaped its Maple sap prison, then killed Billy the old hero before using him like a suit. I remember Finn saying how the Lich killed Prismo the wishmaster…" Marceline said as she went on.

"… ironically Sweet P was able to reject that part of the Lich which was a good blessing."

"I see… wait Sweet P the hulking giant of an adventuring hero?... heard of him… big fan… your saying he has part of the lich in him?... thats news to me." Emerald said while he looks a bit surprised… guess some history books omitted that part for Sweet P's safety.

"I wouldn't say part but… more likely but a whole Lich. Finn hit him with magic goo that made a new good Lich. That other Lich was like from a different world that somehow came here." Marceline said.

Emerald facepalms.

"Great… so if our luck is anything to go by… may not deal with the Lich of this world or even the one that was in Sweet P… could deal with an entirely different one by that logic and for all we know, guy could be possessing your body since I heard he did the same thing with Billy the legendary hero before Finn… again history books but have to assume the worst in detective work… I mean its one thing to possess a body for a disguise… it would be another to possess a soulless body that can regen and not break down given the array of powers you were listed to have." Emerald said while he saw Marceline shudder from the image of her body with Lich horns and glowing demonic eyes.

"I really hope it's not that guy if he's back." Marceline said as Daisy gulps.

"Well that's for future us to deal with… ready to find out where the Bishop is Daisy?... I'll be casting the spell but you should know a side effect is that you'll have a more… bloodthirsty side while you track him… mainly I'm tapping into your more… Wraith side so you will temporarily more or less be forced to haunt the guy and Marceline and I would have to follow you as you rush for him." Emerald said while he looks at Daisy seriously.

Daisy was nervous but looks determined.

"I'm ready. I don't want anyone else to suffer from that maniac."

Emerald nods his head as he heard this.

"Alright… just remember two things… one… the guy may know holy magic so he could cause you issues even in your more wraith like state…. So try and remember not to get too close to him… and two… we need him alive in order to revive you… afterwords though, I can kill him if you wish or capture him to pay for his crimes… either he would be dealt with by the police or he would be dealt with by Death Fox… either way in life or death he wouldn't live well… so it would be your call on what happens." Emerald said while he gave Daisy a serious look as his right index finger glows with a dark mist when he got ready to cast his spell.

Daisy nods her head.

"I understand."

Emerald nods before he moved to poke Daisy's forehead after muttering something and well… Marceline watched as Daisy starts to growl as she starts emitting a black mist while her mouth gained sharp teeth like shape… her eyes look feral… and her blue spectral glow turned pitch black before it lightened up to look less dark as Emerald speaks.

"Daisy… remember that the Bishop has to live for you to be revived… try and stay ground level and lead Marceline and I to him… I'll make sure you get your vengance and bring you back to life… now… go!" Emerald ordered to give a now Wraith stated Daisy a drive for listening in her current state.

Daisy growls before she starts leading the duo to where the Bishop can be.

As this happened with Emerald and Marceline giving chase… the scene went to elsewhere with a figure ominously chuckling as he carried some kind of bible, had a priest outfit on… and had a wide unnerving grin.

"Hehehehehe… I'm so glad the last sinner made it to Globs good graces… I can't rest yet… the night is still young… and I should make sure the sinner doesn't stay alone in the dead worlds!" The Figure said as the figure moved to pull a photo of two Squirrel-chipmunk looking humanoid women and the figure grins as the camera pulls back to show an imposing figure with a mad look in his eyes as he looks at a large building with two women in the picture starting to walk out towards a limo.

"Hehehehe… and seems like my sheep in need of shepherding have shown up… this is the grace of the Globs… thank you dear globs for this mission!... I shall not fail you!" The Bishop said as he rushed towards the two…

At the same time.

"Seriously Ali… you really can't get in contact with Daisy?... I figured she would be here long ago… you think her phone died?" one of the two women said… she was looking at a woman similar to herself… currently the scene showed Sally and Alicia Acorn… Sally was the head of Acorn industries while her sister, Alicia was named after their mother, she was nicknamed Ali by many mainly to tell the two apart given how similar Sally and Ali looked to one another… Sally was in a business suit that hugged her curves well while Ali was wearing a cute fur dress… mainly it was enchanted to resist the rain and it was fake fur so it wasn't bad to wear in the cold weather.

"I tried everything Sal. Call, text, even video calls. I'm not getting any responses." Alicia said with a concerned look.

"Yeah well use everything we have to locate her… I heard a psychopathic killer was here in Unknown City and I don't want any fuck ups in protecting family." Sally said while she and Ali approach the Limo though… a massive figure jumping and landing on the Limo with a number of guards getting around Sally and Ali armed to protect them as they look to see a hulking figure in priest robes with a large hat, a large bible of Globs and he had a large cross like weapon in one hand.

"Hehehehe… sorry but I overheard you two… but I'm truely sorry to say your dear Aunt won't be coming… is is with the grace of the Globs now." The Bishop said with a grin as he stands tall as he move to throw Sally a photo of Sally and Ali to the duo.

Alicia was shocked.

"S-She's dead?!" She said.

"Who are you?" Sally said with a narrow look.

The Bishop then adjusts his collar and smiles with a saint like smile.

"I am known to many here as the Bishop!... I am here to shepherd you all to the grace of Glob and I figured why let dear Daisy go alone when I could make sure she is reunited with the rest of her family… don't worry my dears… I'll make sure that you don't suffer." The Bishop said with such a kind smile that it was scary in of itself as he steps off the limo with a thud as a few of the guards got between him and Sally and Ali.

"Hold it you freak keep away from the ladies or you'll be eating lead!" the head guard said as the Bishop tilts his head.

"Freak?... my dear boy, I'm only doing what the Globs need of me… the filth in this world is so much that I was given a sacred mission to cleanse the sinners and make them regret their sins when they go to Glob and get their forgiveness." The Bishop said before he grins wildly.

"Still I am a fair man… if you want to defend these ladies feel free… I'll make sure your deaths are painless since your only doing what you're given lot in life is after all…" The Bishop said as the guards opened fire as the Biship gripped his weapon but… the bullets just bounce off him with yellow to white ripple like effects as he stands there while many look shocked when the Bishop was unharmed… some even tried to use rifles yet nothing happened while the Bishop smiles warmly.

"Got it all out of your system boys?... I should tell you that I'm protected by the grace of the Globs… as long as my faith stays strong… I'm under their protection." the Bishop said as he held a hand up in a single handed prayer with the book in it as he looks to the sky.

"Oh thank you for this divine protection dear Globs… I'll make sure I do my duty dilligently!" The Bishop said while he had tears streaming from his eyes.

"You are sick!" Sally said as Alicia was freaked out.

The Bishop just looks at the group with a smile.

"I don't expect low level believers and sinners to understand my methods… but don't worry… I'll make sure that none of you suffer." The Bishop said with him gaining a dark grin though.

"You know… if the Globs really are on your side… why is there a vengeful spirit helping me locate you." A male voice said making many blink as they look to see a human man in a trench coat, had a hat on his head, he had a rather humanoid ghostly woman floating near him… and while feral while looking at the Bishop… Sally and Ali recognized her instantly on sight alone.

"Daisy?!" The two sisters said with wide eyes.

"Oh my my my…" The Bishop said with a surprised look as he looks at the trio… mainly Daisy.

"I could have sworn I made sure you passed onto the Dead worlds in peace… how is this even possible?" The Bishop said as Emerald looks amused.

"What?... you worship the Globs yet have no idea how this is possible… similar to you I may as well worship the Globs and have powers thanks to them…" Emerald said as he starts walking forward after he rubs Daisy on the head to calm her when she looks livid.

"... However I'm not worshipping low level deities like you who worship Golb… I investigated you and you worship those like Golb, the Lich… you deluded yourself into thinking your doing Globs work when in fact your just an insane killer… and more or less you worship dark type deities which probably fuels your powers that you have which may as well be F-A-K-E borrowed powers or just making it seem like your a follower of Glob… well guess what… I worship Lady Life and Lord Death Fox and the better kind of Globs around… and being rather close with them to boot since I can actually visit and talk with them… a few abilities that they gave me may as well spit in the face of your religion since a few allowed me to see the past to some level… gain intel and evidence of your crimes and I can summon the souls that you killed like Daisy here to help me find you…when I kick you ass… I can revive this sexy spectre with your magic as a fual source and you lose any and all powers you have for the rest of your life… if you live or die… I could care less… either your judged by mortals, or your judged by the Glob of Death after you die… either way… I'll have fun kicking your ass… so you false prophet… may as well skip the how dare you speach and just get right to the boss battle of this tutorial… honestly your so low level that I didn't even need to tell my assistant how many of my powers work…" Emerald said while he smirks as he walked by Daisy and as Emerald opened his coat, he pulled out two revolvers that he held… they looked like normal handguns but seemed to have odd markings on them.

Marceline was surprised.

"Wait… you had guns with you the whole time and you didn't use them on the mafia dudes?"

"Ehh… magic is faster and stuff for large groups… for guys like this that need a special touch… Dead world made weapons that pack more of a punch then they let on… trust me if I used these… Lady life and Lord Death fox would have a field day of getting onto me for using these on normal mortals." Emerald said though he and many look to see the Bishop gritting his teeth and looking VERY angered now from all the insults Emerald used by calling his religion fake and more… and using his powers to summon the ghosts of those he *Saved* just added more to his anger… honestly to the Bishop, Emerald may as well be enemy number one with how his powers acted.

"Fool!… you dare insult my faith and use the Spirits of the sinners I helped saved?!" The Bishop said.

"Yeah… I do… what are you going to do about it?" Emerald said while gesturing for the Bishop to rush him if he wanted.

Thats when the Bishop starts laughing like a maniac.

Emerald got on guard with a serious look when he heard that as he got ready for anything from the Bishop.

"You have underestimated my power!" The Bioshop said before he said some in cantation and a coffin pops up out of nowhere.

It opens up and Marceline's eyes widened when she saw the what was inside.

Inside was the skeletal remains of… Finn!

The main reason that it was a Finn skelet was pretty simple… it had a robotic arm Bubblegum made when Finn was in his elder age…

"What?... what's with the skeleton?... if a soul reincarnated you would have a tough job in using some rando's skeleton against me in a fight if he is your real muscle." Emerald said while not aware this was Finn's skeletal corpse… seems whatever Finn rested in kept his skeleton in pristine condition so there was no real age to it.

Marceline looks at Emerald.

"That's no random Skeleton. That's Finn's skeleton."

"Wait what!?..." Emerald said before he looks at the priest with narrow eyes.

"OK while that is a shocker… bad news you fake priest… but from what Life and Death fox told me, Finn reincarnated a few times over so good luck using his soul for those remains." Emerald said when he wondered what the priest had in mind for Finn's remains specifically.

"Hehe… I won't need the soul of the hero for this." The Bishop said cryptically.

Emerald narrows his eyes at this while he got his guns at the ready but then rolls his eyes.

"Oh fuck this then." Emerald said as he fired a bullet at the skeleton itself while time slowed for a moment as the bullet sails towards the skeleton in the coffin.

Though shockingly…

Finn's mechanical arm reaches up and blocks the bullet.

"What the?!" Marceline said with a surprised look.

The coffin broke from the impact which surprised the Bishop a bit as well but… Finn's remains got up after letting the steaming bullet go while Emerald looks surprised by this kind of development… more so when green energy starts emitting from the skeletons's remains in a way VERY familiar to Marceline.

"Oh no…" Marceline said as Sally and Alicia head for cover.

Emerald though did a quick reload of one bullet in the gun showing up close it was a revolver type gun as Emerald looks at the Bishop.

"So… this a grace from your Glob?... mind explaining why this guys remains are moving like that?" Emerald said while he got on guard with both guns aimed at the skeleton and the Bishop.

The Bishop chuckles.

"Why bother, you'll die anyway."

Emerald shrugged.

"Fine by me… lets see how well that relic of a hero does against a bullet that can harm globs… enchanted by Life herself!" Emerald said while he aimed his gun at Finn's remains and fired this time the bullet glowing with etheral energy while a snake like spectre formed around the bullet as it flew.

However, Finn's body dodged with fast speed.

This had the bullet fly by and… meld through a wall harmlessly… looks like the bullet worked mainly on the spectral… this had Emerald change his bullets and reloads more Life blessed bullets into the right gun and pure black bullets in the left revolver… this had Emerald watch the skeleton as he wondered what else the Bishop had in mind.

The Bishop grins.

"Good my pet. Keep that heretic on his toes."

Emerald on his end looks at his odds before he sighs.

"Well I'm at a loss… its one thing to fight you Mr. Fake priest… its another to fight a turbo charged possessed skeleton… may as well let my better half for close combat take over." Emerald said while he holsters his gunts and pulled out an odd looking pistol that had some really odd markings on it… it looked to be a more modern day gun with cartridge bullets… at first it looked like Emerald was giving up… right before he aimed the damn gun at his own head!?

"Emerald?! What are you doing?!" Marceline said.

"Simple." Emerald said as he pulled the hammer back.

"If this guy brings out his ace in the hole at the start… why don't I bring out my own ace… sorry for the foul language he uses…" Emerald said in advance as he pulls the trigger and well… the bullet pierced his head knocking him off his feet and onto the ground seemingly unmoving as Emerald fell to land on his side before he flopped onto his back while shadows cover his eyes.

"EMERALD!" Marceline screams as the Bishop laughs.

"Suicide… he'll definitely burn for eternity." He said as Sally and Alicia and even a feral Daisy were stunned.

However before many could do much… an ominous black mist starts to emit from Emerald's body for some reason… slow at first… mainly from the wound on Emerald's head which slowly seals up before the mist grew stronger and enveloped Emerald's body in no time.

"What the?" Marceline said as the Bishop stops laughing and notice the mist.

"What is this?... what in the world is this heathe-!" The bishop said as a voice spoke from the black mist.

"Oh shut the everlasting fuck up you reject priest wanabe… bet guys like you would get off on anything immoral if your willing to kill in the way you do… hehe… bet you'll suck the cock of the Lich if he wished it huh?" Emerald? Said as he slowly got off the ground as the dark mist strengthened more while his voice sounded off… practically demonic like… and… damn did he have the worst curse words in the world right now.

"E-Emerald?" Marceline said as the priest was feeling anger.

As the mist fades… Emerald's voice spoke with an amused tone.

"Hehe… not quite you sexy demon of a spectre… let me introduce myself." Emerald? Said as he swiped his hands and well… all of his clothing and body was covered in a black mist or shell like coloring so he looked like he was in some kind of inky state while his eyes glow with a pure white light.

"Name's Dark to many here who don't get the memo… I'm the guy who kicks the assed my wimpy Light side can't take on… I'm Emerald's Darkside… the badass side who more or less makes this shared body look good and looks like I got a good fight with a possible pedofile of a priest who jerks it to little boys I bet given how sick he is already, and a long overdue to be smashed in relic of hero remains… bet if his spirit was here he would be fucking livid someone was using his body as a fucking toy… and I don't even want to know what else you do with these remains if you use it more then for combat… ugh makes me sick." Emerald? Or Dark said showing that he was VASTLY different then Emerald… first off by calling Emerald Light it seems while he REALLY didn't hold back in infuriating insults to the priest mainly… though he didn't hold back with flirts to Marceline either…

As Marceline blushes from that, the Bishop scoffs.

"Bah! Matters not Heathen… once I'm done with you, you'll be double dead. Your corpse though will be quite usual for my plans."

Dark shudders.

"Oh!... I don't even want to know what some of your plans are you sicko… bet you got some nasty ideas but unless genderbent with magic, this sexy piece of a Darkside is straight and for the sexy ladies here." Dark said while he winks at a few ladies like Daisy, Sally, and Ali while looking amused when the Bishop looks like he would pop a blood vessel right now.

"Do not question my sexuality, you vile heretic!" The Bishopn said.

"Hey you're the insane one killing people… I'm the guy who makes you regret it… lets skip the banter now and get to the fight because right now…" Dark said with a demented grin as he rushed with many times Emerald's normal speed and he slugged the Skeleton away from the Bishop and before many could react, Dark kicked the Bishop in the gut knocking him away from Finn's remains and despite the hulking form of the Bishop… he skids by quite a bit as Dark stands between the Bishop and Finn's remains as Dark held his arms out while he gripped his hands cracking his knuckles.

"Now then… shall we start the excommunication of a mad perverted priest and his unwilling fucktoy of a pawn?" Dark said while he grins as he grins mockingly at the priest mainly.

"Y-You'll pay for that." The Bishop said as he gets up before he made Skeletal Finn attack Emerald.

As the remains attack Dark and the Bishop rushed to do the same, boss battle music played, to be exact, it was the Stains of time from Metal gear rising revengance and Dark moved in spin and redirects the attacks away from him and since the Skeleton was the main issue, at least by normal means… Dark instead shot towards the Bishop with an insane grin and kneed him in the face making the Bishop fly back as blood spurts from his nose and at an insane angle, Dark used a shot from the Life blessed bullets towards Finn's remains and the blast rockets Dark towards the Bishop..

Bishop groans as he tries to get up but eyes widened before trying to dodge Dark.

This results in Dark using some REALLY erratic movement with a gun fired in the air to make him spin and reached out to grab the collar of the coat the Bishop had and moved to used the force to knee him in the face again REALLY messing up his nose more… honestly it was like Dark was going for a serious knock out but he also did grin when he spun in the air from the knee to the face and fired one of the black bullets at one of the Priests limbs… the arm holding the Glob bible and unlike with the guards normal bullets, this bullet pretty much pierced the arm of the Priest making him drop his book as the recoil was many times more intense then the Life blessed bullets making Dark launch back from the priest with Dark having a twisted grin when he lands on his feet a bit from the priest who screams in agony when he held his bleeding arm.

"Gah! You bastard!" The Bishop said as he held his arm more.

"Hehe… what?... your faith not strong enough to block Death blessed bullets?... shame… guess your glob is a weakling… where is your glob now!?" Dark said while he aimed his Death blessed bullets filled revolver at the Bishop as Dark moved to avoid the attack by the skeleton as Dark jumps back.

"Hey you sexy spectre partner of Light… mind if I destroy these remains of your old friend?... pretty sure if he was here… he wouldn't want his remains used by this sick fuck." Dark said when he watched the skeleton remains of Finn that riddles a bit near him while Dark talked with Marceline on this matter.

Marceline did frown.

"I would say no… but Finn's body deserves better. Do what you can do. Hopefully later he gets a proper burial… again.

Dark grins as he emits a black mist as his power spiked.

"Don't worry… there can be either a skull at least or fragments of his skeleton to burn for a cremation ceremony… for now though…" Dark growls while he looks at the injured Bishop and the reanimated remains of Finn.

"It's time to really have fucking fun by bringing the curtain down on this Psycho bishop and his sick games with playing with the dead like he does!" Dark growls with a grin as he clenched a hand while he looks at the Bishop and the reanimated remains of Finn the ancient hero before the scene fades to black as the Bishop growls as he glared at Emerald though… he did grin ominously as his fallen bible starts to glow lightly in a subtle way before the scene fully fades to black.
