A scene opens up with Atomsk waiting for TME to show up.
TME came into the room when he rushed in.
"Hey sorry for this, had to update laptop so things took time." TME said while he rubs the back of his head.
"No worries man. Sorry for my end. Guess the times are a bit crossed." Atomsk said.
"No kidding… least we get some serious things done since today is Sunday so no work for you today and monday right?" TME said while he grins at Atomsk before he noticed Bubblegum and Marceline near Atomsk… and Marceline looks amused while Bubblegum had a half lidded look on her face.
"H-Hehe… hey Marcy… PB… Marceline looks amused but… you're not steamed on Marceline being a ghost in this story right PB?... chances are she can be revived if her body is intact so…" TME said when he looks worried since this Ghostly Marceline would be a shocker for Bubblegum more then Marceline.
"Oh I got some words… but they will be said off camera." Bubblegum said.
"Oh boy… we're in trouble." Atomsk said.
"Hehe, relax Bonnie, can't say this is too unexpected, I mean given how I'm the leading lady here, doubt they would keep me dead dead… pretty sure it maybe awhile but pretty sure I'll get my body back." Marceline said while she pats Bubblegum's back in a soothing way.
Bubblegum sighs.
"Alright. Hopefully something good happens as I didn't like how Finn's remains were used."
"Hehe, yeah, least you can't deny I make being a sexy ghost look good…. And hey pretty sure if Finn was alive at the time… or a ghost or something or a new life with memories… he would want Emerald to kick his remains bony ass since a killer is using his bones." Marceline said when she smacked Bubblegum on her ass to mess with her.
Bubblegum jolts as Atomsk was amused.
"Well depends on the timeline. Who knows, he may come back… as a woman. We remember the Shoko event ladies and gentlemen."
"Maybe… still have Shermy and Beth as a thing and it was highly suggested it was Finn and Jake's reincarnations… not said though so could be speculated but… VERY suggested… anyway we can deal with that later… any questions before we get into the chapter?" TME asked while Marceline had one.
"Yeah… will future investigations have actual investigations?... seems like we skipped steps last chapter." Marceline said as TME nods.
"Technically the chapter started out WAY after Emerald's initial investigation on the Bishop, mainly your ghostly self teamed up with him well after Emerald was done officially investigating things, and since the Bishop is a well known killer in the Unknown City… was more or less just an open and shut case on who did this since the guy would have been well known… trust me future cases will be a LOT more complicated though not so much that they would try and rival detective Conan or Cased Closed cases… man I really should rewatch that series… over 1000 mysteries hehe." TME said while he grins as he had fond memories of the kid sized detective.
"Yeah. Saw a few episodes myself." Atomsk said.
"Yeah… anyway don't worry Marceline… things will get a lot more mysterious… hehe… guess Bubblegum is a good influence on you since you're wanting some brainy stuff to happen huh?" TME said while he looks amused at Marceline.
Marceline lightly blushes.
"Maybe."
Bubblegum sniffs for a second when she was proud that Marceline was using her head more while TME looks more amused.
"And don't worry, plenty of lemons will happen soon… may as well be a celebration later but for now, Emerald or his Dark half has to deal with the Bishop and Finn's remains though… for now we should get to them but any questions before we start this chapter officially?" TME said while he grins at the ladies mainly.
"Yes. Is that Dark persona a permanent thing?" Bubblegum said.
"You mean permanent thing as in he is sticking around or permanent as in sticking with Emerald even after he swaps back?... mainly both… Dark can give control back to Emerald since Dark may as well be a split personality who takes all the brunt of Emerald's magical use thanks to Life and stuff reworking his soul so he can do his job properly… mainly Dark is like an unbound Emerald… he may want to have fun with a ghostly Marceline first before he vanishes though for now hehe… worried about his foul mouth infecting Marceline?" TME said while grins at Bubblegum to mess with her now.
Bubblegum blushes as Marceline chuckles.
"It's no different than that character you guys made that swears like a sailor."
"Surge?, Ayuyat?... well given some stories not like you would complain, especially with Surge hehe… who knows, can have Surge show up in another investigation so she can help out with things…" TME said while he looks really amused now.
"Hehe, can work." Marceline said with an amused look.
"Nice… lets get started on the chapter then… just to check, Atomsk, ladies… you three remember what happened last chapter?... I'll start by saying that Emerald was protecting Sally and Ali from the Bishop by using Daisy's ghost in a feral wrath like state to track the guy down…" TME starts out while checking to see how much the trio remembered.
"Besides the Bishop using Finn's remains… that's pretty much it." Atomsk said.
"To be fair, there was that glowing bible thing but I'm pretty sure thats for this chapter… may as well get started now." Marceline said as TME nods.
"Very well… time to start the second chapter with the Darkside taking down the twisted Bishop." TME said as the scene shifts to…
Ooo/ Unknown City/ ?/ Emerald, Marceline, Daisy, Sally, Ali, Sally and Ali's guards, Bishop, Finn's remains
Currently the scene showed the grinning Bishop as he held his injured arm while Dark had his guns in his hands while he looks curious as he looks at the Bishop.
"Hey you sick fuck… why the hell are you grinning when your arm has a hole in it?... got off on the pain?" Dark taunts to mess with the Bishop though he did frown when something felt off… more so when the Priest looks to the sky with one hand with his blood on it.
"Oh Globs!... this must be a trial by you all to test my faith but don't worry!... I'll take care of this heathen and continue my sacred mission in delivering sinners to you!" The Bishop said while he had an unnerving grin showing he must have some kind of ace in the hole despite Dark seemingly having a 1 up on him if he focused on the priest.
"Okay… this guy is beyond crazy. Manic crazy." Marceline said.
"Eh… when it comes to psychopaths, they normally don't listen to logic or reason, I mean take me for instance… if not for Light…" Dark said before he gained a scary blood crazed grin on his face.
"Who knows what I can REALLY do when not on a leash called morality hehe." Dark ominously said with a twisted look on his face which on Emerald's face didn't sit right.
"Glob… this side of you is so different than Emerald's despite the short meeting." Marceline said.
"HA!... I take that as a compliment sweet spectral cheeks!... if anything I'm an upgrade of what Light can do… after all what Light can do, I can do better… after all without Darkness Light cannot exist and vice versa… but in my case hehe… I'm the stronger personality." Dark said with a smug grin as Marceline blushed a bit at the sweet spectral cheeks part but she did have a hand on her hip.
"Yet he has control though." Marceline quipped making Dark balk.
"S-Shut up!... its only a matter of time before I get full control!... you'll be begging me for mercy if you keep messing with me!" Dark said with him shaking his fist though Marceline looks amused when she noticed Finn's remains rush Dark.
"Hey heads up oh almighty Dark." Marceline said making Dark blink before he grumbles.
"Ohhhhh…. If I'm in relatively good condition… I'll be making that spectral ass gap for those teases!" Dark growls before he aimed his guns at Finn's remains and starts fighting as the Bishop was chanting something as his wounded arm starts to heal up.
Finn's remains starts dodging the bullets while trying to get close to Dark.
Dark grins at this since even when Finn's remains get close and as Finn's remains gripped one arm, Dark grins in a twisted way and moved to actually fire a Death blessed bullet through his arm in the skeleton's blind spot and though Dark lost one arm from the elbow down, the remains got hit hard in the chest breaking off one side of his body though Dark just chuckles as he picked up his fallen arm while seemingly not feeling pain… hell while this did shock many… Marceline was more shocked when the dark energy Dark used when he moved to reattach his arm… well it felt like seriously dense energy from the Nightosphere… more exactly this energy felt familiar… like it came right from the amulet of the Nightosphere itself somehow…
"Okay… shocking but sensing some… Deja Vu moment here." Marceline said.
While this happened, Dark looks amused when Finn's remains tried to pull itself back together from the left side with the torso and while it was able to bring its bones together… the fragments just… fell after turning into a discolored way and Dark chuckles while the Bishop who recovered, looks shocked by this.
"What!?" The Bishop said as Dark looks at him while waving his now recovered arm.
"What?... I used Death blessed bullets… unless it's yours truly who is immune to said effects via Death Fox's choice… even regenerators can't recover easily… granted you did use healing spells so gotta hand it to you, whichever Glob you work with of the dark variety, least they have some ways of being annoying with healing skills at least though thats nothing on the sexy Lady Life and her daughters skills hehe… I mean Death blessed these bullets and even the gun they are fired from have similar effects so even normal bullets can render regen an non-issue… another good hit and your skeletal meatless shield may as well just be a old relic that should be retired…" Dark said as he used magic to reload his guns with bullets.
"You insolent whelp!… you're definitely gonna beg for mercy now!" Bishop said.
All Dark did much to everyone's shock was just turn to the Bishop with his backside and smacks it.
"Well I'm right here big guy… come get it since your so obsessed with peoples backsides!" Dark said before giving the Bishop the middle finger.
"That's it!" Bishop said in anger before he starts chanting.
This had a number of orbs of light form over him and they all rush Dark… this made Dark grin when he used a fourth gun, one with normal ammo though, to blast each magical blast like he was at a simple target practice.
While this did anger the Bishop more, the camera moved to Daisy when she carefully circled around to Sally and Ali to make sure they were OK.
"Sally… Ali… are you two alright?... didn't get a good look from how far I was." Daisy said while she made many jolt thanks to Daisy being a ghost and in a wraith-like state though she seemed pretty calm now since Emerald before he let Dark take over calmed her a bit.
"D-Daisy? What has happened to you?" Ali said.
"Well she is a ghost but still…" Sally said.
Daisy sighs before she looks angered.
"Its that damned priest… he killed me and right now I can't do anything to help Emerald… he gave me a second chance and if not for the fact the guy can banish my spirit to the Dead worlds, I would have rushed the fucker for what he did to my body… if you saw the news on the latest killings… you should know the fallen angel motif that fake priest uses." Daisy said though this got the Bishop's attention.
"Fake?... I'll have you know my dear that this was a mission from the Globs themselves… you saying this must mean you didn't get sent to the Globs did you?" The Bishop said though… a bullet going by his head did make him blink and growl as he looks at Dark while Dark, with an oddly serious look on his face did look at him as Dark, slightly damaged when he got a few hits to his body, had his foot on the remaining chest cavity of Finn's remains before smashing it.
"You know… I've seen many psychopaths ever since Light started this kind of job being a detective… going from city to city… kingdom to kingdom… but even I can't stomach this hypocrisy you keep spewing… the Globs?... giving YOU this mission?... humor me… what kind of mission is it that would have you kill people and put them in the states that when Light bring ghosts back like Daisy here… she eagerly led my other half and his assistant right to you?... if this is Globs plan… then I may as well get ready to kill some Globs if needed once I'm through with you." Dark said and as he reloads his guns, he looked dead serious in killing Globs if needed if they would get in his way.
"Hah! No mortal can kill a Glob! Fate can not be denied!" The Bishop said.
"Really?... mind explaining why we have Lord Death Fox instead of Death himself then?... guy more or less was a mortal ghost who replaced Death after Death's son offed his old man and well… you get the idea since it should be in some history books." Dark said while he cracked his nack as he picked up Finn's skull and moved to pocket it since it seemed to lose whatever energy it had for now.
Bishop got angry.
"Enough with your lies. The Globs gave me this mission and I will not fail!"
Dark had a raised eyebrow and he looks at Marceline.
"Welp… guess reasoning with guys like this never work out… would have better chances reasoning with mad Wizards." Dark said before he looks back as the Priest held out his cross like weapon in one hand though he held his other hand out as he knew he wouldn't win unless used his secret weapon he had.
"Like a heathen would understand!... My work will NOT be stopped by a corrupted being like you!" The Bishop said as the fallen Bible, seemingly charging with energy over time built up power and burst… firing energy which hit the priest head on obsuring his body from sight as he laughs while his silhouette starts to… look off…
Meanwhile on a far off rooftop…
"My my my… looks like that guy… what was his name?... ehh… I forgot… may as well call him what the people here in this dump of a city call him… the Bishop is using the ace in the hole already?... honestly a bit overkill but… eh… what do you think Whisper?" A feminine figure said next to another feminine figure… looks like they were using binoculars to watch the fight happen between the Bishop and Dark and saw Dark finish off the remains of Finn and pockets the skull and stuff.
On closer inspection… the two were humanoid animal women… one looked to be a wolf woman wearing a mask… the other looked like a Lemur woman with a long tail… and the lemur woman said all this to the Wolf woman most likely named Whisper… either real name or a code name…
"Hmmm… he's too easy with the anger, Tangle." Whisper said,
"Yeah… honestly I can get why the boss wanted us to get rid of him since he is making too much of a commotion… still this is interesting… think that Emerald guy that we tailed here can take the Bishop down?... honestly when he shot himself it did shock me but pulling a transformation on top of a personality change… reminds me of one of the head captains of our group hehe… Sonic right?... though why does this kind of Dark form seem off to me?" Tangle said when she watched as the Bishop's form changed once the light dims as Whisper had one final thing to say.
Whisper narrows her squinted eyes.
"I don't know but… we should watch and study this. Can be good info to take back."
As Tangle smiles at this while the duo look on… the scene went back to the fight with the pillar of light fading before the light was blasted away as the Bishop lift his shirt and while showing an impressive physique, he somehow gained golden wings of light and starts floating in the air as he laughs as he looks down on Dark.
"Scared of my powers now? This is the results of being rewarded!" The Bishop said.
Though all Dark did was just aim his gun and fired making the Bishop move to the side with a growl.
"You know… you really talk too much… and from me thats saying something fuckwad… all you became was more of a target with lightbright wings to a gunner like me." Dark said before he grins mockingly at the Bishop.
The Bishop was seething with anger.
"After I take your soul… your body would be maggot food."
Dark just grins more as he pulls back the hammer of his gun.
"Let's get started then so I can have fun with some ladies after I kick your insane ass!" Dark growls when he fired a bullet though many were surprised when Dark's bullet bounces off the Bishop as Dark frowns from this, just to make sure he didn't use the wrong ammo… he opened the revolver and checked to see he used a Death blessed bullet alright and this just made the Bishop laugh in a mad way from this.
"HAHAHA!... what?... you shocked in that your puny weapon has no effect?... in this state I may as well be invincible!" The Bishop said shocking many since if this guy can't be harmed by a Glob blessed bullet… what then?... still Dark got serious for a moment though… he starts to chuckle much to many people's confusion… right before Dark full blown laughs in a crazed way of his own as a darker mist emits from him.
"What's so funny to you?" The Bishop said.
Dark calmed himself before he grins as he holsters his guns for now.
"Simple… I'm having a fucking blast… I can now get serious for the first time in my life since most normally go down like fucking low level goons… a mid-boss like you will be a fun challenge of a warm up for me." Dark said before he emits a darker mist from his body and only his glowing eyes and unnerving grin could be seen.
"Lets just see how invisible you are and see if its not a bluff!... everyone has a weakness and I doubt you're the exception!" Dark growls before he rockets fast towards the Bishop with a wild grin.
The Bishop was shocked at the speed before he tries to move away.
Though while he did move in the air to avoid the rush, Dark gripped the edge of the Bishop's wing and moved to flip in the air over the Bishop, pulls out a gun, and moved to blast the air behind him with a Glob blessed bullet like a life blessed bullet oddly enough as Dark was launched to kick the Bishop kicking him HARD to ground level and this had the Bishop growl when Dark used another life based blast to launch him at the Bishop though as the Bishop swings his Cross shaped weapon, Dark lands on it mid swing, gave a kiss in the air mocking the Bishop as Dark was launched high into the sky while giving the Bishop the middle finger again with his free hand and Dark laughs when the Bishop looks livid at all the mocking he was experiencing.
This angers the Bishop as he now starts charging at Dark with great intent to kill him.
This had him swing his large cross shaped weapon with many swings, at first Dark was able to dodge many of them, but he was surprised when he had to avoid a sudden blast of light when he heard a ping like sound and this surprised him since he didn't see what caused it and he grits his teeth when he felt a burning sensation as the blast of light warped around and pierced him on the right leg making him jump back from the Bishop as Dark looks down to see a large hole in his leg as the Bishop laughs at Dark's situation since he was crippled in speed now.
"HAHAHAHAHA!... what now Heathen!... What kind of quip do you have to say before you die!" The Bishop said as he rushed Dark while Sally, Ali, Marceline, Daisy, and the guards watch in horror as the Bishop drew close since without Dark to deal with this killer… no one else could deal with him right now given what many saw.
"Emerald!" Marceline called though as the Bishop drew close… Dark suddenly smirks.
"Man… you are… one easy to bait nutcase." Dark suddenly said while he looks amused now and in the Bishops blind spots… because he was so focused on Dark… to many peoples shock… a number of Life blessed bullets suddenly came from many directions all towards the Bishop from various angles somehow and well… many parts of the guy were pierced and unlike with the blocking from earlier… these bullets managed top pierce various parts of his body making him bleed greatly thanks to some serious parts of his body being pierced as the spectral parts of the bullets tore through the guys body… one of his legs were removed… his arm holding the cross weapon was severed… the wings were more or less destroyed and finally his spine was hit right at the waist more or less paralysing him from the waist down and Dark looks amused when the shocked Bishop fell on the ground in a shocked state.
"W-What!?... h-how… you… always… missed or… used them against that… relic…" The Bishop said as Dark smirks evilly.
"You have a serious misunderstanding… since when have I ever said Life infused bullets cannot harm the living?... they are more or less sentient bullets with one thing in mind… taking their target down… and will track their target to the ends of Ooo to do so…" Dark said while he moved to ominously grip the Bishop on his face as he stands while ignoring the wound in his leg like it didn't even effect him as he lifts the much bulkier Bishop who used his remaining hand to grip Dark's arm but Dark didn't budge as Dark smirks and mockingly said this with a teasing grin.
"Where is your Glob now fucker?... because looks to me… you have been abandoned by Glob you fake apostle." Dark said as he drew his free hand back after using magic to dismiss his guns as a lot of dark energy focused in his left fist.
"I-Impossible… I was their… chosen." Bishop said.
All Dark did was grin in a twisted way and said this final line to the weakened Bishop.
"Well where is YOUR glob!... because I'll kill him if I ever find out who supports a fucker like you!" Dark growls before he quickly lets the Bishop go just to slug him hard in the fact caving the guys skull in as he slammed the Bishop hard into the ground with earth shaking force and as many look on in shock… they saw that Dark just beat the Bishop as he drew his fist back and the Bishop, knocked out and barely alive, if the twitching and what not was any indication, well… nuff said as Dark looks smug, he hits his fists together and grins as he looks at the others.
"Man I wish I could have killed the fucker… but still need a battery to revive that sexy spectre here before anything happens… it was hard not killing this guy and putting up with his chosen by Glob act." Dark said as his wound on his leg recovers when a blast mist filled his wounds and in no time, he was at 100% in no time.
"But still… damn." Marceline said as Ali and Sally were shocked.
Meanwhile…
Whisper and Tangle saw the outcome.
"And so the bastard has fallen." Whisper said.
"Indeed… honestly kind of glad… his Glob preaches were really annoying… still don't get why he was accepted into the new Guild of assassins… guy would just make a scene like he did just now…" Tangle said as Whisper looks at her.
"Well we can report things later… for now though…" Whisper said as she used some kind of magic to summon a long rifle and in not time while many below were distracted… Whisper took aim and many look shocked when a bullet pierced the bible making it burn away next to the Bishop had near him, this had Dark look quickly to where the shot was fired but when he looks… he only saw two figures far off in the distance leaving via a portal making him click his teeth when he thought of something.
"Tsk… not sure who they are… but looks like they could care less if this fucker lived or died… and seems that bible was the thing they wanted to keep from us…" Dark said as he looks at the bibles remains that burned away into simple ashes after Tangle and Whisper vanished.
"Well shit. Maybe whoever they are used to work for the fucker." Marceline said.
"Doubtful given his MO… if they did, they would have aided him since that sniper managed to hit the bible this fucker had in one clean shot… not a low level marksman… can respect that… we can deal with a possible group of killers later though… for now we got Daisy to revive so I'll be returning control to light for now… though one thing first… hey Daisy… get your sexy ass over here so I can tell you something." Dark said when he grins at Daisy in a somewhat wild way.
Daisy blinks a bit but did blush at the sexy remark before doing to Dark to see what he wants.
Dark looks amused when he saw this and when Daisy floats to get close to him, well… Dark smirks when he moved to grip Daisy's ass and pulls her close.
"Once you're revived… you owe Light and I big time so better get ready to have one hell of a fun time after your revived and stuff." Dark said with a chuckle as he fondles Daisy's ass to mess with her.
Daisy jolts from this as Sally and Ali were shocked.
"What the fuck?!" Sally said.
"Hehe, what?... considering I saved your collective asses and going to revive your sexy realitive, unless you're willing to join in, pretty sure I should get some fun with someone for pretty much doing what no one else can… I mean…" Dark said before he gave Sally and Ali half lidded looks.
"Considering your guards couldn't do jack and shit with their weapons against this guy… pretty sure you two would be dead and these guys would be well in the dead worlds if not for yours truly." Dark said while he points a free hand thumb at himself.
Ali sweatdrops.
"He's not wrong Sal… May have to upgrade security."
Sally sweatdrops while Dark looks amused before he lets go of Daisy and smacked her ass.
"Follow light when I give back control and expect one hell of a fun time later… for now I need to slink back into the dark corners of Lights mind and stew on what I learned during this fight… oh and here Marcy… may as well show I'm not totally heartless, may as well let you bury this skull or do something with it if you want." Dark said when he got Finn's skull from his pocket and tossed it to Marceline for her to catch.
Marceline did catch the skull and did look a bit sad.
"Oh Finn. Sorry for those old bones of yours."
Finn's skull didn't do much if anything at all given there was no soul in them, still Marceline could at least bury his skull somewhere later.
As this happened, Dark on his end returned Emerald his body, this made Emerald groan when he returned to his normal state and blinks when he felt his hand grip something and looks to Daisy who was blushing as Emerald jolts and quickly lets her go.
"Sorry!... damnit Dark causes me so many issues sometimes!" Emerald said while he showed his normal state to many again.
"N-No worries." Daisy said.
"So… you okay?" Ali said.
Emerald rubs his head.
"Yeah… aside some soreness given Dark takes my body for a joyride in battle, more or less OK… for now though need to call Butch so he can get Daisy's body prepped for a revival and well… we got the hard work of dragging this behemoth of a killer to where Daisy's body is so I can use his energy for the revival magic." Emerald said when he looks at the Bishop's knocked out body… his… hulking… titanic looking body… which looked like it would weigh close to a ton…
"You're gonna drag this creep?" Sally said with bewildered look.
"Unless you have a big car to carry the guy." Marceline said.
"Either way will have to lift him… you got telekinetic stuff right Marceline?... hey Sally and… Ali was it?... heard Daisy talk about you two… if your heiresses, can you call in a truck or something?... nothing fancy needed since depending on things I may leave this guy with the police or kill him myself later once I revive Daisy, I mean he lives… behind bars… he dies… gets tortured in the lower dead worlds… so your call on if the guy lives or dies… either way… he won't live well." Emerald said when he looks at Sally and Ali.
Sally didn't know what to say at first but did want to help Daisy.
"I'll get a vehicle ready. Though better if that guy dies so he doesn't escape and stuff."
"Fair enough, I'll keep an eye on the guy so sooner you call a car, sooner we can get rid of this guy." Emerald said while he looks seriously at Sally.
Sally nods her head and starts calling a few people.
In no time, Emerald had the Bishop in the back of a large truck as he rides in it while next to Sally and Ali while a driver keeps them on the road while many guards with VERY high tech looking weapons were watching the bishop closely… Emerald sat between the heiresses as Marceline and Daisy float after the group as Daisy looks at Marceline.
"You know… will say one thing I'll miss in being a ghost… floating… really handy… maybe I should learn a flying magic or something?... could be helpful in… keeping me from getting killed again." Daisy said while she turns a corner that the truck turns on.
"Maybe but be careful when learning magic. Some people may get a bit mad or addicted to that… trust mee." Marceline said.
"Ah… well don't worry, the Acorn family wouldn't take risks with things like that, pretty sure there would be good magic teachers who can teach insanity free magic… honestly it was a short meeting with you Marceline but I'll miss talking with you since you seem like a fun lady." Daisy said when she smiles cutely at Marceline… given the distance no need to hold back on names right now.
Marceline smirks.
"Well… not like it's the last time you'll see me."
"Huh?" Daisy said when she looks curious on what Marceline meant since she did overhear during the run to the Bishop fight was that Emerald may leave the Unknown City with Marceline to find out more on her own death.
"Don't worry about it. For now let's focus on getting you back to your body." Marceline said.
Daisy nods before she flew ahead of Marceline and Marceline smirks when she looks at Daisy's plumb backside…
'Even for a ghost… nice ass.' Marceline thought.
As the group got to the warehouse…
Butch on his end looks amused when he saw Emerald come out of a large vehicle with Sally and Ali.
"Hehe, so… the perp caught?" Butch said as Emerald approached him.
"Yeah… seems like he was part of a group because an item he had was shot from a distance from a high tier sniper… honestly I'll worry about it later… for now I need to revive Daisy here… is Daisy's body prepped and put in a modest way for recovery?" Emerald said when he looks at Butch seriously.
"Oh yeah." Butch said before showing the group Daisy's body.
It was on a fancy looking table while Daisy saw her body dressed in modest looking clothing as an autopsy worker came by with some bloody gloves.
"I did what I could but you'll have to do the rest with magic Emerald, the bastard really did a number with her skin so if you revive her now, will definitely leave scars." The Autopsy worker said as Emerald nods.
"Thanks for the help, saves me time… so Daisy… ready to head back to the land of the living once we bring the Bishop in here?" Emerald said while he looks at Daisy with a smile.
Daisy nods her head.
"I'm ready."
"Good… hey Sal… bring your guys in with the Bishop… time to start the magic… and before any ask… no… thre is no chanting in an odd way or dancing… I got asked that before sometimes and… nuff said really got annoying when people expect me to do some kind of ritual… not every spell needs to be fancy." Emerald said while he rubs his head.
After giving the order, Sally's men brought in Bishop's unconscious body.
He was moved to lay near Daisy's body and Emerald moved to remove his coat and tossed it to the side as he rolls up his sleeves… when he did he had many black line like tattoos on his arms which where hidden by the sleeves… Emerald then approached the two bodies, Emerald gestures for everyone to be quiet before he got started since he would have to focus.
Everyone stayed quiet so Emerald can literally work his magic.
Emerald moved to get between the duo and he moved to pull out two large mirrors… one moved to be thrown over the Bishop and floats over him… the other moved to float over Daisy's body… in no time with hand gestures… Emerald had them shimmer and a black mist emits from the Bishop's body and flows towards the mirror above him and when it absorbed plenty from the Bishop… the other mirror glows and Emerald looks at Daisy and gestured for her to approach her body as the mirror over Daisy gained a gentle green glow.
Daisy sees the gesture and approaches her body while everyone else watches.
When she did… she was absorbed into the mirror and a green mist flowed from the mirror over her… this flows into Daisy's body and her body was healed, restored, and revitalized giving her body a healthy look and in no time any and all injuries the Bishop inflicted on her were healed and… she gasps as she opened her eyes wide when she jolts as she felt a serious urge to breath and many had wide eyes when they saw Daisy get revived as the glowing mirrors end their part and the black mist from the Bishop ends while he looks GREATLY weakened… and Daisy looked more alive then ever when she looks rather youthful when her body looks younger then it seemed.
"D-Daisy?… you okay?" Sally said.
"Y-Yeah… A-Aunt Daisy?" Ali said when she and Sally drew close to Daisy while she pants as she looks at her hands and felt… alive again… this… made her laugh lightly at first when she was alive again… she was alive!
"I'm alive!" Daisy said in a cheerful tone.
"Hehe, she's definitely alright." Marceline said.
Daisy then surprised Emerald when she got up and quickly hugs him around his neck nearly making him fall back while he flails his arms for a moment from the sudden moment.
"Thank you Emerald! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Daisy said.
Emerald on his end after he recovers, chuckles as he pats Daisy on her back.
"Hehe… no problem." Emerald said while he looks amused at how chipper Daisy was right now.
Though Daisy gave Emerald's cheeks a few pecks.
Emerald blushed from this while Butch looks amused.
"Hehe, may as well get this piece of scum off the streets while he is depowered for life… not sure if that is a fate worse then death for him." Butch said as Emerald looks at him.
"Maybe, given his wounds, doubt he would survive the trip, can't get rid of him myself right now since he is now in police custody… but try and be careful Butch… guys like him would do a lot in desperate times when cornered." Emerald said while he looks serious.
"I can bring him right to Lady Life and Lord Death if you want… your call." Emerald said while he looks at Butch seriously.
"Hmmm… let them deal with him… less paper work and all." Butch said.
"Fair enough… I'll take him the old fashion way so there is less blood… hey The Star, mind lending a telekinetic hand so we can move him?... don't worry, Lady Life and Lord Death fox can keep a secret if you want to hide yourself from your dad and more until we find a lead on your body or something on your death and stuff… Lord Death Fox may even help since the guy is… well… Death." Emerald said when he looks at Marceline since this idea could help in finding a lead at least.
"Yeah… I don't want my dad to know yet." Marceline said.
"Wait dad?" Butch said as Emerald looks at him.
"I'll fill you in later… keep the others quiet and I'll pay for 10 drinks for you Butch on top of the 6 I gave you… try and not spend it all in one day since you do need to keep that liver intact." Emerald said with an amused look as Marceline had the Bishop floating and Emerald pushed him towards a corner and after he and Marceline crossed their eyes, Emerald, the Bishop, and Marceline vanished from everyone's sight.
"Okay… weird but sweet!" Butch said as he got extra cash.
After this happened… well the scene went to Emerald and Marceline as they were on an escalator leading down to the entrance to the Dead world… as this happened, Emerald pulls out a fancy mirror that floats before him and after rubbing a number on it… it shimmers and Marceline, who looks over Emerald's shoulder, looks to see Death Fox's head appear in the mirror.
"Ah Emerald, nice to hear from you. What's up?" Death Fox said.
"Hey Lord Death Fox… its a long story and I'll need you to keep this a secret from Hunson while you open up the portal near the Dead world sorting gate so we can get to you but…" Emerald starts to say before a fast forward effect happened with Emerald making gestures and stuff and at the bottom of the escalator…
"... and this is more or less covers what happened after I got this piece of knocked out work here… I may have put him in a coma when I let Dark take control so after I kill him, I'll be bringing his soul to you… not sure how he will react though since he is Glob obsessed and stuff so try and expect possible bootlicking if he tries anything funny." Emerald said while he finished explaining things to Death Fox as Emerald moved to pull out a gun.
"Good grief… not sure who that guy is but Life and I will definitely teach this fool a lesson." Death Fox said.
"And don't worry Marceline, I'll keep your… condition a secret."
As Marceline smiles, Emerald, after taking aim and pulling the trigger, killing the Bishop without batting an eye, making the guys spirit, in a full on daze now appear, well… Emerald looks at Death Fox as he used a spell to more or less put the guy in a barrier so he could pull him around without much issue in the dead worlds.
"Yeah about that… I'm wanting to see if Marceline is dead dead… she is WAY too… well I'll be blunt… good looking to be a simple ghostly woman… could be because she is Hunson's daughter and has a demon's soul but she seems less ghostly and more… well… hard to say… your the expert on Death and stuff Lord Death Fox so hopefully can get some answers on if Marceline is truely dead or not… she doesn't remember a large gap in her memories around her death but if her body is still intact I do have some theories but want to make sure Marceline's condition is what I think it maybe or not." Emerald said as he starts leading the barrier covered Bishop to a large skull portal that opened when Death Fox opened it from his end.
Death Fox was thoughtful.
"Hmmm… May need to call Life and see if she can give her insights."
Emerald nods before he ends the call and he, Marceline and the dazed Bishop enter the portal… when they exit it, they approach the home of Death fox as the Bishop starts to recover while he held his ghostly head.
"Ugh… what happen?" The Bishop said before a second later after getting his bearings, his eyes widen when he saw his hands and then body.
"No! I can't be dead!"
"Yup… you are… welcome to the Dead world… if you remember me, you should remember your ass getting kicked, I used your body as a battery for magic to revive Daisy in perfect health so she is good now… even if you were not killed by me when we got to the Dead world, you would have been burned out of magic for life so would be a fate worse then death for you so to speak… anyway I'm bringing you to the Globs I work for… a particular duo of them… maybe trio since Un is more or less learning Lady Life and Lord Death Fox's ropes… considering their Globs… I'm sure you'll love talking with them…" Emerald said with a smirk as he gestures for the Bishop to look at the far off structure.
The Bishop looks and was shocked when he saw the building.
"What?... didn't expect to see the home of a family of Globs to look like a large Zen garden?... Yeah I was surprised as well but ehh… you get used to it…" Emerald said as the trio enter the area and the group saw Death Fox resting in a hammock with his iconic pillow.
"Hey Lord Death Fox… finally here… Lady Life and Un taking time to get here from their latest lesson?" Emerald asked while he made sure that the Bishop couldn't get free as he pulled his spectral prison near him like a balloon… and the bishop could see Death Fox in person more or less… he maybe a small Glob but since all Globs come in many shapes and sizes… well… this was a shocker for the crazed killer.
"Oh yeah." Death Fox said before narrowing his eyes.
"So this is the so-called worshiper."
"Yup… pretty much the guy who likes to make… art out of peoples backs… if you can even call it art." Marceline said as Death fox shrugs as he got out of his hammock.
"Eh… depends on if it was painted… must say… bigger ghost then I expected but considering all ghosts are equal to me besides a small few… well…" Death Fox said as he held his hand out and the barrier Emerald had shattered releasing the Bishop's soul but the Bishop felt his soul body pulled to Death fox and well… Death fox gripped his face with his hand and gave him a cold look.
"I'll be personally dealing with you later… given what I heard… even just one kill like you did would give you a serious punishment in the lower dead worlds… I'll bring you to the Judge and make sure you get sorted to a proper Dead world in person… don't want anyone to try anything funny after all." Death Fox said as he opened a portal near him and before the Bishop could even beg for mercy, he was thrown into it as Marceline whistles when Death Fox or the former Mr. Fox to Marceline's point of view gained serious skills after becoming a Glob.
"Damn… you sir definitely changed after taking this job." Marceline said.
Death fox looks amused.
"Not as much as you Marceline… must say being a spectre did make you appealing in many ways… nice look for you though I prefer the sexy body you used to have." Death Fox said in a surprisingly flirty way to Marceline while he winked at her as he closed the portal that the Bishop went through.
Marceline was abit surprised by that.
"T-Thanks. Hopefully soon I'll find my body."
Emerald chuckles as he shrugs his arms.
"Told you that Lord Death Fox and Lady Life like to swing… wasn't a bluff." Emerald said as Death Fox looks amused.
"Indeed… though if we can't find your body, can do the next best thing with a trick I learned to help souls feel more… before I do though as a test… just to check Marceline but how… much do you feel?... like can you feel anything with your hands?... like in the living world?... did your senses feel dulled like if you felt heat, would be greatly diminished?... if you felt well… anything would they feel off?... at least at first?" DF said while he rubs his bony chin as he walks around Marceline to examine her spectral body… at first would have been in a lustful way but… looks like he was doing serious examination work of her like Emerald asked to see if she was truely fully dead or not… given how strange Ooo is, especially after 1000 years from the past making things much more advance tech and magicwise… anything can happen.
"Hmmmm… maybe a tiny bit I mean I don't feel the hunger to feed on red… I can still touch things like Finn's skull." Marceline said.
"Finn's skull?" Death Fox said as Marceline passed Finn's skull to DF.
"Huh… well what do you know… well may as well do this and…" DF said as he shockingly shattered Finn's skull in his hand and moved to remake the skull into something like a sword handle which had a tiny replica of Finn's skull on the bottom of the handle with there being two jetting fangs for guards on the handle with there being a black grip and DF passed it to Emerald much to Emerald and Marceline's shock.
"Before you ask… pretty sure if Finn was here if he wasn't already reincarnated like 4 to 5 times already… he would be OK if I did this… especially if you channel dark energy into the handle." DF said as Emerald blinks… he looks at Marceline and shrugs before he moved to channel dark energy into the handle… a moment later a pitch black blade that shimmered with white sparkles formed from the handle making one hell of a badass looking blade.
"Whoa!" Emerald said when he looks at the weapon in his hand.
"I would call it the Finn sword but… already got one of them already in Ooo… you can call this the… Judgment Blade… mainly because of our very own Soul reaping detective here judging criminals… pretty sure this would make Finn proud and pretty happy he can help kick evil butt even beyond lifetimes…" DF said while he eyesmiles at his work.
Marceline was surprised.
"Knowing Finn… he would say… mathematical."
"Hehe… or Algebraic… Bubblegum really infected him with math slang… anyway I made it so only those Emerald and those he trust can use it… it has a number of abilities but should help greatly in close combat since Emerald is severely lacking in close combat equipment and abilities… can't rely on Dark forever." DF said before he heard a voice from his home.
"To be fair Deathy, Dark does a good job keeping Emerald intact… isn't that right Daughter?" The voice said making the trio look to see the Globbess Life exiting the house while she smiles at the group while a smaller more Emerald and Marceline sized woman followed… she looked to have a organic female fox body from the waist up but a snake like Lamia tail end from the waist down with some bony bits on the end of her tail in a rattle snake like fashion while she also had two long snake heads on her shoulders… though she seemed to have them being bony skeletal versions of Life's heads for a difference and showing she was Life and Death Fox's daughter… she wore a simple Cloth dress but while she didn't have legs, she had a shapely body with plump breasts under the clothing.
"Yes mother." Said the daughter of Life and Death.
"Hey Lady Life, Un, thought you two were busy… um… Lord Death… do I just…" Emerald said as DF nods.
"Just stop channeling energy and it will dismiss the blade depending on your intent the blade will stick around or vanish." DF said as Emerald nods as he stopped focusing energy and willed the blade to vanish and it returned it its simple hilt like appearance and Emerald pockets the handle for now… he couldn't wait to test it out later.
Life chuckles.
"Sorry we're late, Deathy. Tried to get here quickly."
"Well no worries, already sent that Bishop creep to be judged and I'll take care of him later… may as well suggest in his next life he just becomes a cockroach or something to teach him a lesson… not for a few lifetimes though to make up for the sins he gained after what he did." DF said before shaking his head.
"Working for the Globs my bony ass… makes us seem like psychopaths if guys like him are around." DF said while he really hoped this guy was a rare case.
Life did frown.
"Well he'll get what's coming." She said before looking at Marceline.
"For now, need to help the famous Vampire Queen on solving this big mystery."
"More like Ghost Queen given her current state." Undeath or Un said as Life looks at her.
"Shows your still lacking in training currently Un… Marceline is… not quite Dead yet… and I don't mean in the ghostly way… no I can still feel a tether to her body from her soul… in a sense what Marceline is experiencing is similar to a ghostly state but the better term is an extreme out of body experience… I'm not sure what happened persay but dead she is not… most ghosts, even demonic ones from Hunson's domain, normally look like the Iconic ghosts people normally see… and those from the Nightosphere have a more red hue but right now, Marceline is way too defined to have a simple ghost body…. Trust me… if she was dead, she wouldn't be a good looking as she is now." Life said while she smirks at Marceline on the compliment.
Marceline blushes.
"So… if I'm still connected to my body in some way do you know where it is?"
Life hums when she leaned in to look at Marceline.
"Hmmm… unfortunately no… seems whoever or whatever caused this state you're in… they worked to make sure even Glob level senses can't locate your body… I can tell it's still on Ooo though but that's about it… I can feel something though that's… not right… but that's the most I can get… I mean its not the worst state you could be in… worst case if Emerald can't help you, can always have Deathy sever your soul from your body and I make a new one for you, may not be the exact same body since I would need your DNA at least as a base so unless you know where to find blood or something, you would have to start from scratch… but thats a worst case scenario if our Soul reaping Detective can't help you." Life said when she eyesmiles at Marceline.
"Right… well let's have that as plan B if all else fails." Marceline said.
"Well given how Emerald hasn't failed many missions, I doubt you need to worry." Un said when she crossed her arms as she looks smug.
"Why do you look so smug since its not you doing the solving." Marceline said as Undeath looks amused.
"Simple… thanks to some things… Emerald may as well be a Fiance of mine in the future given he is doing what Dad normally does for some more… complicated things… Dad and his workers normally work to reap souls… Emerald more or less does that for the hard to get rid of kind of people who have Glob killing potentional… may not have moms level of skills but did get this info on that Bishop guy on the way showing while he wasn't Glob killer material… he was getting up there… his personality was his main draw back so that was holding him back in being a stereotype kind of guy." Un said as Marceline blinks when she registered what Un said before her eyes widened when she looks at Emerald with shock since she heard Emerald had fun with Life and Undeath but Fiance to Undeath!?... that was a new one.
"You and her?!" Marceline said with wide eyes.
Emerald blushed as he rubs his head as Un looks amused.
"Hehe… oh yeah… given how unique Emerald is, I would be a fool in letting him get away, given that he is still mortal, he can't stay for too long in the Dead worlds aside from training, but when its his time to pass on… hehe… his soul is mine to mold… could care less if he has flings with mortal women since at the end of the day, well… unless you get your body back and stuff, pretty sure even if Mom and dad allow you to feel things so you can have fun with Emerald even as a ghost, nothing would beat a flesh and blood body." Un said as Life sighs.
"Un… first off… you're still learning so I would have to do things with Emerald when his time is over… you still have a couple hundred years before you can properly mold your first life… second… pretty sure it's Emerald's call on accepting this Fiance thing… and third… don't be smug young lady… I personally knew Marceline in the past and some questionable antics in the past aside… mainly messing with Finn and some others mentally and her pranks… Marceline is a lot stronger than you if she had her body… she killed the Vampire King Morlock, twice, second time with allies help, and even survived a Golb level event… you still have a lot to learn so try and not antagonize her… for all you know Marceline and you may even compete for Emerald unless you two learn to share hehe…" Life said while she looks amused at the end.
Marceline did blink before smirking.
"Well I hadn't have fun with Emerald… yet but if it's a competition, I'll definitely not back down."
"Wait what?" Emerald said when he looks surprised as Death Fox looks amused.
"Hehe, looks like you may get lucky with two ladies… one of the Glob variety and the other a Demoness type… would get protective but Un can protect herself… will say this though for you Marceline… try and visit the Candy Kingdom with Emerald soon… you missed a lot since you were in the Unknown City… I've heard some bad rumors recently around the Candy Kingdom and given Bubblegum's past… she may have relapsed into some of her old ways…" DF said while he went from amused to serious as he looks at Marceline.
Marceline's eyes widened.
"Oh no." She said as she worried if Bubblegum went back to her questionable habits.
"Oh yeah… but its mainly rumors… for now you should celebrate with Emerald back in the mortal world so here, two gifts, one from Life and I…" Death Fox said as Life smiles when she moved to kiss Marceline on her forehead with one of her heads as Marceline's soul glows for a second.
"There… you can now feel things, you may feel naked now though since you technically don't wear clothing as a soul… you can alter your form to show more… intimate areas to people you want to have fun with and what not…" Life said when she went over her gift to Marceline first.
Marceline blushes from the tiny peck on the forehead.
"Well that's cool to know."
Life eyesmiles before DF approached her and he moved to hold her hand and kissed it making her shimmer with a dark glow this time.
"There… mainly this is to help in fights more but now you can use more Death attributed energy now… consider it a way to help in case you have to deal with things like holy magic and stuff… can be annoying since you're a ghost right?" Death said while he eyesmiles at Marceline while he lets her hand go and she could FEEL the kiss to her hand fully instead of it being muffled… it was like she was alive again minus some things given she was still a ghost.
Marceline was a bit surprised by that.
"Y-Yeah." She said while still feeling the kiss.
"Hehe… guess when you head to the mortal world, won't be holding back in the fun department hehe." Un said when she teased Marceline a bit.
"Will say that Mom made Emerald WELL equipped… so… hehe… enjoy the fun later." Un teased when she nudged Marceline after slithering next to her.
Marceline blinks a bit when she heard that before glancing at Emerald.
Emerald blushed more at this as Life looks amused.
"To be fair… for Globesses like my daughter and I… only the best… even Deathy buffs himself up to take me on given the size difference… you should see Deathy in his serious mode… makes me weak in the knees hehe… oh and also you should know I gave Emerald the ability to shapeshift after studying some species so he can alter his body on a cellular level… mainly I had fun making a perfect well… guess to quote the Bishop… an avatar of the Globs for their work hehe… you can ask Emerald more on that later but a good detective should be able to disguise themselves right?... can even alter his gender… should be fun given you can alter your body when you have fun with female ghosts right Mrs. Gloryhole?" Life said as Emerald, though blushing more, blinks.
"Wait… Mrs. Gloryhole?" Emerald said when he looks at Marceline now.
Marceline blushes brightly.
"Okay… we should probably get going."
"R-Right… was nice seeing you three… I'll visit in a few days and report on what I find if I find a new case." Emerald said before he got ready to leave though Un smirks when she moved to grip his arm and kissed his cheek to catch him off guard.
"Wishing you good luck though soon… your lips will meet mine." Un said.
Emerald blushed more as he and Marceline left with Emerald blushing as Un looks amused when she saw the two enter a portal leading back to the living world and this left Un with her parents as Un looks amused.
"Can't wait to have him in my clutches." Un said..
"Careful Daughter… sounding like a super villain with that line." Life said as she starts following Death Fox to another portal.
"Indeed… have fun at home with your games and stuff while you relax… your mother and I will be… busy dealing with this Bishop fellow." Death Fox said before he and Life left Undeath alone.
Undeath pouts.
"I'm no villain." She said.
Though as she slithers away… the scene went to Emerald and Marceline as they enter a special escalator back to the land of the living and the duo were silent for a moment as Emerald just lets the escalator move for him while Marceline floats next to him.
"Okay… a bit awkward earlier." Marceline said.
"No kidding… sorry if Lady Life and lord Death Fox and Un said things to make you feel uncomfortable." Emerald said while he looks at Marceline.
"No worries. Least the Bishop is out of our hands and I can technically feel stuff now." Marceline said.
"Yeah… should be fun if we swing by the Candy Kingdom after a number of days of travel and stuff… pretty sure the legendary Candy Queen will be happy to see you again." Emerald said while he had his hands behind his head.
"Hopefully… though I'm concerned on those possible rumors. Maybe my supposed death caused her to relapse." Marceline said.
Emerald was quiet at this before he looks at Marceline.
"I wouldn't worry too much… you and others fixed her once… can do so again if she started to go bad again… true love conquers all right?... lets take one step at a time and not rush things… we took down a killer and stuff so should celebrate… if we get another case before we get to Bubblegum, can really show my detective skills and you can really show your stuff now that Lord Death and Lady Life buffed you in a number of ways." Emerald said while he smiles kindly at Marceline.
Marceline did felt a bit better.
"You're right. At least you got a new blade. Shame I didn't ask who did Finn reincarnated as."
"Eh… always next time, I mean we can visit at any time as long as we have 90 degree angle walls or use spells to get there in case we're in places like caves or something without walls… for now should celebrate when we get back to Ooo… teasing aside you don't have to do anything you feel like people are forcing you to have sex and stuff." Emerald said while he looks at Marceline since she was probably not interested in sex right now after all that happened.
Though Marceline smirks.
"You kidding?… it's been ages since I had fun so don't think I'll miss that boat. Besides… Daisy owes you big time for helping her."
Emerald rubs the back of his head while he blushed more.
"Well depends on her… didn't help to get laid, just happened sometimes." Emerald said while they were almost back to the living world.
"Well you may be surprised when we see her." Marceline said.
Emerald shrugs at this before they got to a platform that led back to Ooo.
"Ready?" Emerald said while he smiles at Marceline.
"Ready." Marceline said with a smirk.
Emerald nods before he and Marceline exit the Dead world before the scene fades to black as Emerald and Marceline head towards the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.
