A scene opens up with Atomsk and TME talking.

"Man… been a bit… honestly so long that I can't remember much on things… honestly you wanted Auraverse man should have warned me so I could reread things… I'm a creator not a memory bank damnit!" TME said while he comically looks like he was shorting out for a moment for comical effect.

Atomsk chuckles nervously.

"Sorry man. Thought I gave you a head's up."

"Not far back enough it seems, still can work on the fly as long as you have a plot in mind… I have some things in mind we can do as Finn, Cedric, Emerald, Surge, Azure, Bordux, Aggro, Lanolin, Whisper, Tangle, BMO, and MAYBE Nicole travel to Cedric's home and stuff… looks like Finn's adventuring party has many guest party members now… and I may have missed a few people?... did I?" TME said when he looks at the list just in case.

Atomsk was thoughtful.

"No… all are accounted for… Though should Frost or Rose accompany Finn too or just Rose? Or is that a bit too much?"

"Hmmm… would say a bit much… but only because we have so many party members already and soon at Cedric's place others may join the group occasionally… mainly Bordux, Aggro, Azure, and Cedric are going for that mystery… no way will Finn stay behind, same with Emerald though until he gets better he won't be fighting much in his current state, so it will be tough to have a front line fighter to back up Finn since Finn is an all around type of guy." TME said while he rubs his chin.

"Right and considering Finn is still being watched, think a certain flame and Vampire will follow that lead?" Atomsk said.

"Maybe, depends on WHERE Cedric's home is… the group could try and circle around Ooo or go through Ooo to get to Cedric's homeland… depends on you there… if we do the Ooo route… will take a bit longer before we get to Cedric's home, if we go AROUND… shorter but not as much time with things with Finn getting to talk with others back home." TME said when he gave a route A and B moment for Atomsk to decide on.

"Hmmm… sounds fair. We can worry later, since we have that idea for Cedric's home." Atomsk said.

"Right… for now lets get this chapter started officially so want to say anything else first beforehand?" TME said while he grins at Atomsk.

"Yeah, great to be back from my trip folks if you haven't read the newest post from Shinobi Knights of Aura." Atomsk said.

"Yeah, Atomsk is back and better then ever so we should be writing things much faster then usual!... for now though enjoy the story and enjoy the trip to Cedric's hometown being set up… we may have Finn swing by Ooo and see how much stronger he got thanks to his training with Eco and Aura… should be a shocker for many even if some peeping princesses know about this… after all its one thing with hearing details… its another seeing it with Finn in action hehe." TME said while he grins at the readers.

"Yes indeed hehe." Atomsk said with an amused look.

The scene then shifts to the badlands and more exact….


Badlands/ Lynx and Echidna Village/ Large Kitchen

…Depending how long Finn and Emerald were going at it with Nicole, Maite, Surge and BMO, the scene showed Cedric as he was seen in the of a large tented area's kitchen making a meal and drink for himself while the song "Under the Influence" was playing.

However he was being eyed by a few female Lynxes and Echidnas and they admired his way of cooking.

Funny enough… Azure was walking by and she rolls her eyes at the women oogling Cedric.

"Looks like you kept up your cooking skills at least… you forgot the oregano by the way." Azure said when she had crossed arms.

Cedric grabbed the oregano.

"Thanks." He said he kept cooking.

Azure was silent as she watched Cedric cook before she noticed Aggro walking by while he seemed to have been lured here by the smell of food.

"Huh… wonder what smells so good… honestly rare to get a smell like that when your surrounded by a desert." Aggro said when he looks at the food Cedric was cooking curiously since he couldn't see what was being made.

After a bit, Cedric was done.

"There we go. Roasted hyena." He said and the meat was cooked right. Everyone can smell from the aroma.

"You can actually cook those things?... normally they don't taste well." Aggro said as Azure shrugs.

"Cedric and a few others back home who know Badland cuisine trained to actually cook things that don't normally get cooked… apparently cooking them right makes them tasty and stuff so normal people can't just throw them on an open flame… normally have to tenderize it right, use a special spice like Oregano to compliment the meat, and finally have to make sure its not cooked to long but not to short… mainly its medium rare or bust and thats just surface level stuff." Azure said when she explained cooking hyena meat was a bit of an issue for some.

"She's right on that. And being on my own before meeting Emerald, I made sure to cook what I catch. Can't always rely on a restaurant food." Cedric said before he cut a piece and actually passed it to Azure.

Azure was a little surprised by this… still she didn't object when she cut a piece off and passed it to Aggro for him to taste while she ate her own part of the Hyena meat and the flavor blasted into her mouth and while Azure, being composed… well Aggro who bit into his meat…

"Holy!... this is really Hyena meat?... Wow… that is VERY different compared to the stuff I just forced down after roasting." Aggro said when he didn't expect the taste to be this much of a difference.

"Well… you should definitely savor your meals next time." Cedric said as he bite into the meat.

Aggro on his end rubs his head while Bordux came into the tented area…

"Ah there you three are… I have good news… mainly I procured a transport large enough to carry many of us so we won't have to deal with the buggies for a bit so they can stay here and many items for the trip to Cedric's home town can be loaded onto the transport… mainly depends on who joins VS who stays behind… but all in all, we should be good in getting from the badlands to Ooo or going around it straight to Cedric's homeland… either way will take time… may as well let the native wolf man decide where we go since he knows the lay of the land better then most… well besides his Ex-wife here but given she is eating some juicy meat, figured asking you Cedric would be proper." Bordux said when he smiles at Cedric calmly.

"Hmmm… well, not in a rush so… go around Ooo. Besides, those giant dune worms would definitely be hunting for food now based on the month we're on." Cedric said which surprised the females.

"W-Wait… you seen them?" One of them said.

"Yeah… almost got eaten." Cedric said before he surprised everyone as he took out… a fake eye from his face.

"Lost my real eye a while ago."

Azure looks a bit surprised as Bordux looks at the fake eye.

"Hmmm… interesting… may I see that?" Bordux asked when he gestured to the fake eye.

"Alright." Cedric said as he passes Bordux his fake eye.

As Bordux looks at the eye… he muttered something and it glows with a few lights before he passed it back to Cedric.

"There… should be better than ever for just in case moments." Bordux said when he gestured for Cedric to put the eye back in his head.

Cedric blinks a bit before he puts his fake eye back on.

When he did… the eye glows and well… for a moment his right eye shifted between… closest he could tell was various modes?... first was a heat signature mode… another was some kind of magical radar mode?... like he could tell who was where in a radius around him… honestly the list went on though he did cover his eye when be blushed when he saw through many people's clothing to show nude bodies for a moment… hell he got an eyeful of Azure's body as a result since she was sitting in a chair near him in his vision.

"Wow… this works much better." Cedric said and though he and Azure have a big issue, seems her body was still perfect to him.

Azure looks confused when Cedric looks at her.

"What?" Azure said when Cedric looks to be staring at her with one covered eye to her.

Cedric realized he was looking at his ex or supposed ex before looking away.

"Nothing." He said before passing Azure another piece.

Azure looks more confused but she shrugs and she worked to eat her meal… as this happens… Bordux looks amused before he looks at Aggro.

"I'll be making some final checks on supplies… try and not be late to the meeting point Aggro… depending on where we go, can have many ladies have fun with you later or on the transport given the number of women around us." Bordux said when he looks amused as he left the tent.

Aggro grins.

"Ain't that the truth." He said though the females each wanted a piece of hyena meat which Cedric gave them since it was a big animal.

After some time…

Finn was stretching his body while he had relaxed look on his face after he stepped out of a shower…

"Man. That was a good shower." Finn said.

Near him in a bed… well getting cuddled by Surge, Maite, BMO, and Nicole… was a blushing Emerald… seems he was waking from his sleep showing time passed well beyond when the group finished it seems.

"Y-Yeah… glad you can relax and stuff… so… where you going next?" Emerald asked since this fun time thing was impromptu for Finn mainly.

"Well… not ready to go back to Ooo yet. Figure I hang with you and Cedric more. Learn more Eco and Aura. Maybe help solve the mystery about Cedric being a possible cheater. I may have been clueless on tiers, but I know well on wolf packs. I sometimes like to run with some wolves at night." Finn said.

"I see… well hopefully we won't have to go by Ooo…" Emerald said though after the ladies woke, got clean, and what not and met up with Cedric, Azure, Lanolin, Whisper, Tangle, Bordux, and Aggro…

"What do you mean we may have to go through Ooo to get to Cedric's home!?" Finn said in shock as he looks stunned while Cedric rubs his head.

"Well… two fold reason… one… need to let Rachel know and she is based at the Ooo checkpoint… she may not know what happened to Maite and Surge as well so may as well make sure she knows not not take the Buggy from us without letting us use it again or something… and second… I checked ahead… seems some asshole who had issues with the checkpoint from the badlands to my homelands caused issues with explosive magic at the checkpoint there… enough said… its Ooo or bust… or we wait for a month before we take the checkpoint and I don't think Bordux, Aggro, and the others will wait a month and I'll have to go with them at least to try and help keep the peace." Cedric explained while he looks apologetically at Finn.

Finn couldn't believe this.

"Grob… this wasn't what I expected. And you want to talk to Rachel? Aren't you still mad?"

"At her?… Yeah. Still need to get payback for that tracker thing." Cedric said.

Emerald, in a wheelchair right now thanks to BMO being worried Emerald may fall with his legs messed up as bad as they were, well he speaks.

"Hold on… depending on things we could use this since she was following Surge and Maite's orders more or less… could either get a serious discount on the buggy and hold off on payments if we come back to the badlands, or could do something to get the buggy for free… can't take it from the badlands thanks to us leaving it here but can make sure it won't be stolen if we leave it in a parking lot near Nicole's home so people know not to steal things." Emerald suggests since Rachel was more or less following orders so figured he should let Cedric think on that bit.

Cedric was thoughtful for a bit.

"Alright."

Emerald nods before Finn looks at Emerald.

"So… will you be joining Emerald?" Finn asked while Emerald sighs.

"Considering things, would be hard for me to do much in my current state… honestly even if I did go… I doubt I could do much besides give advice or just make sure Maite and Surge don't do anything to crazy.." Emerald said while he showed his left arm and legs… though he could move them… couldn't do much with them and only his right arm was good.

"Well… why not come with for that… I mean we stuck together so far and BMO would be depressed if you didn't join man…" Finn said as he grins at Emerald.

Though Emerald sweatdrops at this… he did glance at BMO to see what she thought.

BMO gave Emerald a cute pout as she wanted Emerald to come with them.

Emerald jolts at that while he rubs the back of his head with his good arm.

"Well… as long as you don't mind if I keep out of the way so I don't slow people down, but on one condition." Emerald said when he looks at Finn seriously.

"What's that?" Finn said.

"Simple… try and make sure I don't slow us down… just because my injuries won't let me move properly doesn't mean I can't do some things… mainly try and not treat me like an invalid even if I have to move around in a wheelchair with BMO's help alright." Emerald said when he looks at Finn seriously.

Finn blinks a bit.

"Sure man no problem."

"Good… so is anyone else joining us?" Emerald asked while BMO smiles.

"Oh oh!... why not Nicole!... BMO think she can help Emerald with him moving around more if she trains him with light Eco or something." BMO said when she sounds a bit excited… mainly she didn't want to lose a friend it seems.

Nicole hums a bit.

"Hmmm… well, I wouldn't mind tagging along."

"Really?... won't people have issues if you leave?" Finn asked while Nicole smiles.

"Not really, I mean most here normally come to me but when push comes to shove, they can take care of themselves, there are also those like Korra who can take charge of things when needed so its not as bad as you may think." Nicole said when she smiles at Finn.

Finn rubs the back of his head.

"Well… guess it's okay then."

"YAY!... BMO has nice lady friend to balance out mean lady levels!" BMO said when she hugged Nicole and rubs her cheek on Nicole's… comically this made Emerald roll in the sand and though he tried to stop himself his left hand was weak so he turned and well… comically his head hit Surge's ass when his wheels got stuck for a moment making him blush.

"Oh!" Surge jolts when she felt that.

Emerald pushed himself back with a blush on his face.

"S-Sorry!... freaking hand… freaking sand… not the best for a wheelchair thats for sure… maybe I should get a crutch or something to lean on…" Emerald muttered while blushing at how soft Surge's ass was.

Surge though smirks.

"Hehe. No complaints if you want to feel my ass again."

Emerald blushed at this while he leans back in his seat while some chuckle as Bordux looks at Cedric.

"Lets get Emerald out of the sand and get going, sooner we get to the checkpoint, faster we can make sure Emerald doesn't get his body buried in sand… or crash into someone elses rear end." Bordux said while he looks amused when he starts walking away from the group.

"Right." Cedric said before later on, the people that were going were ready though Finn comically was wearing a disguise.

He had a cloak, fake mustache and a hat.

"Finn… what the hell?" Cedric said when he had a half lidded look as he looks at how ridiculous Finn looks right now.

"Look, I don't want anyone to know I'm back yet… plus I don't want to get any more cold shoulders from people who still don't trust me still." Finn said.

"Finn… you know we would kick the asses of anyone who messes with you, also… given the fact that we were most likely being spied on… you think we wouldn't see Royals at the checkpoint… pretty sure they would be wondering why your wearing this getup…" Cedric said since he, and by proxy Finn, were helped by Shade and her wishes and stuff in the past after all.

"Damn… Didn't think on that."Finn said.

"No kidding… also if the Queen of Flames and Vampire Queen are at the checkpoint… think a disguise when you smell of you and have a heat signature that the Queen of flames would recognize?" Cedric said before he walked away to a large transport that Bordux has nearby at the ready.

Finn pales.

'Shit… where's a ring of invisibility when you need one.' He thought as the Lynxes and Echidnas wish Nicole luck.

As Nicole smiles when she was given a sun hat and more for the journey… in no time, many got on the large transport and surprisingly enough… BMO of all people were in the drivers seat while she looks like she was plugged into the dashboard.

"All aboard for a new adventure!" BMO said with excitement.

Before leaving, Finn was giving a peck by Rose.

Finn blushed from this as BMO with sparkles in her eyes grabbed the steering wheel as Bordux speaks.

"Now BMO… remember w-!" Bordux tried to say as well… BMO laughs as many screams when she hits the full throttle on the transport and many were flying back as BMO in the driver seat drove the transport across the sands while Bordux crashed next to Finn when he and Finn land on Aggro.

"Something tells me she does not have a sense of normalicy when it comes to rules and driving in general… do you even have cars in Ooo?... BMO said there was one she was trained to drive by something called a…. Banana man… but I have no idea what she means besides Banana guards at the Candy Kingdom." Bordux said when he glanced at Finn.

"W-Well… he's this banana dude that likes to tinker things and well… Jake and I helped him bring back a car to working conditions. Sadly we had to crash it to kill an evil lizard." Finn said.

Bordux blinks at this and had a half lidded look on his fox face.

"I made a huge mistake linking BMO to the driver seat transport mainframe so she would have an easier time driving by leaving every system in her control huh?" Bordux said with a hard to read tone.

Finn gulped.

"I don't know… better to buckle up."

"Well buckled up or not… you all may want to scream." Bordux said and when some look at him with worried looks… all he did was point at a LARGE hill that BMO was planning to drive up and off of.

"Oh…" Was all Cedric said and well…

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Many screamed as BMO laughs while the transport flew through the air though after the group got to the outpost…

"BMO is sorry…" BMO said when she had an indent in her head healing with special nanomachines courtesy of Nicole bopping her on the head as some getting off the transport threw up in the sand nearby while those like Emerald were just in a complete daze as he twitched in his wheelchair nearby after Maite pushed him out… but she threw up in the sand nearby a moment after so… yeah… many were TKOed from BMO's joyride across the sands.

"Fuck… better if one of us drives." Surge said as she got sand out of her shoes.

"No kidding… for now… hey Finn… you recovered enough to move man?" Cedric said after he got a bottle of water to clean his mouth out and what not and gave Finn his own so he could recover faster.

Finn took a bit to drink the water.

"I-I… *gulp*… thinks so." He said as Azure dust the sand off her fur.

Whisper had to drag Tangle and Lanolin out of the transport and what not… many had to take a bit to recover as Emerald was using his good hand to rub BMO's head while she was depressed.

"There there… we learned either have you drive in a controlled manner or let someone else take control of the transport… what have we learned BMO?... about inorganics VS organics?" Emerald said while he pets BMO's head comfortingly.

BMO sniffles.

"Organics are fragile… even if they have powers or not."

"And?..." Emerald said…

"And BMO should wait to joyride if people eat… they do not have seals and defenses in their stomach to prevent them from having what Jake would call… wasted lunch." BMO said as Emerald nods.

"Good girl… now that we got this out of the way…" Emerald said as he looks at many who were TKOed.

"For now… Cedric, Finn, and I should speak with Rachel now and… hopefully everyone will be recovered by the time they get up… so… I'll need you to push me through the sand BMO." Emerald said when he hoped BMO calmed down now.

BMO did felt better.

"Okay."

Emerald nods and as the group of 4 left the others to recover…

"So Rachel… given things… mind explaining why I shouldn't get too mad over this tracker Surge and Maite had you plant?... Emerald gave some pretty good reasons to not cause issues but you did try and screw us over so…" Cedric said with a scary eyesmile when he looks at a nervous looking Rachel… she was more nervous when BMO brought over a dazed Maite while Surge barely recovered from her puke session so she was sitting nearby as Emerald rubs her back while giving her water.

"Okay… I get this is bad… but my cousins always talked about you and… all my buggies were bugged in case someone stole them." Rachel said.

Cedric snorts.

"You know… we would've accepted that last part… but you still kept us in the dark."

"To be fair… gave good deals on the Buggy?..." Rachel said as many gave her a half lidded look as Emerald spoke.

"Thanks to you a chain of events made it so I more or less crippled myself… sure Maite and Surge are my ladies now but only thanks to a magical contract keeping them in check and that stuff is iron clad… ignoring that though… guess if this is all you have to give issues on… pretty sure you wouldn't mind either waiting on payments for the buggy we have at the Lynx tribes Echidna temple and stuff… no real issue if it comes back to you or not but… if Cedric, Finn, and I ever do return… should at least have the option to continue the payment where its left off on… or… we can take our business elsewhere since I'm pretty sure if Bubblegum is a close friend of Finn here given what I heard… who is to say I can't… suggest her to open a high tech Badland buggy service for the cheap and maybe put you out of business?... given how smart she is… could easily make some of the best buggies around here for transport." Emerald said while he gave Rachel a VERY cold look to show he was not fucking around right now in that threat.

Rachel jolts.

"Y-You can't. I need this business."

"Then you better agree to our demands. You're very much on thin ice." Cedric said.

"Now now… to be fair… I'm sure she would do anything to keep her business intact… guess who gets to be Cedric's bitch when we're around?... may as well show some mercy since she does have one of the best buggy stores around… what do you think Finn?... think that would be fair?" Emerald said when he looks at Finn with an amused look.

Finn was thoughtful.

"Sounds fair to me."

"Yup… hey Cedric… why not take Rachel someplace quiet while Finn and I go and let reception in the checkpoint know a large number of people will be coming through soon." Emerald said while he smirks at Cedric knowingly.

Cedric grins.

"Certainly." He said making Rachel gulp.

As Emerald was rolled away by BMO after Finn… the trio got to the entrance of the Outpost and Finn looks at Emerald.

"Well that went well." Finn said though as the group passed the door…

"Oh… I wouldn't say everything went well… weenie." A familiar voice said making Finn jolt and looks over before he gave a girlish scream when he saw not just Marceline in the room… but Bubblegum, Phoebe, and MANY more royals in the room alone and he comically hid behind Emerald and BMO while Emerald sweatdrops.

"Really?... hide behind the guy in the wheelchair?" Emerald said while he gave Finn a half lidded look over his shoulder.

"They surprised me." Finn said.

"Not me so much… if someone was spying on us, pretty sure they would be waiting here." Emerald said as he looks at the Royals.

"Its nice to meet you ladies, sorry if I don't stand and bow… but even if I did stand… pretty sure I would fall if I bow so you'll have to settle for this." Emerald said when he bows lightly in his chair to the princesses and royals to try and have some manners.

"No worries Emerald. We are aware of what happened." Bubblegum said.

"I see… guess introductions are not needed…" Emerald said as BMO smiles when she moved by Emerald and held Bubblegum's hands.

"Oh it is so good to see you again Princess!... BMO missed you and many here." BMO said before she hugs Bubblegum tightly.

The Candy Monarch blushes.

"Miss you too BMO." She said before patting the BMO's back.

BMO eyesmiles more as Emerald looks at Marceline.

"So… you ladies here for Finn or something?... seems like a big crowd… either this is all the ladies who missed Finn or maybe a lynch mob… pretty sure if this is the latter, we should at least take this outside since I'm sure causing chaos in here won't do well." Emerald said while he looks at Marceline seriously.

"Well… not a mob… but a few do have words to the weenie." Marceline said as Finn gulps.

'Oh boy.' He thought.

"I see… well may as well get things out of the way… though to be fair, given things… we shouldn't take too long… once Cedric is back and the others get here… we would be leaving Ooo again for Cedric's home to deal with his own issues and what not." Emerald said while he looks at many seriously.

"Oh we're aware of that." Shade said.

Emerald looks at Shade and blinks when he saw her.

"Ummm… pardon me but… who are you?... you… look off… must be seeing things but you seem… like you're emitting a lot of dark energy to me… probably from the Dark Eco I manipulate and stuff messing with me…" Emerald said while he rubs his eyes after he closed them.

Shade giggles.

"I'm known as Nightmare Princess but you can call me Shade:"

"Shade huh?... well nice to meet you… sorry its not on better circumstances." Emerald said when he moved to roll his wheelchair and held a hand out so he could shake Shade's hand.

Shade took it.

"No worries. Wish I did more to heal you completely when someone wished for it."

"Oh you did this… surprised you could keep me alive… guess I owe you my life." Emerald said while he wondered how strong Shade was with her powers.

"Hehe, we can talk about that later. For now let's get you three situated." Shade said.

"Well many more should be coming mainly… for now though… may as well let Finn deal with things while I go and… roll around or something." Emerald said before he starts to move from the group though he had to strain his left arm to grip the wheel he was moving tightly.

This left Finn exposed before he chuckles nervously.

"H-Hey guys. How's it going?"

Many gave Finn half lidded looks at BMO lets go of Bubblegum.

"BMO is going to make sure Emerald is going to have a nice time in Ooo… anyone want to join BMO in keeping Emerald company?" BMO said when she smiles at the others.

Few randoms did raise their hands making Finn blink as they went to BMO.

"B-BMO?" Finn said but BMO eyesmiles.

"Be back later Finn."

BMO then left and this left Finn with those like Marceline, Shade, Phoebe, Bubblegum, and a few others who stuck near them… mainly… Phoebe then crossed her arms.

"So… you decided to leave Ooo and not tell anyone but your brother on where you were going?" Phoebe said when she had a raised eyebrow.

Finn sweated nervously.

"In my defense… almost everyone was mad and I needed a break?"

"Keyword almost… you didn't even tell me WHERE you were going… and I thought I was one of the more calm people." Bubblegum said when she gave Finn a half lidded look.

Finn gulped.

"Okay… I'm sorry PB. Guess I should've told you where I was going."

"No kidding…" Bubblegum said while she shakes her head.

Finn looks at the others.

"I'm sorry for leaving guys. Not sure what I can do to make it right."

"Hmmm… given things… you'll have to make up most with Marcy and Phoebe here but… the rest of us not so much… honestly you have a big hurdle with these two here." Shade said when she smirks at Finn when gesturing for Finn to look at Phoebe and Marceline specifically.

"W-What?" Finn said as he looks at the duo.

Marceline smirks at the fear on Finn's face.

"Oh… you'll find out later…" Marceline said while she had a devilish smirk on her face.

Finn gulped as he didn't like the sound of that.

'Crap… should've stayed in the badlands.'

Meanwhile with Emerald…

"Um… ladies I know I have a cute cat form but I can't just bring it out at will… it can only come out at night and I'm in this human like form during the day." Emerald said while one of the princesses were rubbing Emerald's cat ears… thanks to his human state having cat traits… he purrs a bit from the ear rubs out of his control.

"Aww but you're so cute." One princess said as she gushes at Emerald's cuteness.

Emerald blushed more from this.

"Doubtful on that in my human form…" Emerald said shyly as he didn't know what to do right now with ladies fawning over him.

"Easy now. BMO wants Emerald to be comfortable." BMO said as she helps push Emerald more.

Emerald blushed a bit while he wondered what Cedric was doing with Rachel… probably better then what Emerald was doing right now.

Meanwhile…

The scene showed Cedric as he was now railing Rachel's ass.

"Take this and that!" He growls.

Rachel groans with wide eyes when she held onto the bedsheets she was on, honestly this was more intense then last time for her and she yelps when Cedric smacked her plump ass.

Cedric growls as he made his cock vibrate while making sure his hand shocks Rachel's ass with each slap.

"O-Oh fuck!" Rachel groans while she thrusts her hips back so Cedric could fuck her harder while Cedric had a funny thought… issues aside… can't damage Rachel too much… too good of an ass…

'Hehe… maybe I'll ruin her for others and make her only think of my cock.' Cedric thought as he dominates Rachel harder before giving Rachel's ass a shocking creampie.

Rachel groans loudly when she feels that as her stomach bloats with Cedric's load and her juices spray hard on the bedsheets under her.

After a bit, the duo taps off before Cedric pulls his cock out.

Rachel groans more from this as her ass gaps and Cedric could see her asshole twitching a bit as Rachel pants for breath.

Cedric though grins.

"Don't think this is over." He said as his cock was still rock hard.

Before Rachel could respond, she was now seen on her back as Cedric pounds her pussy.

Rachel groans with wide eyes as she hugged Cedric's body… her pussy gripped Cedric's cock tightly while her body withstands the relentless poundings as Cedric growls deeply on each thrust.

"Take my cock!" Cedric growls as he hits Rachel's cervix.

Rachel groans more from the feeling as she takes each thrust and in no time, Rachel groans hard when she came hard on Cedric's dick with a vice like grip.

Cedric groans from the grip but powers through it before his cock bashes Rachel's womb.

As Rachel groans more… comically enough sounds like Marceline could hear this where she was in the shaded outpost before she looks at Finn.

"Seems like this Cedric guy can't help you Finn… seems he is balls deep in this Rachel woman you mentioned." Marceline said as she smirks at Finn while Phoebe was next to her.

Finn sweatdrops.

"Well great." He said.

"Hey to be fair Finn, can just say that you owe Pheebs and I if you really want to leave now… though try and not get jealous if I make Pheebs here my main red squeeze." Marceline said when she hugged Phoebe from behind and kissed her cheek making Finn get a dropped jaw when he didn't expect this.

"Huh?!" Finn said as he didn't expect that.

"Hehe what?, think I wouldn't meet Phoebe sooner or later?, must say I'm surprised you didn't introduce me to this cutie before." Marceline said though…

"Hey no fair Marceline!" Hydrian said and Finn had a record breaking jaw drop when he saw Hydrian, a Water being… hug Phoebe around one arm and Phoebe DIDN'T get harmed and he managed to speak.

"Pardon me for the language… but what the actual fuck!?... forget Marcy getting with you FP… but when can you get held by water and not get harmed!?" Finn said in absolute shock while Shade nearby smirks and she wiggles her fingers as she waves at Finn.

"Hello Finn.. Shade the Nightmare princess, powerful wishmaster that not many can top…" Shade said when she looks amused when Finn looks at her.

Finn blinks in shocked as he connects the dots.

"You made sure Phoebe wasn't harm, maybe fixed her matrix." He said before facepalming.

"Damn… how I didn't think that?… I could've even wish to be fire proof or not get harmed at all… once again life is sometimes screwing me over."

"Yeah well better late than never… personally can tell you that Phoebe doesn't explode anymore… especially when she gets kinky hehe." Shade said when she nudged Finn a few times.

Finn bushes after hearing that as did Phoebe.

Shade looks amused before she got serious.

"So… you're really going to mainly skip Ooo and head to this Cedric guys homeland?" Shade asked when she remembered hearing things about Cedric's home town.

Finn jolts.

"N-No."

"Nice… guess that means you and your friends can stick around Ooo a bit so you can make up for running away like this with D-A-T-E-S for many here…" Shade said when she smirks at Finn teasingly at the end.

Finn blinks in surprise.

"D-Dates?" He said as he looked to see who wants to date him.

Marceline smirks at this.

"You know Pheebs and I will be first since you owe us primo stuff to make up for what you did, so better prep in the future." Marceline said with a really devilish smirk.

Finn was taken aback.

"T-To date? Thought you both hate me."

"Hates a strong word… though since Simon is alive… can make it so a punch through a wall levels of anger works sure… that is if a good date doesn't suite you." Marceline said when she made a Massive hair hand to show if no date… Finn would be sent flying by a boulder sized fist… Aura or not… would hurt like hell.

Finn jolts.

"N-No no. Date it is."

Marceline smirks at this as she had her hair hand return to her normal locks.

"Good… seems we will be having a fancy date later huh Pheebs?" Marceline said when she kissed Phoebe on her cheek.

Phoebe blushes a bit.

"Y-Yeah." She said.

"Well don't count me out of this." Hydrian said as Finn held his hands up.

"H-Hold on… even if I did have the cash its mostly at my place and even then… I can't take each and every lady here to a restaurant that fancy." Finn said while Marceline smirks.

"Ohh?... assuming that every Royal will want to go on a date with you?... must say you got to be a real ladies man in the badlands huh?" Marceline teased when she looks really amused now.

Shade chuckled.

"Oh yeah. We especially enjoy the part where you dominated Frost and Rose. Huntress here enjoyed how beastly you look." She said.

"Huh?" Finn said with a blush as Huntress nearby, while looking amused, did come to Finn's aid.

"Indeed… though to be fair, we keep putting Finn down for, again… him wanting a vacation… pretty sure things would just be a one and done moment… so try and not mess with Finn too much… that goes double for you Marceline and Phoebe… after all… seeing what Finn has… doubt you two would be satisfied with just a simple one time taste… though if that does work with you… more for me and other women here." Huntress said while she stands near Finn.

Marceline smirks.

"We'll see about that." She said as she took it as a challenge.

Huntress shrugs and she looks at Finn.

"Well Finn, this should keep the teases low but try and make sure to show what you got since I can tell you that these ladies may jump fast on your meat sword after what I told them and what they saw.. Especially with you dominating BMO, Surge, Maite, Nicole, and well… you get the idea." Huntress said when she brought up Finn's latest romp to hit home that the royals just saw that recently as well.

Finn was blushing brightly.

"Oh Glob." He said while feeling like he was part of a porn video… and didn't get paid.

"Eh don't worry, depending on things… from here on out if you want to make it a show… can make a magical contract with Shade here in that anyone wants to watch you have fun… they have to pay unless you give permission… they want to see the goods… may as well take advantage of that… you may owe Marceline and Phoebe freebie passes… but doubt the same can be said for the other Royals and I." Huntress said while she points that out that privacy should be respected unless someone gives Finn a reason to overlook that.

Finn blushes more.

"Well… sounds fair." He said.

Some Royals groan at this as Emerald came over with BMO when he looks irritated.

"Hey Finn… mind if we have Shade teleport you, I, BMO, and the others who are still recovering to your place alongside those like Huntress, Bubblegum, Marceline, and Phoebe so we can leave the rest or these princesses who are pinch happy here?, may as well leave Cedric here for now with a note or something to meet with us since he maybe with Rachel right now... honestly I feel like my cheeks are swelling right now and my ears ache from getting pulled… and BMO looks like she is about to get punch happy right now because of it." Emerald said while his cheeks and cat ears did look a bit worse for wear while BMO starts to look irritated at some of the princesses.

"Sure, let's do that." Finn said but had a thought when he saw one royal… naked.

'Why is this one naked?!'

Though Finn could ask later since he could have some Royals tag along…

"Shade… I wish for those like Emerald, BMO, and the group I was with… myself, you, PB, Marcy, Phoebe, and Huntress were teleported to the Treefort's front lawn… and Marcy had some kind of sunproof gear on." Finn said while he looks at Shade.

Shade smirks.

"Granted." She said and snaps her fingers.

This had many Royals looks surprised when Finn, Phoebe, Marceline, BMO, Emerald, Bubblegum, Huntress, Shade, and more listed by Finn and a few royals holding onto said people vanished by proxy leaving many Royals like Hydrian behind and she looks steamed by this.

"I can't believe he did that!" Hydrian said.

The scene then went to The Treefort to show Finn and the others appearing while Marceline was wearing sunproof gear courtesy of Shade's powers.

"Thanks for the gear Shade." Marceline said.

"No prob… though I'm surprised no one wished for you to be sunproof yet…" Shade said when she smirks at many.

Marceline blinks a bit after hearing that and Finn knew what that meant.

"Okay, Shade, I wish Marceline was sunproof."

Shade smirks as she snapped her fingers and Marceline glows.

"Done." Shade said with a smirk on her face.

Marceline was covered in a light glow for a second. Once gone, the Vampire Queen cautiously removes a piece of her protective gear.

When she did and flinched when she removed her glove… nothing happened… besides a gentle warm feeling?

"I'm… not burning." Marceline said with a surprise look.

People then saw Marceline laugh before she comically grabbed the closest person to her, Phoebe and made Finn's jaw drop when Marceline flat out kissed Phoebe HARD and Phoebe DIDN'T blow up and melt through the planet.

"What?!" Finn said with a surprise look as BMO blushes from the scene.

Phoebe blushed more before Marceline pulls her head back and laughs more.

"Hehehe!... I'm not burning in the sun!, man Shade I owe you big time!" Marceline said as Shade chuckled.

"Technically you owe Finn for that since he made the wish." Shade said while she looks amused.

"You're right." Marceline said before smirking at the human.

Finn blushed at this as Emerald speaks up to get things on track.

"So… this is your home?... surprised you don't have a Earth Eco or Water Eco affinity here." Emerald said when he saw how big the tree was and the large pond next to the Treefort.

Speaking of pond, one head popped out which revealed to be Denise as she wondered the commotion before seeing Marceline and co.

The water nymphs, Denise, resting in the pond during this time, though looked happy when she saw Finn.

"Finn, you're back." She said.

As Finn blushed and rubs his head… Emerald looks at her.

"She a neighbor?... don't see a house for miles." Emerald said while this got Denise's attention.

"Oh where are my manners. I'm Denise and my two sisters and I live in this pond next to Finn and Jake's home." Denise said as she gets out of the pond.

Emerald blinks when he heard this.

"Sisters?... I don't see them… deep pond I guess or out at the moment?" Emerald said when he only saw Denise here.

"You can say that." Denise said as she approaches the group.

"Nice to meet you Emerald. Saw you train Finn and stuff with everyone else."

"Train?... thought it was the sex stuff given what Shade said… Finn may make things pay per view though if the ladies want to see the good… may charge women myself if they want to peek on me since I'm not the main focus of many here." Emerald said while he had a half lidded look on his face as he relaxed in his wheelchair.

Denise did blink a bit at the info.

"Okay… I don't know what you mean but…" She said before going to Finn and hugs him.

"Welcome back."

Finn blushed more as BMO giggles.

"Hehe… why not kiss her Finn!... she kissed you before you left so why not return the favor." BMO said in a chipper manner.

Finn blushes again but… BMO was right and Denise said she… along with her sisters like him so…

The human looks at the water nymph before leaning in and kiss her.

Denise was surprised a bit by this but she went with it as she worked to return the kiss as some Royals look jealous as Finn was kissing Denise while Emerald sighs.

"Don't some of you ladies have citizens to rule over?... doubt Finn would mind making a harem of women at this rate but act rash and he won't do well… Finn isn't the same Finn you all know to some level so try and not think he would just roll over for Royals nowadays given most gave him crap in making his heroics hard to do here." Emerald asked when he wondered why so many royals were jealous since most Royals Emerald heard of had issues with Finn so while this maybe the minority… some may have had to be convinced to not be angry with Finn for his stunt with Ice King and Phoebe.

BMO did put her two cents.

"Well I believe these are the few Royals that still like Finn. Not sure on the rest but… Emerald is right."

Some did look irked by this and mainly look at Emerald with some irritation as Emerald gave some a cold look when he noticed.

"Before many here think I'll just let some of you mess with Finn if this is just a one time thing… or roll over for you just because your Royals…" Emerald said before he emits a dark black mist from his right arm.

"I may be crippled… but even in this state I'm sure I can defend myself against some of you who lived pampered lives… don't think I'll go by Ooo standards when I've lived and traveled the world in places that make Ooo weak in comparison… even a cripple like me wouldn't lose to those who barely deserve the title of Royal." Emerald said when he gave many a cold look when he was ready to defend himself if needed.

Thats when Marceline tries to make peace here.

"Okay… clearly we don't want more drama here guys. Plus we all know Emerald isn't bluffing so… if any females plans to start something, then you better leave."

Elena, who was with the group, smirks.

"Well not sure about them but I'll humor a good talk… honestly rare to see those who can still emit this kind of pressure… Eco maybe but… you learn Aura?... honestly its rare for those outside the Jungle Kingdom to learn that." Elena said when she looks amused as many, mainly those from the badlands who recovered, look surprised.

"Wait… you know Aura?... I had to learn it from BMO and Nicole in the transport so I'm still getting a hang of it but…" Emerald said when he looks surprised since he didn't expect anyone out of the Badlands to know about Aura.

"Well before any ask, mainly it was a thing we learned from Lady Life when she stopped by with Lord Death occasionally… Life is her forte so learning things from the afterlife from spirits of ages past does have its perks in keeping the deal with Lord Death… I can explain more later but will say… you, that Cedric guy, and Finn would be VERY desirable in the Jungle Kingdom because while some of us know Aura, myself included… its hard to get to a level your at in such a short time… guess your a rare talent with Aura if its this intense to make a few of the weaker willed princesses to collapse in fright." Elena said when she looks to some of the Royals nearby that tagged along to the Treefort in Shade's wish to pass out… hell Bubblegum looked like she was momentarily dazed… strong will sure but wasn't the strongest Royal being more braining then anything.

Hearing this made Finn blink in surprise as he pulls away from Denise's lips and looks at Elena.

"Seriously?! I had no idea." He said.

"Well when you live in one of the most dangerous lands in Ooo, badlands or not, you either learn to adapt to fierce beasts or you become their food or bitch if some of the beasts want to dominate women like me… honestly given the things I've heard in other lands of Ooo, not the most strangest thing and stuff but honestly… the Jungle Kingdom doesn't have many issues with you Finn so I have no issues with this Emerald guy here… what about the rest of you standing?" Elena said when she looks at those like Marceline, Phoebe, Bubblegum who recovered, Shade, and a few others while Huntress was OK with Emerald given past friendships with Emerald in the occasional Badland visits.

"Well I don't have issues with Finn." Bubblegum said given her friendship with the hero.

"He helped me get in power and more or less helped my sisters… honestly if not for the fact they went home for now, they would say things like… love and peace with Slumber, and Lullaby would sing about how good Finn is so one mistake shouldn't ruin his life… doubt he would do the same thing again." Shade said when she smirks as she had a hand on her hip.

Finn blushed before Breakfast Princess spoke.

"Like most, Finn helped me out and I never had issues with him after hearing about the Ice Kingdom incident."

"Uhhh… issues with me aside… phrasing…" Phoebe said as Breakfast Princess crossed her arms.

"While I can't say anything much if things went bad one way or the other, and I apologize for the issues when I say this but the Ice King had it coming to him given his public image… I mean he got me from my home multiple times… destructively I may add… and had me locked in an icy cage… IN his home… I'm not a freezer based food for storing…" BP said while she explains some things about the Ice King's prison methods of the past.

"I'll say That Simon fellow, if he can be helped, SHOULD be helped but can't say many will say much kinder stuff then I… even if Marceline did explain things about the ice King and his insanity… many would just say wouldn't every Wizard that delves deep in magic be the same then?... just in case… no offense Huntress in case some see you as mad for being wood magic obsessed… its just… and I'm getting this off my chest… I don't see why Finn gets most of the issues when the Ice King doesn't do his Simon side favors… can't blame fully Finn without blaming the Ice King and stuff… and the royals who DON'T know about this Simon fellow would just see him as the Ice King only… and those that do… well while they can give Finn issues… mainly for causing this Simon guy issues… but can anyone say I'm wrong?... don't get me wrong Marceline but… given I was kidnapped and put in an icy prison with no winter clothing… pretty sure things would go bad if not for Finn and Jake… like freezing to death and stuff… I'm honestly curious now that I've thought about it but… given how many times he kidnapped Bubblegum and how protective you are of her and the Ice King, how come you didn't go help her in Finn's stead… or those like Elena here who have actual strength?..." BP said when she had a curious look in some things… maybe old news but given some Royals would give Finn issues that were not here… and some of the current Royals may have forgetful memories… well…

"The only thing I'm saying is this… I'm NOT trying to say I'm glad Ice King had his kingdom melted… all I'M saying before people put words in my mouth is pretty simple… depending on how things started… especially since many know Phoebe here said that the Ice King started it all… he had it coming with Karma and stuff to some level… not Simon… not Phoebe… and NOT Finn… sure… Finn donked up but doesn't everyone at one point in their life do that once or twice?" Breakfast Princess said when she finished saying what she wanted to say… though…

"Oh… and the reason why I said all that… Honesty policy your highness… can't lie around you so didn't want to cause issues by holding back in my thoughts that have been building given the way Emerald reacted… he may think most of us are just shallow so I wanted to show otherwise." Breakfast Princess said while she had a calm look on her face now.

Phoebe was quiet for a bit.

"I understand." She said.

Breakfast Princess smiles.

"Sorry for that with the seriousness… for now we should get Finn and his allies inside the house… sorry to ask Marceline if you want to leave but… considering Emerald in his wheelchair bound state for the most part… unless someone else can help Emerald up to Finn's living room from the lobby… well… yeah… can't have him climb up a ladder with one good arm." Breakfast Princess said while she looks at Emerald who at this point in time, again, was crippled by the Dark Eco and his left arm and both legs were royally F'ed up and Marceline, Phoebe, Bubblegum, and Shade remembered that unless a miracle happens… Lunarpyre said Emerald may have to replace his limbs with substitutions otherwise could end badly for him in the future.

Marceline though smirks.

"Considering he was helping and looking after the weenie…" She said before the Vampire Queen was now holding Emerald in a bridal position.

Emerald blushed profusely from this.

"W-What are you doing!?" Emerald said when he didn't expect this at all.

Marceline chuckles.

"Oh relax, I'll be gentle with you." She said before she carries Emerald to the Treefort.

Emerald blushed as he was brought to the front door while BMO giggles as she ran after the duo with the wheelchair… though she comically moved to roll it behind Finn and he wound up getting rushed to the front door while Finn gave a girlish scream from the speed.

"Whoa!" Finn said as the rest of the royals and Denise blink at this.

Huntress looks amused before she looks at the others.

"Well some of us don't have royal duties and stuff to do so I'll make sure BMO doesn't put Finn in the hospital by crashing into a gold pile… lets go Phoebe, Elena… may as well make sure things go well and since you know Aura Elena, may as well make sure there are things we should know if you know more than most… Shade… doubt I need a wish for this but mind keeping an eye on these people or if its possible… I wish they were fully recovered from whatever it is they were in since they look like they have been through a tornado or something." Huntress said as she moved to walk to the treefort though she teased a few by swaying her hips to mess with some of the princesses.

"I don't see why not." Shade said with an amused look before granting Huntress's wish.

After this happened… those like Maite, Nicole, Bordux, and Aggro woke and Aggro had comical swirls where his eyes were.

"U-Ugh… not sure why I'm feeling better but we done getting tossed around?... I still feel like the place is spinning… also maybe seeing things with us in a lush green field… I didn't die by joyride right?" Aggro said when he was slowly recovering thanks to Shade's wish.

"No. We're all alive." Bordux said.

"You sure?... because I'm seeing sexy angels… and… a fallen angel maybe with this lady here?" Aggro said when he looks at the Princesses and said the fallen angel part with Shade here.

Bordux sweatdrops as Maite regained her barings.

"I don't see Emerald, Finn and Cedric." She said as she counted everyone in the group but didn't see Azure either.

"Thats because they went to the Treefort there… thanks to a Wishmaster like me, you were brought smack dab to the middle of Ooo and enough said Marceline the Vampire Queen is helping Emerald inside since Finn's treefort needs a renovation for wheelchair access and Finn went on ahead thanks to BMO." Shade said when she smirks at the four.

"And its thanks to me that your recovering from whatever it was that caused you all to get TKOed." Shade said when she looks amused as more start to recover like Azure, Whisper, Lanolin, and Tangle next.

"Wow… thank you." Lanolin said as she gets up.

"Welcome… all wishes are free if I'm amused to grant them so making me grant wishes against my will won't do… goes double for you two Badland bosses… mainly on altering magical contracts and stuff that deals with Emerald… also before you ask, while I COULD try and make Emerald healthy, his damage may be beyond even my wish granting skills unless I get a boost to them somehow or he gets a miracle or something to heal his limbs… worst comes to worst a guy named Lunarpyre said he may have to amputate and get robotic limbs or something." Shade said when she looks at Surge and Maite mainly.

"S-Seriously?!" Surge said with a surprise look while Maite now felt guilt since she and Surge provoked Emerald to a breaking point.

"Seriously… honestly unless Glob level wishmasters or other Glob level healers show up, Emerald may have to stay in his weakened state for a while… figured I should tell you two right now then have you be let down later." Shade said when she rubs her head when she felt bad for Surge and Maite since she could see Maite looking like she felt bad right now for Emerald's condition.

"Well shit… seems we're gonna have to really fix this once we go find our man." Surge said.

"Well one step at a time… for now may as well test to see if you two can even stand and help the others up so they can get to the Treefort." Shade said since even with the wish, people were still recovering but at a fast rate so not instant and this worked to show that Shade gave everyone a recovery boost mainly for health reasons.

"Right…" Surge said before everyone else were able to get up.

After this happened and as many were approaching the treefort… Shade looks at many of the Royals.

"OK… considering things, may as well give Finn a day or two in Ooo before many of you bombard him with questions and stuff, for now should let him acclimate to Ooo again otherwise if we pressure him, he may as well just bolt for his next adventure outside of Ooo." Shade said when she looks at many of the Royals here… the key ones already went on ahead so Shade figured now would be a good time to have people split up and the Royals should head back to their kingdoms for now to check on their people.

After thinking on things, some royals left to return to their kingdom while others like Hydrian and Lisa stayed where they were for now or worked their way to the treefort from their ends though that would take time.

Funny enough they would have time because the scene fades to black on this chapter and next chapter would start the rest arc before Cedric's homeland so could be a chapter or two before the group needed for Cedric's homeland gets there.
