Author's Note: The last chapter for the Showdown arc :D
Showdown 3 of 3
Chapter 12: Showdown III (Final)
Finn braced himself as he entered the secret passageway. He had to be very careful because Bandit Princess was just as formidable as the fully armored pigman adventurer. It did not help that the Spin System and his Source abilities will not bail him out this time, and it once again told Finn that he would not have survived long in Ooo if it wasn't for obtaining these powers.
It made the human feel weak and helpless, but then again, no one else would have fared well in this world if he swapped places; a veteran Navy SEAL would have been just as screwed as he was.
Finn walked through the dark tunnel and used the fire from his sword to light it up. There was no sight of Bandit Princess, but the human still had to be cautious because she nearly took his head off earlier, choosing to instead molest him.
He shuddered at how disgusting the situation was. There was never in a moment of his life where Finn encountered someone that almost killed him and attempted to rape him. To Finn, sexual assault was terrible no matter the gender, and he didn't like it. Even back on Earth, people didn't take men that get molested by women seriously; they think they are lucky bastards which was a double standard.
It especially left a sour taste in his mouth about grown women teachers coming onto minors and Finn remembered he was quite upset over the incident that happened a few years ago where a teen student male that was underage impregnated a female teacher and HE had to pay child support…
Finn discovered some stairs leading up and followed them. As the human traveled the up the stairs, he started to strategize and think about how to defeat Bandit Princess…
"That bitch outclasses me in sword fighting and she was toying with me. I was only able to keep her back with the fire blasts and thunder bolts from Stormalong, but when she managed to kick me on my back, she could have finished me right then and there, but she chose to stab the floor nearby my head and flirt with me some more. You know, I think I can use this to my advantage…ugh, this is going to suck."
Finn didn't like what he needed to do, but he had to be more pragmatic and had no choice but to swallow his disgust. Bandit Princess was obviously attracted to him, so maybe he can catch her off guard by using his looks to his advantage and cheap shot her while she was distracted.
After all, he did manage to land a hit on her earlier when she was trying to molest him and take his shirt off.
"Yeah, maybe I can re-create that scenario and get another chance…" Finn thought.
After a few minutes of walking, he finally came across a large balcony that was overlooking the whole kingdom with the cool wind blowing in his face. There was unfortunately no time to admire the beauty of the kingdom and the view, because this Princess Bubblegum was in trouble. He was quite high up, being a good ten-stories high. He was in the castle which was the biggest and tallest building in the kingdom.
He did notice that the gumball machine giants were no longer attacking the villainous riffraff, now they seemed to be helping candy people out of the ground which made Finn think that some of candy people must have been hiding in underground bunkers.
The human came across a large wooden door that had a white skull painted on it and under the skull was two words: Extreme Danger. It led directly into the massive tree that was sticking through the large castle-like building.
Finn was about to open it, but Bandit Princess came bursting out of the door and almost tackled Finn to the ground, but the human was able to dodge her in time.
"Came back for more, dude!?" Bandit Princess smiled evilly.
"Bandit Princess, wait! You want me, here I am." Finn said, taking off his shirt. Bandit Princess paused and looked at him confused.
"Oh, now you want me. I thought you said I was ugly?" Bandit Princess frowned, but she could not take her eyes off Finn's rock-hard muscles.
"You just shocked me that's all. Look, I'm new to Ooo and we humans respect strength and dominance, and you have showed me that you are very strong Bandit Princess." Finn laid his sword and gun down and went over to the railing of the balcony.
"Now how about you come over here and give me a kiss. You earned this." Finn smiled.
Bandit Princess giggled and sheathed her sword.
"Good boy, it's good that you have come to your senses. Bandits take and do whatever they want. Since you are a prince, I demand not just your body, but the treasures from your human kingdom called America!" Bandit Princess gave the human a seductive look and stripped off her blue rope and slowly walked towards the human.
Where Marceline looked like a busty and curvy gothic biker chick, Finn had to admit that Bandit Princess's body didn't look that bad.
Her boobs were small, and Bandit Princess had the athletic build of someone that does a lot of cardio and stretching because she did have a nice set of abs on her, which explained how she was so nimble and was effortlessly dancing around him during their brief squabble.
But Finn didn't care how attractive her body looked, she was still a terrible person that was assaulting and mugging a kingdom and was in cahoots with another vile thug that was about to murder an innocent princess. Not to mention her inhuman albino horned goat man-like face killed all sex appeal that she had.
The human smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you'll have everything, babe." Finn agreed.
He knew that he could not defeat her in a straight up fight, so the human had a trick up his sleeves. It was a good thing they were standing on the balcony because Finn was about to use the environment to his advantage.
Bandit Princess snaked her arms around Finn's waist and started to kiss him on the lips. Finn held the evil princess and kissed back, trying hard to enjoy the kiss. Bandit Princess was aggressive as her tongue fought to dominate Finn's and pushed herself against him, her naked breasts pressing tightly against his muscular chest.
"Not yet…focus…" Finn thought as Bandit Princess shoved his back against the railing. Finn did his best tongue wrestling Bandit Princess.
"Mmmm…" Bandit Princess moaned as she finally separated from Finn with a strand of saliva being pulled away from their lips.
"You're a good kisser!" Bandit Princess giggled and licked her lips.
"Uh oh, it looks like someone is getting excited down there!" She cooed, looking down and smirking at Finn's groin, and Finn mentally cursed himself over getting a hard on at a time like this.
"I shall free him from his bondage!" She knelt down to the ground and was about to unzip Finn's pants, but the human finally sprang into action and hit the evil princess with a one liner.
"Oh yeah, baby, that's right, go down on me. All the way down…"
Finn grabbed Bandit Princess's horns and using every ounce of his strength, he lifted her up with haste and chucked her over the side of the railing.
"Ahh! HEY! You bastard!" The evil princess of bandits screamed with fright as she fell down to the ground. There was a loud crash as Bandit Princess fell through a candy person's home and the human hoped it was enough to kill her.
"Hmph!" Finn got dressed, armed himself with his gun and sword, and wiped his mouth with his arm.
"I really need to jerk off sooner or later if I'm getting that excited from tongue kissing. Damn hormones…" He sighed and patted his groin. Bandit Princess had sharp teeth, and Finn was not going to let her mouth anywhere near his pride and joy.
The human got his bearings and went through the wooden door that Bandit Princess busted out of.
"What do you jerks want!?" Jake growled at the pack of foxes and why-wolve. Jake was playing with his puppies near the woods while Lady was resting nearby on a blanket on the grass.
"Yo, we wanna eat your puppies!" One of the foxes called out.
"Indeed. We want a piece of this action, especially since you and your brother beat us up not too long ago when we were preying on the house people." The alpha why-wolf growled at Jake.
Lady frowned and took a defensive stance, shielding her puppies away from the menacing beasts.
("Jake, be careful.") Lady said calmly and nodded to her husband.
"Got it, babe." Jake balled up his fists.
"Bring it on!" The heroic yellow dog challenged the pack of foxes and why-wolves.
The foxes and why-wolves roared and howled and started to charge at Jake, Lady, and the puppies. Jake formed his hands into giant fists and started to pummel the crap out of the beasts, ducking and dodging their bites and lunges and every now and then, delivering a kick that sent a beast crashing through the woods.
Lady Rainicorn used her body to swipe away any beast that got too close to her, but she unfortunately couldn't go all out because her body was still recuperating from giving birth not too long ago.
The puppies hiding behind Lady weren't scared by the beasts, in fact, they were curious and excited and were barking at the foxes and why-wolves.
To Lady's horror, the puppies started to teleport away from her.
("Huh, no! Charlie, TV, Kim Kil Whan, Viola, Jake Jr! Come back to me!") Lady yelled out in fright. The puppies randomly teleported across the area, giggling while evading the attacking foxes and why-wolves.
"No, puppies! Come to daddy!" Jake punched his way through a horde of beasts to chase after the puppies. Jake turned his arms into tentacles and tried to grab at his pups, but they were too quick and kept teleporting away from them.
The why-wolves and foxes were outmatched against the rainicorn and dog and prioritized chasing after the pups, but the pups evaded their assault without fail and made it easier for Lady and Jake to plow through them.
After a few minutes of brawling, the beasts were finally driven off.
"Darn you, Jake!" One of the foxes yelled out while running away.
"We will get our revenge one day, Jake the Dog!" The alpha why-wolf growled out and also took off. Jake and Lady were glad that they were fleeing. The pups finally started teleporting and got caught by Jake's arms.
("Charlie, Kim Kil Whan, TV, Jake Jr, and Viola, you pups are in big trouble.") Lady said sternly.
"That's right, what were you all thinking?" Jake questioned his pups. The puppies giggled with joy which caused both parents to sigh.
("Oh, what are we going to do with you little ones…") Lady shook her head and walked back to her house while Jake followed his wife.
"Looks like we need to cut back on sweets for the pups." Jake commented.
Finn walked through the door, entered the massive tree, and came across three dead banana humanoids that were sliced to pieces by Bandit Princess. They were most likely guards that were murdered by Bandit Princess and Finn had no time to feel sorry for them as he had a princess to rescue.
Finn found some wooden stairs that lead down and deeper into the tree and followed it, being careful not to trip because it was a long way down and he would have been hurt badly.
"J-Just take me! Don't hurt my brother, Neddy!" Finn heard a feminine voice beg.
The human finally arrived at the bottom chamber and came across three individuals: a deer, a pink candy humanoid, and a bizarre pink dragon with an upside-down head.
The deer must have been the second villain that invaded the Candy Kingdom that Bandit Princess was in cahoots with, and the pink candy humanoid must have been Princess Bubblegum. Finn had no idea what to say about the pink candy dragon that was sitting in a large pool of 'candy juice'.
Princess Bubblegum was lying on the floor with some kind of sticky thick honey that covered most of her body preventing her from moving with only her face exposed. The deer stood over here and was licking at her feet, trying to consume her while the pink dragon was cowering in fear in the corner of the large chamber.
The candy dragon appeared fat, had no sharp claws and teeth, its wings were too small, and its most bizarre feature was the fact that its head was upside down. It also lacked the strong-willed nature of usual dragons as it was cowering from the deer instead of trying to fight it, despite the candy dragon being bigger than the deer and could have stomped it to death.
"Hey, stop right there!" Finn shouted. The deer stopped licking and both the beast, and the candy princess looked at him with shock and confusion.
"My name is Finn Mertens, the Human Prince from the human kingdom America and I came to rescue you princess!"
"A h-human?" Princess Bubblegum exclaimed in shock.
"Princess Bubblegum, Jake and Jermaine are ok because I rescued them. Jermaine and the gang has driven off the invaders of your kingdom, and they are getting your candy citizens to safety. " Finn said to PB.
"You were the one to find and rescue the heroic dog brothers? Thank you for that! And please…I can use your help here…." PB said weakly as the sticky substance wasn't just restraining her, but it seemed to drain her of all her strength.
"Noted."
The deer faced Finn and to the human, it looked like a normal deer. Nothing was off about it, besides its dead eye stare, but what was really freaky is when it stood up on two legs and 'removed' the hoofs, revealing human-like hands.
"Gross…"
The deer's body started to contort with rock hard muscles, becoming as muscular as a bodybuilder. The deer now looked like a tall buff weredeer.
As the deer was bulking up with more muscle mass, Finn groaned in pain as a strange memory came to him.
"Damn, not at this time." He clenched his teeth.
A memory flashed in his mind, and it was a kid version of himself fighting the deer…
"Be careful!" PB called out as he and Jake chased after the deer. Jake grabbed the back of the deer's legs while he was trying to wrestle it to the ground on top of its back. The deer was able to kick Jake in the face and forced him to let go and the deer managed to buck him off and sent him falling to the ground.
The deer then proceeded to stomp on his legs, breaking them.
"W-Whatever…" The kid Finn said through clenched teeth trying not to cry out in agony, and then the deer tossed him into the nearest building and knocked him unconscious.
The memory ended and It didn't help that Finn even felt a little bit of pain in his legs even though he is fine and has never hurt his legs. Thankfully, it didn't last long as Finn was able to focus back on the deer monster and the strange phantom pain went away.
"Jesus Christ, did the kid version of me really had to fight monstrous enemies like that almost weekly, and only being just 12 or 13?" He muttered in shock. He was starting to learn more and more that a Finn Mertens did live in Ooo and for now on, he was going to refer to the kid Finn that lived in this bizarre land Ooo Finn.
But Finn couldn't focus on that right now, he had a freaky deer to kill, so he readied his weapons and got into a battle stance.
The beast charged at him while Finn shot a few bullets at it. The bullets pierced through its chest, but it still kept heading towards him. When the deer got close enough, Finn started to unleash fireballs and thunderbolts at the deer from his Stormalong.
The deer was apparently a masochist for pain so while it took the attacks to the chest, it was able to get close enough to deliver a punch to Finn's belly.
"Ugh! The human was knocked back and fell into the pool of 'candy juice'.
"Ahhh!" The candy dragon that was called Neddy cried out in fear. The deer spat a glob of sticky substance in Neddy's eyes, blinding him and causing the candy dragon to thrash around in fright and busted out of the chamber and into the kingdom.
"No, N-Neddy…Glob damn you…" PB cursed weakly. Neddy tried to flee the Candy Kingdom, thrashing blindly, but the large candy dragon was knocked unconscious when he accidentally ran headfirst into the leg of a gumball machine giant.
Meanwhile, Finn managed to climb out of the candy juice, and he was very sticky, as if he just dived into a pool of soda. It was a good thing he was close to the edge because he struggled to swim in it. The candy juice had a lot of bubbles in it which meant it mimicked aerated water.
Finn learned in High school that swimming in aerated water was dangerous as the water has a lot of gas in it that greatly reduces the water's density, which meant even an experienced swimmer will struggle to keep himself afloat in a pool of aerated water as his buoyancy is decreased. Those that can't swim? Forget about it…
He remembered that someone actually died at a wastewater treatment plant because they accidently fell into a pool of deep aerated water and could not stay afloat and sunk to the bottom like a rock.
However, it did give Finn an idea…
The deer cracked its knuckles as it shook off the fire and stared down at Finn as he was getting out the candy juice.
What made it very creepy was the fact it did not speak or make a sound, even when it was burnt by the fire and shocked by the lightning attacks from Stormalong, its dead eye expression did not change. Despite its menacing demure, the wounds that Finn inflicted on it was still pretty serious as most of its body had third degree burns and some of the flesh of its face burnt away, revealing its jawbone and forehead.
Finn stood on the edge that led to the pool of candy juice and decided to taunt the beast.
"Is that all you got you motherfucker? Come on, I'm right here, Give me your best shot." He taunted.
The deer ran at Finn to throw another punch, but the human quickly side stepped and shoved the deer into the candy juice. However, the deer was quick enough to land a retaliating kick to Finn's forehead as he went passed him, knocking Finn on his back and leaving him dizzy.
Finn grabbed his shotgun as the deer struggled to swim out of the water and made his shotgun sing. The loud booms of Finn's shotgun rang out as he emptied it at the deer that was struggling to get out of the candy juice. The deer started to sink to the bottom after Finn blew off its arms and most of its skull.
"Oh, god…haa…haa…" Finn panted and dropped the shotgun, no longer seeing any splashing coming from the pool of candy juice. He hoped it was dead. If missing its limbs and most of its brain didn't kill it, then drowning in the candy juice will.
Finn looked over to PB who was watching the entire thing with shock and the human crawled over to the trapped candy princess.
"Are you ok, Princess?"
"I'm fine, are you, sir?"
"Ha…" Finn smiled.
"Not really…" Finn was still greatly hurt by the deer kicking him in the face and he was using every ounce of his willpower to not faint from the trauma to his brain. He took Stormalong and freed PB by cutting off the sticky substance that trapped her and she slowly stood up.
Finn heard voices coming from the wooden stairs and it sounded like Jermaine and the gang coming in to see if they were fine. Relief swelled inside Finn's heart.
"Thank god…" Finn collapsed on the ground and his vision started to fade to black.
"Hey, stay with me." PB said with concern. All Finn could only think of was how pretty Princess Bubblegum looked…
-1 Week Later-
Finn struggled to open his eyes as all he saw was white, but after his vision adjusted to the light, he found himself lying down in a hospital bed. At first, he thought he was back on Earth and woke up in a coma, but to his great disappoint, he was still in Ooo because the hospital room had a damn chair nearby the bed made out of candy.
The human sat up from the bed and got off it. He was dressed in a hospital gown and his clothes were neatly folded on the candy chair, but his weapons and other items were missing. His smartphone was also missing.
"Damn, I thought I was a goner back there…" Finn sighed with relief and started to do some stretches. He looked out the window to see that the destroyed candy kingdom was up in running again and the candy folks were back to doing their daily duties.
"Huh? They managed to fix everything that quick? How long was I out?" He asked out loud. He needed to see Jermaine, so Finn went to the candy chair to dress himself up in his Earth clothes…
