JAKE THE DOG:
The cold bit at me upon my fur, explosions ran in the background but right now I had a small matter to attend to.
I grabbed my opponent by his hands, stretching mine and started spinning, quickly, sharply.
I launched him to the cold mountain, his legs enlarged and cushioned his impact thrn he sprung back at me with immense speed.
Shrinking his legs back and then increasing the size of his arm, I in turn enlarged my arms and kept them to block. He slammed it onto me, the ground under my feet crumbled, my arms trembled but I countered.
I stretched my arms around his body, using my fingers for extra grip then I stretched my stomach like a long limb and slammed it into his belly.
After the first one, he gasped. By the second time, he began coughing. Then by the third, he was coughing blood.
He began gigantifying his entire body, his armour weirdly grew with him, squirming and breaking free from my grasp. Soon he was the size of a building charging his fist down at me, he slammed it onto me or that's what he thought.
I had shrunk down considerably to that of an ant and crawled onto his giant body, until I reached his head level then I puffed my arm up and slammed my fist to his jaw sending him flying.
"Hey you know I've figured you out!".
He glared at me while readjusting his jaw.
"You're just a bozo who can get big, you ain't got half the shit i do".
"Oh shut up!", he bellowed while charging at me still in his gargantuan form.
I rushed back at him, this time in my normal size as we reached close and he swung his fists however he only hit the air.
I shrunk to his feet level then sprung up and landed a harsh uppercut, without leaving him the time to think though I followed up with a barrage of blows to his body then grabbed his hand and body slammed him to the ground.
The collision destroyed the floor and created a sizeable chasm then behind us I heard a large explosion, even larger than the ones I've heard so far.
I bolted to the area of the explosion, turning back only once to look at the man still on the ground.
His accomplice stood hold the alternate Finn unconscious in his grasp while the Finn was beat up with various burn marks and scars, his prosthetic arm was also missing but he had no other major injuries.
While the other guy had various wounds all over his body and his stupid grin was gone, he turned to meet my eyes and said "Your coming too".
"It was difficult getting him in one piece but I don't have to be as gentle with you".
He carefully dropped him beside a lump of snow and without wasting even a bit of time, he exploded to me.
SIMON PETRIKOV:
I crouched behind a heap of snow carefully watching their insane battle, I'm surprised Jake dealt with the other guy so easily but now he has to fight the explosion guy.
"…Simon…".
A voice whispered, shallow, hollow, scary. I turned to where I heard it from but no one was there, everything felt so weird in this Ice biome since I first came but now it's just worse.
"…Simon…", I heard again.
I covered my ears and shook my head, am I going mad again?? That makes no sense I'm not even wearing the crown…the crown.
I listened more intently and followed the voice to a particularly tall mountain, my legs wanted to give way due to the cold and I could feel my hands getting cold but I pushed through.
After all, I should be fine with cold.
There was a small hole by the side which I used to enter, the inside was beautiful almost euphoric.
It was hollow, strong ice walls and floor made it seem almost like my old ice home, then there was a lump of snow which stood tall and at the summit was my old friend.
The shiny gold spikes stood tall, the ruby gems shun brightly and the crown gazed at me intensely.
"…Wear it…"
I slowly walked towards the crown, memories flashing back, my time with Marceline, my antics as the Ice King, Betty…my Betty.
"Wear it, Petrikov!", the voice said this time more demanding.
I held the crown gazing at my reflection from the red gems, seeing only my old mad self inside. Do I really wanna go back to this?? This isnt worth it but I can save my friends, I can save everyone and have everything.
"Wear it!!".
"Wear it!!!".
I can feel the power already, I raised it over my head and slammed it on the ice under my feet. It hit and rolled behind me, I took a deep breath knowing I did what's best.
I turned back though to see the alternate Finn a few feet behind me, the crown at his feet. His eyes were hollow, he was still unconscious.
The crown called to him as it did me but now he has no way of resisting its madness. Suddenly, Finn lurched forward, his hand shooting toward the crown.
"No stop!!".
He grabbed the crown but hesitated just inches from placing it atop his head, trembling as if battling something within but as it may be, he lost the battle.
A maniacal laugh resonated all over the hollow ice mountain, his heard grew, sprouting out the ends of his hat white and shallow.
His nose became sharper, his skin paled and he began to levitate up in the air.
"Simon", Finn called out cold and ragged.
He looked down at me, the ice mountain spilt up at the top and he hovered over it.
"I have more than enough power to destroy you here and now".
He raised his hands subsequently giant ice pillars sprung up all over the terrain.
That's when I realized, I wasn't talking to the alternate Finn but the crown itself.
He looked back down at me, intent and bloodlust in his gaze then he said, "Get the dog and run".
