FINN MERTENS
I stood tall gazing at the infuriated Lizardman but I felt no fear, he had went on and on about humans doing this and that but at this point, I owed him no sympathy.
I saw him pierce through Flame Princess meaning he had the intention to kill and that was also why I had no intention of sparring his companion and while I did want to give him another try, I'm done with that.
I gazed down at my flaming sword, the fire seeming to slowly dwindle, both my arms slightly burnt-one filled with pink patches or exposed skin while the other had black edges from burnt metal.
I gazed back up at him, steadying my breath. How I had managed to keep my head straight upon all the pain I felt, I had no idea but I had a reason to fight and it was to keep Flame Princess safe.
And Although I didn't know where Jake was or any of my other friends, I wanted to stay alive and return to them. Golgoth was wronged somehow but nothing I could say or do now would help, he clearly has some screws loose and I'll do him the honour of sending him to meet the rest of his family.
Final Round
He leapt towards me as I sent slashes of fire at him, maneuvering through the air crookedly, he managed to get past with only light cuts.
He slammed his blade down at me causing me to block with my sword, using my two hands at the edges of the sword-burning palm more intensely in the process.
I mustered up some strength and pushed him back, without wasting much time he came at me again.
Our blades collided on and on again, eventually i managed to evade a heavy strike and turn faster than him, succeeding in landing a slash right at his torso.
He stood there for a second as we locked eyes, he looked almost like the didn't even mind the pain from the cut or that I was close to him. I could feel the force of his intent piercing into me. In a beat his right arm let go of his sword, his hand blurred as he grabbed onto something at his back and swung at my side.
I managed to raise my prosthetic arm in time to block, a small blade clattered through it, metal and some oil splashed but it was far better than if it was my neck.
Thinking quickly i adjusted my arm, thereby moving his as he held onto the sword. Then i tightened my grip on my sword and sliced his hand clean off.
A metallic smell disturbed my nose as blood gushed out of the lizard man's hand, he jumped back while holding his giant blade, pain now evident over his face.
"How dare you!!".
"This is your end!!!".
With that he sprinted at me once more, blood splattering, forming a trail, his heavy sword gripped just behind his shoulder.
I bolted at him as well, pushing fatigue back and rearing my body up. Then once I was in his range, he swung his sword at my head, desperation now obvious in his movements. Whatever fuel he had to kill me was gonna be the catalyst for his death.
I crouched lower than his blade, strands of my hair even being cut by the swing then I swung my blade at his stomach in one foul motion.
The flaming blade cut through majority of his abdomen with relative ease before I knew it, I had gone past him and he in turn had fell on his back.
He still held his great sword in his hands even as he was bleeding out-of all the things I could say about the Lizardman, one thing is sure, he was strong.
"Humans…why??", his voice now shallow and weak. "I just wanted revenge, that…I deserved".
I walked towards him, standing over him and gazed into his now teary eyes. Although the dying man lay crying as his life force slowly dwindled, I felt not an ounce of guilt and that worried me.
I raised my sword once more-the fire almost completely extinguished now, and slit his neck, ending his suffering quicker.
I flapped my sword in the air, removing the blood from it then I looked up at Flame Princess.
Fatigue and pain finally set into me as I began walking over to her. "See…I told you…I could do it".
My vision started to darken and blur and my feet started to weaken as she rushed to me.
"…Finn!…".
"…Finn!!…".
PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM
I laid on a hard sheet less bed, staring at the mud ceiling, Yaeger had directed me to this room to rest.
It was small without any windows or even a door and sleep had eluded me completely, all I could think about were my friends, Marceline.
I sat upright scanning my room again, there were some cockroaches on the walls, some rats passed by my door, the lighting from the corridor outside my open door in question providing the bare minimum amount of lighting for me to see.
It was a huge contrast from my rather lavish life at my kingdom, my kingdom. I can't imagine it being gone, I can't imagine any of my friends dying.
My heart ached, a strong unbearable ache as tears ran down my cheeks. I hope Finn is still alive, if anyone can save Ooo, it's him.
"…what do you mean Honah is dead??…", a voice rang someways away.
I stood up and crept closer to where the sound came from, it was what I'd believed to be their command base.
Where various large furniture was arranged, it also had a bright chandelier at the top along with a rather large seat almost like a throne in the centre where Yaeger sat.
"His signature is gone, he's dead. Dedic is returning though".
"I don't give a fuck about Dedic!! I want my brother!!!".
I recognized these voices, the girl seemed to be reporting in on the death of someone close to the stretchy person.
"Armstrong!", a voice cut out.
There was a moment of silence after Yaeger spoke, then I heard a hiss and footsteps walking out the room from the other exit.
"Amelia, how did Honah die??", Yaeger asked.
"From one I can conjure up from his memories, he fought against a variant of Jake the Dog. He ended up losing the fight and was attacked by another person, one with ice powers, although I can't seem to find out who".
Yaeger sighed then said, "It seems as though the Jake I've been searching for has awoken".
"Any other news??".
"Yes master, both Kaiser and Golgoth are dead".
"And who caused it!?", Yaeger's voice carrying a pan of anger.
"It seems to be Finn, Finn the hero".
There was a light rustle almost like chairs moving then Yaeger let out a chuckle then he began to laugh, a long maniacal laugh.
There was a brief stunt of silence as my eyes watered and relief washed over me for a second, I can't believe they were really alive.
"I've been looking for this boy for months now, to think he'd kill two of my men as soon as he appeared".
"Now at least I know him and his dog are alive, they will be a major thorn in my plans".
"What makes them so dangerous", the female voice-Amelia inquired.
"It is said that those two will determine the course of events in the history of Ooo each time they're born".
"Especially the human, if I can even call him that".
"He's outstanding, one with so much multiversal importance that so much of his variants are still alive".
"He's a Singularity, a motion of change and this version of him is the biggest challenge".
"Now at least all the members are on the board".
"All factors can be accounted for and the merge can truly begin".
