52The scene showed TME sitting on a barrier high in the air while he watched the fight between the inhabitants of Ooo and the out of control Vampire King cloud.
He watched the battle unfold before he looked to the side for some reason when he sensed a familiar energy that made him grin.
It was then that a portal was opening up and exiting out is Atomsk before TME made a barrier under the portal for Atomsk to walk on.
"Welcome, I see you came here to enjoy the show right?" TME said with an amused tone when he looked back to the Battle when candy citizens rushed out of the castle after a roundish figure was seen on the roof of the castle and shouts some orders to the candy citizens.
"Yeah. Hope I'm not late or anything." Atomsk said before he walked towards TME and took a seat next to him.
"Nah, you joined the party at the right time, look." TME said when the fire kingdom volcano erupts before a massive amount of lava rained down on the Vampire King cloud but it didn't affect it… more like it backfired on the candy citizens and only pissed off the cloud more.
"Dang, I hoped that attack worked." Atomsk said.
"No kidding, I mean it was freaking lava and it just past through the guy… than again the guy looks like toxic gas already so I guess it doesn't matter since the star of this moment is approaching." TME joked before they heard a long screeching sound which made them turn their heads like so many others in Ooo did before they saw Marceline shoot up into the Vampire King cloud's stomach before TME grins.
"Guess the story offically starts here, anything to say to the readers before we really get into it?" TME asked Atomsk while he summoned some popcorn to munch on.
"Uh yeah. I say welcome everyone. I'm your co-host Atomsk the Pirate King and beside is your host/birthday boy, TME." Atomsk said while putting the spotlight on TME.
TME grins at that before he snapped his fingers before time froze around the duo when he wanted the scene to be perfect before he spoke up.
"Thank you Atomsk, now than, I'd like to introduce you to A New Vampire King, an adventure time story that Atomsk and I thought of, this story starts out near the end of Stakes… but with a couple twists that makes the ending very, very, different… and I don't want to spoil much more right Atomsk?" TME asked with a grin on his face.
"Right you are TME." Atomsk said which made TME chuckle before he leaned back while his barrier made a seat of sorts for him.
"Well than, want to lead the intro into the story Atomsk?" TME asked when he looked to Atomsk with one eye.
"Sure." He said before looking at the readers.
"We hope you enjoy the first chapter of this story and we'll see you later at the outro. Deuces." Atomsk said with two fingers before the scene shifts to under the Vampire King cloud… right after TME resumed time when Marceline jumped into the cloud to try and absorb its power.
Ooo/ Candy Kingdom fields/ Vampire King Cloud battle Finale/ Marceline
To the onlookers in the fight, it looked like Marceline shot into the cloud before it looked like she stopped in the center of the cloud after the cloud stopped from the sudden intrusion with a slightly wide eyed look.
That's when Marceline mentally spoke to him.
"King?"
She calls as the Vampire King cloud screams.
"Vampire King?, Can you hear me?" She mentally calls again before the Vampire King cloud screams again before trying to remove Marceline.
That's when Marceline finally spoke.
"Too bad." She said before her heart on her left chest formed a mouth with teeth before she starts absorbing him.
Now most would think that this was the return of the Vampire Queen Marceline with the absorbtion of his power… but deep down, something in the cloud had one last spark of intelligence or maybe some kind of instinct to keep itself alive was brought out for a moment before it did something really surprising when it pulled back a cloudy tentacle… and shot it into it's body with all of its might before it pierced through it's body with fanged teeth forming on the cloud end and hit Marceline on her side which forced her out of the cloud and towards the ground with a bang while the cloud roared in pain from it's own attack.
Everyone gasped after seeing that.
Marceline groans a bit before looking up at the Vampire King cloud which looked to her when it felt like Marceline was bad news and drew back a cloudy tentacle with a couple fangs and it aimed it at the down Marceline before the tentacle shot forward with shocking speed.
Everyone's eyes widen with shock and fear as they saw that while Marceline closed her eyes and braced herself for what's about to happen.
Meanwhile right before the cloud attacks…
Finn, like everyone else, watched Marceline fly into the cloud and gasped when Marceline got forced out of the cloud.
Unlike everyone else who froze when they saw the cloud moving to face Marceline… Finn's body moved for him and rushed as fast as he could while he saw the cloud readying its attack.
Finn didn't even stop when he saw the attack flying forward and his next action would shock all when he jumped between the tentacle and Marceline… right before the sound of fangs piercing flesh was heard.
Marceline opened her and was shocked when she saw what was happening.
"FINN!" She screamed before the camera pulled away to show Finn while he held the tentacle back... While it had it's fangs in his neck and torso while the lower ones bit into his stomach from an angle before he spoke up with a grin on his face while some blood ran from his lips.
"H-Hey…. Marcy…. Y-you… okay?" Finn shockingly asked while he somehow held the tentacle back from moving which confused the Cloud when it couldn't pull free.
Marceline was getting teary when she saw Finn's condition.
"Why Finn?" She asked before Finn surprisingly chuckling through the pain.
"He… hehe…. t-to be… honest… my body… moved on it's own… right when you got launched… out… of this… donk… and d-didn't stop w-when this g-guy tried… to… *Cough*!" Finn tried to explain before he coughed up a little blood when the cloud tried to tighten it's jaws on Finn… but he still held strong.
Everyone was getting into tears as they saw Finn bleed while Marceline was getting sadder at the sight.
"But... I didn't... want you to get… hurt."
"M-Maybe… but… I… didn't want… to see… y-you of all... people here… getting hurt…" Finn cryptically said when shadows covered his eyes when many memories went through his head rapidly.
Marceline was shocked to see that before speaking.
"F-Finn?" She called
Finn then spoke up with a surprising growl in his voice right when he looked the cloud in the eye before he said a shocking sentence.
"If you want to harm a woman I love…. Then you have to go through me you donk!" Finn growled out with such intensity that for a moment… something registered in the cloud… something deep down when more of Finn's blood dripped onto the tentacle which allowed the cloud to register what Finn was…. a Human.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Finn yell like that.
Marceline was more shocked when she heard what finn said.
'Did he just say…' Marceline thought before stopping, but blushed a bit.
A moment past before the cloud let out a roar right before Finn yelled out for some reason when something was wrong… for both him and the cloud when something caused the cloud to not drink Finn's blood… but to go a different route when it seemed to slowly shrink while a startling change was happening to Finn when his teeth start to sharpen into razor sharp fangs and his eyes start to glow blood red.
Everyone gasped at what was happening.
Marceline was more shocked when she know what's happening to the hero before she tries to go help him.
Unfortunately, she stumbled after a couple steps before falling to her knees when pain shot through her body from her right side.
"What's happening to me?" She questioned before she looked to her right side… and to her shock… saw two broken fangs which most likely lodged there and broke off after the cloud shot her out with more force than it's body was used to… and it seemed that they were doing something to her as well, Moon's regeneration or not, when the teeth pumped something into her body for a moment before the teeth disintegrate which left two holes in her side... which recovered to show two pin prick like holes while the area round it greyed a little before it slows.
Marceline groans before looking up to see Finn and the cloud still screaming/roaring while the cloud looked many times smaller before it rapidly vanished which left the tentacle before that too vanished while Finn oddly fell silent when his arms fell to his side while the shadow of his bloody hat hid his eyes from view.
Marceline got up and limp to Finn's side while hoping he was okay.
However he starts to wobble before she could get to him and he starts to fall backwards to the ground with a thud a moment later.
"FINN!" Marceline yelled before finally kneeling down and hold him in her arms.
Everyone circled around the duo before Jake and Princess Bubblegum moved through the crowd till they were by Marceline.
Thankfully it was a good thing that Jake was near when Finn's body starts to steam in the sunlight before his face and arms start to get burns on them while he grit his now fanged teeth even in his knocked out state which showed how much pain his body was in right now when his skin came in contact with the sunlight.
"Bro." Jake said with tears in his eyes.
Bubblegum was feeling the same thing when she couldn't think or say anything.
However, to the group's surprise, a dome of ice was made over the group and mainly Finn before the Ice king lands.
"I saw what happened, can't have my turbro burning up from the sun if I put two and two together from seeing what just happend when I flew here, kind of surprised Jake didn't turn into an umbrella already." Ice king said with a grin when Finn's burns slowly heal when he was out of the sun before Finn's body relaxed in his sleep.
Jake forgot to do that since he was so concerned for Finn.
Marceline continues to hold Finn while at his face.
Bubblegum looked up at the dome before speaking.
"Thank you Ice King."
"Eh no worries, though maybe a date would help for repaying me for helping Finn just now." Ice King said with wiggling eyebrows when he tried to get a date again.
Bubblegum facepalm before.
"Are you seriously asking me this at time like this?" She asked.
Ice king gave her a half lidded look before responding.
"Hey it's a lot better than me kidnapping again right?, besides with as many shut downs as I got over the years by practically every single princess in Ooo did you really expect me to not try and get something after helping Finn?" Ice King counter asked Bubblegum with crossed arms.
Said former Candy Monarch fumed before speaking.
"Oh my Glob. I can't even… *Sigh* Fine Ice King. You want a date then I'll give you one. Just one date. And after that, I want you to stop pestering me. Got it?"
Ice King smiles at that before he starts to cheer and starts dancing with the closest thing near him… which was Jake when Ice king swings him around.
Said magical dog was telling him to let go which Ice king did before rubbing the back of his head with a slight chuckle since he was still in a good mood.
Bubblegum facepalm again before she kneels down by Marceline as she looks at Finn to see if he's okay.
Thanks to the Ice King, Finn was ok now that he was out of the sun for the most part, though his clothing was in tatters from the waist up from the fangs hitting his shirt and hat which caused blood to dye the clothing somewhat... it also seemed that the bite he got from the cloud healed over somehow, his skin looked normal in coloring so far but it looked like he was between a vampire and human if the fangs in his mouth was any indication.
Tears continue to leak Marceline's eyes before she rubbed Finn's cheek.
Jake finally walked over to Marceline and Bubblegum before speaking.
"Is Finn alright? What should we do?"
Bubblegum looks up before speaking.
"He seems okay. We should get him to the hospital. Can you turn into an umbrella Jake?"
Jake nods before doing just that.
Bubblegum grabs Jake before looking at Marceline.
"Want me to hold him Marcy?"
However, before Marceline could respond… Ice King of all people spoke up with a surprisingly serious look on his face when his eyes looked… slightly less insane… and his voice seemed more level.
"Actually… could I speak with Marcy in private?" Ice king cryptically asked the group.
Bubblegum and Jake were surprised to hear that before the former Candy Monarch spoke.
"Can't that wait? We need to get Finn to a doctor." Bubblegum said with a slightly irritated tone before Ice king spoke up.
"I'm sure Jake can take care of him and cover him from sunlight and you can handle the medical stuff with Dr. Princess… besides… it can't wait." Ice king said with a more serious expression to the former candy monarch with a more sane tone which sounded… slightly familiar to some.
Bubblegum didn't have time to argue before speaking.
"Alright. But make it quick." She said before she and Jake walked away so Ice King can do what he need before it was just him and Marceline, while still holding Finn.
Ice King then said something very shocking to the Vampire Queen when they were alone with the knocked out Finn.
"It's been awhile Marceline… I see that Finn protected you from that cloud." Ice King said with a more calm collected tone for some reason.
Marceline was shocked after hearing that before speaking.
"S-Simon?"
"... For now… I managed to get some control back after all of these years… but I don't know how long it will last today, but I know it won't last much longer than that." Ice King, or Simon said from within the Ice King with a kind smile on his face.
Marceline felt upset about that… but understood.
"But what do you have to say that needs to be private?" She asked.
"More like a couple things but first... everyone might have saw what just happened but I'm sure only Bubblegum and you would figure it out soon while Jake might block out the reality for a bit… but it looks like that Finn somehow absorbed the Vampire King's power and he's in a state called sanguine Vampirism… same for you but to a lesser extent since you only got two small fangs… you already know what that means right?" Simon asked the Vampire Queen.
Marceline nods before speaking.
"It means that Finn… will become the new Vampire King." She said.
"Indeed and I doubt that Bubblegum's machine or Bubblegum herself would work on him without a possible repeat of what just nearly happened to her kingdom, so no cure for Finn anytime soon… not only that but I checked and it seemed like the machine was totaled in the explosion anyway so Finn will have to get used to being a Vampire fast… I also have a bad feeling that his Vampirism is… different than the former Vampire Kings." Simon said while he looked down to Finn.
Marceline was shocked to hear that before speaking.
"W-What do you mean? What's gonna happen to him?"
Ice King sighs before he spoke up.
"Tell me, what do you think the original species that a vampire took was?" Simon asked while he looked to Marceline with a serious expression.
Marceline took a moment to think before speaking.
"The Vampire King was like a lion."
Simon shook his head before he spoke up.
"I mean the species in general, not the king himself." Simon said with crossed arms.
Marceline took another moment to think before speaking.
"Human right?"
"Correct, all sources of Vampires normally have a human host in the past but since the Mushroom war, humans became mutated or rare in number in certain areas so Vampires had to use a different species or species's to survive… aside from survival, why do you think Vampires went after the humans the most?, because of the blood they have?, because they're so rare nowadays so it makes them some kind of rare delicacy?" Simon cryptically said to the vampire Queen when he was getting to something.
Marceline nods in understanding as she remembers helping some humans escape before she first fought the Vampire king on the massive boat.
"Well… that's not the only reason… and it could explain why the cloud did what it did with Finn even if it looked like it went out of control." Simon said when he looked to Finn.
"What else is there?" Marceline asked.
"Before I say what I want to say, I want to ask you that while you are strong, do you think you could take the Vampire King if he was using his full power?, with no help from others or weapons." Simon cryptically asked Marceline with a serious expression on his face.
Marceline took a moment to think before speaking up.
"Not sure if I could." She said while putting her head down.
"Well… depending on what happens now…Finn could even be stronger than the former Vampire King after I explain my reasoning as to why." Simon said when he looked to the ice dome and reinforced it for a moment with a blast of ice before he looked to Marceline.
Marceline was surprised to hear that before looking at Simon to hear what he had to say.
"The reason is simple, the Former vampire King was a lion… Finn is a human which was the original host of vampirism, and that's why Finn will have such a high affinity with his vampire powers since his blood isn't diluted by different species blood… in a simple term, if The Vampire King was rank A or S than Finn would be S or even higher thanks to the purity of his human blood, even with a mutation or two, honestly I would worry about Finn not being able to control his new powers and hurt someone by accident." Simon said when he made a block of ice and took Finn's hat which showed his blonde hair and placed the block in it before using the wrapped ice and placed it on Finn's forehead to act like a compress.
Marceline was shocked to hear that before looking at Finn with worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry Marceline, I'm sure with you at his side, things will turn out alright… unfortunately I can feel my control slipping back to the Ice king right now… so until we can speak again… I just want to say that while things didn't turn out alright, I'm very proud of you and I love you Marceline, and take care…, oh and tell Bubblegum that I did her a favor and made the Ice King forget the date..." Simon said before grinning at the end before he frowns when he gripped his head and stumbles around a little.
Marceline smiled while crying a little before speaking.
"I will. I love you too Simon. And don't worry, I'll make sure to be at Finn's side. I'll also try to find a way to free you from the crown. I know Betty is still trying to find a way as well."
Simon grins a bit before he let out a loud yell for a moment before he let go of his head and starts looking around with insane eyes.
"Huh… what am I doing here?, last thing I remember was talking about cockroaches or rats with Marceline." Simon or now Ice King said when he looked around before noticing Marceline and Finn who's head was on her lap and the ice dome.
"Whoa, what happened to Finn?, he looks like he got chewed up and spat out by something… and did I make this thing?." Ice King said when he looked at the semi-vampiric human with a raised eyebrow before looking at the dome again with a clueless expression on his face which showed that Simon did his part for Bubblegum.
Marceline wiped a tear before speaking.
"Yes Simon you did. And I'll explain the rest later but right now, I need to go to Bonnibel and Jake." She said before getting up while holding Finn before walking towards said duo.
The Ice King raised an eyebrow in confusion before he decided to follow alongside Marceline while he kept quiet.
Bubblegum and Jake noticed the duo, and the unconscious Finn, before Bubblegum spoke.
"Everything okay?" She asked.
"Uhhh… I'm not sure, last thing I remember was talking with Marcy after your second home went kablooey before that walking dust cloud went to your kingdom, why am I here again?" Ice king said to Bubblegum while he looked around with a confused look on his face, he made a Ice umbrella for Finn when some light hit him but he was still confused about why he was here.
Bubblegum and Jake were confused before Marceline gave them a look which said 'she'll explain later'.
The duo shrugged before Bubblegum spoke.
"Well we gotta get Finn to the doctor then. Jake, can you please make an opening for us?"
Said dog nods before he changed back to and made his hands to huge fists before hitting the wall of the ice dome with one fist.
It caused the side of the wall to collapse before everyone exits the dome.
Just then the candy people surround everyone to see if Finn's okay before one pushed a wheelbarrow with pieces of Peppermint Butler in front of Bubblegum.
"How you feeling pep?" Bubblegum asked with a concerned look.
"I've seen better days milady. I got good news. King of Ooo has been overthrown. So the Kingdom is yours again." Peppermint Butler said to Bubblegum with a smile.
Bubblegum was surprised to hear that before speaking.
"Then let's get going so we can help you and Finn."
"Uh Princess…" A gumball like candy citizen said when it approached Bubblegum.
"Yes?" Bubblegum replied.
"Well... I heard a few Banana guards talking about Crunchy and how he took over and is now calling himself a princess and stuff." The Candy citizen said while looking back at said two guards and waved while said guards waved back to the group.
Bubblegum facepalmed before speaking.
"Great... Guess i'll have to overthrown crunchy later. Right now we have to get Finn and Peppermint to a doctor."
"Hehe, well I don't know about what's going on right now but I can led a hand if needed, being around pals seem fun right now." Ice King said when he lit his hand alight with icy magic for emphasis.
Bubblegum would've said something before Marceline came to her ear before whispering.
"Simon was able to regain control for a moment and made sure to erase the memory for the date."
Bubblegum's eyes widen after hearing that while screaming with joy on the inside.
She looks at Ice King before speaking.
"Very well Ice King. If you help me, I'll… open a book club for your Fionna and Cake Fanfiction that I've been hearing so much about."
Ice King grins at that before he clapped a few times.
"Oh goody, I got a lot of material just waiting back at my home, what do you need me to do?" Ice king asked with a grin on his face.
"Just freeze sir crunchy and hold him there til I return." Bubblegum said.
"You got it Bubblegum, I'll make the block so big that everyone can see it." Ice King excitingly said before he flew away while he dropped the ice umbrella on Jake's head by accident.
"Opps… sorry Jake." Ice King said before he flew off to the candy castle to freeze the small king melter.
Jake groans from that before he hears Marceline calling him.
"Jake! Help!" She yells as she sees Finn's skin burning a little.
Jake quickly got to action before he grows big and went over Marceline like an arch to help cover Finn.
The candy citizens than saw the Vampire Queen carry Finn to the Candy Kingdom hospital with Jake walking over her before Bubblegum followed a moment later till they neared the candy kingdom gates… right before everyone stopped when they heard a scream from the candy Kingdom castle before a pillar of ice was seen while a tiny bead like figure was seen in the middle of it before mad laughing was heard from the kingdom.
Everyone sweatdropped from that before entering the Kingdom while they felt the temperature dropping a bit when a large ice pillar was seen near the fountain which showed Crunchy near the top from near the candy kingdom castle roof.
Bubblegum, Jake and Marceline got inside the Candy Kingdom Hospital where they were approached by Dr. Princess and her staff.
Dr. Princess smiles at the group but frowns when she saw Finn in Marceline's arms and Jake walking over the Vampire Queen before she looked to her staff.
"Prep a bed, we got an injured hero." Dr. Princess said to her staff with a serious look on her face.
"And make sure it's a room with no windows." Bubblegum added.
Though confused, The staff nods to the princess before some went to go prepare a windowless room.
One staff member approached Marceline offering to take Finn off her hands.
Before Marceline could say anything, Bubblegum interjected.
"Actually nurse, there's another patient that needs help." She said before pointing at the broken Peppermint in the wheelbarrow.
"Oh glob…. And bring me some candy adhesive and prep another bed!" Dr. Princess said before calling to the rest of her staff.
The some of the staff stopped what they're doing to find said adhesive product before looked back to the group.
"Is there anyone else injured?, I saw Lava falling on that cloud and a lot of citizens got hit by it." Dr. Princess said when she looked the group over.
It turns out that some candy people got a little hurt from the lava but were still okay and walking.
"Alright, to those with burns follow me, I'll treat you while my staff continues their own thing." Dr. Princess said before looking to Marceline.
"Follow me your highness, you can set Finn on a bed before his own room is set up so you can take a bit to rest yourself, you seem a bit injured yourself from looking at the blood on your side." Dr. Princess said when she wanted to check on Marceline as well.
Said Vampire Queen was hesitant before speaking.
"Okay. But I want to stay by Finn's side after getting checked."
"No worries your highness, but only after I check you and check Finn to make sure you two are in good health, you and Princess bubblegum maybe royalty but in my hospital, my word is law to keep things running smoothly so I can make sure I heal people, mainly Finn right now, as best as I can, you can visit him after I patch him up." Dr. Princess said with a surprisingly determined look in her eyes while she looked at the two royals and looked them up and down when she saw some injuries on them.
"And is seems I'll need to patch you up as well Princess Bubblegum, could you follow Marceline and I'll be with you after I give the burn ointment to the citizens?" Dr. Princess said with a look that dared even the two royals to disagree with her.
"Alright then." Bubblegum said.
Marceline raised her eyebrow a bit after being looked by Dr. Princess before sighing.
"Okay, fine." She said before Dr. Princess nods before she spoke up.
"Thank you, please follow me, I'll have a bed moved out of an empty room that Finn can rest on near you so you won't worry for Finn, I maybe a doctor but I do show some mercy." Dr. Princess said with a smile to Marceline before she walked to the hospital after she called a couple staff members to follow her.
Marceline and Bubblegum follow Dr. Princess, while Marceline still carries Finn, before Marceline spoke.
"Thank you Doctor."
"No worries, now let's hurry since I want to check your side since again, you have blood on it, it could be yours or Finns and I want to be safe than sorry." Dr. Princess said before she led the group inside before time advanced to way later when the sun went down.
Ooo/ Candy Kingdom Hospital/ ?/ ?
The scene now shows Finn, with a new hat and shirt to replace the old ones, laid in a room while Marceline sat near him with a bandage wrapped around her side after Dr. Princess examined her and told her that the wound in her side confirmed what Simon said earlier… she had Sanguine Vampirism from the fangs from earlier, but to a much lesser extent than Finn's.
Marceline watches said unconscious hero before she starts thinking on what Finn said.
'Did Finn really say he loved me? Would it work out between us? I mean he is immortal now.' She thought before her eyes start to drift close while time went by a bit before she .
Meanwhile… in Finn's head…
Finn's mind/ ?/ ?
We see a slightly hazy dream like version of the grasslands with the treefort in the middle of it with the various lands and kingdoms of Ooo surrounding the place with the candy kingdom, the fire kingdom, and Marceline's home being the most focused.
The Camera centered on the treefort before it went into Finn's room to see Finn laying on the bed before a Male voice starts speaking up near the human.
"Finn… Finn…." The Voice repeats in an attempt to rouse the semi vampire from his slumber somewhat.
Said hero groans before opening his eyes a bit before speaking.
"*Groans*... W-What's going on?" He questioned before opening his eyes completely.
He saw the roof of his home which seemed... out of focus somewhat before he heard the voice speaking up again.
"Seems you're awake now boy." The Male voice said to Finn from where Jake's bed was.
Finn looked to Jake's bed before his eyes widen at who it was.
It looked like the Vampire King in a smaller form who sat on Jake's bed with a stoic look on his face while he looked at Finn.
"W-What are you doing here? Where's Jake, Bubblegum, and Marceline?" Finn questioned.
"Safe... you're in a dream like state and what you see is your astral plane in focus instead of being in disarray when you summoned those butterflies in the past… but I'm sure that's not the right answer you looking for is it?" The Vampire King asked before he fell back onto the bed, or at least he looked like he did before he appeared next to Finn at his full size from the other side of the bed.
Finn was shocked after seeing that before scooting back a few inches before speaking.
"Why are you in my head?"
"You tell me... what is the last thing you remember before you wound up here?" Vampire King asked when he looked Finn in the eyes with a stoic expression on his face.
Finn was confused before he tries remembering what happen.
"I remember… seeing Marceline get taken out of your body. And then… just when you were about to attack her, I came running to her rescue and got bitten by you. Then I blacked out after that." He said while more memories start coming back to him.
"Well to be exact it wasn't me in control but my vampiric essence that went out of control, without a host to control it, the vampiric essence went wild, and when it bit into you, it tasted your human blood and decided to make you it's new host for my powers since your human blood was more pure than Marceline's half demon blood, though thanks to a couple fangs piercing her side, she got a lesser strain of Sanguine Vampirism so she'll become a vampire sooner or later… congratulations, until you take a certain ritual in a certain place, you're the next Vampire King in training." The Vampire King said to Finn with a slightly amused look on his face.
Said human/Vampire King in training's eyes widen while his jaw dropped after hearing that.
The Vampire King waits a moment while getting a Stoic look on his face again before poking Finn's head to get a reaction from him.
Finn finally blinked his eyes before looking at the Vampire King.
"So… what will you do now that you know this?" Vampire king said to Finn since he was now the one who held his powers.
Finn took a moment to think before speaking up.
"Well it's pretty obvious that I have to learn how to master your powers. But what is this ritual that you speak of?"
"In simple term, it allows you full control of the abilities at their full power without losing control and to other Vampires, gives you aura of a higher ranked being in a sense, no real authority but just a feeling that you shouldn't be messed with by lower ranking vampires, wouldn't be interesting if you got destiny changing powers without earning them right?" Vampire King said while he waits for more questions.
Finn rubbed the back of his head before speaking.
"I guess. So I just have to show any Vampire who's the boss here?... But wait, the only other Vampires are only me and Marceline."
"In Ooo maybe, but did you think that Vampires would be wiped out by a single person without some kind of countermeasure in place?, I went to try and stop Marceline in the past since she was technically exterminating my kind, she maybe your friend but will she feel the same after knowing you hold my essence now?, She may become a vampire again, but she won't be as strong as she was even with the rest of my courts powers without me giving her power… as for your question… ask yourself this… have I ever lived in Ooo in the first place?... or did I come from another land with other Vampires that thrived alongside humans in a coexistence of sorts… no one knows when I got my court so it could be after I left that island." Vampire King cryptically said with a stoic look on his face.
Finn was shocked at the question before speaking.
"Wait, there are other humans on an island?"
"Well, there is another with only humans to be exact but they have a massive guardian robot that can defend the island against intruders and force the islanders back on the island if they try to leave, I could have taken it easily but I didn't want to deal with the aftermath… anyway I can tell you more later but you won't like what I have to tell you." Vampire king said with crossed arms.
Finn was shocked to hear that there were actually mores than he thought.
"Perhaps later… But you're wrong about Marceline. She won't kill me just because I have your essence." He said.
"Maybe at first she'll enjoy the fact that you're an immortal vampire like she is, but remember that you don't have full control of my powers yet… ask yourself this… what will you do if you stay here for a long time and you end up hurting people and Marceline is forced to stop you… or will you leave Ooo for a few years to gain full control of your powers?, you have the rest of eternity to yourself now after all." Vampire King said to Finn with a serious look in his eyes.
Finn took a moment to think. He hate to admit it, but the Vampire King did bring up a good point.
"Alright Vampire King, if I accidentally went out of control and hurt someone that I care… then I'll follow your advice and go to that island of humans and vampires to master my powers, deal?" He asked.
"While I agree for the most part, would you risk another's health?, and your powers if they go out of control could kill someone… I'll keep quiet about this for now but try and remember that the choice on staying and risking the life of others was yours and yours alone after I helped give you a way to prevent that." Vampire King said before the room starts to get hazier around the duo and Vampire King's form starts to blur to Finn.
Finn sees everything else diapering as he looks around.
"Well it seems you're waking up… I'll be watching you boy to see if you can really control your newly acquired powers or not… again… the choice is yours… don't wait until it's too late." Vampire King said before Finn wakes from his dream.
Reality/ Candy Kingdom Hospital/ Finn's room/ Finn, Marceline
Marceline was soundly asleep on her til she was woken up from some noise.
She opens her eye a bit to see what's going on… and to her shock… saw that Finn was sitting up after he opened his eyes to show blood red eyes for a moment which glowed brightly before the glow fades to reveal that the colored part of both his eyes turned blood red while he had an oddly calm look on his face… like he was thinking of something.
But his train of thought was interrupted when Marceline screamed his name.
"FINN!" She yells before wrapping her arms around Finn's neck before hugging him.
Finn blinked a few times when he seemed to snap out of whatever trance he was in before he blushed brightly when Marceline hugged him before he chuckles nervously while he wrapped an arm around her and lightly pats her back to make sure he didn't accidently hurt her since he had no idea what his increased strength was like.
Marceline then pulls back to look at Finn before she frowns and surprised him by slapping his cheek.
Finn blinked a few times from that before he looked to her with a bewildered look while it didn't seem like he was hurt by Marceline in the slightest.
"Uh… what was that for?" Finn asked while he felt that his cheek stung for a second before it healed.
Before answering, Marceline slapped Finn's other cheek before answer.
"You know full well why. You had me and everyone else worried sick for you." She said while tears starts to leak out.
Finn was about to say something but sighed when arguing would only get things worse.
"Look Marceline… I won't apologize since I would do it again in a heartbeat for you… like I said, my body moved on it's own and did what it did before my brain realized what happened but I don't regret it… you might not like that answer but I care for you too much to let you get harmed or killed in front of me." Finn said with an adamant look on his face… though he did have a slight blush on it when his red eyes looked into Marceline's eyes.
Marceline was surprised a bit at the answer before she surprised Finn by hugging him again before kissing his forehead.
Finn blushed at that before he looked to Marceline with a slightly confused look since he didn't expect that after getting slapped twice.
"Uh… I'm confused now… thought the slaps meant that you were angry with me." Finn said while he scratched his cheek for a moment with a finger.
Marceline continues to hug him before speaking up.
"I was angry. But also forget that being a hero is your duty. I was just so worried for you."
Finn chuckles a few times before he spoke up.
"How do you think I felt when you got launched out of that Vamp cloud?, I was running even before the guy turned to you to make sure your ok." Finn said when he placed a hand on her back and rubs her back in a calming way.
Marceline blushed bit before pulling away but still had her hands on Finn before speaking.
"Are feeling okay Finn?" She asked with a concerned tone.
"Well aside from that freaky dream with that Vampire King guy in it, I feel better than ever… but I feel really hungry for some reason." Finn said before he held his stomach when it made a loud growl while he got a half lidded look on his face when it was the loudest growl it ever made.
Marceline chuckled for a moment before her eyes widen a bit after hearing the first part before speaking.
"Whoa, wait a minute, did you say the Vampire King was in your dream?"
"Uh… yeah, he was small at first, than he grew to full size… like he was still alive in my head or something and could do things on his own in my dreams… I'm not 100% sure about that." Finn said while he rubbed his head for a moment when he thought back to the Vampire King's actions in his head.
Marceline was surprised to hear that before speaking.
"Did he say anything?"
"Well… it's a bit complicated but apparently he said that I have his powers but I'm not in full control of them unless I take a ritual from where he originally came from to get them under control, apparently he once lived on an island that had both vampires and humans in harmony or something before he left for Ooo to meet with you since you nearly killed all of the vamps in Ooo… I would have just not believed him but he seemed serious about it and he even told me why his vampire stuff did what it did in it's cloudy form." Finn said to Marceline when he tried to fill her in.
Marceline was shocked to hear that before speaking up.
"Do you believe him?"
"Hmmm… hard to say since he did give himself up and allowed us to de-vamp him and he didn't bite my bod when he had me in his hand… some of the stuff that he said did make some sense… even if he was odd about some of the stuff he said… he also told me that unless I leave Ooo for a few years to get these powers under control…then I could harm or kill someone by accident… I… honestly don't know what to do since I don't want to leave but I don't want to harm anyone…I don't know what to do since I saw him do some impressive stuff when you two fought and if I tried something like that, I could wind up hurting someone I care about or even an innocent person." Finn said with a greatly worried look near the end since he saw what the Vampire King did with the water and how he took Marceline's punch easily.
Marceline can see how worried Finn was before she gave him another hug before speaking.
"Don't worry weenie. I'm here for you. I can help you by teaching you how to and if anything else happens… I'll come with you."
Finn blinked a few times before he spoke up.
"Uhhh… that might not be a good idea, I'm not sure about now but he said something about the island being some kind of countermeasure since you were on a vamp hunting spree back then for that island." Finn said with a worried tone and look in his eyes.
Marceline chuckles before speaking.
"Please Finn, I don't think those guys can try anything with me. Besides I gotta help toughen you up if they try to attack."
"More like avoid you when they sense your power." A familar voice said in Finn's mind which made him jolt before he looked around before seeing the Vampire King with crossed arms while he leaned against the wall… but for some reason Marceline didn't notice him.
"What the…" Finn said when he blinked a few times at the Vampire King who had a stoic look on his face.
Marceline blinked a few times before speaking.
"Uhhh… something wrong Finn?"
"Uhhh… not sure… did I get a head injury or something… cause I'm seeing the Vampire King leaning against the wall behind you… but he should be a lion right?" Finn said with a worried tone when he felt his head for a possible bump or lasting injury.
Marceline looked back for a few seconds before looking back at Finn.
"I don't see him."
"Uh… did any of the Vampires you adsorbed say anything to you in the past?" Finn asked with a worried look while the Vampire king walked to the door before holding up three fingers and counted down to one before the door opened to reveal Dr. Princess to Finn's shock since he didn't expect that.
Said Doctor was surprised to see Finn up before speaking.
"Finn, you're up. How are you feeling?"
"Uh… maybe better if I get a head exam… I… saw the Vampire King walking to the door while he held up three fingers before he counted down… right before you entered like he knew you were coming." Finn said while he got really confused while he continues to hold his head while his eyes glow a little in the dark room while the Vampire King chuckles while he watched what was going on.
Dr. Princess didn't know how to respond to that before speaking up.
"Well… I'm not sure about that. But we did check and your head seems to be fine. You probably just need to eat something since you've been asleep for at least 8 hours."
Finn nods but he froze for a second when he saw Dr. Princess's neck and when he realized what was going on, he actually slugged himself in the face to snap him out of what was going on before speaking.
"Uh Marceline… please hurry and tell me what I can eat… please tell me since… Ugh!" Finn said before he crouched forward before his stomach growls loudly while his eyes start to haze over when he looked to Dr. Princess again… but he tore his gaze away while he continued to fight his growing hunger while he groans through the stomach pains.
Marceline realized what was going on before hugging Finn tight.
She looks at the Dr. Princess before screaming.
"HE NEEDS SOMETHING RED NOW!"
Dr. Princess acknowledges it before she runs out of the room to find anything red before a couple minutes pass.
Finn in the meantime hunched forward more before he barely spoke up.
"What…t-the FLIP!" Finn groans out before yelling when he actually clawed his sides a little when he held them tightly when the pain in his stomach grew more.
Marceline continues to hold him while wondering what's taking Dr. Princess so long.
It was only a minute or so before said doctor came back in the room while panting before she brought a couple of jelly filled doughnuts.
"Here." Dr. Princess said before handing Finn one with a hand outstretched near Finn.
Finn however didn't seem to register her but he did seem to smell something that made his mouth water before he looked up with eyes that lightly glowed before he hunched back down when the hunger grew stronger.
"GUH-UGH!" Finn groans out before his hand shot out with surprising speed before it latched on Dr. Princess's arm with an iron grip while Finn's eyes grew brighter in redness... but with a will that would impress a lot of people… let go of Dr. Princess before he held his sides tightly while the Vampire king watched what was going on with a slightly impressed look from Finn's restraint from trying to feed on the doctor.
Marceline and Dr. Princess was surprised at what Finn almost did before feeling impressed from his restraint.
Finally Dr. Princess spoke.
"Okay, Finn? If you can hear me, open your mouth."
Finn barely heard her before he slowly opened his mouth while his fangs seemed sharper than before while he let out a groan when his stomach growled even louder which echoed down the hall.
Dr. Princess carefully brought the doughnut to Finn's fangs before speaking.
"Now bite it."
Finn did as told which caused his fanged teeth to snap into the jelly donut with surprising force which made a snapping sound before he starts to chew like a madman while he didn't care if he was messy right now… whatever was in front of Finn was like water from a desert oasis but… seemed weak compared to the stronger scent that was nearby.
Dr. Princess then carefully brought the second doughnut to Finn hoping he takes it.
Thankfully for the doctor, he did take it but not before he quickly gripped her wrist with one hand with an iron grip again and held her there while he quickly ate the donut with another hand when he snatched it from Dr. Princess's hand… before he turned his eyes to her when his eyes seemed to still glow which seemed to blink again when he fought with himself again when it looked like the donuts helped… but it didn't seem enough for Finn right now.
Marceline was surprised to see Finn devouring those donuts but was more shocked to see that they weren't enough.
Dr. Princess had a feeling about that before she yelled out to call someone.
"Nurse Pound Cake! Bring in the basket!"
Nurse Poundcake did rush in after a moment before her eyes widen at the state that Finn was in before she pulled out an apple before she threw it at Finn which conked him in the head and caused him to let Dr. Princess go before Nurse pound cake threw another with surprising aim which crashed into his mouth… it didn't hurt Finn's teeth but the apple did get lodged into it before the color of the apple drained in an instant before he starts devouring the apple.
Marceline was surprised at first after seeing the nurse throw the first apple while hoping the second apple helps.
It did somewhat when Finn's eyes had some clarity but Finn's eyes still looked unfocused somewhat before he looked to Nurse poundcake… but when he didn't smell the scent he smelled earlier… he starts looking around before his gaze locked onto Dr. Princess again… right before Nurse poundcake tossed another apple which conked Finn on the head which made him look to her before another apple was shot into his mouth… who knew that Nurse Poundcake had one hell of an arm on her.
Marceline and Dr. Princess were shocked and impressed with Nurse Pound Cake's throws.
Finn devoured the apple before his eyes cleared more before he starts panting when his head slouched over before he surprisingly spoke up.
"O-Oh glob… what… is… happening…." Finn said while he still had a slight glow in his eyes but he seemed to be in control now.
Marceline sighed in relief before hugging Finn a little tight.
"Finn… you were getting hungry… and well… you were thinking of feeding on Dr. Princess." She said which made Finn's eyes widen before he felt regretful.
"Oh glob… it's like that time with you and Jake when I got that gem in that cave… now I get why you tried to drink his blood… sorry Dr. Princess… I…" Finn said with a really regretful tone in his voice.
Marceline rubs his back before speaking.
"Shhh… it's okay Finn. You weren't in control but you did put some restraint in the beginning. Don't worry. I'm here for you."
"And why didn't you restrain him then?, you said he had some restraint at first right?, why not do it than before I got called in here, Dr. Princess could have a serious injury if it's not just a bruise on her wrist." Nurse Poundcake said with an angered tone at Marceline while she looked like she was ready to throw another apple at her.
Marceline glared at the Nurse before Dr. Princess interjected.
"That's enough! Nurse Pound Cake, while I appreciate your concerns, you should also remember what Finn went through to save all of us. He needs to understand how to control what he has."
"With all due respect and I do respect you alot Dr. Princess since you're one of the best when it comes to medicine and I'm not blaming Finn since I did hear about what he did and this is his first day awake as a vampire after he was knocked out without any food for 8 hours, but Marceline is one who is the vampire expert since she was one for so many years… I'm not trying to insult her but what if I missed or what if the apples didn't work… they maybe what ifs, but they are very scary possibilities that could have happened right now, and who do you think would regret it the most?, cause personally I think it would have been Finn since he would have harmed you without me getting in the way." Nurse poundcake said with a glare towards Marceline before she sets the apples on the bed before she turned to the door.
"Enjoy the apples Finn, they're from Tree Trunks's orchard, they got here recently when she brought a lot after hearing of your condition." Nurse poundcake said to Finn before she exits with an angered look on her face while Finn looks to his hand with a regretful look on his face.
"I… I…." Finn repeats when he had trouble with his next words.
Marceline was upset at what Nurse Pound Cake said before focusing her attention on Finn.
Dr. Princess sighs before speaking.
"Listen Finn, it's not your fault. We weren't prepared for this. But I'm okay. I'm not angry with you or Marceline."
"I… I know but she's right, if she did miss… I could have hurt you easily… she's right about the what if part… I mean… what about your wrist?, I feel like I can break anything easily and I can't control my strength." Finn said with a worried tone when he looked at Dr. Princess's wrist.
That's when Marceline spoke.
"Finn that's what happen when you didn't have anything to eat while sleeping. That's what happened to me when Jake took all my red. I tried to fight back, but my hunger got stronger. I was afraid of eating you both if Bonnibel hadn't arrive at that moment."
"Y-Yeah but you were tied up and stuff, I was practically free to do whatever…" Finn said while he clinched his hand a few times to test the grip strength.
"Regardless Finn, Dr. Princess is okay and so are you." Marceline said before kissing Finn's cheek.
"Maybe… but… still… c-could… ugh…." Finn said when he tried to think of something to calm himself down when his mind just wouldn't let him let this go.
Marceline hugs Finn before speaking.
"Shhh, it's gonna be okay Finn." She said before rubbing his back in a soothing motion.
It seemed to work for the most part when Finn seemed to visibly calm before he spoke up.
"Still Dr. Princess… I'm supposed to be a hero and I still nearly hurt you and I have to say sorry for that… is there anything I can do to make it up to you for that?" Finn asked with a calmer, but slightly worried tone when he looked to Dr. Princess.
Said Doctor looked at Finn before speaking.
"Finn I don't want you to worry about that. It was an accident. The only thing I want you to do is to continue being Ooo's greatest hero. I know you'll overcome this Finn. We believe in you."
Finn was silent at that before he nods to Dr. Princess, but it looked like he was still thinking about things if the expression on his face was any indication.
Dr. Princess gave him a caring smile before speaking.
"Everything will be okay Finn."
"I hope so…" Finn said before he spoke up.
"So… what now?... I feel awake after what happened and I don't feel tired." Finn said when he looked around before he raised an eyebrow.
"I get the windowless room, but what time is it now?" Finn asked when he looked for a clock to see what time it was.
"It's 9 pm." Dr. Princess said.
"Wow… am I a nocturnal guy now since I can't go in sunlight for now or is there a way to walk around during the day?, like a spell or something that I could learn?, I mean the vampire king wasn't found until he let us find him, Marceline, did the Vampire king have anything like that?" Finn asked when he looked to Marceline for vampire help.
Marceline took a moment to think before speaking.
"Not that I know of. But try getting up first." She said to the Vampire King in training.
"She's lying Finn." Vampire King said with an amused tone which caused Finn to look to him with an angered look before Vampire King spoke up.
"Ask her if I used a special room to hide from the sun… she entered a doorway that was invisible to her." Vampire King said with an amused tone in his voice before Finn looked to Marceline with a raised eyebrow.
"The mental vamp king said that you're lying Marcy, something about some kind of invisible door to some kind of special room or something but that seems bunk right?" Finn said after he passed the message along while he believed that Marceline was telling the truth.
Marceline facepalm before speaking.
"No Finn, he's right. I forgot about that."
"Oh… well can you do that or is it just him or me now since I got his powers?" Finn asked with a curious look in his eyes.
Marceline shook her head before speaking.
"Sorry Finn, but only you and him can do it."
"Oh… well… what can I do exactly now?" Finn asked with a raised eyebrow when he tried to think of something.
"Well you have flight, super strength, healing factor and I think elemental manipulation since the Vampire King did that with those clouds and water." Marceline said as she counted each one.
"Whoa… anymore or was that it?" Finn asked with a half curious/worried tone so he wouldn't get surprised later.
"Well unless mental VK has anything to say… that's all I can think of." Marceline said before Vampire King spoke up.
"Oh there's more, like Telekinesis that your dog like brother can attest to… he must have thought I couldn't sniff him out back then." Vampire King said which made Finn blink a few times.
"Uh… he just said something about Tele… teleken… uh… what was it called again… you can move things with your mind power or something?, and more." Finn asked when he had a tough time remembering the name.
"Telekinesis?" Marceline asked which made Finn smile before he nods.
"Yeah, Telekinesis, he said Jake can vouch for this since he sniffed him out earlier." Finn said with a slightly excited look in his eye from learning more.
Marceline looked at Finn before speaking.
"Hold on Finn I thought you had telekinesis. Didn't you told me about that one time when you made that tower to space?"
"Yeah but that was because of my messed up junky business with my own dad, but apparently Bubblegum fixed that when she caused me to get some closer of sorts by disguising as him… that… I really don't want to talk about since I… kinda attacked her when I didn't know it was her at the time." Finn admits with a embarrassed/ regretful tone.
Marceline was surprised to hear that before speaking.
"I'm sorry Finn I didn't know that."
"Eh no worries, Bubblegum and I managed to patch things up before it could get out of hand, lost the tele… tele… moving things ability but it looks like I got a different version I can use again… though I have no idea how to do that." Finn said while he tilts his head to the side since the last time he did it, it was with some kind of anger backing him.
Marceline then grabbed Finn's hand and gave him a caring smile before speaking.
"Well remember Finn, I'm here for you." She said in a caring tone which made Finn rub the back of his head while he blushed a bit before speaking up.
"Thanks Marcy, I guess it's one step at a time, anyway… what do we do right now… I'm not sure what to do right now since I guess I can't move around during the day now." Finn said while he wondered what to do now.
Marceline giggled before speaking.
"Well first we should get you some food. I mean are you still hungry?" She asked.
"Sorta, I still feel hungry but I think I had enough apples, their good but I'd like to get something different, do I still need to eat red things or can I eat anything and it helps?" Finn asked since he never seen Marceline toss away any of the red stuff she drained, passed it sometimes to others sure but she normally didn't waste food.
Marceline chuckled before speaking.
"Red is when you get really hungry. Everything else is okay. Except garlic."
"Ah… you know I am wondering, why can't vampires eat garlic again?" Finn said when he turned to hang his legs off the bed and got ready to get up.
Marceline got up as well just in case to help before speaking.
"Well it's hard to explain but it carries a strong odor and the taste of it prevents us from eating it. I don't think I've seen any vampire eating those."
"Huh… well I'll avoid Garlic than if I can." Finn said before he hopped from the bed… but didn't land before he starts spinning around in the air with a shocked look on his face.
"W-Whoa!" Finn said when he starts to spin around the room when he got surprised greatly from floating above the ground.
Marceline was surprised before she got a hold of Finn's hands.
"Whoa there hero. You okay?"
"Y-Yeah… just really surprised… thought I would land on my feet, not spin like a wheel in the air." Finn said with a wobbly tone in his voice while he was a bit dizzy from what just happened which showed to the two women in the room when he had a unfocused funny looking look on his face.
Marceline and Dr. Princess giggled a bit before Marceline spoke up.
"Can you try to get down?"
"Uh… after I stop seeing multiple Marceline's and Dr. Princess's I will." Finn slurred out while he used a hand to hold his head when his vision returned to normal when a minute passed before he tried to set his feet on the ground but failed a few times when it looked like he was now dancing in the air which was funny to see while he got a frustrated look on his face.
Marceline giggled before speaking.
"Don't worry Finn, you get the hang of it. For now I'll help you get to the cafeteria okay?"
"T-Thanks and sorry… I seem to have trouble with a lot of things right now, aside from nearly harming Dr. Princess here, I still don't regret taking that hit for you." Finn said when he was still adamant about that when he let go of Marceline for a moment to see if he could balance himself… he wobbled a bit before he seemed to succeed with a grin on his face… though it still looked like he was wobbling somewhat.
Marceline and Dr. Princess were surprised at first before Marceline grabbed Finn's shoulder before speaking up.
"I know you don't Finn. I was just worried for you. But thank you." She said before kissing his cheek.
Finn blushed brightly at that since he really did not expect that before he starts to stutter and make odd motions with his hands when he tried to say something.
Unfortunately for Finn, he accidently brushed Marceline's hand on his shoulder which caused him to knock her hand off which in turn caused him to spin in the air again comically before he starts screaming lightly when he got dizzy again.
Marceline once again grabbed Finn's hands to help him stop spinning.
Finn looked dizzy again before he shook his head a few times before speaking up.
"S-Sorry… didn't expect that… and… well… I guess I can get a job making people laugh at some things I can do now… hehe." Finn nervously said he had a bright blush on his face.
Marceline giggled before speaking.
"Like you said Finn, baby steps. Now want me to take you to the cafeteria?" She asked while making sure not to let got of him.
"Hehe, thanks… uh… mind if I try floating to the door on my own?, is there some kind of feeling you get to do that or is it just natural?" Finn asked when he wanted to try and least moving a little on his own for a moment.
Marceline smirk before speaking.
"You sure Finn? I think you did enough spinning around."
"Uh… hehe… yeah…can you lead the way?" Finn nervously said when he still had his hands holding Marcelines.
Marceline chuckled before speaking.
"Sure thing hero." She said before let go one of Finn's hands before head to the door while Finn was nervously dragged along when he wobbles in the air.
Dr. Princess shook her head at what's been happening before she pulls out her cell phone to call Princess Bubblegum and Jake to let them know about Finn.
Ooo/ Candy Kingdom Hospital cafeteria/ Finn, Marceline
Once exiting Finn's room, the duo head straight to the cafeteria while the Vampire king followed the duo with some amusement on his face which made Finn blush a bit more in embarrassment since he was technically with two high level vampires, even if he was one now, he was untrained.
The Duo than found themselves in the cafeteria while some citizens were eating in various spots before a few noticed Finn and Marceline before some of them looked surprised to see Finn floating while some waved to him… while a few looked like they were whispering to one another with worried looks on their faces.
Marceline raised her eyebrow from that before she brought Finn to an empty table before speaking.
"Okay Finn, try grabbing onto the table and try to sit in the chair." She said before bringing FInn's hand to the edge of the table.
Finn nods before he tried to pull himself down, it seemed to work for a second, but when he got over the chair and sat on it, it looked like he floated upward and his legs hit the underside of the table… he was sitting in a sense but…
Finn chuckles nervously at the state he was in before he tries to lower himself a few times… and got the same result that made him put his head down when he felt a bit bummed that he couldn't even sit right, he was on a bed recently so what made this different?
Marceline was worried for the Vampire King in training before speaking.
"You okay Finn?"
"Well I'm not spinning so that's a start, but I was on a bed fully so why can't I sit like normal… is there something I'm missing or did I do something wrong and I'm stuck like this now?" Finn asked with a worried tone when he moved his hand down under him to not feel a chair.
Marceline brought her hand to Finn's cheek before speaking.
"You did nothing wrong hero. Probably when you woke up, your powers kicked in."
"Hope I can at least get the floating power under some control soon, I don't want to have to get a rope or something so I don't float away while I nap." Finn said while he thought he was like a balloon now.
Marceline giggled at the idea while rubbing Finn's cheek before speaking.
"Don't worry Finn. I don't think it'll last long."
Finn blushed a bit again before he looked to her with a curious look on his face.
"Did you ever have any trouble when you first got your powers?" Finn asked when he remembered that Marceline absorbed the court and he thought she did it before since they had some history with her.
Marceline rubbed the back of her head before speaking.
"Well I did at first. But I took time to understand the powers I absorbed while hunting the Vampire King and his court."
"Guess you really are a radical dame since you had to master multiple vampires powers but I'm having trouble just sitting, got any tips to help with this?" Finn said with no embarrassment whatsoever when he tried to force himself back in the chair before he floats back up and hit the table again.
Marceline blushed a bit at radical dame comment before speaking.
"Well the only thing you have to do is concentrate on not floating."
Finn nods before he tried to do just that after he closed his eyes.
"Ok… not floating, be like a rock or something heav-!" Finn thought before he fell onto the chair before he could finish that thought and bounced to crash into the table with a groan.
Marceline was surprised to see that before speaking.
"Finn are you okay?" She asked with a concerned tone.
"Ugh… sorta… I just thought to be heavy like a rock and… ow…." Finn muttered when he pushed himself into the seat with a slightly dazed look on his face while he held his head.
Marceline giggled a bit before kissing Finn's forehead to see if it helps.
Finn blushed a bit before he starts to float again when he felt his stomach flutter which made him blush more when he realized by some miracle that even his powers were affected by his emotions before he quickly decided to brace himself when he thought like a rock again and fell onto the chair again while he prayed to Glob that Marceline wouldn't notice.
Unfortunately for the Vampire King in training, Marceline did noticed it but decided to tease Finn a bit.
"Good job hero. Now while I get your food, make sure to keep thinking like a rock. Nothing else. Unless of course you want to think about me." She said with a wink.
Finn blush brightly before he set his face on the cool table while he muttered rapidly about rocks and such.
Marceline giggled before she went to go get some food for him while Finn sighed with some relief while he focused on thinking like a rock still before the Vampire king spoke up from his side.
"Interesting to see Marceline act like this for once, than again she is normally hostile from what I heard." Vampire king said which made Finn frown.
"Maybe in the past, but she chilled greatly and she's a radical dame to me no matter what." Finn said before the Vampire king raised an eyebrow at Finn.
"And yet you still have feelings for two others alongside Marceline, seems like you have a harder time letting go of the past that she can." Vampire King said which made Finn blush greatly while he kept silent for a moment.
Suddenly you hear two doors opened before the hero heard a familiar shout.
"FINN!"
Finn blinked a few times before he and Vampire king looked to their right to see a familiar yellow dog charging their way with Bubblegum following at a slower pace… right before Jake did a flying tackle to Finn and went through the mental Vampire king before he and Finn got knocked off the chair before they start spinning in the air with Finn losing control again.
"OH GLOB NOT AGAIN!" Finn yelled out while he his grip slipped from Jake who got tossed into the air and he lands on the table before Finn starts to bounce around the room like a pinball when the force of Jake slipping caused him to move a little which spiraled out of control.
Bubblegum got into action before she tries to get Finn.
Just then, Marceline got back with some food before her eyes widen in shock at what's going on.
"What just happened?" She asked before Bubblegum spoke up when she tried to catch Finn who came her way, but she missed by a hair.
"Ask Jake, he tackled Finn with a flying hug and this happened, I heard from Dr. Princess about his condition but I didn't expect this!" Bubblegum said when she tried to catch Finn again when he flew by her.
Marceline shook her head before speaking.
"Finn! If you can hear me, just think of rocks!" She yelled before Finn called back after a few bounces.
"Ri-*OW*-GHT!" Finn called back after he hit a wall… unfortunately he thought of it when he flew over Bubblegum and he shot to her like a missile with a wide eyed look on his face before he tackled her in the gut.
Bubblegum's eyes popped out in a comical matter before some air escaped her mouth.
Everyone else in the cafeteria groaned and cringed after seeing that right before the two crashed slightly under a table with a pile of dishes on top before everyone saw the duo in a really suggestive position when Finn was over Bubblegum while his face was near hers which made Finn blush brightly when he saw how close he was to her face.
Jake gasped at what he saw while Marceline's eyes widen before feeling something she hasn't felt in a while.
Bubblegum regained conscious before her face blushed brightly as she saw how close Finn was.
Finn stutters a bit before he spoke up somewhat while he floats upward.
"O-Oh glob sorry PB bu-!" Finn tried to say but hit his head on the underside of the table which made him fall back to be over Bubblegum before he held himself steady while he tried to recover… and thanks to his dazed state, didn't notice a large bowl of food wobbling over the duo… to be more exact… over the back of Finn's head.
Everyone's eyes widen as they saw what was happening right before the bowl fell and smashed into the back of Finn's poor, poor head, and by some kind of comedic law, his lips smashed lightly into Bubblegum's while he was dazed further if the look in his eye's was anything to go by.
Bubblegum's eyes widen with shock after feeling that.
Jake gasped again after seeing that while Marceline stood there like a statue while the same feeling she had before returned but this she knew what it was... Pure jealousy.
'Why is it bothering me? It was a simple accident.' She thought before Finn's body moved up a bit while he saw stars in his vision before he spoke up… or slurred out a blush inducing though.
"Oooohhh tasty, tasty… can I get seconds?" Finn slurred out before he fell onto his back away from Bubblegum while he continued to see stars while everyone in the room sweatdrops since they had no idea what just happen.
Marceline finally put the food on the table before she walked over to Bubblegum.
"You okay Bonnibel?" She asked before helping her up.
Bubblegum was silent while she still had a slight blush on her face from the accidental kiss… I mean anyone would be surprised from that while Finn twitched a bit on the ground while he slowly recovered.
"Uhh… mind asking me that in a minute?" Bubblegum said while she touched her lips.
Marceline raised her eyebrow before she went to Finn's side and checked to see if he's okay.
Fortunately he was coming to thanks to the regeneration fixing his skull quickly before he sat up on the ground.
"Ohhhh… what happened?, last thing I remember was hearing Jake calling me than everything is a literal blur before I wound up here." Finn asked while he rubbed his head since he was still trying to get his bearings.
Marceline shook her head before speaking.
"Well according to Bonnibel, you lost your focus after Jake went to tackle you and spun around the room a lot. I told you to think about rocks again and it worked… though you fell and Bonnibel. And then some bowl fell on the back of your head causing you to… kiss Bonnibel before you passed out." She explained while not liking the kiss part.
Finn's newly colored red eyes widen to the size of dinner plates while the Vampire King chuckled a few times, but Finn ignored him by jumping to his feet while muttering about heavy like a rock before he spoke up.
"Oh Glob PB, I'm so sorry, oh man…. This is like Dr. Princess again but not as scary." Finn said with a worried tone again when he couldn't control things again… what was he, some kind of magnet for bad luck or something?... did he do something in one of his past lives that caused some kind of karma to make fun or mess with him?
Marceline sees the worried look in Finn's eyes before speaking.
"Relax weeny. It wasn't your fault. That one's on Jake." She said bluntly.
Said canine was shocked to hear that before speaking.
"Wait, what?"
"Maybe but I got that Vampire King talking to me in my head, I nearly bit Dr. Princess because of my hunger from being knocked out, and Jake starting it or not, I was technically forced onto PB, from what I can see, it seems Glob is messing with me or something… what the flip!, I mean did you go through anything like this so soon after you got vamped!?" Finn yelled with a more worried tone when these incidents just kept coming at him one after the other.
Marceline was surprised a bit from the yelling.
Bubblegum finally got out of her daze after hearing what Finn said before speaking.
"Finn?" She called which caused Finn to blink a few times when he heard her voice before he looked to Bubblegum with a worried tone.
"Oh Glob, knowing my luck right now, you're probably flipping mad." Finn muttered when he starts shaking a bit to some shock since Finn never really did that and he did remember the too young thing…he had a lot of issues so it seemed understandable.
The Candy Monarch was worried about Finn before she surprised the hero by hugging him.
Finn for a rare time in his life was shocked silent before he looked to Bubblegum when he tried to form words, but failed greatly.
Marceline was feeling a bit jealous as she wished to hug Finn as well.
Bubblegum continues to hug Finn before speaking.
"It's okay Finn. It was just an accident."
"Y-Yeah, but that's just it, accident after accident after I woke up just nearly an hour ago!, I crashed around the place and could have harmed some citizens, I could have harmed you with that tackle, and Dr. Princess may have accepted my apology but I nearly attacked her… I mean what's next!?, for all I know, just pushing on the door to leave could break it off it's hinges and hit a gumball guardian, I mean that Vampire king was strong and I got his powers… and I can't control them right?… Marceline might be willing to teach me but I can't be a hero like this!" Finn said with a worried tone when he didn't return the hug since he worried about harming Bubblegum with a simple gesture.
Everyone was shocked to hear that before Marceline spoke.
"Don't say that Finn. You have overcome many obstacles. I know you can overcome this. You are great hero Finn. You're my… hero." She said while muttering that last part.
Finn blushed a bit from that as well before he frowned.
"But can I do it anytime soon?... I mean even if I train, knowing our luck something could happen right now and what can I do to help?... I would harm someone before I could protect them." Finn said while he looked to Marceline with a greatly worried look when his conscious kept making him feel bad.
Bubblegum pulled back a bit before speaking.
"Finn, I know how worried you are, but me and Marceline will do whatever we can to help you."
"How?" Finn asked when he looked to Bubblegum with a worried expression on his face.
"We can find a nice secluded area where there's no sign of any village or town. That way no one gets hurt and it'll just be you, me, Marceline and Jake." Bubblegum suggested.
"Hmhmhm, I wonder if she brought the dog's name up willingly, interesting memories and thoughts you have boy." Vampire King said with an amused tone which made Finn blush like a tomato when he looked to where the king sat… while he did the bunny ear thing behind Marceline's head… seems he relaxed more or something while he looked around in Finn's head.
Marceline noticed the blush before speaking.
"Something on your mind Finny?"
"Uhhh… aside from the Mental Vampire king saying some things and doing bunny ears to you and seeming to be relaxed in my head since he's doing that… not much." Finn said with honesty since this situation unnerved him to the point that he wasn't able to hide much of his thoughts right now.
Marceline raised her eyebrow after hearing that before speaking.
"So what do you think Finn?, wanna try Bonnibel's idea?"
"Uh… sure…" Finn said while he tried to smile a bit but it seemed a bit strained right now.
Bubblegum gave Finn another hug before speaking.
"Don't worry everything will be okay." She said in a caring tone.
Finn looked down to her with a slight blush on his face while he rubbed the back of his head when he starts to remember the kiss somewhat thanks to the Vampire king, who wanted to mess with Finn a little, who sent him the memory from his point of view… which showed the suggestive position and what Bubblegum's expression was like aside from shock or surprise.
Marceline then approached the duo before she brought her hand to Finn's shoulder before speaking.
"Do you need anything Finn?"
"Uh… I think I was sitting at the table while you went for food or something, or did I get a concussion or something and imagined that for a moment?" Finn said with a slightly confused tone while he rubbed his head again since he was getting spun around or hit on the head a bit lately.
Marceline smiled at him before speaking.
"You look fine to me Finn. Also I did get you food."
Finn smiles a little which actually seemed relaxed before he spoke to her.
"Thanks Marcy, I'm kind of wondering who's the person in need of help and who the hero is right now with you being this nice." Finn said with honesty in his voice when he tried to compliment Marceline.
Said Vampire Queen giggled before speaking.
"You were always there for me Finn." She said before kissing his cheek.
Finn blushed like a tomato again before Bubblegum blinked at that before she spoke up.
"Uh… did I miss something in the last 8 hours or are you two dating now?, Marceline you seem… more friendlier with Finn and I've only been here for about 8 minutes or so." Bubblegum said when she felt… off right now which confused even her a bit when she saw Marceline kissing Finn's cheek.
Jake was shocked at Marceline's action but was chuckling at his bro's reaction.
Marceline smirked at Bubblegum before she surprised the candy monarch and Finn by wrapping her arms around him before speaking.
"Just letting him know that I'll always be there for him. Are you jealous if we did date?" She asked.
Bubblegum blinked a few times before she raised an eyebrow while she felt that feeling again but a question bugged her.
"You two dated?, when did that happen?" Bubblegum asked since she never saw the two together on a date together.
That's when Marceline started laughing.
"HAHAHA! I can't believe you fell for that."
Bubblegum then got a half lidded look on her face before she tapped Marceline a few times to get her attention before she points at Finn who had his head down again and looked really depressed.
Marceline's eyes widen before speaking.
"What's wrong Finn?"
Bubblegum sighed before she spoke up after she actually gripped Marceline's ear like she was about to have a serious talk with her before she spoke up.
"Excuse us for a moment." Bubblegum said when she dragged Marceline away with surprising finger strength.
"Owowow… Easy with the ear." Marceline groaned.
Bubblegum ignored her for a moment when she pulled Marceline to the other end of the room out of Finn and Jake's ear shot before she spoke up.
"Before I get onto you for what just happened, you do realize that Finn has a lot of issues with relationships right?, granted I was one of them, but that was from an age difference years ago." Bubblegum admits with a slightly guilty tone in her voice.
"Yeah I know all about that." Marceline said before crossing her arms.
Bubblegum frowned before she spoke up.
"Don't try to judge me on this one Marceline, I heard about that wolf thing you did to me when a few candy citizens spotted you messing with Finn mentally, I even heard about that flipping bard stuff, again your idea, honestly I wonder who the kid was at the time, the one following orders or the one making them." Bubblegum said with a slightly angered tone when she remembered having to go to the candy hospital after that.
Marceline sighs before speaking.
"Look Bonnibel, I'm sorry abo-!" Marceline tried to say before Bubblegum covered her mouth and looked at her with… raw anger.
"Don't say anything and listen right now alright?" Bubblegum said with a look that dared Marceline to argue with her.
Marceline frowned at her before nodding her head.
Bubblegum took a moment before she removed her hand before speaking up.
"Sorry but out of everyone here, you should be the one who understands Finn the most, he had a breakup with Flame princess like you did with Ash and he messed up a possible second chance with her like Ash Royally did with you, now I'm not comparing him to a certain donk who I would love nothing more to… let's say make very painful experiments on, but you have to admit that Finn causing her and Ice king to fight must have made you angry right?, I'm not just saying this for no reason and I do have a point to make with all of this but I'm trying to get you to realize that Finn has had one messed up relationship after another and while I know my mistakes in the past and I feel guilty for the most part… but do you?... even you have to admit that you did some pretty jacked up things to mess with a already messed up Finn." Bubblegum said with a tone that showed that Marceline couldn't scare her even if she tried.
Marceline did took a moment to let the info sink in before putting her head down.
"You're right." She said before she decided to leave.
Bubblegum however gripped her wrist before she spoke up.
"Look, I'm not trying to make you feel guilty for what you did, but help you realize why Finn acted the way he did just now, try and look at it from his point of view, he messed up one relationship after another with multiple women and between you and me, I think he's starting to give up on any chance on a relationship at all with the way things are going…I have a deal to make with you but you have to promise to hear me out… understand?" Bubblegum said to Marceline with a serious look in her eyes.
Marceline took a moment to think before speaking.
"I'm listening." She said while still not facing her which made Bubblegum sigh before she spoke up.
"I don't even know how to sugar coat this and I'm a candy princess… but simply put… if your willing... And if Finn is willing later…do you… want to share him?" Bubblegum of all people asked with a slight blush on her face but she still looked serious.
Hearing that made Marceline's eyes widen in shock before looking at Bubblegum.
"S-Seriously?" She asked while blushing a little.
"I'm as surprised as you are but with what we both did, it might take more than one of us to help Finn with his issues... I mean can you deal with Finn's issues all on your own with your issues as well?" Bubblegum asked with a serious tone.
Marceline took a moment to think before speaking.
"Okay you have a point. I'll listen to what you have to say. I don't want to see the kid feeling down."
Bubblegum smirked a bit before she spoke up.
"It would be wrong to call him a kid now after all that happened, and isn't he like 17 or 18 now?, It was never fully told on what age he really is as far as we know." Bubblegum said to Marceline with a smile.
Marceline smiled back before speaking.
"That's true. So what's the condition?"
"Well aside from obviously taking things slow so Finn can adjust, we have to make sure we don't have other women to deal with if they try and get back with Finn… remember he's around 18 now and not only that but he's also the current Vampire king now, even if he's untrained he is now a lot more powerful than some of us here, and I'm sure some ladies won't care if he's rich or poor after what I read from a few medical reports on Finn before he changed." Bubblegum said while she blushed near the end… like she knew something scandalous.
Marceline hadn't thought about about the other girls before she had a curious look after hearing that last part.
"What was in his medical report?"
"Well… he had a medical health exam by a few male nurses to make sure there was no mutations when he was 16 after all of his adventures and the report went… into graphic detail when things went… south… and what he had could be a mutation… that could be even more enhanced after his vampire transformation." Bubblebum said with a blush when she pointed downward to help Marceline get it.
Marceline's eyes widen in realization before blushing brightly at the idea before speaking.
"Whoa." Was all she said.
"Yeah…. Remember when we were together… and you... brought that old… adult video?" Bubblegum said with a bright blush on her face when she remembered that day.
Marceline blushed as well before speaking.
"I do. And I still have it."
Bubblegum blushed before she sent Marceline a slight grin.
"Well… let's just say that Finn is much bigger than that guy… much bigger… and Finn was sixteen and is still growing if this Vampirism allows him to grow a little more before it fully sets in." Bubblegum teased while not being exact about Finn's *Size*.
Marceline was blushing after hearing that.
"Oh yeah. We definitely can't have the other girls join." She said.
"If we can help it that is... for all we know… we got a certain fiery Queen to deal with if she worries about Finn and starts to get feelings for him again... And honestly I doubt we could stop her since we both screwed up and Finn did the screwing up… not her." Bubblegum said about a certain women that they both know well while Bubblegum sighs.
Marceline sighs as well before speaking up.
"That is true. Well if the Queen wants to get in on this, maybe we could like test her or something." She suggested
"Maybe, we'll have to see what happens first before talking to her, and we have to talk with Finn first after a bit before she gets here or we could lose Finn to her without getting a shot at Finn… so while I said we take things slow, we should at least try and get Finn to agree to a date with each of us first later after we get him calmed down… then we take things slow… agreed?" Bubblegum said while she held a hand out to Marceline after she let go of her arm.
Marceline brought her hand to meet Bubblegum's before speaking.
"Agreed." She said before the duo shook.
That's when the Vampire Queen quickly leans in to kiss Bubblegum on the lips which in turn made Bubblegum's eyes widen from the second surprise kiss she gotten in one day which made her brain shut down for a moment while a lot of candy citizens who looked their ways had wide eyes when they did not expect that today.
Finn and Jake saw as well before Jake gasped loud before falling back.
Finn was just speechless when he watched what was going on while Marceline continued to kiss Bubblegum who was slowly coming too but she was still shocked still but had one thought on her mind while a blush formed a little on her face.
"S-Soft…" Bubblegum thought when she remembered what Marceline told her about her dream right before they fought the former Vampire king.
The Mental Vampire king in the meantime had a Stoic look on his face before he looked to Finn.
"Seems things may line up well for you later… seems they might date one another and come for you next… I mean…" The Vampire king said before he points to Finn's ears while he grinned lightly.
"... you heard everything after all once your body adjusted more to your powers… enhanced hearing makes things more interesting doesn't it." Vampire King said to Finn with a slight amused tone.
Finn just nod since he was still watching the kissing duo.
Marceline finally pulled back with a slight blush on her face.
Bubblegum had a slightly brighter blush on her face before she blinked a few times when she regained her mental state.
Bubblegum was silent while she blushed more before she looked to the ground since she was caught off guard multiple times today and she didn't think her brain could take much more.
"Bonnibel?" Marceline called while Bubblegum shook her head before she rubbed the back on her head for a moment before responding.
"Uh… aside from a lot of questions in my head now, the only thing I can say is what brought that on?, still thinking about that dream you had and the fact that you'll be immortal again soon?" Bubblegum asked with a slight blush on her face.
Marceline blushed as well before speaking.
"That...Plus I thought you remember how we always… agreed to a deal."
Bubblegum blushed brightly for a moment before she nods before she looked to her side for a second before she only said two things.
"Uh… Marceline…" Bubblegum said while she points to her side to the others in the room.
Marceline looked and her eyes widen from the stares. Especially when she saw Finn and Jake looking at them.
"Oops." She said.
"Yeah… so who talks with Finn about the share thing later?, caused I have a feeling like a ton of questions are about to be asked." Bubblegum said with a slight blush on her face and a slightly lower tone in her voice.
Marceline blushed too before realizing something.
"What if he already heard us. Finn did mention about the mental Vampire King in his head and also I forgot that vampires have excellent hearing." She said in a low tone.
Bubblegum blinked a few times before she looked to Marceline with a half lidded look.
"Now you tell me?, I wondered why you never had issues with you music, you must have damaged them it that's the case… I went to one of your concerts once and I got a headache from the loudness alone, no wonder you never remembered to mention that." Bubblegum said with a look that said she would have to see if she could fix Marceline's ears or something with cyclops tears later.
Marceline had a feeling what Bubblegum was thinking before speaking.
"My hearing's fine thank you. You know I was happy when you came to my concerts. But for now we should focus on Finn." She said.
"Indeed, and if he heard us, well it just means a lot less questions from him about what we were talking about… and more about other things… since… well… we did talk about that video and his… compared size and Phoebe after all." Bubblegum mentioned before she sighs and walked to Finn to get this over with.
Marceline followed after while hoping Finn calms down and hoped that he agrees.
The duo were in front of Finn before Bubblegum spoke.
"Hey Finn. Are you okay?"
"I…. don't even know how to respond to that one PB." Finn said while his head was on the table and it was faced to the side to show a slightly blushing face… he couldn't look either lady in the face right now which confirmed Marceline's enhanced hearing theory.
"I take it you heard what we talked about?" Marceline asked.
Finn turned his face to let his forehead rest on the table before he nods a few times before he spoke up.
"Y-Yeah… Mental Vamp King said it was because my body is adjusting to these powers… and well… I heard… a lot more than I thought I would… and more from a few citizens here who… are nervous around me to say the least since I did all of that shocking stuff just now… "Finn said which showed that while he was probably blushing like mad, he was also a bit worried he might be feared in the future.
"Oh Glob." Bubblegum muttered before speaking.
"Finn listen. You shouldn't believe what the people are saying. They don't understand what's going on. You're still you." She said hoping it helps.
Finn turned to her with a blushing face before he spoke up.
"Maybe but I also heard one say something that I sunk my fangs into you… I don't think it was for actual biting but… and considering what I heard from you two just now..."Finn tried to say but blushed more when his imagination went a bit into overdrive right now sense the way it was said… that was kind of suggestive.
Jake was wondering what Finn was talking about since he didn't here what Bubblegum and Marceline were talking about.
Said duo blushed brightly at the last part before Bubblegum spoke.
"Okay… I don't know who said that, but I'm gonna have a word with that person."
Finn just raised a hand and points his thumb to his right for some reason which made everyone look… to see that LSP was in the room and muttering stuff to herself which made Finn and a few candy citizens blush… at the more… intimate things LSP said…When did she get here and why?
"You gotta be kidding me." Bubblegum said before facepalming.
Marceline shook her head before speaking.
"Listen Finn. We're sorry about what you heard and I'm sorry for upsetting you about the other thing." She said with a guilty look.
"It's… alright Marcy, I don't blame you since at the end of the day, you still a radical dame to me… I just… Pb… do you know a place where I can sit for a bit by myself and think… I gotta lot to think about and I don't think sitting here is helping with LSP still muttering about… things nearby." Finn said when things were really adding up for him and some that was not in a good way if the confused expression on his face was any indication.
Marceline blushed a bit after being called radical dame again.
Bubblegum leans in to Finn's ear before whispering.
"Well we can probably take you to the library in my castle you can have some privacy there if we can get there that is."
Finn just looked to Bubblegum before he spoke up.
"Thanks Pb, I owe you a lot, some people may say otherwise but your one of the best lady friends I know of next to Marceline." Finn said with a really grateful tone since he really was grateful about the quiet place.
Bubblegum and Marceline smiled at the human while blushing a bit before Bubblegum looked to Jake.
"Jake, me and Marceline are gonna try to take Finn somewhere private. Make sure LSP doesn't follow." She said.
Before Jake could respond, Finn spoke up.
"Thanks for the help by the way Jake, hopefully I can find a book on Vampires there so I can learn more about them." Finn shockingly said to the trio since… when was the last time he opened a book again?
Bubblegum, Marceline and Jake's jaws dropped before Jake spoke.
"You can read a book bro?" He asked.
Finn gave him a half lidded look before he spoke up.
"Remember the Ranicornicopia?, and remember when we split up since you had your face smushed into the book?" Finn asked when he raised an eyebrow.
Jake rubbed the back of his head before speaking.
"But I thought you were dealing with those things called pagelings and those other guys."
"And I still think you don't believe me about them but I also looked up somethings when I had the Enchiridion… I read through that remember?, it's practically the hero book for heros." Finn pointed out since he had that book for awhile before he broke the thing with the Lich incident again.
"Right, forgot about that. Hehe, sorry bro." Jake said while rubbing his head more.
Finn then got a thoughtful look on his face before speaking up.
"I… also think there was something about Vampires in there, not just about fighting them, but about something else… but what." Finn muttered when he pinched the bridge of his nose while he focused on thinking since it seemed important…. The horror… Finn thinking… what has this world come too if it came to that?
Bubblegum brought her hand to Finn's shoulder before whispering.
"If it helps Finn, I might have some books about vampires."
Finn blinked a few times before he looked to her with a grin.
"Thanks Pb, I really appreciate this." Finn said which showed that for some reason his vocabulary changed a little… just what did the Vampire King's essence do to him?
Bubblegum, Marceline, Jake were surprised about sudden change before the candy monarch smiled a bit at Finn before whispering.
"No problem Finn. Now as soon as Jake distracts LSP, the three of us head for the library okay?"
Finn nods to Bubblegum before looking to Marceline.
"Hey Marceline, could you do me a favor?" Finn asked when he looked to her with a calmer look than before.
Said Vampire Queen was wondering what he needed.
"Sure Finn, what is it?" She asked.
"Well…" Finn said while he blushed when he rubbed the back of his hatless head before responding.
"I want to try and get to the library on my own and see if I can keep myself from floating, if I start to float could you let me know?, I'm… a bit worried I might panic and float away into the sky or something if I do." Finn whispered with a embarrassed blushing look on his face.
Marceline was surprised to hear that before whispering.
"Sure thing hero. We'll make sure nothing else happens."
Finn nods with relief before he spoke up.
"I also have another favor to ask before we leave." Finn said while he got a slightly nervous grin on his face.
"What is it?" Marceline asked with a curious look.
"Uhh… I never got the food that you said that you had… I was just wondering if you set it down nearby or something." Finn said with a nervous smile on his face while his stomach growled lightly.
Bubblegum, Marceline and Jake blinked a few times before the trio chuckled a bit before Marceline whispered.
"It's at the table next to you."
That's when Finn looked over with a grin on his face when his mood seemed to improve however… when the food was not where Marceline said it was… it turned into a jaw drop of horror which again made everyone look over… to see LSP eating the food while she spoke up.
"Oh glob who left all of this food here?, oh well finder's keepers right?" LSP said to a nearby candy citizen while Finn placed his head on the table again with a slight groan when reality just seemed to want to mess with him today.
Marceline looked to Finn before speaking.
"Don't worry hero, I'm getting you more food." She said before going back to the line.
Bubblegum was a bit furious before looking at LSP.
"LSP! That was Finn's food!" She yelled which caused Finn to frown when he saw people looking his way.
"Uh Pb…" Finn said while he tried to think of something to calm Bubblegum down.
Unfortunately, she ignored his call before Bubblegum went to LSP to give her a piece of her mind.
However Finn's body moved while he tried to grab Bubblegum to stop her and to pull her back to stop a fight from breaking out since Marceline was bringing food for him again anyway… but it seemed Glob was somehow vindictive to Finn when he followed the lead of the last person to surprise Bubblegum calm… and gripped Bubblegum's wrist and pulled her to him before he surprised all when he plants a kiss on her lips.
Bubblegum's eyes widen in shock while blushing brightly after being kiss for third time.
Jake and the rest of the citizens were shocked as well.
No one even noticed Marceline coming back with another tray of food before stopping in her tracks as she saw what just happen.
"Oh man. Bonnie's gettin all the lip action today." She muttered which… thanks to the silence of the room... Was heard by everyone before Finn pulled away with a bright blushing face.
"S-Sorry… I was… just following Marcy's example of calming you down since that was… no no, I… I'm sorry… I.. I mean… " Finn tried to say while he starts to try and think of an apology but starts failing again.
Bubblegum blushed brightly before regaining her composure before speaking.
"I-It's okay Finn. To be honest… it did calm me down." She said while blushing brightly.
Finn blushed as well before he saw Marceline and chuckled nervously when he saw her looking their way and knew he got busted.
"Uh… hey again." Finn said when he was practically stumped right now.
"Hey… I… got you your food." Marceline said while feeling a little jealous that she didn't get kissed.
Finn blushed a bit before he spoke up.
"Uh… want to… join me and eat this?... I ate earlier and I don't think I can finish all of this myself." Finn nervously asked while he scratched the side of his cheek for a moment.
Marceline blushed a bit at the invitation before speaking.
"Sure. If it's… okay with you."
Finn then turned to Bubblegum before he spoke up with a smile.
"Want to join us PB?, Did you eat earlier?" Finn asked with a slightly worried tone to his voice.
Before Bubblegum could respond, her stomach made an obvious growl.
Said candy monarch felt a little embarrassed before nodding her head.
Finn smiles a bit before he turned to the food to get a good look at what Marceline got.
On the tray there was soup, a few sandwiches, slices of fruit, and red jello.
Finn took a moment to sit down before he grabbed a sandwich before he starts to eat.
Marceline and Bubblegum then sat with him before they took a sandwich for themselves.
The trio than ate for a bit before Finn wondered something when he swallowed the bit of food in his mouth.
"Hey Marcy, when you were a vampire, did you eat and drink things that were just red or was it really just for those hunger moments?" Finn asked when he looked to his sandwich and wondered if food would taste the same for him.
Marceline was a bit surprised to her that before speaking.
"For the hunger moments. But I sometimes eat and drink non red stuff. Remember when we drank those grape soda's?"
Finn shuddered a bit for some reason before he nods… he got a note from Susan about the soda factory and what it did but he kept silent about that since he didn't want Marceline to over react or lose a good memory.
"Yeah, just wondering if the taste of things changed though." Finn wondered since he rarely saw Marceline eat or drink non red things around him, guess he normally saw her when she was getting red hungry.
"Hmmm, nope everything tastes the same to me. Does your food taste different?" Marceline asked.
"Hmm… sorta, either the baloney in the sandwich went a bit stale or I'm tasting something odd." Finn asked when he tastes something slightly off before Bubblegum asked a question.
"Maybe your sense of smell got heightened. Do you want another sandwich? Or do you want me or Marceline can give you one of ours."
Finn took a moment to think while he bit into his other sandwich and it tasted slightly different before he spoke up.
"Hmm… guess it's different… not as bad but off still… and smell?" Finn said before he stats sniffing the air to see if his sense of smell was still heightened.
"Like what?" Jake asked when he got to the trio.
"Well… I never really wondered but what is a baloney?... I think I was getting different types of meat tastes on my tongue… and smell… well Bubblegum smells really sweet and Marceline… hmm?" Finn said before he got a confused look on his face again.
Bubblegum blushed a bit after hearing that while Marceline raised an eyebrow before speaking.
"What? Do I smell bad?"
"Oh no no… you smell nice as well, just different, like a mix of… fire or a spicy scent and… something else… can't place my finger on it though… seems… metallic or something… odd but pleasant kind of mix." Finn said while he wondered what the second one was.
Bubblegum, Marceline and Jake were surprised at Finn's sense of smell while Marceline blushed a bit from the compliment.
"That's some nose you have on you bro." Jake said.
"Thanks… and I guess the fire or spicy part is from your demonic side Marcy but what is that metallic scent?" Finn asked… he thought it seemed familiar but he couldn't fully recognize it.
Marceline then spoke.
"Well don't worry about that Finn. Right now you should focus on eating."
"Alright… food doesn't taste bad, was just caught off guard since they tasted different than normal." Finn explained before he starts eating the sandwiches again with a smile on his face.
Bubblegum, Marceline and Jake smiled to him before they resumed eating.
A few moments pass before the doors were slammed open which made everyone jolt and Finn was shocked back into a floating state for a bit before he and the others looked to see who barged in.
As it turns out word had spread about what happened to Finn.
The one who opened the double door single handedly was Muscle princess while other Princesses walked under her arms… right before their gazes locked on to the floating Finn who made a very sensible reaction.
"Oh Glob…" Finn muttered right before more of the hyper princesses start rushing to him while Finn's eyes widen greatly like a deer caught in the headlights.
Bubblegum, Marceline, and Jake's eyes widen as well before the trio stood up and Bubblegum spoke.
"Jake! Hold them off so we can get Finn out!" She yelled before she and Marceline grab hold of Finn's arms before running out of the room.
Jake then grew big and wide like wall to hold off the horde.
Unfortunately, Muscle Princess ran forward before she gripped the part of Jake who touched the ground before she actually lift him up and she threw Jake to the side with an audible crash while other Princesses rushed past her when she kissed her arm for a second.
Marceline and Bubblegum continues to run, while still dragging the floating Finn, before the trio left the hospital and starts heading to the Castle.
Lucky for the trio that it's still dark outside.
For a minute the trio avoids the princesses but one of them shouts out that she found them before the three got chased again… and even with Bubblegum leading the way, they still ended up in an alleyway with a dead end while the other Princesses slowed to catch their breaths before they slowly approaching the trio.
Just than a large fireball lands in between the two groups which made their eyes widen before the flames fade to show an armored Phoebe who looked to the other Princesses with an angered look while she lit one hand with more fire.
"Leave… now." Phoebe said with a deadly tone in her voice which made most of the princesses shudder while they slowly backed off.
Bubblegum, Marceline and Finn was shocked after seeing that before Finn spoke up.
"Flame Princess?"
Phoebe smiled before she looked to the trio with a slightly relaxed tone.
"Know anyone else who can use flames like that?" Phoebe said with a smile on her face when she walked to the trio.
Marceline then spoke.
"Thanks for the save back there."
"No worries, I just got here myself and saw you two dragging Finn around… and I guess the rumor was true." Phoebe said before she looked a bit worried when she looked to Finn who floated there.
Said hero rubbed the back of his head back of his head before speaking.
"Yeah Phoebe, it's true." He said before closing his mouth as he realize what he said.
"Oh Glob… sorry."
Phoebe giggles for a second before she spoke up with a relaxed look on her face.
"No worries Finn, we know one another well so it's no issue if you call me that." Phoebe said before she looked to his red eyes.
"Still, thought you would look more like Marceline here, is the grey skin thing a full vamp thing or is that just her?" Phoebe asked since the only vampire she heard off was Marceline, she heard about the Vampire king cloud earlier.
Marceline raised her eyebrow a bit before speaking.
"Only me since the other vampires we hunted didn't have grey skins. Although…" She said before stopping before looking at Finn.
"Hey Finn can you remove your hat for a moment?"
Finn nods before he removed his hat which caused his hair to flow down his back… seemed he didn't get it cut which showed plenty of hair to the trio… and one section of the hair was slowly turning from the blonde hair that they know and to a new color… Pure white like freshly laid snow.
The girls stared at Finn's hair with AWE.
Finn blinked a few times at the looks before speaking up.
"What?" Finn asked when he didn't see the change since the hair went down his back.
The girls shook their heads before Marceline spoke.
"Sorry. Anyway, your hair is changing little by little."
"WHAT!?" Finn shouts before he pulled his long hair till he saw the white strands before he spoke up.
"Uh… think it would look odd for me to have white hair?" Finn asked while the mental image of Finn having pure white hair and the red eyes went into the three women's minds.
That's when the Vampire King in training saw Bubblegum, Marceline and Phoebe having slight blushes on their faces after thinking about Finn's new look.
Finn blinked a few times when he saw that before he spoke up.
"Uh… did I say something wrong?" Finn asked when it seemed like he mistook their looks for something negative.
The girls immediately shook their heads before Bubblegum spoke.
"No no… You did nothing wrong. It's just…" She said before stopping as she was trying to say the right words before Marceline spoke.
"We were thinking how cool you would look with red eyes and white hair."
Finn blushed a bit before looking at both Phoebe and Bubblegum to see if they had the same thing in mind.
Said duo blushed a bit before nodding their heads at him.
Finn blushed a bit more before he looked to the ground before shaking his head.
"A-Anyway… we should get to the library, hope it's empty right now… thanks for the help Phoebe, want to come along or do you want to get something to eat at the cafeteria?" Finn asked Phoebe while he looked around to make sure no other princesses could jump him.
Phoebe took a moment to think before spoke.
"Hmmm, I'll come along." She said which made Finn smile a bit before he looked to her.
"Alright, and thanks again for the rescue." Finn said while he sent her a grin.
Phoebe blushed a bit from that grin.
Marceline and Bubblegum quickly look to one another after seeing that before Bubblegum spoke.
"Alright let's get going then." She said before Marceline spoke.
"Want us to carry you Finn or wanna try walking on your own?"
Finn blushed a bit from that while rubbing the back of his head.
"Uh… I'd like to try walking." Finn said before he lands on his feet and starts to walk to the alley while he mutters stuff about rocks and how heavy they are while he wobbles a bit when he nearly lost focus a few times.
Bubblegum, Marceline and Phoebe were by Finn's side just in case he fell or float again.
Meanwhile, the Vampire King watched things from nearby with a stoic look on his face while he watched another part of Finn's hair slowly turn white… from the tip of his hair while it slowly went to the root before the scene fades to black.
The scene than showed TME and Atomk sitting high above the Candy kingdom before TME looked to Atomsk.
"So… how did the story feel to you, like it or not?" TME asked while he took a thinking pose of sorts while he sat on the barrier.
"Like is not a word I use. I say… loved it." Atomsk said which made TME chuckle before he spoke up.
"Hehe, thanks, and thanks for helping, think we can top this next chapter?" TME asked while he took a moment to look at Finn and his group slowly heading to the Library.
"I believe so." Atomsk as he watched the group as well.
"So… any favorite part or parts of interest?" TME asked while he took a moment to think of his own.
"Hmmm let's see." Atomsk before taking out a notepad.
"Well there was the part where Finn saved Marceline, Simon talking to Marceline, the Finnceline mushiness, Bubbline kiss scene and Phoebe coming to the rescue." Atomsk said.
"Hmmm… not bad, mine are the Vampire King bits and the dream explanation about why the cloud did what it did, and then there's the pinball part and Finn kissing Bubblegum not once but twice, first from that bowl and the other from trying to calm her down, and there was the spinning bits and his hunger induced state from earlier, who knew that Nurse Pound cake could throw a mean apple." TME said with a grin on his face.
"Ooo, nice. And yeah she has one heck of an arm. It's amazing Bubblegum hadn't put her in baseball." Atomsk said.
"Guess the hospital needed her more huh… anyway, thoughts on the chapter?" TME asked while he got a more serious look on his face.
"Well, it was upsetting to see Finn suffer through his first hunger stage. Then there was the part where Vampire King told Finn about the island of humans and vampires. It was funny when all the royals came to see Finn." Atomsk said while chuckling at the last part.
"Yeah, and since the Vampire King's backstory was never fully explained except for how he got staked, brought back to life, re-vampired Marceline, or in this case Sanguine Vampirismed her and Finn, there wasn't much told except how bad he was in the past… but that's the beauty of Fanfiction, to fill in the blanks and make interesting stories for certain characters as long as you, or we don't break certain rules, I mean it was never told where the Vampire King originally lived after he became a Vampire right?, and since their is an island of humans in the Adventure time canon, there could be more Vampires and Humans as well right?" TME asked with a grin on his face while his eyes gave a slight glow to show his rising excitement.
Atomsk chuckled a bit before speaking.
"Oh most definitely." He said in agreement.
"Well since the readers know where our stories lead to sooner or later, think we could put a lemon in the Library?, it's never exactly told what Finn's birthday was right?, maybe it could be his 18th birthday shortly after they get there and Marceline could take advantage of that after she finds out while Phoebe and Bubblegum are busy looking up stuff about Vampires and are unaware at first… would also help with making Phoebe jealous right?" TME said to Atomsk with a wide grin on his face that seems a lot like the Spirit of the Master Emerald's grin.
"Hmmm, that could work and perhaps it'll be their way of testing Phoebe to see if they can welcome her into sharing Finn." Atomsk said.
"Maybe... we'll have to iron things out in a bit, but for now… want to lead us out since the readers are here?, I'll head to the Library to wait for Finn's group… maybe I could… intervene a bit to help speed things up." TME said while he points a thumb at the readers while he had an idea that wouldn't interfere with the story.
"Sure." Atomsk said which made TME grin before he opened a portal before he walked to it.
"Oh and Atomsk, you'll need to make a platform since I won't be here." TME said when he placed a foot in the portal and got ready to enter.
Atomsk's eyes widen before he starts concentrating and a pair of wings appeared on his back just before TME left.
The platform slowly broke away and disintigrates while Atomsk was left with a bit left to stand on and that bit slowly broke down as well.
Atomsk quickly start thinking on using his wings before they start flapping.
It wasn't long till he was in the air before the last piece of the platform disappeared.
"That was a close one. Better think of a different location." He said before he starts concentrating on a new location while his wings flap.
It only took about a couple of minutes before Atomsk was inside a bridge of a ship. But not just any ship.
Atomsk is on the Millennium Falcon.
Atomsk's wings disappeared before taking a seat on the captain's chair.
"There we go. I always wanted to be in the Flacon." He said before looking at the readers.
"Hello folks. Hope you enjoyed reading the first chapter of TME's B-Day story. Sorry he had to leave early, but you understand. Anyway I bet a lot of you didn't see that coming after Finn saved Marceline and what's he going through. Hopefully Marceline, Bubblegum and Phoebe will be there to help him. I'm also curious on what the mental Vampire King is gonna do." Atomsk said before he hears beeping on the control panel.
"Uh oh, looks like I'm being targeted by some enemy ships. Sorry to cut this outro short everyone, but I have to get going. See you in chapter two and wish me luck." He said before he activates the Falcon's engines and flew the ship out before a couple of Star Destroyers gave chase before the scene fades black.
