[|Ch.8 Dead Candies|]

Italic text like this, are the mc's thoughts that are accessible to everything in his mind.

Normal text like this is the mc describing what he or others are doing, a sort of pseudo-omniscient narrator that is himself.

"Text like this is people talking."

"They haven't returned. The last signal I received from their radio was screams," she says, and I grimace. "This... isn't very good," I mutter. Especially since this scenario never existed in the show. Maybe it did, but they were never mentioned, as literally 90% of the content before the start of the show is obscured.

The lake has some danger in the form of its guardians but they are water bound and are literally toddler mermaids with lightsabers, which can easily be taken care of even if they went into the water.

Which they shouldn't of.

"It isn't good at all. I called you here because I want us to go investigate. It might be a threat, as it is not too far from us," she says, frowning. So, she wants me to go alone? Kinda risky, but I don't mind. If things go wrong, I can easily run.

"I'm also coming with," she says, making me raise an eyebrow. She can fight, sure, but she has been doing so less and less since I took over that role almost completely.

"Are you sure? If everything goes wrong, you probably won't be able to escape like me," I warn, genuinely not wanting her to come along. It's way too dangerous. If 50 soldiers, all capable of taking on pretty much anything, were killed, then whatever is there is truly dangerous.

"I know, but you're there to protect me," she says, making me roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I need some time to gather the right people for this, so I suggest we leave tomorrow. Get yourself ready. I don't want to find myself crying over your grave," I say, smiling.

"Same to you," she responds as I exit the lab. Instead of remaining in our candy tree castle, I venture into the residential area of our kingdom. It bears a striking resemblance to its depiction in the show, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Candy inhabitants stroll about, engaging in conversations, making their way to work, and so forth. We have established an economy, even though we are capable of providing virtually anything they desire.

In the future, as more kingdoms emerge and people migrate between them, it is important for our kingdom to possess an economy; otherwise, immigrants would have no means of generating income here.

Naturally, this is something we wish to avoid. In the distance, I can observe some of our workers constructing additional buildings. Currently, we lack fortifications as we are constantly expanding. Oh and, we have managed to divert and block off the radioactive river that was once present.

I managed to persuade Bonnie to do this and not completely remove it because I require Shoko, one of Finn's past lives, to arrive in the future and fall in which will kill her at the right time. If she dies too late, Finn's birth will be delayed, and that's not good at all.

Well I think, I don't know how reincarnation actually works. More so with comet people, is that what you call them? I really don't know. 

Now that I think about it, fate probably controls when they are born to ensure they actually change the world in significant ways, so it probably doesn't matter. But you can never be too sure.

And her dying to the east is what causes Finn and Jakes treehouse to grow and I also dont want to stop that. But all that will only happen in a couple hundred years, I don't even know if I can keep that toxic river there for that long.

Alot of stuff happens around there really, like so much stuff. One after another. I don't know the exact times, no one did, but they do happen.

Bonnie would meet Marceline around that time, save the Glass Kingdom, the creation of Lemongrab, Shoko dying, The Fire kingdom forming, and so much other random stuff.

Really wish they had solid dates, I just have to wing it I guess.

Really short chap so might as well upload it with the previous one. When I wrote this I was running low on creative juices, could probably spruce it up but I'm lazy rn.

Also please for the love of god relax. This story has been a dead horse for months and the literal second I upload a chapter there are tens of people there and the story already has like 40 power stones.
