Chapter 4: An Ice Knight's First Mission Part 1

Ooo/ Ice Kingdom/ Finn, Emerald, Gunter, Simon (Wraith)

Finn is seen pacing back and forth with Emerald and Gunter standing at the wall watching him before Finn spoke up.

"Something is not right. They should be here by now."

"Try and remember Finn that there are enemies outside of the ice kingdom that outnumber you 10 to 1, they probably had to take some kind of long route or something." Emerald said when he tried to comfort Finn but he also felt like something was off, if those two were really good with what they do, then what was the hold up if they knew the lay of the land.

Finn did felt a bit better but doesn't mean he was still concerned before speaking.

"Well still… maybe I should check on them." He said before pulling his demon blood sword out of its sheath.

He looks into the eye before speaking up.

"Show me… Huntress Wizard." He said… however instead of seeing anything good like a possible nude moment or even of Huntress walking or sneaking alongside Canyon… it looked like she was hiding from something behind some tall sick looking trees and had some serious injuries on her body… what the hell happened and where was this Canyon woman at?

Finn pulled his head back before speaking up.

"Ah snap! Huntress Wizard is in trouble. She's hurt and looks like she's hiding from something. I don't even see that Canyon person."

Emerald got a serious look on his face before he spoke up.

"Can that sword give details of the area?, like where is this Huntress at, say the word Finn and I'll shoot over to her to help her." Emerald said while he gripped his weapon in his hand while it was on his back.

Finn looks at Emerald before speaking.

"All I saw was her hiding behind some tall, sickly trees."

"The Dead Woods... most likely if she came directly from the Candy Kingdom with Canyon… during the four years you were asleep, in order to get some elemental based slaves, The Dark lord during one of the early years, about a year in a half in, tried to take over the Candy Kingdom and used the forest nearby as a way to help hide and defend troops, but that was mainly a distraction when many wood nymphs were taken, either as slaves… or for being forced to do tier 15 by some of the more insane man or some women in the enemy army… without the Nymphs there, the trees started to get sicker and sicker till they look like husks of their former selves…" Simon explained when he appeared near Finn with a grim look on his face.

Finn's eyes widen in shock when heard that before looking at Emerald before speaking.

"Emerald get going now!"

Emerald nods before he spoke up.

"And where is Canyon, I can look through the woods and find Huntress but what about this Canyon woman?" Emerald asked with a serious look on his face.

Finn wondered as well before he looks at the eye of his sword before speaking.

"Show me where Canyon is."

The scene he saw would shock Finn when he saw Canyon bound and gagged while some odd mist was over her body and she had a unfocused look in her eyes, it looked like Canyon was in some kind of large cage or something, and with a few armored knights near the cage showed how large Canyon was while she wore a toga like outfit which had a few wounds on her body which bled a little with blue blood seems they were in the Dead Woods but in a different area in some kind of camp… what the hell happened?.

Finn immediately pulled his back with wide eyes before speaking up.

"Dude you got to hurry. That Caynon person is also hurt. She's bound and gagged and is inside a cage surrounded by some armored troops and some weird green mist. I think she's in the Dead Woods, but in a camp somewhere else in there."

Emerald nods before he surprised Finn by shooting towards the window and actually jumped out of it while drawing his weapon.

The young Ice Prince was shocked but was still worried for the two before speaking up.

"Simon… I hope Emerald makes it there."

"Not to worry Finn, before he got here, Emerald ran for three days and nights when he was fleeing his pursuers and that was for his own survival… but when a possible ally is in trouble, well, no offence but Emerald cares about his own allies more than anyone I ever met, he even took an attack for Gunter once when all the penguin did was give him some leftover Fish when Emerald was practically starving, so I wouldn't worry about Huntress if she continues to hide… but I do worry for this Canyon woman… that green mist… I think it's not deadly… but it might cause issues if it's what I think it is..." Simon said while he got a bit worried when he focused on the memory of the green mist in Finn's head.

Finn sees the worried look on Simon's face before speaking.

"I don't want to know about that green mist. All I need to do is hope that Emerald gets there in time and comes back safely with Huntress and Canyon. I wish I can do more."

"... hmmm… maybe you can, but I need to tell you about that mist since it can mean some bad things for Canyon, if you can do what I think you can do, than you can help either slow it's affect or get rid of it entirely." Simon said with a thoughtful look on his face when he looked to Finn's sword when he had an idea of some kind.

Finn really wanted to help out Canyon, even if she's a total stranger, she doesn't deserve the torment she's facing.

"Tell me what I have to do. And also, do I need a disguise if I have to go there?"

"No… just a line of sight for now… and that sword could be a key item for a surprising ability of yours since for you, as long as you have a line of sight, you can affect the weather of certain areas… and to be serious Finn if you have to deal with this mist later, that green mist is something called an aphrodisiac, a type of drug that forces women to go into a… lust filled state against their will, you can guess what happens when it fully takes effect with Canyon right?, no real fight for those knights if she is physically willing, but mentally, she won't have much control." Simon said to get through to Finn about the possible ability and the mist in the cage.

Finn's eyes widen with shock before he pales a bit before speaking up.

"Oh Glob...Okay. Now I really need to help. How do this?"

"For starters, have your sights back on Canyon and tell me what her current state is, if we're lucky than they could have just used that mist based aphrodisiac." Simon said with a serious tone to his voice.

Finn was a bit hesitant but it didn't stop him from looking at the eye before speaking.

"Show me Canyon again."

The scene this time showed Canyon while she sat against the bars with her face looking slightly flushed before Finn heard a guard speaking up with a lecherous tone, the helmet seemed to prevent him from getting affected by the mist but what he said would probably piss off any decent person nearby.

"Hehe… just a few more minutes bitch and soon you'll be pleasing this base… just need to find that Nymph and see how well she can really suck cock!" The guard said with a lecherous tone while Canyon's eyes narrow a bit but she couldn't reply when it looked like she was fighting the effect for now.

Finn then starts to get angry when he heard that before speaking up.

"Like that will happen! Simon, how do I take that mist away ?"

"Simple, all you need to do is focus on having cold winds blow into the cage and the rest will happen if you focus hard enough, thankfully the dead woods are a few miles away so Emerald will be there in 20 or so minutes if he books it, how does Canyon look right now?, I may see your memories, but its at a slight angle so it's hard to tell with her in the cage." Simon explained when the memories that Finn saw was a bit different with the bars blocking Canyon from Simon's view.

Finn continues to look at the eye before speaking.

"She's trying to fight back the mist's effects, but her face looks a bit flushed."

"We may have a chance then but Emerald might get a surprised if she has a good poker face, I would say about 5 minutes in the mist then, so try and focus Finn, think of the coldest winds you can think of and have them flow into the cage." Simon said when he looked thoughtful.

Finn acknowledges before he starts concentrating on sending the coldest winds to Canyon's cage.

A few moments later, his crown and ring glows before the scene went to Canyon who felt something was off when she felt a light breeze of sorts before it kicks up greatly and the green mist flowed out of the cage before the guard spoke up with a shocked tone.

"T-The Fuck!, w-who turned down the temperature here?" The guard said while he hugged his arms when he shivered when the winds focused on him for some reason.

Finn smirks at his handy work as he continues to use his powers before the guard ran off to stand near a torch before he called out.

"Oi you bastards, something strange is going on, get more of that sex mist in there or we'll all be in trouble if she gets back to normal before we can break her." The guard, or apparently the captain of the camp said when lesser armed men and women came from nearby with some odd looking items that had some green mist emitting from them.

Finn's eyes widen when he saw that before speaking up.

"Oh no you don't." He said before sending another strong cold wind to the group.

This process repeats while the camera went to Emerald who at the time managed to get into the outer parts of the woods before he pants for breath when he ran all the way here.

"O-Oh freaking A… g-gotta pace myself better or I won't be able to help Finn at all…" Emerald said before he coughed a few times while he tried to catch his breath.

Meanwhile with Huntress Wizard…

You see said Nymph hiding behind some trees.

However she groans a bit from injuries she receives before thinking.

'What was I thinking taking a route through the Dead Woods... Now Canyon is trouble and I'm alone till I'm found out. If I make it out alive I'm giving Bubblegum a slap to the face for this.' She thought.

A moment later, Huntress than heard coughing which got her attention from nearby and heavy breathing from nearby before a voice spoke up.

"O-Oh freaking A… g-gotta pace myself better or I won't be able to help Finn at all…" The voice said before said voice coughed a few times while the person, who sounded male, tried to catch his breath.

Huntress Wizard's eyes widen after hearing that before thinking.

'Did someone say Finn?' She thought before peeked her head a bit to see who spoke before she readied her arrow just incase.

The figure in question's body was hid by a cloak similar to her old brown cloak while it looked like the hood was up to cover the figure's head, but the real eye catcher was the heavy looking tooth like sword that looked like it was in the shape of a fang.

The Figure than spoke up to himself, most likely to collect his thoughts.

"Don't know if Huntress is nearby, so I might as well help Canyon if I can find that camp, seems she's the one in real trouble right now with that weird green mist… hope it's not that aphrodisiac thing I heard about a few years ago ... gotta hurry or Finn will get pissed with me if I fail." The figure said before he ran with surprising speed past Huntress's hiding place even with the heavy footsteps sounding which showed how heavy his weapon was before his form fades into the woods.

Said wood nymph's eyes widen with shock when she heard the figure saying Finn's name again along with Canyon's before her eyes widen again when she heard the part of the aphrodisiac before thinking.

'Oh Glob no.' She thought before she decides to step out of the trees before she tries to call out to the figure.

"WAIT!" She screamed as loud as she could.

The figure in turn stopped when he was barely seen and when he looked back to Huntress, but since her body was in the shade, he couldn't recognize her before he had a hand on his weapon and his eyes glow with some kind of multi color energy before he spoke up.

"Who's there?, I'll warn you that if your an enemy… you better tell me where you camp is… or I'll get the info the painful way." The Figure said before he said the last part with a cold merciless tone as he effortlessly drew the heavy looking sword with one hand only.

Huntress Wizard flinched a bit before she starts walking a bit, though she grunts a bit from the pain before speaking before removing her hood.

"My name is Huntress Wizard. I heard what you said. I came here with a woman name Canyon to scout the Ice Kingdom… and to look for a person name Finn."

The Figure, though his eyes did widen a bit when he saw Huntress, the eyes narrowed under the hood before he spoke up.

"Prove it... I ran into various enemies who shapeshift before so unless you can tell me something that only the real Huntress would know… I suggest you stay away from me… quick Q to help save time… what did Bubblegum tell you to do to Finn when you meet him and know it's really him." The Figure said with a guarded tone... How did he know about that conversation?.

Huntress Wizard's eyes widen a bit when she heard that before thinking.

'How does he know about Bubblegum?' She thought before speaking up.

"She said that if I find him and that if he was the new Ice King and was still sane, that I was told to... slap him."

The figure surprised Huntress by actually laughing for a moment before he spoke up and got into a relaxed stance.

"Oh wow, you really are Huntress, sorry for the third degree but you know how things are these days…" The figure said before he used a free hand to grip his own hood and pulled it back to reveal that the figure was a brown haired, green eyed human of all things after the rainbow like glow faded and was grinning to Huntress.

Said Wood Nymph's eyes widen a bit before speaking up.

"Okay… I don't know what just happen, but some questions. 1) Who are you? 2) How do you know about Bubblegum and what she said? 3) Is Finn really the new Ice King and if so, did he send you?"

"Well to be quick since were on a timetable to rescue Canyon and blow this joint, 1) Name's Emerald, my master, Xan Grandblade, helped the fire kingdom a few years ago when he died and I got his weapon that you can see as a momento that I use in battle, 2) Let's say that Finn the Ice PRINCE had peeping powers and spied on Bubblegum when he was concerned for her, though he did have some… interesting moments when he peaked on woman who were in compromising positions but I can gossip about that later, 3) Since he's still getting use to his 19 year old body after his 4 year sleep, I was sent to rescue you and Canyon, if you doubt my abilities, I was the one who sent the Army of around 200 packing… or more like 100 after I caused that avalance, if you can hide, than find a place to hide while I clear the camp where Canyon is in out… know where it is?, cause I really want to crack a few skulls with my sword if that green mist is what I think it is." Emerald said while he got a cold look on his face near the end.

Huntress Wizard's eyes widen in shock when she heard everything before speaking up.

"T-The camp is about NW that way." She said before pointing to the direction that she pointed out.(North West.)

Emerald in turn nods before he spoke up.

"How are your injuries?, I know some medical spells so as long as their not life threatening or as long as you can draw plant like energy I can revive the earth around here somewhat and you can retreat into a tree to recover." Emerald said with a serious look on his face while his left hand let up with an orange light.

Huntress Wizard's eyes widen again before speaking up.

"W-Well my injuries are not that severe. I can still bring some arrows. But maybe I should come with you. If anything happens to Canyon it be my fault."

Emerald was silent for a moment before he spoke up.

"Very well, keep to the shadows and try to keep up, but if the injuries get to be to much than hide and let me know how your doing when the coast in clear, I'll use some healing spells on you." Emerald said when he turned to the Direction that Huntress pointed out before he got ready to run with his heavy looking weapon in one hand and pulled his hood up and pulled some kind of mask from the hood to hide his mouth.

Huntress Wizard pulls her hood up before speaking.

"Let's go save her." She said before starts going to the direction of the camp with Emerald leading the charge to protect Huntress.

As they run, Huntress Wizard was deep in thought after hearing what Emerald said before thinking.

'So Bubblegum was right. Finn is the new Ice King or Prince as that Emerald guy said. And all this time, he was sleeping for those four years. No wonder no one could find him. I can't believe the guy I'm running with is the one that beat down those troops and to top it all off, his master's the one that help the Fire Kingdom before dying and his weapon disappearing. Although… when Emerald mentioned Finn being a peeper, what did he…*Eyes widen in realization*... that little pervert.

He better not have seen me naked.' She thought with a frown on her face before blushing a bit.

Emerald was silent for a moment before he looked back to see Huntress blushing a bit before he spoke up.

"You OK Huntress?, your face is a bit red… are your injuries messing with you?" Emerald asked with some concern when he slowed a bit to run beside Huntress.

Huntress Wizard's eyes widen a bit before shaking her head a bit before speaking.

"It's nothing. Just thinking of what you said about Finn being a peeper."

"Ah that, mainly accidents when they happen, I mean it's not like he can get warnings if women are in the nude or not, but he never really looked away… I mean he never got the tier talk from his brother Jake so… mainly 60 to 70% curiosity for the most part, the other 30… backed up lust apparently, I mean to give Finn some credit, wouldn't you be both confused and intrigued with the opposite sexes more… private moments?, or the same sex?, kind of hard to tell what gender likes what in Ooo since man or woman hook up with one another here... I mean I had to give him the freaking talk when he saw Breakfast Princess and her maid in a… certain situation and it seemed the Maid was packing if you get what I mean."

Emerald said while chuckling a bit with a slightly confused look on his face near the end.

Huntress Wizard was a very surprised when she heard that before thinking.

'Wait… Breakfast Princess and her maid?! And what type of brother doesn't tell Finn about the tiers. At least Emerald took care of it.' She thought before speaking.

"Well… normally peeping on people is wrong, even though I don't know how Finn did it. But, after hearing what you said, I'll give him a break.

However… did he peep on me?"

"Well, only when you talked with Bubblegum and the view for him was focused on her and for when we checked on you and Canyon when you two were taking your time getting here, but after that, no, and as for how he peeps, it's his sword, apparently his demon blood sword was changed and he can now look through the eye like part and peep on people he names, though you gotta admit that peeping blood sword did save you right?"

Emerald said before sending Huntress a teasing grin near the end when the apply named Peeping sword helped Huntress today.

Said wood nymph did feel grateful that something like that in Finn's possession saved her and possibly Canyon if they can get there in time.

A few moments pass before Emerald shot ahead for a moment before he stopped when it looked like he saw something and got into a defensive position in front of Huntress to guard her.

Huntress stopped as well but was confused before speaking.

"What is it? Why'd you stop?"

The Question was answered when they saw a group of knight like guards appearing in low ranking armor with what looked like skeleton like dogs next to each of them before one spoke up.

"Hehe, seems we found the tricky bitch… and it looks like she found a friend, hey buddy, me and my pals here are feeling a bit… generous… leave the woman here and you just run on along and we'll let you live, for some reason there's this cold wind blowing through the camp that's making it hard for the aphrodisiac to take effect on the giant water elemental woman so consider us lucky when we run into an injured Forest Nymph… hehe…" The man said while eyeing Huntress like a piece of meat with a few of the men doing the same to her while Emerald frowned under his cloak.

Huntress Wizard pales a bit when she saw those stares.

Emerald however cracks his head a few times before he spoke up.

"One Question, about that cold wind… doesn't it seem a bit too helpful for the Giant woman?"

Emerald said when he had a good feeling on what or who was causing it while he hoped Huntress got the message from his cryptic way of speaking while the guards just looked confused from what Emerald said… seems Finn was buying them some time somehow if Simon was helping Finn with his ice abilities.

Huntress Wizard was indeed confused before she gets what Emerald was saying.

"Heh, well even if it is, it's only a matter of time before that oversized bitch is pleasing us with her body, even a slight smell of the stuff in that mist would send a person into a lust fueled frenzy but seems she has a will of iron… gotta respect it but it won't be long… now leave or die pal… you seem like an interesting guy with that weapon but do you think your a hero or something?" The guard said before Emerald was silent before he starts to chuckle with a dark tone which confused the guards before Emerald spoke up when he gripped his weapon.

"A hero?... no… nothing like that…. " Emerald said before he effortless lifts his weapon which glows with a bright flame before he spoke up again.

"I'M A GODDAMN MONSTER TO FUCKERS LIKE YOU!" Emerald roars out before he vanished with a shocking burst of speed and appeared near the edge of the guard group before he just swings his arm forward before his blade shot forward and through most of the enemies and all of the skeleton dogs while a chain held the handle to the blade while a few lucky or unlucky men fell on their asses in fear and shock when Emerald's weapon flew through a tree which crushed another guard with a bloody splat before his blade returns and returned to normal while his cloak was covered with blood to give him a monstrous demon like look while his eyes under his hood gave a red glow and the shadows of the hood only made Emerald seemed more monster like when he slowly approached the frightened guard, this one seemed more female like under her armor but Emerald didn't care when he continues to approach her.

Huntress Wizard was shocked after witnessing Emerald's speed.

She was also surprisingly, and almost, sorry for that female looking soldier and didn't know whether she should help or not.

A moment later, Emerald raised his weapon above his head before a cold chill came from him and his weapon before his red glowing eye turned blue before his weapon gained many ice like spike while the female guard starts to shiver from fright from how cold Emerald's eyes were.

Huntress Wizard groans a bit before she decides to speak.

"Emerald wait. Normally I won't defend someone like... her, but… she can be useful to us alive."

"How so… cause if we let her go, then things will get worse for us and Canyon before we can help her." Emerald said while he keeps his weapon at the ready to strike.

"She can tell us the camp's weaknesses and tell us how many troops there are. There could be some archers there on some towers." Huntress Wizard said while Emerald looked thoughtful before he spoke to the woman in the guard uniform.

"Well then, seems today might be your lucky day… better tell the truth as well or you won't live to see tomorrow." Emerald coldly said while he knelt in front of the female guard after stabbing his weapon in the ground next to him.

The female guard shivered with fear before speaking up.

"I-I'll talk but please don't kill me. I only joined to survive."

"Maybe, remove your helmet and let's see who you are… you have a similar magical energy to Huntress here and I want to be sure of something."

Emerald said when he had some suspicious feeling about this guard.

Huntress Wizard raised her eyebrow a bit when she heard that before the female soldier shakenly remove her helmet.

To the duo's surprise, this guard was an actual Wood Nymph of all things and leafy hair was seen which flowed down her back.

The female soldier still shook a bit with fear as they look at her.

"Hooo… survival or not, seems like a dick move to screw people over in your own turf, granted if you couldn't fight it would be one thing, but since your a guard…" Emerald said with slightly narrowed eyes at the Nymph.

The Nymph then starts to cry before speaking.

"I-I know and I f-feel like scum. But it was either join or be… raped. And also…" She said before she starts to cry a bit more.

Emerald looked a bit sympathetic before he spoke up.

"Also?" Emerald asked when he felt that this story would get dark soon.

"They have my little sister. She's not fully matured.

But if I didn't join the cause they would…" She said before stopping as she didn't want to think about.

"What's your name." Emerald asked while shadows covered his eyes when his hair hid them.

Huntress Wizard, who was shocked at the story was having a similar feeling as well before the nymph spoke.

"Aiag." Said the nymph now known as Aiag.

Emerald than stood up while to the duo's shock, a black mist emits from Emerald's body that seemed both comforting… yet frightening when he looks down the path to the base.

"So Aiag, how old are you exactly?, know any magic that can allow you to adapt to various climates and for your sister as well?" Emerald cryptically asked while his voice took on a slight echoing tone.

Aiag was shaken up a bit after hearing Emerald speak like that before speaking up.

"I-I'm 19 and my little sister is 7. And honestly no, but my sister and I were both born to adapt to this weather."

"I see… anyone else there I need to help?... or are the others there aside from Canyon and your sister free game for me to kill?" Emerald asked when he cracked his neck a few times.

"There's a few more nymphs in that camp that are still held captive." Aiag said.

"Any chance they are used as guards… or… "Emerald said when he didn't like the later thought.

"Not as guards, but I heard some of the other guards say how they're planning to have their way with them as breeding stock." Aiag said.

Huntress Wizard was steaming mad when she heard this.

Emerald however surprised the duo more when more dark mist emits from him.

"Huntress… keep an eye on Aiag just in case… in the meantime… I got a base to exterminate." Emerald said while his eyes start to glow with a white light and the mist gave him a more demonic look before he got ready to run down the path after he grabbed his weapon.

Huntress Wizard was surprised when she witnessed that before looking at Aiag.

Aiag in turn didn't know whether to feel relieved or even more scared when she saw what was going on with Emerald before Emerald shot away from the duo with surprising speed… and from the look of things, he might shoot right through the front door of the enemy base at the speed he was moving.

Huntress Wizard continues to look at Aiag before speaking.

"You know… I thought it was treacherous of you joining the enemy and letting our kind be treated that way. But seeing the look in your eyes and the love for your sister, I can see you had no choice."

"Well… even so, I'm not expecting forgiveness from the others… but if it means protecting my sister, I'll sell my soul to Hudson in the Nightosphere if I have to… would you if it means protecting a loved one?" Aiag asked when she took a moment to glance to Huntress.

Huntress was taken back by that question before speaking.

"I wouldn't know. I've been alone all my life."

"I see… I am wondering one thing though about that scary guy." Aiag said when she wondered something about what Emerald said.

"His name is Emerald and he's working for Finn, the Ice Prince." Huntress Wizard replies.

"H-Huh?... Finn as in Finn the Human… Ice Prince… what?... " Aiag said when she got royally confused now.

Huntress Wizard raises her eyebrow before speaking.

"I take it you heard of him before his disappearance?"

"Wouldn't anyone?, I mean Finn was known far and wide as one of, if not, the greatest Hero of Ooo, but he vanished 4 years ago and no one heard of him sense, are you sure about this Ice Prince Finn being the same guy and not some kind of impostor?" Aiag said with a curious tone.

"Well according to Princess Bubblegum, who sent me and Canyon here to scout the Ice Kingdom, believes so, plus that Emerald guy said so himself. It seems Finn took the Ice Crown from the former ruler before putting it on and went to a four year sleep." Huntress Wizard said while Aiag looked thoughtful about what she just heard.

"I see… hope I can meet him then, I'm a bit of a fan of his and I hope I can get an autograph from him for my sister and myself." Aiag said with a slight blush on her face.

Huntress Wizard raises her eyebrow before speaking.

"Well perhaps that Emerald guy will take us to him, because I really need to heal and I know Canyon does too."

Aiag smiles a bit at that before she spoke up while the scene goes to the front gate of the base with two guards patrolling the top of the gate.

"I really hope everything works out well in the end." Aiag said while the camera got a little closer to the guards before a conversation was heard.

"... and even though she's massive, she has a nice figure… maybe when it's my turn, I can use those breasts to really relieve some stress or if she's too busy with the others… visit those Nymphs and really see how limber they are... hehehe…." the guard said with a lecherous tone to his slightly altered voice.

"Yeah… let's not forget the sister of… Uh what's her name?... Aiag?" said another guard.

"Yeah, she made a deal to help us with… collections and we don't touch her sister, thought the boss would decline but… huh?… what the hell is that?" The guard said when he looked back to the path and saw something… blackish rushing right at them.

The second guard stares at confusion when he tries squinting to see what it was.

A moment later, something shimmered with light like something metal was reflected off off a surface before it heads straight towards them… more exactly, the closed gate under the duo and to the two guards shock, the object smashed right through the gate like it was nothing before the blackish figure was seen… but the figure wasn't black, but the aura the figure emitted was while a chain led to a large tooth like weapon that was now embedded in and through multiple guards and it looked like they died without knowing what the hell just happened.

Some of the guards who weren't at the gate heard the commotion before they step out from their tents before one of them spoke.

"What was that?!"

The guard's question was answered when they all heard footsteps from the shattered gate before a single figure was seen in a brown to tan like cloak with a lot of blood on it that had a hood and mask on which hid the figure's features and a dark aura was seen which flowed from the figure while the figure recalled the sword like part of the weapon which sliced the remains of the bodies off and got more blood on the cloak while the figure looked around the camp with pure white cold eyes that showed nothing but malice to the guards around him.

The guards were shocked at the scene before one of them glares at the figure before speaking.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

The figure was silent from the question before he spoke up with a slight echo to his voice… and his teeth seemed to glow when he had a dark grin on his face.

"Well… considering I busted through your front gate… it should be obvious from what I'm about to do… I'm here to kill every single one of you fuckers, free the captives you have, and head home for a good nights rest, simple as that… and wanna know why I think that?" The Figure asked with a slightly crazed tone to his voice.

The guards shivered a bit before one of them asked the obvious the question.

"Um… why?"

"Simple... " Emerald said before he shot forward and stopped in front of the guard who spoke while his weapon was already heading towards the guards with deadly force.

"... you're already dead…" Emerald growled out before the scene shifts to Canyon's area of the camp a minute before screams of the guards at the front gate sounds out.

The captain of the guard at the time, saw that even with this freaky wind slowing things down, it would just be a few more minutes till Canyon succumbed to the mist before he spoke up to said Giant water Elemental women with a grin on his face.

"You know, it must be freezing in there… maybe you want to get warm thanks to yours truely?... I would be more than happy to do that." The captain said with a twisted grin under his helmet.

Near the group was two other cages that were out of Finn's sight, one was a group of Wood Nymphs in rags if they could be called that while the other had a lone young wood nymph who was wearing simple clothing which showed she had more importance than the group in the cage.

The Wood Nymphs and the young did not like what they heard while Canyon sent a sharp glare to the Captain before thinking.

'N-No… I-I… w-will not… succumb to this… M-Must… f-fight it.'

The captain noticed before he sent Canyon a grin before he walked around till he was behind Canyon and with a swift move, used an armored hand to grip Canyon's clothed breast with his hand and spoke up.

"Hehe, you may fight it but you can already feel it kicking in right?, the raw lust?... it's just a matter of time till you submit… I maybe a patient guy but how is this?, like the fact that your body betrays you?... and even if it's not me, you might as well jump the next person who enters this cage to get rid of that burning in your loins… you know I'm telling the truth right?" The captain aid while he fondles Canyon's breast to mess with her both physically and mentally.

Canyon's eyes widen at that action before she grinds her teeth to fight back a moan.

Even though she didn't want to listen, she knew that the Captain was right before thinking.

'Oh Glob… A-At this rate… I-I might have to… Hope Huntress Wizard got help.'

Meanwhile at the Ice Kingdom…

Finn, who continues to send a strong cold front to stop the mist's effects glares at the captain before speaking up to Simon while looking.

"This is bad Simon. Canyon is almost losing it. Hope Emerald makes it."

A moment later, a scream like noise from the sword got Finn's, Simons, and from what the images showed, the people in the camp when a greatly injured grunt ran into the area while he was missing his left arm which had blood flowing from it.

"C-Captain… H-Help!... M-Monster invaded… broke through front gate…. R-ripping through everyone with… massive sword." The grunt said before he fell to the ground… dead when he wasn't moving at all.

The Captain, who stops fondling Canyon's breasts, much to said water elemental's relief, storms to the dead body before screaming.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE DARK LORD IS GOING ON HERE?!"

The captain, and most likely the other captives who were thinking similar things before they all heard footsteps approaching from the shadows while a dark tone was heard.

"Simple… your execution for harming Finn the Ice Prince's allies and for being a enemy of woman here… but you… instead of a simple kill like I did with the rest of this base… I'll be making yours a bit special since I heard from one of the guards who were forced into your services that your one of the guys who took over this place cause you have a thing for wood Nymphs." The Dark voice said before a figure was barely seen.

The caged Wood Nymphs, the little girl and Canyon, who were shocked when they heard that voice before their eyes widen at the mention of Finn and wondered who it was that spoke before the Captain scoffed before speaking up.

"I ain't afraid and won't be intimidated by someone like you. SHOW YOURSELF!" He said before drawing his weapon.

The figure chuckles before he walked out of the shadows fully before his form was fully seen by everyone…which was covered head to toe in blood and the weapon and hand of the figure was covered as well… honestly with the shadows from the hood and the white light that showed the Figures eyes… he looked like a different version of death itself…

Canyon and the caged Nymphs were shocked again at the figure's appearance, but Canyon however… was feeling turned on a bit before thinking.

'W-Who's that hunk?' She thought before her eyes widen before thinking again.

'W-Where did that come from? Oh Glob. That mist is making me think strangely. Maybe that Captain was right. Although, I rather do that mystery figure than that scumbag here.'

A moment later the figure looked at the three cages before he spoke up.

"Anyone, maybe the kid wood Nymph there, know a person named Aiag?" The Figure said with a relaxed tone when he ignored the captain to see if it would piss him off.

The kid Wood Nymph was shocked when she heard Aiag's name before she stood up before speaking.

"That's my sister! Is she okay?"

"Well I gave her a fright when I killed the messed up guards near her while I met up with Huntress Wizard, but after a bit of a talk, I came here to rescue you, the other Wood Nymphs here, and get Canyon to the Ice kingdom, though I hope you all can wait while I take care of Rapey here." The Figure said with a relaxed tone while he points an unbloody finger at the Captain of the camp.

Aiag's sister, the three Wood Nymphs and Canyon we're surprised before feeling relief that they're about to get rescued.

Captain however felt insulted by the Figure's, disrespect before speaking up.

"HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!... Doesn't matter now. I knew that bitch, Aiag would turn on us. After I'm done with you, I'm giving that water slut and the kid something they won't forget."

Canyon and Aiag's sister pales when they heard that.

Finn, who was watching everything, was shocked when he finally saw the other caged Wood Nymphs and the little girl before he felt angry when he heard what the Captain said before speaking up.

"Give them… Hell, Emerald." He said even though no one can hear or see him except for Simon who agreed with Finn.

The Figure, or Emerald fell silent when he heard that before he sighs.

"Welp… you did it you sick fuck… Gonna make you beg for death before I kill you now."Emerald said while a dark aura emits from him while he walks towards the Captain with his cold gaze looking straight into the Captains eyes.

The Captain flinches a bit before he stood his ground before looking at his remaining troops who came running when they heard the noise before speaking.

"Don't just stand there. GET HIM!" He orders before the soldier charged Emerald who in turn shook his head before speaking up.

"Pathetic…" Emerald said before he shot forward and like last time, had his weapon pulled back for a swing in front of a couple guards before he effortlessly sliced through them through their waists and in their few second of life after words before they bled out… they said one thing.

"M-Monster…" The cut in half guards said while Emerald ignored them and turned his gaze onto the other grunts and charged them with his weapon at the ready.

The next few minutes were filled with screams of agony from the remaining guards when Emerald effortlessly cuts them down and even punched a few in the chest which caused them to either fly into a wall with a bloody splat or even punching through their chest cavity and he tossed the corpse into another grunt with a roar, and when the knocked down guard in question was busy with trying to get the dead guard off of him, Emerald raised his weapon and sliced the guard in half from head to toe and through the dead guards corpse which caused even more blood and guts to be thrown around the area while Emerald, or to the others living in the camp, the monster or Figure, continues to ignore the blood and guts hitting him when he continues to cut down one guard after the other till there was only the captain and a few remaining guards who looked like they were scared shitless at the sight of Emerald while he walked through the pool of blood and gore… it was like he was a demon among demons to them… bloody doesn't even describe what he just did and he did it without breaking a sweat…

The Captain along with the caged Wood Nymphs, Aiag's sister and Canyon were shocked when they saw Emerald killing each without breaking a sweat.

If they can see it.

Canyon however was still feeling a bit of the mist's effects before thinking.

'O-Oh man. Who is this guy? He almost reminds me of Billy.'

Emerald than shot forward and with a surprising show of strength, used his free hand to grip the captain's neck before lifting him into the air before he spoke up.

"So ladies… got any suggestion for this guy or mind if I do what I want to do to this fucker!"

Emerald said while he tightened his grip on the Captains neck.

The Captain gags a bit while the rest of the guards shivered with fear before the Wood Nymphs and Aiag's sister spoke up.

"Kill him!"

Emerald shrugs before he spoke up.

"Alright, one thing first since he deserves this."

Emerald said before he shocked all when he held his sword back and stabbed it into the captain's groin area and slashed downward which showed that when Emerald pulled away… the captain just lost his dick and what not and was still unfortunately alive while Emerald gave him a cold look.

Canyon, the caged Wood Nymphs, Aiag's sister and Finn, who knew that the Captain deserves this, cringes before Finn spoke up while looking.

"Ohhh… that's gotta hurt." He said before hearing the Captain wale in agony.

"AAAAAHHHH! YOU BASTARD!"

Emerald just let out a humph like noise before he spoke up.

"Considering that most women would say that to you than it's pretty ironic… but I am a nice guy so…"

Emerald said before he used his sword to decapitate the captain of the camp's head before he dropped the now dead body before he sent a slight glare to the remaining guards before he spoke up.

"I have a message for you to pass along to your army… consider it a lucky day for you… but pass along that if anyone tries to harm anyone in these woods which is now under the Ice Kingdom's control… than expect a bloody end… My name is Emerald, Ice Knight of the Ice Kingdom and Finn the Human, or Finn the Ice Prince, is now ruling the area… and he doesn't take kindly to guys like you who harms his people… Understand?" Emerald said before using some killing intent for the last bit to get his point across to the frightened guards while his eyes flashed with a white light.

Instead of answering, the remaining guards, quicky left the tent and eventually the base camp before Finn, who smirked at the scared guards before speaking.

"He did it. YES!" He cheered before asking Simon for a high five.

"Uhh… not really a high fiver Finn, you'll just phase through." Simon said with a raised eyebrow.

Finn felt embarrassed when he forgot about that before speaking.

"Hehe… sorry. Was caught in the moment." He said before rubbing the back of his head.

Meanwhile with Emerald...

He walked to the cage with the many Wood Nymphs in it before he spoke up.

"Stand back ladies, I'll bust you out in a moment."

Emerald said when he held his weapon out in a swinging motion and they all saw how large and heavy the weapon looked from up close… how did he hold it like that?

The Wood Nymphs, Aiag's sister and Canyon were wondering about that as well before the door to the three Wood Nymph's cage was bust open.

They immediately got out the cage before one of them spoke to Emerald.

"Thank you so much." Said Wood Nymph #1.

Emerald grins at the Wood Nymph before he spoke up when he pulled his hood back to speak to her properly.

"No worries, just wait here for a moment while I get Aiag's sister and… probably Canyon if she is in her right mind, and we can leave, Huntress is with Aiag so one second." Emerald said before he walks to Aiag's sisters cage before he spoke up.

"Hey Squirt, hope you have a name so I won't have to call you that again, hope you were OK until I got here." Emerald said with an amused look on his face when he tried to keep the tension low for now.

Aiag's sister huffed a bit since she didn't like being called squirt before speaking up.

"My name is Autumn." Said Aiag's sister now known as Autumn.

"Hehe, well nice to meet you Autumn, beautiful name for a Wood Nymph… now stand back, I'll bust you out and when I get Canyon, we can go to your sister and Huntress Wizard." Emerald said while he held his weapon at the ready to free Autumn.

Autumn did stand back and covered herself in case of anything.

A moment later, the bars to the cage were broken in half and Emerald used another to knock them out of the way to get rid of the lower ones before he stood back a few steps to let Autumn get out and to make sure she was OK since it was a bit of a drop to the ground for the small Wood Nymph.

Autumn was a bit shaken up but was indeed okay before stepping out of cage.

"Thank you." She said which made Emerald chuckle before he spoke up.

"No worries Autumn, hopefully if things go well, you, your sister, and these Nymphs here can live in the Ice Kingdom for protection if you all want to live there... no one was able to get into the kingdom yet so it's a pretty safe place, and I heard that you and your sister can adapt to climates so it should be easy to live there right?" Emerald said when he knelt down to look Autumn in the eyes while he smiles at her.

The Wood Nymphs and Autumn were surprised when they heard that before Autumn spoke.

"Yes it's true. Our father, who did some ice based spells, married our mom who was a Wood Nymph."

"I see, well ladies, give me a minute to get Canyon out and we can get going… though if she is affected by that mist… I may have to pull the entire cage to be safe… hope it at least has wheels..."

Emerald said while he sweatdrops when he looked to see how Canyon was doing right now.

Said water elemental tries to calm down a bit since the mist was now gone.

Emerald in turn approached Canyon in the cage before he spoke up when he pulled down the mask bit oh his face.

"So… you still in control or do I need to pull the cage?" Emerald said when he wanted to be sure of how Canyon's mental state was doing right now.

Canyon breathed a few times before speaking.

"I'm okay. Just need to stay calm but I'm alright."

Emerald nods before he moved around to one side of the cage which Canyon rests in and when he saw a decent amount of space between them, he then raised his weapon and he slashed the bars a few times and Canyon had a good opening to get out now… but Emerald noticed that she was bound and got a bit nervous when he felt conflicted on helping or not with Canyon in her current state.

Canyon sees this before speaking.

"I'm okay. Just need these binds cut off."

Emerald nods before he carefully got into the cage with Canyon before he angles his sword and lightly slashed at Canyon before the ropes binding her were cut and they fell slack around the Giant Water elemental.

Canyon sighs with relief before she starts rubbing her wrists a bit before speaking.

"Much better."

"Glad to help, can you walk?" Emerald asked while he hopped out of the cage and turns to Canyon.

Canyon manages to get out of cage, but when stook a step after exiting, her legs wobbles a bit before she groans a bit before getting down on one knee.

Emerald facepalms before he spoke up.

"Oh great… just… hold on and let me think… hey Wood Nymphs… what are your names?" Emerald asked when he looked to the three Wood Nymphs with Autumn.

The three Wood Nymphs looked to one another before each one spoke.

"I'm Summer." Said the first nymph name Summer.

"Sequoia." Said the second nymph in the middle.

"And I'm Pinetress." Said the third nymph.

"Can any of you use magic?" Emerald said while thinking Pinetress's name sounded like Huntress's for a moment, maybe a relative?

The three looked to one another before Summer spoke.

"Sadly no. The Captain drained our powers so we couldn't fight back. It might take some time till we're fully powered."

"Great… and if you could recover in a tree, how long would it take if I revived one of the dead trees here?" Emerald asked while his hand glows with orange earth magic… didn't he use something else earlier?

The Nymphs were shocked when they heard that before Pintress spoke,

"If you can, will probably be at least an hour or so."

"Hmmm… alright, I'll revive a few trees so you three can recover, I'll take Autumn and Canyon here to Aiag and Huntress… speaking of which… sorry for this Canyon but can you sit cross legged?"

Emerald asked with a nervous look on his face when he sheathed his sword on his back.

Canyon was curious before speaking.

"Um… yes."

A moment later, after Canyon sat crossed legged, Emerald walked to a few nearby trees and when he placed his hands on the ground, he focused his orange earth energy into the ground with one hand and magical healing energy with the other and the area around him grew grass and the trees around him looked healthy… they even grew leaves before Emerald stood up to admire his work.

The Wood Nymphs and Autumn were surprised when they saw that before Sequoia spoke up.

"Thank you sir knight. We'll be able to be at full strength within the hour."

Emerald chuckles before he spoke up.

"Just Emerald is fine, beautiful women like you three who endured what just happened is really to be admired if they didn't do anything to you yet, for now, hop in the trees and rest up, I'll have Finn send some ice and fire based beings to guard the place, lot of friendly fire wolves… there are even some that adapted to the climate and can breath frost based breaths and have a white and blue based fur pattern now." Emerald said when he sent the three woman a kind smile.

The three Wood Nymphs blushed a bit before giggling after hearing that before Summer spoke.

"Tell his majesty that we are gratefully indebted and will be happy to help him and the Ice Kingdom in any way. Even assisting you."

"Well thanks, but no need to repay us, it's the right thing to do after all, but if you really feel like that than just let me know if I can help with anything at all if you need the muscle." Emerald said while innocently saying that to the three wood Nymphs.

The three wood nymphs smile at Emerald before they went to hop on the newly regrown trees before they start to recharge their power.

Emerald in turn smiles a bit before he turned to Canyon and sighs.

"Uh… just to be sure before I do what I do, can you shrink for a short time since your a water Elemental and could change your form if you want?, or is that your natural size for a reason?" Emerald asked when he walked to and stopped near Canyon while Autumn walked near the duo.

Canyon looks at Emerald before speaking.

"I can shrink down if necessary." She said before she starts concentrating on going small.

It took about almost a minute before she was no longer a giant.

But she was still taller than least by a inch and a half.

However before Emerald could say or do anything, Canyon's body shudders before she starts to grow back to normal while pain shot through her leg to break her concentration.

Canyon grinds her teeth as she tries to rub her leg before speaking.

"Damn!... My leg's too hurt to concentrate."

Emerald facepalms before he spoke up.

"Of course... Sorry for this Canyon." Emerald said before he walked behind Canyon and to hers and Autumn's shock, Emerald gripped her ass with his hands before he shocked them further when he picked up Canyon and took a moment to steady himself while he leaned back to act a bit like a chair, made sense now for Canyon to cross her legs now but still... His hands did sink a bit into her her ass cheeks when he had to grip Canyon to keep her steady.

Said water elemental was indeed shocked at the position she's in before blushing a bit before thinking.

'Okay… that was unexpected. How strong is this guy? Plus no one else touches my ass since Billy. I should be a bit upset… but for some reason, it feels nice… probably thanks to that mist… but still…'She thought while Autumn was surprised when she saw Emerald carrying Canyon since she was bigger than him.

Emerald in the meantime blushed a bit while he tries to keep Canyon steady before he had this thought.

"Ok… really shouldn't think this since she was nearly raped and is still probably fighting off that mist stuff… but she does have a surprisingly soft rear for someone who seemed to train a lot."

Emerald thought before he blinked a few times and spoke up.

"Canyon, Autumn, mind being my eyes, I can't see in front of me so I'll need you got guide me past things, I remember the path back to Aiag and Huntress but there might be branch and stair issues we may have to deal with." Emerald said while he took a moment to adjust his grip on Canyon's ass which accidently tease her when he got a better grip on her.

Canyon jolts bit before blushing a bit big after feeling that.

Autumn however giggles a bit before speaking.

"Sure I'll help out. Let's go so we can see Aiag."

Emerald nods a bit before he slowly starts to step to his left when he remembered the exit being in that direction before he starts to step forward with Canyon and Autumn leading the way while the scene went to Huntress and Aiag a bit later.

Ooo/ Dead Woods/ Huntress, Aiag.

Said duo was waiting patiently, although, Aiag was very worried.

"It's been way to long… oh glob maybe he got killed and their already having their way with my sister!"

Aiag said while she got up and got ready to rush down the path where Emerald went.

Huntress Wizard went to the panicked wood nymph, before she put her hands on Aiag's shoulders before she starts shaking her before speaking.

"Just calm down. You need to relax. Emerald will keep her safe. Besides I'm also worried for Canyon as well, but I'm not in panic mode right. Just think of any happy thoughts like… what would you do if you saw Finn."

Aiag blushed a bit near the end, but before she could answer, some rustling the bushes nearby was heard which got the two women's attention which made Aiag look to the source with worry.

Huntress Wizard looked to the same direction before she readied her arrow just in case.

However to their surprise, they saw a small girl wood Nymph who was a stranger to Huntress… but to Aiag…

"AUTUMN!" Aiag called out when she rushed to Autumn with a relieved look on her face while she stops to kneel in front of Autumn and hugged her tightly.

"Hey Aiag." Autumn said before hugging back.

Huntress smiles at the scene before she approaches the duo before speaking.

"Sorry to interrupt this moment but where's Emerald and Canyon?"

Autumn took a moment to remember before she spoke up while scratching her cheek.

"Well…" Autumn starts to say before the scene shifts to when the trio walked back a bit from where Autumn came from… and if Finn was still watching, would see a shockingly funny, and painful sight with Canyon on her back… and Emerald was under her with one leg flat on the ground and his other leg was fully bent back and his head was seen which had a wide eye look that was full of pain.. Ironically he still had his hands on Canyon's ass which seemed to squeeze it more either from the pain or from him trying to push her off before Autumn spoke up.

"He… kind of tripped on a loose rock and… the big lady here… crashed onto him after he did the splits… I think he… might be… not dead… what was that other word… un… un… the word for knocked out?" Autumn said when she had trouble remembering the word.

Huntress Wizard sweatdrops a bit before speaking.

"Ummm… knocked out works. How are you... holding up Canyon?"

Canyon, who blushes a bit after feeling Emerald's hands, spoke up.

"Um… I can't say… but at least we're alive and okay thanks to him."

"Uh… is he still breathing?, cause I think he stopped moving." Aiag said with a worried tone when she noticed Emerald's movements slowly stopping while Autumn noticed the same thing.

Canyon and Huntress looked at Emerald to see if he's alright.

All Emerald did was barely raised his head before he spoke up.

"He….hep…" Emerald tried to get out before his head fell to the ground with closed eyes and he stopped moving entirely.

Huntress Wizard and Canyon sweatdrops before Huntress spoke.

"Hope Finn somehow sees this and sends some help."

And just like that, the group heard some big foot steps till they turned their heads before seeing three snow golems, along with four fire wolves led by Gunter as they approached the group.

"Wenk Wenk." Gunter said when he waved to the others before the snow golems moved to help Canyon off of Emerald while some fire wolves and apparently the ice version or Ice wolves approached the others.

Huntress Wizard was indeed shocked before speaking.

"Wow, so he must've did saw."

Autumn however just squealed a bit when she saw some fire wolf pups and ice wolf pups before she spoke up.

"Oh cute puppies!" Autumn said when she got ready to run to them.

Aiag was a bit worried before speaking.

"Autumn wait! Some of them are fire based." She said before she went to stop her sister.

"Awww… but look at them… their so cute… I never saw one in person before!" Autumn said when a few pups gave the duo the cute puppy dog face.

Aiag hate to admit it… but they were indeed cute.
