Chapter 2: A Long Cold Nap

Ooo/ Ice Kingdom/ ?/ ?

Everything seems quiet in the Ice Kingdom.

The only thing you hear is the sounds of wind blowing through some opened windows.

That is until you hear some cracking sounds.

You follow it till you stopped at this particular room.

As you go further in the room, the cracking sound gets louder till stopped at a certain wall.

The cracking sound emitted from the corner before spiderweb cracks were seen on the wall while a light blue glow was seen near the cracks which grew stronger and stronger while the cracking got louder and louder until the glow flashed and the sound of multiple breaking glass was heard before the glow fades to reveal a person where the cracked ice was before the figure stumbles on their feet and fell forward and lands on the icy ground.

The figure groans before speaking up.

"Oh… man. That was a bad fall."

A moment later, a somewhat familiar voice spoke up near the figure when a white see through shoe was seen near the Figure's head.

"I'll say it was, unfortunately I don't have a body so I wasn't able to catch you… my apologies Finn." The unknown but so somewhat familiar sounding figure said.

The figure, now known as Finn, looks up before his eyes widen in shock before speaking.

"Simon?"

The reason Finn said that was when the camera pulls away, Finn saw a ghost like Simon, but unlike the normal ghosts of Ooo, this Simon was fully human and from those videos Finn and Jake saw, looked sane to Finn, all in all, this Simon looked calm, kind, and was giving a small smile to Finn before Simon spoke up.

"Indeed, but before I answer questions, I suggest you stand at least, careful though, your body… went through a change of sorts while you were asleep… for four years to be exact." Simon suggests while also letting Finn know he was asleep for four years.

Finn's eyes widen after hearing that before speaking.

"F-Four years?!" He said before getting up.

He did felt his voice change as well when his hearing fully kicked in… he sounded… more man like, his voice didn't even break like it would have years ago.

Finn then looked down to see his reflection on floor before his eyes widen again when he saw how much changed while Simon spoke up.

"I also did you a favor and had Gunter get a charm for a normal skin tone so your welcome there." Simon said while Finn saw a much more maniler and normal skinned looking Finn than years ago, he looked a bit thinish but considering he slept for four years, it was a miracle that he wasn't a complete husk of his former self, a few good meals and a few workouts here and there and he could look like like a real mean lean wrecking machine again.

The young or the four year older Ice Monarch (A/N: He's 19 in the story if anyone is confused) was surprised again before he looks at Simon before speaking up.

"I-I don't understand. Why would you help me? I was the reason you got hurt and…" He said before stopping when he remembered his ex-girlfriend.

Simon looked to Finn with a sympathetic look in his eyes before he spoke up.

"No worries Finn, a lot changed over the years, you don't realize it but Flame Princess or Queen now has learned of Jake's and the Cosmic Owl's involvement and doesn't hate you anymore… but we have more pressing matters to talk about… in the years you were asleep, a person invaded Ooo and has taken over most of the land and its lesser kingdoms, only the Candy Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, and Slime Kingdom are free of control and some lesser combat inclined kingdoms have managed to hold their own but they fell to the invader after the citizens were evacuated, various resistance fighters led by Bubblegum, Flame Queen, and Marceline are being used to push back or disrupt certain battles and stuff but they had no real luck yet…" Simon explains to Finn with a frown on his face when he worried for Marceline.

Finn, who was surprised to hear that Flame Princess, now a Queen, was no longer mad at him, before he was shocked when he heard Simon's story before speaking up.

"Who invaded Ooo? Is Jake and… the others,... you okay? I hope Lady and the kids are okay

Is Marcy still angry with me? I mean I remember back then that you and her were friends. Or still are right?"

Simon chuckles for a moment with a partial humorless tone before he spoke up.

"Don't worry, she's not angry with you, when Flame Queen heard about what happened, she told Marcy and well… let's say that Jake had to deal with both a serious case of burns and various scares and a near throttling from Marcy, Jake got white fur from fright when he saw the two and how angry they were when he realized they found out what he did, and as for Lady and the children, or more like grown people since they grow faster thanks to the Rainicorn blood in them, they are either in the Fire Kingdom, Candy Kingdom, or the Slime kingdom to help with the resistance effort and act as messengers for the kingdom, Jake is fine, he's one of the main fighters and he helps handle the more muscle kind of missions with a group of strong fighter… as for who invaded… it's a being with powers like the Lich, possibly stronger than him since he's not obsessed with destruction which gives him a tactic like mind... but has enough… Mercy to bring actual living beings into his army if you can call forcing others into servitude a kind of mercy." Simon said with a bit of venom near the end since he didn't like other being forced to work for others.

Finn was shocked after hearing of a being that's more powerful than the Lich.

He did somehow chuckled a bit for Jake's misfortune but was glad that he, Lady and his nieces and nephews were okay.

"But what of old Ice King? Is he... or you okay?" Finn asked since he didn't get that answer.

"... he's fine but you remember what the crown said right?, I couldn't be returned to normal right?... well long story short, I was forced to reside in the crown while Ice King was given full control, ironically enough he was able to write more fanfiction and it actually turned out well, even got a book published believe it or not, but as for when he first woke, he was surprised to find out his crown was missing but he still had some basic abilities, he took it surprisingly well since it meant he could cast spells without the crown, and while it shocked most, Marcy mainly since she thought getting rid of the thing would get me back, had at least some relief that my body is fine, but long story short, I'm no longer connected to my body anymore, thanks to some twist of fate, you and I are connected but since you have your sanity for now, you still have control and I was put into this ghost like state, I can't go far from you for obvious reasons now." Simon said with crossed arms a moment later.

Finn's jaw dropped after hearing this before speaking.

"Well I'm glad he… or you are doing okay. But I can't believe, someone actually published his fanfiction. Also I thought for certain that if I wore the crown, you would be back to normal which would made Marcy happy especially with that cute smile of hers." He said before blushing a bit.

"Well considering that I now reside in your head which gave me ample time to view memories to pass the time... you spied on her not once but twice and even Breakfast Princess before that, granted it was a random sight but still wondering if it was really random as one would think since she was in a less than presentable state at the time, makes sense you fell for Marceline but I wonder about Breakfast Princess… speaking of which." Simon said with a half lidded look on his face when he mentioned the two times Finn spied on her in the nude and even him spying on Breakfast princess.

Said Ice Monarch's eyes widen with shock before putting his hands up in defense before speaking.

"Whoa whoa whoa… that was not my intention. I mean Breakfast Princess was indeed random. I had no idea she would do something like. Along with holding a picture of me. Don't know how she got it without my hat. But I will admit… she did have a hot body. And as for Marcy, I mean I had, or still do have, a thing for her but she said she didn't like me that way. But I never did told her my true feelings. As for the spying thing, the first time was actually Jake's fault since he said 'go scope the scene'. I didn't know what was I gonna see. And as for the second time, I was just testing out the eye part of my demon sword. How was I supposed to she was gonna… do that?" He asked while blushing big from the memory.

"... and looking back during the second time with Marceline instead of looking elsewhere when you first realized what she was doing was just part of that test?... I would be madder but I realize you never had the talk so I might as well explain things later since it would be important for you later." Simon said with crossed arms when he realized that while he was mad, he had to get Finn up to speed with certain… things… before the reality of what he did would fully set in.

Finn sighed a bit in relief before speaking up.

"What's 'the talk'? Does it have to do with tier 15? I wanted to know, but Jake told me to stay away from it. But I still don't get what it is."

Simon sighs before he spoke up.

"Another day perhaps, for now you should learn to walk in your older body first before you learn to run and fight in the way to survive outside of the Ice Kingdom, barrelling into a battle like you did in the past will only get you killed in the here and now since undead and other creatures are overflowing across Ooo, it may seem cruel but you have to stay hidden for now and regain your old strength and more before you can leave." Simon said before he waits for Finn's response.

Finn was hesitant for a bit before speaking up.

"Well… if I have to leave… then I'm going to need a disguise. I'm not sure if I'm ready to face them. You said they're not mad… but I still feel shame for my actions."

"Follow me then, I'll show you an outfit that Gunter managed to find and bring here, he's not here right now since he went for supplies, apparently he learned how to fight with that ice shifting sword, he even got a photo of one of his fights by a survivor recently who wandered into the Ice Kingdom and he rescued the survivor with some other penguins helping… it's over there, get a hang of walking by going over to look to it." Simon suggests to Finn to help him get used to his larger body.

Finn nods while wondering about this mystery survivor before he grabbed his demon sword and put it in his back before he starts testing his legs.

Standing up was actually easy, but when Finn looked down, he was higher than he normally was so walking… might be an issue when he had some vertigo issues.

Finn wobbles a moment as he one leg up front before moving the other.

It was a surprising struggle at first when Finn fell a few times, but after a few more attempts, he slowly but surely starts walking at a slow pace while Simon nods but kept quiet to let him focus.

About a minute or so, Finn was able to walk correctly.

"Nailed it." He said which made Simon chuckle before he points a thumb at the picture that was still quite a ways away… on bumby slippery ice.

"Let's see if you really nailed it then." Simon said with an amused grin at the look on Finn's face.

Finn gulps a bit before he walks towards the picture.

If the first few attempts was a laugh… then this was a laugh riot when Finn starts to ping pong around the room after a few steps while Simon had facepalms at the sight.

Finn groans as he keeps trying to get to the picture.

It took awhile but Finn finally managed to make it to the picture before he looked to it and saw… a surprising sight.

He saw Gunter on top of a pile of enemies while he held the ice bottle sword up to the sky while a thunderbolt looked like it hit it while a few female penguins were next to him while other penguins were jumping on other enemies heads.

The young Ice Monarch's eyes widen at the photo before speaking.

"Wow."

"Indeed, now to the next test, walking up a flight of stairs after getting back to the door on the opposite side of here." Simon said with a innocent smile when he points to the open door.. On the opposite side of the room… with a stairway being seen at the door which looked like it had a lot of stairs...

Finn glups a bit before he sighs a bit before speaking.

"This is not gonna be pretty." He said before heading towards the stairs.

The next few minutes to get to the exit was not pretty for Finn… and with gravity on the stairs working against Finn… it took him a full painful hour before he managed to make it out of the hidden room area before he was in the much smoother area of the Ice king's home.

"Finally… Made… it… up." He said while panting before Simon appeared next to him with an amused look on his face.

"Indeed, after we get you your new outfit and a bite to eat, you'll be going up and down these stairs for a few days to get some leg strength and balance back, and in and out of the room below for pure balance training, than when we get you good enough to walk, we can take things to the next step." Simon said with an amused tone at the look that Finn had on his face when the stairs and room was mentioned.

Finn would've paled a bit before his stomach made a big noise that shows how hungry he was since Finn was sleeping for 4 years.

The young Ice Monarch felt very embarrassed before speaking up.

"Um… you mentioned a survivor right?" He asked while hoping to the other subject.

"Yeah, sorry if I hadn't introduced myself earlier, but I was weak from lack of food earlier… would have been fine if that hadn't happened." A voice said from nearby while footsteps approach Finn and Simon.

Finn looks around for a moment before he noticed a figure coming around the corner.

The Figure for the most part, while wearing adventure gear with a cloak equipped that his most of his outfit, had a massive tooth like greatsword on his back while brown hair flowed down to the upper part of this back and he had glowing green eyes… for the most part… he looked Human… but that can't be right?

Finn continues to look at the male figure (A/N: Not in that way) before speaking up.

"Um… hello. What is your name?"

The man chuckles a few times before he spoke up.

"Names Emerald… nice to finally meet you Finn, I already heard about you from Simon here and that crown of yours so best I can say right now is this… good morning." The man, now known as Emerald said while he waved to Finn with a relaxed grin on his face.

Finn blinked a few times before speaking.

"It's morning?"

Emerald chuckles before he points to an open window before speaking.

"Hard to tell with the clouds but it is daytime right now, want some breakfast?, I'm making eggs and bacon right now, speaking of which." Emerald said before he turned and walked back to the kitchen when the smell of cooking food wafts into the room.

Finn looks to Simon before speaking.

"Hey Simon. Is he human?"

"Indeed, a few years ago, Susan Strong had some issues and after a few adventures to various islands by Marceline, Bubblegum, and Jake, they found an island of humans and a long story short, after beating a guardian, the humans on the island were able to leave and come here to Ooo, which makes humans a rare but normal sight nowadays and even a few sub humans were born, for example, did you know that while Marceline is a Vampire Queen, and a demon as well, did you know she was once half human?" Simon explains to Finn with a smile on his face.

Finn was shocked when he heard this before speaking.

"I didn't know. But seriously?! There were more humans? I thought I was the only one left before the crown." He said before he start crying a bit.

Simon just smiles at Finn before he spoke up.

"Well in any case Finn, they made a few towns here and there near the protected cities so you could visit at a later date, but for now, eat up, rest, and train well to get back in shape, cause before you woke, Emerald and I talked and he offered to train you himself, not only as a teacher but as a sparring partner when you get back up to stuff… and there is a human that is working with Bubblegum who is practically as smart as her… though calling her human now wouldn't work since he gave up her body long ago to avoid an illness and protect any remaining humans who survived it, her name is Minerva Campbell." Simon said with crossed arms.

Finn was surprised to hear that before speaking.

"Wow, that's something."

"Tell me about it, If I was able, I would have had a heart attack when I heard of the stories I've heard about those islands." Simon said before Emerald called into the room.

"HEY FINN, YOU GOOD WITH SALT AND PEPPER?, WANT THE EGGS COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH OR SCRAMBLED?" Emerald called into the room.

Finn immediately forgot he was hungry before yelling back.

"SCRAMBLE PLEASE. WITH SALT AND PEPPER."

"ALRIGHT, COME GET IT THEN, IT'LL BE DONE IN A MINUTE!" Emerald called back before he fell silent.

"OKAY." Finn said before looking back at Simon.

"Better eat first before training." He said before he starts walking to the kitchen.

It took a moment to find the kitchen and to get a steady rhythm of steps going, and when he got to the kitchen, he saw two plates with Eggs and bacon on them, one had salt and pepper while the other just had salt and Emerald approached the table with a pitcher of tea in one hand while he placed a couple glasses on the table.

"Hope you don't mind tea, best I can get from outside the Ice Kingdom without getting caught." Emerald said when he poured the hot tea into the glasses and they let off steam from the cold air around the duo.

Finn chuckled a bit before speaking.

"That's cool. I haven't had tea in a long time." He said before he went to grab a plate.

Emerald did so as well before the two sat down to eat while Emerald placed the heavy odd looking weapon on the table nearby, it actually made the table wobble but it held strong under the weight.

Finn was curious about that weapon before speaking.

"What kind of weapon is that Emerald?"

"Hmm…oh I call it a Spire Sword, this bad boy here has more under the hood than you would expect… for starters the weight helps with the cutting power and I would normally have to swing my entire body to attack with it, but thats because of the fact this weapon here has a few features to take advantage of the heavyweight." Emerald said when he gripped the handle, twists it a bit and pulls before a chain was seen that connects to the inside of the blade before Emerald spoke up.

"First off this chain allows some very wide attacks and with the weight of the blade, can be very devastating, and if you press a certain spot on the blade, a smaller blade can be removed for dual wielding, there are other things but long story short this blade has 5 forms I can use and those are just two, I can tell you the other three if you want." Emerald said with a grin while he returned the chain back into the sword.

Finn was amazed when he heard that before speaking.

"Mathematical."

Emerald chuckles before he spoke up again.

"Alright… first is the basic form here for its sword form, the second is the chain form, makes the blade like a flail if you think about it, third is the duel wielding mode for combos, forth is an Axe based form for raw slamming attacks, and fifth is a lance based form for charging attacks… all in all aside from the lack of real range like from a serious range, this blade is perfect for close to mid range battles and as a plus for how durable it looks, it can be used as a shield." Emerald said before he grins when he explained for 5 forms of the blade to Finn.

"Wow! Where did you get it?" Finn asked with curiosity which made Emerald chuckle before he spoke up with a slightly sad look in his eyes.

"Let's just say it was a gift from a father figure of mine who taught me on how to fight the way I do before he died… he went down with a death that most warriors would be proud off when he took down over 1000 enemies like a demon before he succumbed to his wounds… it was a couple years ago and he save the one called Flame Queen when the Dark lord tried to invade the Fire kingdom… he single handedly forced the invading enemy away… but…" Emerald said while his eyes seemed to glow with a pressure of sorts while his anger actually radiates from him.

Finn, at first was surprised to hear that this father figure of Emerald saved Flame Princess, felt bad before speaking up.

"It's okay. You don't have to say more. I'm sorry for asking."

Emerald just shook his head before he spoke up.

"No worries, I already explained the story to Simon and that's the main reason he asked for me to stay here, not only to protect you until you get to full power, but to teach you to fight not only like a real warrior but to be as stealthy as you can be, from what I heard, you normally fight with a chaotic style that just works with what you got right?, no issues with that since you think on the fly but you have no real lessons on how to properly use a sword right?" Emerald said while asking Finn that later bit.

Said Ice Monarch rubbed the back of his head before speaking.

"That is true, yes. And considering whom I'll be facing soon. I think it's a good idea to learn how to properly fight."

"Well get ready Finn, cause before my training is done, I'll make you a hero that will make Billy in his prime seem like a low grade hero in comparison." Emerald said with a confident grin on his face before Simon appeared with a serious look on his face when he looked to Emerald.

"Emerald, we have trouble." Simon said before Emerald looked serious before he scarfed his food down and drank his tea in record time before he picked up his weapon and looked to Finn with a serious look.

"Well Finn, seems you get to see my fighting style right now, follow Simon and get a good seat… cause your about to see why my father and I are considered demons in a battle." Emerald said before he walked out of the room while he shockingly carried the massive weapon with one hand.

Finn was indeed surprised before scarfed down his food as well before he followed Simon outside.

Simon led Finn to a high ledge before Finn saw a few penguin sentries with ice axes and surprisingly enough, guardian golems with a couple fire wolf pups near them while they were looking down to the field below.

Finn was surprised when he saw that before speaking.

"Wow. Gunter has been pretty busy."

"Indeed, now look below and see a few of what you may have to fight in the future." Simon said while he points down to the ground below, far below.

Finn didn't need to be told twice as he was to focus when he saw the intruders down below before his eyes widen at what he saw... And the amount of enemies down below.

There was around 200 enemies below in one area while Emerald stood at the far end while the terrain had various building like areas, good for cover but it looked like the area would fill in quickly from the amount of enemies about to enter the area.

Most were skeletons with a familiar green glow emitting from them while some where actually humans, fire elementals, and even a couple candy citizens here and there… all in all it looked like aside from some insane looking humans, Elementals, and candy citizens, the rest looked reluctant to be here.

"Oh. My. Glob." Finn said with a shocked look before speaking.

"The ones that are fighting with the skeletons, are they being controlled?"

"Somewhat, the more insane looking ones joined willingly when their thirst for battle got too strong… the reluctant looking ones… they were either forced into this or had no choice but to join… tell me, with all of the evacuated people, do you think all of them would get away?, some here are brothers and sisters protecting their families who are back in one of the captured cities as leverage, they do their job, their families are cared for, but if one tries to run or fails a mission and they live… the family pays the price instead to show the failures what happens if they fail... in a sense… it's even crueler than most would believe since the family you have would pay the price instead of you…" Simon said with a frown on his face when he heard things about the families of failures.

Finn was shocked at the info before speaking.

"My Glob. There has to be a away to free them. Save their families at least."

"Hehe… ironically in a sick way… the Dark Lord here actually uses the failure's death if they die in battle as a moral boost to the families so that they willingly join for revenge… I mean wouldn't you want your brother's killer dead, if he died in a battlefield if you could get the chance?, even if it was microscopic?" Simon said while asking Finn that hypothetical to show that for the people down below… there was only success… or death if their families are to survive.

Finn was again shocked at the news before he watches Emerald about to do something while Simon spoke up.

"Brace yourself Finn… your about to see why Emerald is all that's needed in this fight… your about to see the bloody elemental demon in action." Simon said when Emerald down below lift the Spire blade in the air and rests it on his shoulder before he leaned down and got ready to charge the army on the other end.

Finn wondered why Simon called him that before watching Emerald take charge.

A moment later, the army roars and charges while Emerald charged back… but when he passed by a building, he vanished for some reason while the Army continues its charge into the Ice Kingdom.

"Here's a lesson Finn on using the environment that others can't use to your advantage, even as strong as Emerald is, he won't rush them from that distance, he'll wait in a good location and strike when they tire themselves out." Simon explains to Finn as to why Emerald vanished.

Finn acknowledged what Simon said before seeing the enemy troops stop charging as they began to look for Emerald.

However, they have no idea where he went, thankfully for them, the Fire Elemental's with them helped the Human's stay warm before they got close to the building like objects and had to slow down when they start funneling them into a smaller area.

And that's when things got bloody for the Army and Finn who watched when Emerald launched from a building and lands in the middle of the army with his weapon at the ready to swing.

But before they could react, Emerald roars when his body emits steam before his body shocked all when he actually lit up with a fiery flame before he spun, twists the handle of the Spire Blade and the blade launched out and after going through a few people with some either losing limbs, or some getting cut in half before the blade itself lit up with a inferno that seemed to speed the blade up and a moment later, a cyclone of fire and a chain that didn't melt heats up before most of the people who were around Emerald got instantly killed before Emerald made a motion that launched the blade right into the air which pulls Emerald high into the air a moment later, all in all around 15 or so enemies died before they could react while about 8 or more were critically injured while Emerald looks down at the rest of the army with a cold look on his face when he lands on the roof of a building nearby.

Finn was like shock and AWE when Emerald does all that without breaking a sweat before thinking.

'Sweet Glob this guy is awesome. I wonder if he can teach how to fight like that. But this is bad. I mean with all the killing, it give this Dark Lord guy more means to use the victim's families. There has to be a way to stop this.' He thought before speaking to Simon while watching.

"Hey Simon. Is there a way for me to counteract the whole mind control thing?"

"... for this battle… no… this army has families who will die if they run from here and only success or death will save their families… unless you plan to take over every kingdom that the Dark lord took over and rescue their families… or kill the Dark lord to end this madness than I doubt you can… can you tell me if there is a way out of this?, cause if so I'm all ears." Simon said with his hands behind his back while he watched Emerald who got ready to attack again when he held his weapon to his side and this time a cold air was channeled into it which caused the blade to freeze a little.

Finn watched and wondered what's happening to Emerald's weapon before speaking up.

"What's going on with Emerald's weapon?"

"It's not his weapon per say but it can channel his magic into the blade Finn, Emerald in a sense has a unique kind of magic, a rarity in that he can wield multiple elements and channel them into his weapon, but the cost is that he has to keep a balance of sorts between them, for example, Fire was used before so Ice is next, he also can use Wind and Earth as opposites, and Light and Dark as a third set, I've asked about lightening and he told me he's not very fond of using that element since it's hard to balance that one out since he doesn't have an 8th element to work with so far so he has to let the balance go back to normal on its own which takes time, thankfully unlike most magics, this one won't make him go insane." Simon explained as to why Emerald can use his weapon like that and the magic he uses.

Finn was shocked when heard that before speaking.

"What's the 8th element?"

"Apparently water, but it would be hard for him to use it here since it would be frozen in this place so he has to stick with ice and Fire mainly, understandable right?" Simon said while a freezing wind blew by the viewing group.

Finn watched from above to see what Emerald will do next.

Emerald in the meantime jumped into the air with his weapon quickly shifting into an axe like form before he roared when he flew to the ground and he slammed the weapon on the ground right before massive ice spikes were created which quickly pierced multiple Fire Elementals and their bodies quickly fade before Emerald picked up his weapon from the ground while he waits for what the enemy would do next.

That's when some of the skeleton men start charging at Emerald.

Emerald in turn held his weapon in front of him before it quickly changed into a lance like form with parts of the blade quickly shifting before Emerald pulled the lance back while a gust of wind picks up around him… and when the skeletons got close… he leaned forward and a moment later was already through the skeletons when Emerald's charging attack was too fast for them to see when Emerald used the wind to speed up to insane levels.

That's when the skeleton men fell to the ground before Emerald stopped his charge to return his blade to its iconic greatsword form before he quickly brought a hand to one side, pressed a certain spot and the lower part of the edge half clicks out before Emerald gripped it and after a quick pull and spinning in his hand, he now held a short sword in his hand while his other held his main larger weapon.

Emerald than looked at the army when he noticed about 45 to 50 were dead around him and blood was covering his body already.

That's when Finn asked Simon.

"Could I simply freeze the rest of the troops to make it look like they're dead?"

"And when would you unfreeze them?, remember this Finn, the more you use the crown, the more it can corrupt you, remaking the Ice Kingdom took time but you had moments to let the insanity recede for now, but do you really think you could freeze everyone living there and not go insane if they fight back and you have to return fire?, unfortunately Finn, right now with you being as weak as you are would just hold Emerald back,it's aggravating, but you can't save everyone." Simon said with a regretful look on his face while Emerald used one more spurt of wind to launch himself at the army and he starts to look like he was dancing through them when he slash's by them.

Hearing this made Finn smash his fist knowing he can't do anything if he's that weak.

A moment later Emerald stops his attack when he saw that he took out a total of 60 enemies so far out of 200 before he stops for a second before he shifts his weapon into it's Axe form before he used some orange energy before he slammed the axe into the ground which made the ground lightly rumble to stun some enemies around him while some snow fell near Finn when the vibrations got up their level.

"What was that he just did?" The young Ice Monarch asked with confusion.

"He used Earth Magic with his Axe mode to make a shockwave to stun nearby enemies, he held back to keep from going over his limit." Simon said while he explained what just happened.

Finn was surprised when heard that before asking this.

"Can he somehow make an avalanche?"

"Err… yes but what does that have to do with what's going on right now?" Simon said when he was slightly confused at the request.

"What if I… use my ice powers to… create an avalanche… so the enemy forces get swept away?" Finn asked while not feeling happy about that.

"I wouldn't suggest that Finn… but maybe Emerald could…" Simon said before he vanished and appeared next to Emerald, who still had his eyes on the enemy who looked at him with weary looks before jolting a bit when they saw Simon.

"Can you cause an avalanche with the Axe mode and a lot of earth magic?" Simon asked which caused Emerald to blink his eyes a few times before he sent Simon a grin.

"Oh yeah." Emerald said before Simon nods and vanished while Emerald made his sword turn into it's axe mode before Simon appeared near Finn.

"Brace yourself!" Simon said while Emerald raised his Axe in the air while his body erupts with orange earth magic energy before he sent the Axe blade towards the ground with a roar.

Finn did indeed braced himself when he saw what happens next.

A moment later, the entire area rumbles with an intense shaking all round the upper and lower levels before things went oddly quiet for a moment and things were oddly still before a cracking and creaking was heard before Emerald used wind Magic to shot forward right when the snow from the upper levels under Finn's group broke off in many areas and shoot down to the lower levels… and with the amount there… the entire area was practically filled with snow and barely anyone was seen below when some enemies used the higher parts of the buildings to survive the avalanche… but where was Emerald?.

Finn, along with Simon and Finn's ice citizens were wondering where said warrior was at.

A moment later, they got the shock of their life when Emerald's blade flew over their heads and slammed into the wall nearby like a grappling hook while the chain itself was angled to be right under the group before they looked and saw Emerald hanging under them.

"Holy crap!, gotta remember that one for later!"

Emerald said with an amused tone when he saw what all of the snow did while the soldiers were digging themselves and others out while they were forced to retreat a bit to get to warmer areas.

Finn's Ice Kingdom citizens cheered at the victory while Finn then looked to Emerald with concern before speaking.

"You okay Emerald?"

"Well… I'm hanging in there right now so I guess... mind lending a hand guys?" Emerald asked when he had trouble planting his feet on the smooth icy walls next to him.

Finn sees this before he walks over and helps Emerald up with some citizens helping with pulling Emerald up before they saw Emerald sighing in relief before he spoke up.

"Thanks, and I could have taken them without the avalanche in case anyone's wondering." Emerald said while he sent a grin to the group.

Finn however didn't look too happy before speaking up.

"Wish I could've done something to help."

"Well considering you just woke up and need to get your fighting legs again, it's no worry for now since I'm going to train you like you wouldn't believe, and I prefer working alone mainly for the fact that my fighting style is more… brutal than others as you probably seen right?, not really handy if I have to hold back." Emerald said before getting serious at the end.

Finn took a moment to think on that before speaking.

"You're right on that. If I did aid you, the crown would've made me go crazy. If only I had something to help counter the crown's magic like a magic ring or something."

Simon however surprised the duo by chuckling before he spoke up.

"About that Finn… I may have a way for a Ring to be made for you to allow you more control, but that's for after you get your adventuring legs back, I can explain more later but for now, let's head back while I have a few guards keep an eye on this place just in case anyone down there tries anything." Simon said before he turned and vanished from view.

Finn was shocked to hear that before he and Emerald follows Simon inside before some penguins and Golems with fire pups begin their patrolling.

A bit later, the trio where back in the living room while Emerald placed his weapon next to the icy throne and he sat at the wall near it while he relaxed.

Finn sat on his ice throne before looking at Emerald before speaking.

"I will say this Emerald, that was one Nightosphere of a fight. I hope I get to learn stuff like that from you." He said with an excited tone.

Emerald in turn chuckles before he responds.

"Unfortunately the magic is tricky to learn and I think that Crown would be pissed if you learned other element based magic, specially fire, not only that but I don't think fighting like a berserker is for you, do you think you could fight like I can and even lift a weapon like mine with on hand?"

Emerald said with a grin on his face but got semi serious when he wondered what Finn's fighting style could be like.

Finn took a moment to think before speaking.

"Well… I guess you have point. Plus the only weapon I have used in the longest is my demon blood sword." He said before pulling out said weapon to show Emerald.

"Hmm… not bad, seems to have a good balance but is it really durable with that eye like hole?, I mean no offence but it could look like it could snap from a pretty weak attack." Emerald said when he got a close look at the sword.

Finn rubbed his head a bit before speaking.

"Well… it let me see things and certain people without anyone noticing."

"Indeed, even when they have a private moment." Simon said to throw his two cents in while Emerald blinks a few times from that before he spoke up.

"You mean….oh Finn I don't think power like that should be used that way… then again you are a 15 or 16 year old kid in a 19 year old body so I guess being curious overpowered manners." Emerald said while shaking his head while getting a humored look on his face.

Finn facepalms before speaking up.

"Okay first, what the ball, Simon?, and second, that was not my intention since I was testing the eye part of my sword. I wasn't expecting to see anything like that."

"Sure it was… and the thought of peeking isn't tempting?" Emerald teased with a grin on his face like he was teasing a little brother, seemed him and Jake would get along if they met.

Finn blushed in embarrassment before using his hands to cover his face.

Simon then said this to Finn to really mess with him.

"Maybe I should tell Marcy about the second time?, See if she would be calm after hearing about it." Simon said with a thoughtful look on his face while Emerald chuckles a bit.

Finn pales greatly before speaking.

"NO! Please don't tell Marcy this! She'll kill me!"

Simon hums a bit like he was actually considering it before he spoke up.

"Alright, but on one condition, this should be obvious but a drive to train is needed for this, so long story short, train like your life is at risk and if you make it to a decent level… I'll keep quiet… But if you fail… you are the one who will tell her… it would be better if Marceline hears it from you instead of another right?" Simon said with a teasing grin on his face while Emerald had a hand on the wall to support his body when he looked like he was about to burst out laughing.

Finn shivers with fear before he nods to Simon before speaking.

"O-Okay. I'll train very hard. Just don't tell her." He pleaded.

"If you get to a decent level within half a year I will not, but I'll officially start that timer tomorrow… for now explore this place while I get a few penguins to get your new outfit to your room, I'm sure pants like that can't be comfortable with a grown body like that." Simon said before he and Emerald saw how small the outfit was on Finn's body… and the pants… ouch.

Finn took a look at his old, emphasis on old, clothing to see that his old outfit was indeed too small for him before speaking up.

"Yeah… you're right about that. I'll be in my room till the penguins shows up." He said before getting and starts heading towards his room.

When Finn was out of the room, he looked to Simon before he spoke up.

"You were never planning to tell Marceline were you?" Emerald said while Simon grins and he made a shushing gesture with his finger.

"Well we need him to bounce back fast and what better than an angry woman he loves coming to get him if she heard of that, wouldn't you train like mad to avoid that?" Simon said while Emerald chuckles before he spoke up.

"You devious bastard… well I'll be training in the usual area, send Finn to me when he's dressed in the new duds." Emerald said with a grin on his face before he walks out of the room while hearing Simon say this to him.

"Right, now if you'll excuse me… I got a certain penguin to get after getting Finn's outfit." Simon said before he vanished while the scene shifts to Finn's room.

Finn was in his new room while sitting on his bed as waits for his new clothes while thinking.

'Oh Glob. I really need to train hard. I can't let Marcy know what I saw. Plus if anything, I can't let no one else know I'm here as well. Simon said that FP and Marcy aren't mad at me no more, but… I still feel shame for doing all those things to them. I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready to face them.'

A few minutes pass before light knocking was heard from his bedroom door.

Finn looks up before speaking.

"Come in."

A moment later, the door opens with multiple penguins bringing in various pieces of an outfit when it seemed too much for one penguin to carry before they start setting them next to Finn before leaving the room one by one before the last one salutes Finn and wenked before leaving the room and closed the door on the way out.

Finn blinked a few times before he gets up and looks to see what kind of clothing the penguins brought.

First was some long blue pants, they looked similar to sweatpants or some kind of loose kind of pants, a long sleeved blue general shirt was next with red and gold shoulder parts that had a blue cape attached that had a fur collar like attached, finally were white boots that helps complete the look, all in all it would look good with or without the blue skin.

Finn gave a hum of approval before speaking.

"Not bad. Definitely suits me." He said before he starts getting dressed.

After about a few minutes of getting dressed, Finn looks at himself in the mirror before speaking.

"Oh, this definite works. Wonder what the girls will think when they see me?"

A moment later Simon pops into the room with a thoughtful look on his face before he spoke up.

"Not bad, if you remove the skin color charm, than you could look like a genuine ice prince right now." Simon said with a slightly amused tone to his voice.

Finn jolts a bit before turning to see Simon there which made Simon chuckle before he just silently taps the area over his head to remind Finn about him and Finn being connected by the crown.

Finn facepalms himself for forgetting that.

"Anyway, do you want the charm removed?, I could have Emerald do that so it would make it harder for everyone to recognize you." Simon suggests to Finn with his hands behind his back.

Finn took a moment to think before speaking.

"Sure."

"Then follow the trail, it will lead you to Emerald who will begin the training by showing you what you'll be doing tomorrow as a demonstration, and before you ask, it's a thing I can do in this state." Simon said before he vanished and the room changed to look darker and a trail of footsteps were seen which led to the door while Finn's eyes gave off a bluish glow.

"Whoa!" Said Ice Monarch said with a surprise look before he starts following the trail that leads him to Emerald.

Emerald in the meantime was in a large room made of ice while he was using his sword for some swing based training before he starts to hear OW's, thuds, and crash like sounds before he looked to the stairs that led back into the upper levels of the castle.

The person that made the sound was none other than Finn, the Ice Prince just as he landed face down on the icy floor after he fell down the flight of stairs.

"Uhhhh… welcome to the training room… your majesty…need a hand?" Emerald said with a slightly humored/ worried tone for the Prince of Ice.

Finn groans a bit before speaking.

"No no. I got it." He said before he tries getting up.

It took him a few times before he was finally able to get to his feet while Emerald tried to help by looking away to help Finn keep some of his dignity intact.

Finn sighs with relief before speaking up.

"So anyway… Simon said you can remove the charm from my body."

Emerald blinked a few times before he spoke up when he looks to Finn.

"The Skin color one?, I can do that but I would have to go to Wizard's city and get a new one if you change your mind, they amped security so you need to make a call or something in advance and wait about a week before permission is given, security reasons it seems, anyway you sure?"

Emerald asked in case Finn had second thoughts about it.

Luckily for him, Finn did thought of it before speaking.

"Sure."

Emerald just shrugs before he raised his free hand and snapped his fingers before a poof of smoke was formed around Finn before it fades to show he had blue skin now like the former Ice King.

"There, if you change your mind, just let me know, but you'll have to wait a week alright?" Emerald said when he went back to swinging his sword with some simple patterns for now.

"Alright and thanks." Finn said while Emerald stops for a second to nod before he went back to swinging his weapon before he spoke up.

"So… you… going… to… watch… for… today… only… right?" Emerald asked between swings while a slight wind was emitted from him from the slight width of the sword making a fan like effect.

Finn took a moment think before speaking.

"Well… I was going to look around my Kingdom and find Gunter, but… I was thinking of using the eye on my sword to see how my friends are doing.

But not in a way you're thinking." He said before pulling out his sword.

Emerald chuckles when his thoughts were caught like an open book right now before he kept quiet so Finn could focus.

Said Prince of Ice sighs a bit before he looks at the eye before speaking.

"Show Jake."

A moment later, his sword glows in the eye like part before the scene showed a slight older Jake as he destroyed a few skeletons and looked to one of the guys near him who wore a similar looking outfit to him.

"Free those slaves!, I'll hold the line here, take some men for backup!" Jake orders while his fists turned into spike balls when more skeletons appear in front of Jake and his men.

Finn smiles a bit when he saw his brother fighting before pulling his head back before whispering.

"Don't worry bro. I help out some day." He whispered before saying a bit loudly at the next name.

"Show me… Flame Queen."

A moment later, and the scene showed Flame Queen when she was getting ready for the day, seemed she just woke and sat up from her bed with a tired look on her face more adult looking face… and it seemed time gave her a well developed figure, she now had C to D cup breasts, wide toned hips and the rest of her body looked well trained, made sense when a war was going on and training was needed.

Finn blushed a bit before whispering.

"So beautiful." He whispered before he shook his head before speaking up.

"Now Marceline."

A moment passed before the scene showed Marceline who was with Bubblegum right now while Bubblegum was working in her lab, seemed Marceline was guarding her or something since she had her axe this time on her back…. And thankfully she was dressed this time.

Finn sighed with relief that they're both okay and that the Vampire Queen was clothed.

Finn believed he got what he needed until…

There was someone else the young Ice Monarch was thinking about before speaking up.

"Show me… Breakfast Princess." He requested while hoping said royal wasn't doing what he remembered last time.

Ironically enough compared to last time… she wasn't pleasuring herself like last time… but she was doing something else entirely to really raise the blush of meter on Finn, and the location she was in looked like somewhere in the Candy kingdom, maybe a hotel or something.

Candy Kingdom/ ?/ Breakfest Princess/ Lemon alert/ Yuri, futa.

Breakfast Princess wasn't masturbating thankfully… but she was getting her ass fucked by another shorter humanoid woman who looked like a maid for Breakfast princess with a food themed outfit while the maid had a dick of all things and it looked like BP was really enjoying the maid fucking her ass.

"OH GLOB YEAH! KEEP GOING! DON'T FUCKING STOP!" Breakfast Princess moans from the intense pleasure.

The Maid could only pant and moan right now but she did speed up after she gripped BP's ass cheeks for leverage and it looked like she was getting close when her thrusts got erratic but managed to hold back.

Breakfast Princess felt her climax coming as well before trying to hold back as well.

"M-Milady… I… I…. I can't…" The Maid said when she felt herself about to burst in BP's ass.

Said Royal groans a bit before speaking.

"I-It's… okay. JUST CUM!" She moans before The maid just moans and groans right before she screamed when she fully inserts herself into BP's ass and starts to unload quite a bit of semen into her, and it seemed to have a syrupy kind of tint to it while the Maid shudders when she felt a lot of tension leave her.

"OH FUCK!" Breakfast Princess screams with ecstasy before her pussy squirted out some yellow like juices on the bed after feeling her ass getting filled up.

"O-Oh… M-Milady…." The Maid said before she pulled herself free of BP's ass and stumbles back a few steps before she straightens her outfit before she spoke up to the recovering princess.

"I-If… you need anymore relief... p-please call me, if you'll excuse me… I need to get cleaned up and help Princess Bubblegum and the others with the resistance effort, excuse me." The Maid said before she turned and starts to walk to the door.

Breakfast Princess shudders a bit as she enjoyed the afterglow of getting her ass pounded.

A bit later, the glow from the sword starts to fade but not before Finn heard BP say one last sentence.

"O-Oh...F-Finn. I... wish you were here." Breakfast Princess said while she had a slightly deeper blush on her face when the images fade fully.

(Lemon over)

Ooo/ Ice Kingdom/ Training area/ Finn, Emerald.

Finn was blushing big after watching everything

and hearing Breakfast Princess call his name before putting his sword away before speaking.

"Okay… I have no idea what I just saw but… was BP doing... tier 15? Why did her maid have …that? I can't believe she still has feelings for me after all this time. I wonder if the other girls do. I will say this but BP still has a hot body. But did I enjoy watching that while feeling… jealous?"

"Saw what?... oh you peeping prince, saying something about tier 15 just says everything… but what's this about a Maid and who's this BP person?" Emerald said when he stopped swinging his weapon to look to Finn with a grin on his face but got confused from the nickname BP.

Finn's eyes widen when he forgot that Emerald was there before speaking up.

"I said that stuff out loud didn't I?"

"Yep, so who's BP and this Maid?, and what's this about Tier 15?, maybe I can teach you if Simon can't, I heard that you don't know tiers so someone should teach you sooner or later." Emerald said with a grin on his face, seemed he has some similarity to Marceline in the upbeat department but the look in his eyes showed understanding so maybe…

Finn gulped before speaking.

"I-It's nothing. BP is short for Breakfast Princess. I like to give some Princesses, that I helped out, nicknames."

"Oh, and what about those tiers?, seems like you had an interesting sight with your body acting up." Emerald said while he points down with an amused look on his face.

Finn had a bad feeling where this was going before he looked down and was shocked when he saw the tent forming in his pants.

Finn panicked before he uses his cape to help hide it before speaking.

"Glob darnnit! Why is this happening again?"

Emerald sweatdrops before he spoke up.

"Well, I'll be blunt in saying that your aroused from the sight of a woman who was in a suggestive position or who got you hot under the collar, I'll skip a lot and just say this, but there are two ways to fix that, well three but first one is thinking of something horrible like… maybe a ugly looking ogre or something, the other is having sex, one of the higher numbered tiers with a woman or more than one woman, or… handling it yourself." Emerald said with a serious look on his face.

Finn was blushing big while feeling confused before speaking.

"Um… well I don't know what sex is, though I saw some happening to BP's butt. Unless there's more to this sex thing. Also I don't know what you mean by handling it myself."

Emerald facepalmed before he spoke up.

"Seems we got a crash course in Tiers right now before we can get to the training." Emerald said before he got a serious look on his face before he spoke up.

"Alright Finn… I'll start with the more adult tiers…" Emerald said before time passed to way later.

(1 hour later…)

"And that Finn is how babies are made, and why BP liked it up the butt or ass as some people call it nowadays, why she liked it as some women do as well, and how you can relieve yourself if you really need it… and even some of the more tame kinks that some women like... any questions?" Emerald said while pointing to a blackboard with diagrams of the human male and female body, various adult videos for visual aids, and even some paragraphs that explained why some females had penises equipped, from birth all the way to genetics and shapeshifting in various ways… all in all Emerald held nothing back when teaching Finn these and Finn in the meantime...

Finn just stared silent with his eyes widen after knowing what tier 15 was.

Emerald figured that was one of the reactions he would have and just moved around to clean things up before Simon appeared.

"Well Finn it's nearly...11 am… and what just happened that caused this?, his mind right now is in shock for some reason." Simon said while waving his hand in front of Finn's face before he looked to Emerald before his eyes widen from what he saw.

"Oh good Glob… please tell me you went easy on him." Simon said before Emerald shrugs before responding.

"No, figured he had enough of people going easy on him so I went all out with him… well almost all out but I think he had enough for now and can learn the rest himself." Emerald said before he opened a book near Finn's head and snapped it closed with a loud clap like sound to snap Finn out of his stunned state.

"Ahhh!" Finn yelled while jolting before speaking up.

"What just happened?"

"Our bio lesson and how the tiers work and what some kinks for women are remember?" Emerald said while he points to the stuff around them and even the reason the female maid had a penis equipped.

Finn did remember that before speaking while blushing.

"Oh yeah I remember. Surprisingly, even though the information is... shocking, at least I… understand what I'm supposed to do with a girl. Or if I ever get one." He said while feeling a little doubt.

"Well considering there are many ladies, and… some you peeked on you dirty dirty boy, I think as long as you can impress a lady or two, you might have some luck later, personally I wouldn't mind just watching two ladies going at it… I mean think about it, remember the shapeshifting things… what if Marceline and Phoebe got it on with one another and invited you to watch?" Emerald said while Simon facepalms before he vanished when he didn't want to hear about his adopted daughter in this way.

Finn blushed deeply before he actually starts imagining said women going at and him watching.

A moment later, Emerald cleared his throat to get Finn's attention before he points down again with a half lidded grin on his face.

Finn didn't need to look down when he realized what was going before he starts thinking unpleasant thoughts to make his erection go down.

A few moments later and it did go down which made Emerald chuckle before he spoke up when he had penguins handle the rest of the clean up and he grabbed his weapon from nearby.

"Well Finn, if you have any other questions, ask away, but if not, I'll be training, you head back up or something and relax or something, you'll need the extra rest and walk get used to the Ice Kingdom right now before we can really get training, I'll see you later." Emerald said before he starts to swing his sword around in certain patterns.

Finn acknowledges Emerald's advice before he decides to go to his room so he can rest.

Emerald chuckles for a moment when he saw Finn leave before he starts to speed things up to pick up the pace and catch up to his normal quota of swings before the scene fades to black.
