Chapter 1
A gentle breeze passed and the sun peeked out from behind a cloud—it's just another normal day in the land of Ooo. The birds are chirping and laughing from two brothers can be heard in the distance. Whether it's sunny or stormy, Finn and Jake have always sought out adventure; these last few years have been a monument to that. A branch snaps and the bushes rustle as the two step out of the forest and onto the grasslands, still laughing from a previous comment. Finn continues laughing as he is recalling the event, "…and then he was like, "You have destroyed my life's work, and for that, your misery shall be severe!""

"Severe my butt cheeks," Jake replied, "You showed that forest demon who's boss."

The two continued walking toward the treehouse. "Hey Jake, do you think that forest demons have souls?"

"I dunno man, that's something to ask a half orc shaman." Jake said.

Finn though about it for a second, "Yeah man, probs."

As the conversation died, their minds wandered off to other thoughts. Finn, wanting to break the silence, asked "So Jake, what did you have in mind to do today? We could go have a chill party with the water nymphs, or maybe we could find a turtle and teach it karate."

"Actually, I had plans with Lady," Jake said. "We are going to have dinner with the kids. Sorry man."

"Aw. I guess I will see if BMO has any new games. Later Jake."
"Later man."
The two parted ways, and Finn headed back to the treehouse.

Finn has grown a lot in the past three years. His once pudgy and young body has now matured into a slender 6'2'' frame, his shoulders have broadened, and his 'awesome' hat has been sized up, with locks of hair regularly poking out to brush across his face. In his recent years of travel and battle, he has gained strength and speed, making him even more dangerous to the evil lurking in the shadows. The constant battles have also given him plenty of scars throughout his body.

As he approached the treehouse, Finn picked up in speed. There was no real reason why, he was just bored and wanted to kick something. Finn kicked open the door. "BMO! BMO! BMO!"

"Finn!" BMO shouted. "I have been cleaning your room all day, even your smelly socks. Where have you been?"

Finn replied "Oh, Jake and I were fighting evil stuff. You gots any new games for me? Jake had plans with Lady, so that means I have nothing to do today."

BMO grinned. "Well lucky for you, I have a brand new game. It's called Cave Explorer!"

"Great; pop it in, Imma go grab some grub for my dump truck." Finn ran into the kitchen to prepare some snacks for his day of relaxation.

Several hours pass, and Finn is lounging around playing BMO. The sun is almost set outside, and Jake still hasn't returned. Lately, Jake has been spending the night at Lady Rainicorn's house. It doesn't bother Finn; hell, he occasionally spends the night at other chick's houses too. The only downside is that Finn doesn't get to spend as much brotime with his brother, but he figures that's just what happens when you grow up.

Finn gets frustrated and throws the controller, "BMO, this game stinks. I think I am going to go take a bath; my bod reeks."

As Finn hits the first step, the phone rings. Finn sighs as he walks over to see who would be calling at this time of day. "Hello?"

"Hi Finn," Princess Bubblegum greeted, "I need you to come down to the castle, it's very important."

Finn's heart raced. Finally, he had something to do today. "Alright Prubs, I'm on my way!"

He raced out the door and shouted, "I'm headed out, BMO. Don't wait up!"

On his way to the Candy Kingdom, Finn had time to think. He had time to think about all of the things that he went through in the past three years. The battles, the fights, the relationships, all of it just seemed like one big blur to him. It's like one day he is 15 and visiting farmers markets with Flame Princess, and the next he wakes up and he's 18 now and taller than Marcelline. Things seemed to have taken off after FP was called back to the Fire Kingdom. Her dad died and the kingdom needed a ruler. After that day, the two seemed to float more and more apart. Now; Finn gets an occasional message from Flambo saying "Hi", but he hasn't seen her in years.
After FP was out of the picture, Finn took a break from relationships altogether. He and Jake just destroyed evil wherever it popped up. They have even ran into the Lich several times and kicked his buns. Finn soon started going to parties whenever Jake was away and met some babes. He figured that it doesn't hurt to mess around with other chicks, so why not? They were more than willing. Finn the hero, who has grown up into a very handsome man, who wouldn't want to? But as the years passed, Finn couldn't help but think about his original love, the first heartbreak: Princess Bubblegum.

Finn reached the Castle and was greeted by Peppermint Butler. "Hi Pbutt, is Bubblegum around? She called me saying she needed help with something."

"Yes." Peppermint replied. "Right this way, Finn."

Finn is lead up the castle stairs he has walked so many times before. He doesn't need Peppermint to show him where he is going; this is practically his second home. "Princess? Finn is here to see you."

Princess Bubblegum is sitting in her lab, surrounded by beakers, test tubes, and note sheets full of all sorts of equations. There are several chalk boards that surround her, filled with illustrations, equations, and more nonsense. She looks up from her work and a smile jolts across her face. "Finn, I've been waiting for you!"

"Hi Prubs," Finn responded, "you needed me down here for something?"

Bubblegum walked over to Finn, "Yes, I needed help with a recent finding I made on an expedition to the outer Ice Mountains I took part in several weeks ago."

"Well what did you find that you need my help? Is it something I can fight?" Finn said while punching the air.

Bubblegum Smiled and grabbed Finn's hand, "Come with me, you'll see why."

Bubblegum ran do the back room and unlocked the door, still dragging Finn by his hand. "At first I thought I was mistaken, but I did some tests to make sure that this was the real deal. As soon as the test came back, I called you right away."

Finn looked puzzled, "For what?"

"This" She responded, anticipating his question.

Princess Bubblegum flung open the door to reveal a man in a cryogenic freezing chamber. Not a humanoid, not an animal, not a Minotaur, but a human man. He was wearing some sort of lab coat, along with a strange amulet around his neck. The man looked perfectly fine, save for a distressed look on his face. The princess looked over at Finn. His jaw dropped. She continued, "I found him in ruins. He was frozen solid. I ran every test on him. He is human, and seems to predate the war. As far as I can tell, he was frozen alive, which gives us the opportunity to unfreeze him. If we can get him breathing, we can learn more about science than we've ever dreamed!"

"He's…Human?" Finn muttered in complete awe.

"Yes Finn." Bubblegum said. "As far as we can tell, he is the last known human besides you. This is why I needed you down here. This is important to me, but it's even more important to you. I know how soul searchy and spaced out you get when you get when you think about the human species. This is a big moment for you. We both need to be here for this." Princess said as she put her hand on Finn's shoulder.

Finn came back to his senses, "Yes…Yes, I am ready! What do you need me to do?"

"Just go over to that lever," Bubblegum responded, "and on three, pull it down at the same time as I do. Ready?"
"Ready Pbubs." Finn echoed back, determined as ever.

"Okay. One…Two…Three!" Both Finn and Princess Bubblegum pulled the levers, releasing a plume of fog inside the chamber, blocking their views of the man.

The door to the cryogenic freezing chamber opens, and the man falls to the ground. He starts coughing uncontrollably. "PB, something's wrong with him. Save him!" Finn shouts as he climbs to the man's side.
"I-I don't know how!" Bubblegum says frantically while scanning his body with a hand held device.
The amulet around the man's neck starts glowing a light-blue color. He looks as though he is growing, and his clothes start tearing off of his body. The whole castle starts rumbling. Finn and Bubblegum both back off, shocked at what is going on. "What the nut!?" Princess Bubblegum yells.

"Princess, what's happening?" Finn yells over the now deafening rumbling.

"I don't know!" Bubblegum yells back.

The man now grows rapidly. His soft peach colored skin is now a hard gray. He has lost any human physical features as his body becomes rounded and heavy. The rumbling stops. The once man stands up as his head hits the ceiling. Where the amulet was now sits a shining light-blue sphere. He is no longer man, he is a golem.

The golem looks around to see both Finn and Princess Bubblegum standing nearby; both shocked at what just transpired. Then, the golem lets out an ear shattering roar that rocks the foundations of the castle. Finn snaps back to reality and screams "Run away, PB!" while simultaneously pulling out his sword.

Just after Finn yelled, the golem faced Bubblegum and with one swift motion, grabbed her. Finn, no longer thinking, yells "PRINCESS!" as his feet pound the ground faster than they ever have before.

He launches into the air and prods the golem's leg with his sword, making full contact. To his surprise, the leg takes no damage; his sword just bounces right off. The golem doesn't seem at all phased. He simply picks up his fist and rapidly strikes Finn. The hero flies into the stone wall, where he is immobilized. The golem, seeming content with this, breaks open a wall and walks away, all while Bubblegum screams "Finn!"

Finn, weakly echoes back "Princess…" before slipping out of consciousness.
