Adventure Time: The Awakening of Heroes!
I: The Gathering
Tale 1: A usual beginning!
Inside BMO's screen…
Two warriors stare at each other waiting for their fight to begin. The announcer starts the count: "3 – 2 – 1…GO!" The warrior on the left, an 8-bit ninja, makes the first move and starts running towards his enemy, an 8-bit pirate with a big black hat.
"WOW! This battle has become an explosive display of awesome techniques and extremely dangerous moves as the two mortal enemies drop blood and teeth everywhere on the now destroyed stage." The video game narrator exclaimed. "Things are becoming pretty intense as a powerful blow attempts to bring our battle to an epic endi-…"
"Aw fudge! Beemo's batteries run out! Jake did you remember to recharge Beemo like I told you this morning?" A young boy with a funny white hat with bear ears on top said.
"Define recharge." The yellow bulldog next to him answered.
"Jake!"
A large group of friends were sitting around the couch where two girls tried to kill each other, inside the video game of course. Most of them held a glass filled with "Pepcoke" soda and a bunch of popcorn was scattered on the floor. It was around 11:30 pm and the stars shined bright over the Tree fort, Finn and Jake's home.
They were planning to enjoy the friday night with a small video game contest as they did every month when its name ended with "-ber". The most expected fight was always between the most opposite rivals you have ever known; Marceline The Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum, but it seems that today wasn't the day to resolve their differences in the virtual battle field. Now they'll have to wait until September...and they were on December...bad luck guys.
"I'm sorry Finn…man I was busy preparing the snacks for tonight's video game tournament."
"What tournament?" Replied Finn a bit upset.
"Yeah dude how are we supposed to finish our match without Beemo, you genius?" A girl with long black hair said while hitting her head repeatedly with one of the controllers.
"Hey Marcy it's okay a least you were saved from being humiliated byyyy me!" Another girl said pointing herself with a big smile on her face.
"You? Haha what kind of joke is that princess? Or has the poor Bonnibel just forgotten that my ninja was about to destroy your pathetic pirate?" The black haired girl said comically.
"Oh yeah look at me my name is Marceline and I'm better than all of you stupid mortals!"
"Indeed." The vampire Queen said at the time she crossed her arms and raised her head up with pride.
"Ugh! You are impossible!"
"P.B., Marcy! Calm down there's no need to fight." Finn intervened jumping over the couch and sitting between them.
"See? Even Finn is more educated than you." Princess Bubblegum said pulling him close to her.
"Sure everyone knows ninjas are waaay much better than pirates." A smiling Finn said.
"Yes! …No…What?" P.B. said totally confused.
"Hehe that's my little hero. Give me five runt!" Marceline said sticking out her forked tongue at the princess.
"Yeah Marcy! ...Wait who are you calling runt?"
"No, no, please bro, ninjas are cool but I have to say pirates are pretty awesome." This time it was Jake the dog talking. "I mean just think about it: They are rude, they never bath and they live in the sea having adventures and finding treasures! Hehe I could write a song about it…ah the sea." he watched outside the window sighing.
"The sea? You mean the ocean right? You're sick man." Finn replied frowning.
"Don't tell me our big bad hero is afraid of the ocean! Hehe." Marceline said laughing over the couch while patting Finn's head .
"Don't bother he is working on it! Right buddy?" Jake said.
"Yeah…"Finn replied blushing a little.
"Hehe! And what about you have you worked on your…VAMPIRE PROBLEM YEARRRGH!" The vampire Queen yelled showing her fangs and making her eyes explode in fire. "Hehehe."
"YAAAAAARGH! NO! I MEAN YESSSS…"Jake screamed throwing himself behind the couch. "You know I'm not afrai…afraid of you any…mo mo more."
"Hahaha mo…mo…mo…" she said mimicking him "Really? Ha! Then why are you shaking?" she asked noticing his shivers.
"Because you freak me out when you do stuff like that. Any normal person would!"
"Hahaha I'm never going to get tired of this." Marceline said while passing her arm around Jake's shoulder without him noticing. "BOO!"
"Mommy!" Everyone in the room laughed. "What's so funny? Yeah! I still call out for my mommy. BIG DEAL! I bet all of you do!" Jake said somewhat offended.
"Guys! C'mon stop arguing about pirates, ninjas and stuff, I'm lumping bored!"
"Okay L.S.P (Lumpy Space Princess) do you have any other suggestion since Jake ruined our video game contest?" Finn asked.
"HEY!" the yellow dog replied trying to defend himself.
"Oh shut the lump up, you known it's true puppy, and no, I have no idea, you know what? It's getting late, maybe we should end this "party" and return to our homes. If I don't get a proper rest there's a chance that my beautiful face turns a little bit ugly…I don't want to take any risks if you know what I mean." L.S.P. Said.
"…Oh… sure? Beautiful??" Answered Finn a little bit unsure.
"YAAAAWWWNNN! I think miss beautiful here has a point." Marceline said floating over the couch resting her head on her own arms. "This is getting pretty boring, I have better things to do and I don't have the whole night…" "You know what I mean." the vampire mimicked L.S.P'S voice.
"I hate to say it but she's right guys, I need to get a good rest too, tomorrow is going to be a very important day", "you know what I mean." Princess Bubblegum said mocking the lumpy princess as well.
"Will you please stop copying me? Glob…." L.S.P. shouted.
"So I guess that's it for tonight, huh?" Finn said.
"Yeah, sorry for ruining the party, I can be pretty distracted", "if you know what I mean." Jake said chuckling.
"I SAID STOP IT!"
"Whatever, well, see you later guys." Marceline said flying outside the window.
"Bye Marcy!" Finn said waving at her.
"Okay time for me to go too, L.S.P do you want me to give you a ride?" P.B. asked while riding Lady Rainicorn's back.
"Oh, but of course! But you need to know that I'm living with my parents again…so you better take me to the Lumpy Space Kingdom fast or they will get mad at me if you know what I mean."
"Sure, now hold on tight I don't want to chase you if you fall off…you know what I mean." Princess Bubblegum said giggling.
"Haha…funny funny huh? HURRY UP! Darn it…" L.S.P. Said crossing her arms and turning her face away.
"Bye guys!" P.B. said taking off from the Tree Fort.
"잘 자거라, 아가야!"Lady Rainicorn said to Jake.
"Hehehe…bye girl." Jake said blushing.

After everyone leaved the two "brothers" cleaned up the mess on the living room and climbed the stairs to get inside their bedroom. A small candle next to Finn's bed illuminated their room. Jake's bed consisted of an opened cabinet's drawer with a huge grey cushion while Finn's was covered by various monster's pelts, probably killed by himself and an orange sleeping bag. I don't know why but both beds look very cozy to me.
"Hey Jake, even if we couldn't finish our tournament, it still was a great night, don't you think so dude?" Finn said while sitting on his bed putting and his red pajama on. "Oh I'd better put Beemo in his charge station…Here you go buddy!"
"Yeah even though things didn't go out as planned, whenever you are spending a good time with your best friends, I always have the feeling that everything will be all right." Jake said covering himself with his blanket.
"Whoa you sound like a philofffis-fifflosophiss-piss-peepee-poopoo…whatever."
"Philosopher, Finn. I don't know maybe I start saying strange things whenever I'm awake this late." Jake said yawning.
"Yeah…" he replied "Talking about strange things...Whenever I'm awake this late, I can't help but thinking in Flame princess…where could she be now? Does she feel alone? I'd wish she could have spent the night with our friends too…" Finn whispered staring at the ceiling.
"Finn, my little brother don't worry, I'm sure some day... she'll come back, and I hope she learns how to control her emotions because I hate getting a toasted butt…Glob it still hurts." Jake said rubbing his short tail.
"Hehe, I hope so too! Well goodnight bro." Finn said blowing out the candle in his night table.
"Yawnnn…Goodnight…bro." Jake replied finally falling asleep.
And so our heroes went to sleep…it was a fresh night, they've had fun and everything seemed to be all right…no, nothing could be wrong…or could it?

"Tralalala…you look so cute sitting in your boat…I wanna suck out your eyeballs and ripe OUT your throat…yes I wanna…suck out your eyeballs and drink OUT your blood!" Marceline sang while flying over the grasslands on her way home.
"Man it's late! I'd better hurry or the sun will come out and burn me…hehe!" she laughed at her own joke "It's good for a song…I'd better hurry or the sun will come out and burn me! Glob I'm a musical genius hehe!" A shiver went down her spine "Huh?" She quickly stopped herself. "I feel something strange in the air…" Marceline frowned "Whatever it is… I've felt it before…and I know it means something bad!" she started flying as fast as she could. "I can't let my guard down" the vampire whispered "I just hope everyone arrives home safely" she thought "Shoot... I've become pretty soft-hearted…"

Marceline is right something terrible is about to happen, the air was suddenly filled with a chilling breeze, and she couldn't help but to sense death around her…
What terrible fate awaits our heroes? Will everyone in the land of Ooo be save? Will Finn and Jake have the strength to fight it?...
