Disclaimer: I do not own Adventure Time. This is just a story for fun.

The group woke up the next morning and had a breakfast of berries and apples. Marceline played around with Hambo and accidentally brushed him up against a bush ripping a hole in his side. Marceline ran over to Betty holding the wounded teddybear.

"Hambo had an accident!" Cried Marceline.

"There. There. Don't worry I'll fix him right up. Hambo's just going to need a little surgery." Said Betty as she took Hambo from Marceline.

Betty reached into her backpack and pulled out a needle and some thread.

"Time to fix Hambo up." Said Betty as she began to fix Habo.

"Are you going to hurt him?" Asked Marceline.

"Sometimes you have to hurt things a little to make them feel better." Said Betty as she sewed Habo back up. "There the operation was a success." She said as she handed the teddybear back to Marceline.

"Thanks Betty!" Exclaimed Marceline happily as she hugged the teddybear.

"You're welcome sweetie." Said Betty with a smile.

The group were on the outskirts of town were they came across a toppled over mailbox.

"Ha-ha! Might be something in here!" Cheered Simon as he opened the mail slot and they all looked inside.

"E-e-ewww! It's a dead rat!" Laughed Marceline.

"And that's why you don't mail your pets." Joked Betty.

"Yeah, so it is, looks like we've got a cute new traveling buddy." Said Simon with a silly smile.

"Ewww, noooooooo!" Said Marceline and Betty together.

"Its kinda cute..." Said Simon with a giggle before closing the slot and the group continued on, until they came across a VHS tape on the ground. "Hey, check it out, it's a VHS tape. You wanna watch a movie?"

"Yeah!" Said Marceline.

"Movie time." Said Betty.

They all stared at the tape for a while.

"...Man, this is a boring movie." Said Simon.

Marceline and Betty giggled a little.

"I like the book much better!" Said Simon as he threw the tape behind him and they all laugh.

"You're so silly, Simon!" Laughed Marceline.

"He-he-he, yeah, I suppose so." Said Simon with a silly little grin.

The group continued on for a little while longer. Betty found herself an old tree branch she decided to use as a walking staff. When the sun started to set they decided to set up camp. Betty had a fire going as Simon came up with another way to entertain the group using a broken television. Simon set the TV up and gave Marceline a an old soda can to use as a TV remote.

"This is gonna be good." Said Simon as he ducked behind the TV.

Marcy made a clicking sound and pretended to hit the remote's ON button on the soda can. Betty sat down next to Marceline and watched. Simon sat up in the empty TV singing the piano intro to the Cheers theme song.

"Making your way in the world today, takes everything you got."

Marceline looked at the scene confused.

"Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name!"

"What is this?" Asked Marceline.

"Just a goofy old TV show." Said Betty.

"Filmed before a live studio audience." Said Simon before making a squeaking noise. "Norm!"

"Mute." Said Marceline as she tapped the soda can.

Simon moved his mouth without talking.

Marceline and Betty laughed, until Marceline started coughing. A look of concern crossed both Simon and Betty's faces. Betty went over to Marceline and put her hand to Marceline's forehead.

"Oh, no...um you're fine. Just a bit warm, but you should get some sleep. You're just tired." Said Betty.

"Ok. Goodnight." Said Marceline as she got into her sleeping bag with Hambo and fell asleep.

"Is she sick?" Asked Simon.

"She has a temperature, but it could only be something minor. Will just have to see how she's doing in the morning." Said Betty.

"I hope so." Said Simon before he and Betty went to bed.

The next morning they were awoken by Marceline coughing. Simon and Betty woke up and saw Marceline sitting and playing with Hambo.

"Hey! Good morning!" Cheered Marceline.

Simon went over and felt Marceline's head as she coughed a little more.

"Oh, you're even worse...I mean, don't freak out or anything, but we need to get you some... chicken soup!" Said Simon as they packed up the sleeping bags. "There must've been a soupery in that town, but I don't want you walking all...that way" he said before spotting a motorcycle.

Betty saw the motorcycle.

"Well...I guess that would beat walking." She said.

A few minutes later they were all on the motorcycle.

"Okay. You ready for a motorbike ride?" Asked Simon to Betty and Marceline who were clinging to his back.

"Mmm-hmm." Said Marceline.

Betty nodded as the motorbike started up.

"Okay, now we're talking. Just needs a little love-" Said Simon as he pushed the throttle a little too hard making the motorcycle move at an incredible speed and making it do a wheelie.

Simon lost his grip and let go. The three motorcycle riders fell onto their feet as the bike took off down a hill and crashed into a building below. The three travelers just stared at the wreck in shock.

"Okay, let's try something else." Said Simon.

"Something with a little less power." Said Betty as she spotted a computer chair.

A few minutes later Marline was riding the computer chair while Simon pushed it. Betty walked to the right of Marceline.

"Hey, Marcy, I wrote a song for you." Said Simon as he hummed a little tune.

"Your songs are sooo good." Laughed Marceline.

"Yep they are. Simon used to sing and play instruments all the time during his free time." Said Betty.

"You're a musician? That's cool. My mom was a musician." Said Marceline, before a sad look appeared on her face as she remembered her mom.

"Marcline..." Said Betty.

Simon tried to change the subject by spotting a soupery.

"Here we go!" He said drawing Betty and Marceline's attention as he tried to open the door. "Aw, it's locked."

A seconds later the computer chair was thrown into the window smashing it. The group went through the now broken window.

"Now remember vandalism is wrong, Marcy. But it...was ok this time." Said Simon.

"Okay." Said Marceline.

"Oh, everything's gone... except for these greeting cards." Said Simon as he looked at the store shelves.

Betty looked at a card. It read, "HEY OLD MAN..." On the cover, Betty turned turned the page to read the inside "Have a 'soup-er' 'broth'-day!"

It was then that the group heard a strange sound. It sounded like someone walking.

"Look!" Gasped a frighten Marceline as she pointed at a security mirror.

Simon looked at the security mirror; there was something walking down the other aisle. The thing in question was shaped like a person. It had green skin and it had holes for it's mouth and eyes that leaked with a glowing green slime. The group crouched down to the ground in fear. Simon and Betty got in front of Marceline to protect her.

"What is that thing? This-This is bad." Whispered Simon in fear.

At that moment the creature came down the aisle and stumbled towards the group like a zombie. Simon stood in front of Betty and Marceline reaching for his crown to fend off the creature. But the creature was too fast for Simon to put on the crown, so Simon did the next best thing. He clubbed the creature as hard as he could on the head with the crown. The creature fell to the ground in a heap. Simon looked down at the creature and nudged it with his foot making green goo come out of it. The three travelers let a cry of fear as they backed away from the creature.

"We're getting out of here!" Exclaimed Simon as he ushered Betty and Marceline out of the store.

After walking several blocks away the group finally relaxed and calmed down a bit. They were walking through a large concrete storm-drain. Marceline was looking a little tired.

"Hey, little lady, what about a ride on an old man's back?" Asked Simon.

"I can walk. I'm not a child, Simon." Said Marceline as she tried to look tough.

"Look, sweetie, someday you'll be too big to hold. I'm as old as garlic balls, and if someone offered to pick me up and carry me, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Take it when you can get it." Said Simon as he picked Marceline up.

Marceline then sneezed on his face and laughed.

"Gross. You're gross." Said Simon as he wiped his face.

"You're gross, Simon." Laughed Marceline.

"We're both gross, darling." Said Simon.

"Hey I think I see something up ahead." Said Betty as she pointed at something on top of a nearby bridge.

The group walked close to the bridge and looked up. There was a truck tittering off the edge of the bridge.

"A food truck! Might be chicken soup inside there.." Said Simon.

There was a strange pink substance hanging from the bridge forming a web like pattern. Betty touched it and then sniffed it.

"It's gum." She said.

"Well that's weird, but I think we can climb it." Said Simon as he put his weight on it.

The group climbed up the gum and reached the top of the bridge.

"Alright, now to get some chicken soup inside you-" Said as he opened the back door and found a bunch of clams inside. "Clams?" He said as he closed one door of the truck to see what name was written on it. "The Clambulance?! No, I need chicken! Marceline, cover your ears!"

Marcline did as she was told. Betty blushed with shock as Simon kicked and screamed at the Clambulance.

"MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER!" Screamed Simon.

At that moment another one of the strange creatures appeared under the truck and grabbed Simon's leg! Simon gasped then he kicked the mutant away as another creature came out of hiding from inside the Clambulance. Betty quickly struck out with her walking staff knocking the creature back into the Clambulance.

"Mother, Mother!" Cried Simon as he shut the door of the Clambulance.

Simon and Betty then started pushing it off the bridge with all their might until the Clambulance fell off the bridge. The Clambulance crashed to the ground and it's sirens went off.

"Clambulance!" The siren repeated over and over again.

This loud amount of noise apparently attracted a huge group of the creatures, who came rushing out of the city towards the group.

"Run!" Cried Betty.

The little group turned and ran as fast as they could. They jumped off the bridge into a nearby tree with the gum in it, they got stuck to it, but managed to pull themselves out of it with the creature in hot pursuit. A few of the creatures managed to get close to them. Betty managed to knock a few back with her walking stick, while Simon grabbed a nearby pillow and slugged a few of the creatures. But for every creature they took down three more seemed to take it's place. The group ran into a dark alley and found themselves at a dead end.

"Our butts are grass, right?" Asked Marceline with despair.

"Not yet." Said Simon as he saw a nearby wrecked car. "Get in." He said as he opened the door and ushered Betty and Marceline inside.

Simon closed the door and put on his crown.

"What are you doing?" Asked Betty.

"I'm going to face these things with this crown. Betty if...the crown can't stop these things I need you to get Marceline as far away from here as possible. I'll distract these things as long as I can." Said Simon as he faced the alley opening.

"Simon no you...can't! I don't want to lose you!" Cried Betty.

"I...have to. I'm the only one...who might be able to stop these things. You need to look after Marceline." Said Simon.

"Simon!" Cried Marceline.

"I'll...be ok sweetie. But if things go bad I need you and Betty to get out of here and look after each other." Said Simon.

"Ok..." Said Marceline.

"I love you both. Now stay down. Things are...fixing to get violent." Said Simon as he faced the alley entrance.

Betty and Marceline ducked down into the car as the creatures charged into the ally.

"You monsters are looking for a fight? Well you just found one!" Shouted Simon as he raised his hands.

It was like watching a force of nature at work. Simon's hair grew longer and flapped out like wings as he rose above the ground. Simon summoned all the power he could muster and a huge amount of snow shot from his hands and hit the creatures like an avalanche. In a matter of seconds all the creatures were buried under several feet of snow. Simon landed on the ground breathing hard as his beard and hair returned to their normal length. Simon looked at the scene in amazement and then he saw a can of chicken soup on the ground and then a pocketknife fall from some pink gum substance hanging over the alley. Simon ran to pick it up, but noticing a smiling face on the gum.

"Um...thank you." Said Simon as he eyed the gum.

He then ran back to the car and opened it. Both Betty and Marcleine came out and hugged him.

"You're ok!" Cheered Marceline.

"You had me worried to death." Said Betty as she kissed Simon's cheek.

"I'll...admit I was scared, but it worked out and I found some soup." Said Simon as he displayed his find.

"Yeah!" Cheered Marceline.

The group decided to leave the city and retreat to the safety of the forest. The soup was cook over a fire and eaten for dinner. Marceline started to feel much better. A few hours later Marceline went to sleep in her sleeping bag. Simon and Betty were still awake.

"So...what do you think those creatures were?" Asked Betty.

"I'm...not sure. But I have a feeling...that at one point they were just regular people." Said Simon.

"Another atrocity created from the war." Muttered Betty.

"Yeah, but at least they weren't so tough. We know my powers can defeat them." Said Simon.

"Yes. Well...at least nothing worse should come." Said Betty.

"Yeah." Said Simon.

The two said goodnight to one another and went to bed.

Little did they know something far worse was coming. In the center of a destroyed city there was a crater filled with vile green liquid left from one of the bombs. An ancient being was coming. A massive skeletal hand shot out of the liquid and grabbed the edge of the crater. A twisted figure pulled itself out of the liquid.

The figure looked like a twisted creature from some unholy nightmare. It wore a helm with curled horns, horrific green lights as pupils peered out of it's empty eye sockets, and pale undead skin was pulled tight against it's nose-less skull. The creature's skin was frayed away from his lips revealing a wicked and perpetual grin. The creature was dressed in robe of multiple layers. A large cape that was severely torn at its end. The creature's arms were bare bones with various decayed tissues, and it's skeletal hands burn with an eerie fire.

The creature only went by one name. The Lich.

The Lich looked at all the destruction with satisfaction.

"So the humans have finally done each other in. Good that saves me some trouble. I sense a new form of life trying to sprout up. I will take control of this world's future and twist it into my image. Then I will travel through the cosmos and visit every world snuffing out every light and life in the universe. Darkness and anti life will be the only things left." Said The Lich as he levitated above the ground and headed north.

According to The Lich's senses a new form of life created from candy was trying to emerge. The Lich saw a candy store and landed next to it.

"I shall infect a candy to be my servant and spy. If he encounters these new life forms, he will inform me about them." Thought The Lich as his eyes landed on a red and white peppermint. "The color of blood. This will do nicely."

The Lich raised his hand over the peppermint and a black burst of energy exited his hands and went into the peppermint. The peppermint glowed black for a few seconds then returned to it's normal colors.

"I have a feeling that candy will make a most interesting servant." Said The Lich as he left the store and continued north.

In the Land of the Dead, Death stopped tending his garden. A feeling of uneasy had come over him. He sensed something dark and familiar on Earth.

"The Lich...has returned. He's going to wreck the Earth and any chance it has to rebuild itself!" Thought Death.

And so it seemed that the Earth was destined to face a horrible fate, but fate had something different in mind for Earth.

To be continued.
