Hunson Abadeer flew across the ruined remains of Earth. Hunson was having mixed feelings over the destruction. On one hand he was excited and happy about the carnage and destruction, but on the other hand he was worried about Linda and Marceline. Hunson wasn't sure which emotion he should lean more towards. He was The Lord of Evil after all so shouldn't he be laughing and cheering at the destruction? But then he remembered that somewhere in this wrecked world a couple of the people he cared most for were out there suffering somewhere.

Hunson sighed he would find Linda and Marceline first, take them to the Nightosphere, and then come back to laugh at the destruction. Hunson kept following Marceline's scent north. Every now and then he would encounter some strange green creatures, which he would destroy with a burst of magical lighting. Hunson chuckled as he watched the creatures get blown to bits. Then Hunson caught a different scent in the air that actually sent a small shiver down his spine. He had no clue what it was, but it reeked of evil and death. Hunson also sensed that whatever that creature was it was incredibly powerful. Oh well the creature was far away and presented no threat to him for the moment. It wasn't his problem. Hunson continued on with following Marceline's scent.

Hundreds of miles away The Lich sensed Hunson's dark magical energy. The Lich considered going after Hunson and killing him and taking the source of his power for himself. Then the Lich changed his mind. There would be time for that later. Right now he was searching for a powerful energy source. The Lich felt energy coming from deep beneath the ground of a nearby city. He followed the energy to a large decorative subway station that was made to look like a castle with a large tower.

The Lich looked at the tower and though it would make a nice lair for him. The Lich saw some stairs leading deep underground and went down them. The Lich sensed he was much closer to the energy. He walked down a tunnel past the skeletal remains of several people and found himself on a train track. In the center of the room there was a hole filled with green fiery liquid. The Lich walked over to it and took a few sips from it. The Lich felt evil energy course through his body as he let out a cold chuckle.

At the cabin Simon was chopping some wood to make a fire for the coming night. Marceline was nearby with Hambo in her lap and hanging out with Betty.

"Betty...I saw my mom last night in my dreams." Said Marceline.

"You did?" Asked Betty.

Marceline then told Betty about her dream and the time she spent with her mom. Betty called Simon over and they took every word in.

"Sounds like your mom really cares for you and even though she's not here right now, she still watching over you." Said Simon.

"Your mother sounds like a very caring person." Said Betty.

"She is." Said Marceline.

"Hey Marceline can you tell us anything about your dad? I'm curious." Said Betty.

"Well...daddy was nice, but he had to go away a lot to work. He cared about me and mommy, but...he seemed cold and scary sometimes." Said Marceline.

"I'm sure your father didn't mean to be cold and scary. Some people are like that sometimes. Your dad probably loves you and your mom very much." Said Betty.

"I guess...so. I wish we could find him." Said Marceline.

Hunson was only a hundred yards away, when he heard Marceline's last words with his super hearing. Hunson smiled, he had found his daughter and she missed him. Hunson also sensed two people with Marceline. One was human and the other was mostly human, but he seemed different from a normal human.

Hunson brushed himself off a little. He would get his daughter, find out where Linda was and get her, and then he might suck the souls out of the two humans. Hunson's evil habit demanded fresh souls. Hunson took control of himself as he made his way towards Marceline's direction.

Marceline, Simon, and Betty were fixing to go into the cabin, when they heard a rustling in the bushes coming their way. Simon grabbed his crown, as Betty put Marceline behind her and ready her walking staff. The group tensed up ready for action. Then Hunson came out with a concerned look on his face as he saw Marceline.

"Marceline sweetie there you are!" Exclaimed Hunson as he raised his arms for a hug.

"Daddy!" Exclaimed Marceline as she ran by Betty and Simon, towards Simon and hugged him.

Simon and Betty relaxed a bit as they watched Hunson and Marceline hug. Then Hunson and Marceline stopped hugging.

"Simon. Betty. This is my daddy." Said Marceline.

"Hello there. My name is Hunson Abadeer. You have my thanks for looking after my sweet little girl." Said Hunson as he held up a hand to shake.

"Um...you're welcome." Said Simon as he politely shook Hunson's hand.

Hunson seemed nice enough, but Simon was starting to see why Marceline found her father a little scary. There was just something about Hunson that was rubbing Simon the wrong way.

"Marceline can you tell me where mommy is?" Asked Hunson.

A sad look appeared in Marceline's eyes and a few tears fell out.

"Mommy...died!" Cried Marceline.

A look of shock and disbelief appeared on Hunson's face. Marceline ran into the cabin and came back latter holding Linda's blacked and battered license plate showing it to Hunson. Hunson took the license plate and studied it.

"This...can't be! Linda you can't be dead! Surely she must still be alive!" Exclaimed Hunson.

Hunson just felt grief and anger. He refused to believe that Linda was dead.

"Hunson...were so sorry for your lose." Said Betty.

"She's not dead." Said Hunson.

"Daddy...I saw mommy in my dreams last night." Said Marceline before she told Hunson everything about her dream.

Hunson just stared off into space. Hunson knew about the power spirits possessed that allowed them to travel into people's dreams. What Marceline told him confirmed that Linda was indeed dead.

On Death World 51 Linda stared at the magic mirror. She saw the hurt on Hunson's face as he realized that his wife was truly dead. Linda wished she could go to Hunson and Marceline, so they could be a family again. Then a thought accrued to Linda.

What is Hunson going to do? Would he take Marceline, Simon, and Betty to the Nightosphere to live with him? Would he attempt to steal the souls of Simon and Betty for his habit and raise Marceline himself setting up a bad example for her? Linda began to freak out.

"I need to speak with Death." She thought as she flew towards the Underworld.

Hunson was just staring off into space, when he heard the voice of his Dark Side in his head.

"Well the wife is dead so what? Were single again and you can raise your daughter as you see fit. Presenting the new heir of the Nighosphere and hello vacation and freedom!" Said Dark Side.

"But I loved Linda. She actually loved me and treated me like a person. Linda would want Marceline to be brought up right and to let her choose her own destiny." Thought Hunson.

"Ha! You loved Linda because she treated you like a person? Don't make me laugh! You're a demon and The Lord of Evil! You don't need to be treated like a person. You can have whatever you want. Whose to say raising Marceline to be the next heir to the Nightosphere wouldn't be right. You'd be teaching her the responsibility to run another dimension, that sounds like bringing her up right to me. Your blood runs through Marceline's veins pal. It's her destiny to rule the Nightosphere and for you to be free to do whatever you want." Said Dark Side.

"But what about Simon and Betty?" Thought Hunson.

"It's simple. We take them to the Nighosphere, separate them from Marceline, and suck down their souls. Once that's done will just throw their soulless bodies into the fire and tell Marceline they left." Said Dark Side.

"I don't know...it doesn't feel right to lie to Marceline and kill Simon and Betty." Thought Hunson.

"Hello you're The Lord of Evil! It's in your job description to kill and lie. You love doing the wrong thing. Besides you'll be doing Simon and Betty a favor by killing them. It beats living in the Nightosphere or on this wasted planet. Marceline never has to know that we killed them." Said Dark Side.

"I...guess you make a point. It's in everyone's best interest." Thought Hunson.

"It is. Would I ever steer you wrong? Never! I'm looking out for you." Said Dark Side with a chuckle.

Hunson snapped back to reality and faced everyone. He looked at Marceline.

"Do you want to see where daddy lives and works?" He asked.

"Uh huh." Said Marceline as she nodded her head.

"Good." Said Hunson as he waved his hand making a dark red portal to appear. "It's time I show you all the Nightosphere."

Marceline looked scared as she took Hunson's hand.

"Everything will be alright." Hunson assured Marceline as they stepped through the port.

Simon and Betty glanced at one another before they went through the portal to vanish. Little did they know what trouble awaited them ahead in the Nightosphere.

To be continued.
