Mikael finally managed to peel of Marceline's hands from his mouth and looked at her oddly. Why was she acting all embarrassed now for? He was quite impressed by how naturally her emotion changed from blood thirsty to smugness. But that was all right, it made her more charming even in a way.
Mikael then turned to the group of gnomes who had been silently watching the whole thing play out. A mixture of confusion and unwillingness in there eyes. But surprisingly they remained quiet, making the atmosphere creepy. Having thousands of tiny people staring at you with their beady eyes could truly be terrifying.
"Hey gnome people, I'm not interested. You all clearly lack taste and appreciation for the highest form of beauty! And I'm a boy. You all should scram now and go look for a Gnome queen elsewhere." Finn said clearly not really caring about the results of his words. He was also helping the gnomes by telling them to get lost. Marceline could only hold onto her anger for so long. But it was up to them anyway. Mikael was curious how someone having their souls sucked out would look though.
"You heard him right, get lost before I change my mind. "Marceline was quite unwilling, but she was in a good mood now with Finn's words. But that could change quickly if she were annoyed anytime soon.
"I see now…" Jeff looked to have understood something, a light bulb sparking in his mind.
"I understand now, the queen rejects us because of you grey skin!" Jeff said angrily and pointed at Marceline with a venomous gaze. Finn was sure until now he had never heard someone say the words grey skin as if they were some sort of slur, but it happened right Infront of him with such casualness.
"My fellow gnomes, our Gnome Queen has been led astray by this grey skin! She has been made to believe in the horrible taste and fashion sense of this one and has fallen for her lies. Even now she holds the queen captive!" Jeff shouted enthusiastic to his group and Finn could see how the mood of the crowd changed. The earlier innocent look of the gnomes was quickly replaced with animalistic growls. Their teeth sharpened and a viscous look filled their eyes.
Finn could not believe the level of delusion he was seeing. He had clearly said earlier he was a boy and somehow this gnome leader had completely disregarded it in his mind. Even worse was that he still insisted on insulting Marceline. Did these gnomes not fear for their lives at all.
"You should probably stop…" Finn tried warning them only to be cut off once more.
"My Gnome army, for our tomorrow, for our prosperity and for the safety of the queen, ATTACCKKKKK! Attack to save the queen!" Jeff ordered, his impassioned voice echoing loudly. Their was deep passion in his voice, and he somehow managed to sound convincing.
"Save the queen!"
"Save the queen!"
"Save the queen!"
The gnomes shouted, their once innocent looks replaced with savageness as they all rushed forward, a madness in their steps and a resolve in their eyes.
Countless pairs of feet charged, countless of the jumped from the trees all in one tsunami to drown them completely.
It was quite intimidating, but Finn was not that worried. If he had been alone, it would have been a problem. But the fact was that he was not alone. And the person who the gnomes had insulted so greatly was not him but the now angry vampire girl whose expression was quickly deforming.
"Finn, you stay put. Ill handle this. "Marceline's eyes turned a dangerous shade of red, and her face deformed to be more vampire looking. The aura around her was quite evil right now.
Marceline then raised her arm and transformed it into an enlarged black limb; she then did a 360 degree sweep all round crushing into all the gnomes who had jumped out and were running towards them. The unfortunate to be hit gnomes started groaning in pain and crying out. But the majority still rushed forward.
Marceline changed once more, her body morphing into a large bat monster and she roared to the sky.
"ROAR!"
For the first time, he saw how her transformation instantly inspired fear into the countless gnomes. They had met an apex predator and unfortunately for them, they were not qualified to be in its presence.
"Oh shit." He heard Jeff mutter as he slowly started backing away, finally realizing the stupidity of what they wanted to do. But something, madness seemed to have filled his resolve.
"Show no fear my fellow Gnomes, all hope is not yet lost. As you all can see, the deceiver of the queen has finally decided to show its true face! Look upon its ugly visage! Do net the life of the queen be lost my brothers. Charge forward, overwhelm the beast with our numbers!" The gnomes were inspired once more and charged on to their demise.
Finn was more impressed with how Jeff still managed to anger Marceline while making his entire speech. Did he completely lack fear or something? Or could it be that he had some sort of backup plan, Finn could only wait and see.
Marceline was making easy work of the Gnomes, a stack of them jumping at her were swatted away with slaps, the unfortunate ones trying to pelt her with rocks were slammed to the ground, the unlucky ones running up to her would receive a punch that sent them flying away.
Finn saw how countless gnomes would receive this beating slam on the ground and start vomiting rainbow like matter. It was an interesting thing to see. A mixture of interesting and disgusting.
Marceline could not manage everything though. Those few that managed to get past her to kidnap him would be met with a blast of fire in the face.
Finn was also becoming quite creative in how he used his flames. He had realized the only limits to them were the ones he put himself, so he would let go and let his imagination run wild.
A fire whip lashed out, sending the gnomes charging at him away. Another fie spear would blast from his hands, bursting into a large congregation where they gathered, launching the unfortunate gnomes into the air.
Finn even started practicing target practice, sniping at the gnomes, with fire arrows, off course he controlled the fire output, so it acted more of a painful explosion than an actual killing weapon which was quite more effective. The gnomes that had been blasted so far did not look to be in any condition to come back and try and attack him.
Marceline was the one doing most of the work, mostly because she was the one being attacked for most of the time, she would shift between her large form to crush large groups to her small form to swiftly dodge between the countless gnomes. Her wings would expand hugely, and a single flap would blast all the gnomes away.
She would raise her arms, and countless gnomes would follow the motion, levitating in the air with the motion and she would flick her hands, blasting the gnomes away with her telekinesis. Marceline's anger had lessened at this time, and she was now just toying with the Gnomes.
They were now a truly pitiful sight. Bodies strewn all over, faces punched, rainbow vomit everywhere, some parts of the forest burnt. It was like the aftereffects of a war. And the one that had caused all this floated over casually towards him, the happiness in her expression clearly visible. She stretched comfortably and came beside him once more.
"That was a nice workout, I feel even better than earlier!" Her joints cracked loudly, and her smile only widened further.
"So, what do you think Finn, are you afraid of me now!" Marceline once again got up to his face. Close enough that it was possible for them to hear each other's breathing. She had zero regard for personal space. Lucky for her, she was completely his type!
"I have a question…" Finn also moved closer and took her face in his arms, making their eye contact more intense. Blue eyes meeting green.
"What?" Marceline asked curiously, but even she herself did not know how she would react if Finn answered wrongly. A dark look came into her eyes.
"So, when you transform do your clothes change to or are you wearing magical clothes. What's up with that?" This was truly an important question to him. Where exactly were her clothes going? Or could they be stored within her body during her transformations.
Marceline was stumped by his question. Give her back her expectations! She wanted to shout out at Finn, but she found herself bursting out in laughter at his question.
"That is a good question Finn, I guess you'll just have to stick around long enough to find out." Marceline said so while smiling. She took Finn into her arms and spun around happily. What was the reason for her joy was she herself was unaware of. She was just simply happy!
Added with the fact Finn smelled good enough to act as an emergency Food source, Marceline was quite happy to keep him around…
