Adventure Time : A True Journey

POV: Finn The Human

Finn's new map was already showing its use earlier than he thought it would. 

It was well made and was very easy to read and understand as it had the general areas marked out on it. It did lack some of the places and things Finn was aware of, like the location of the crystal apple or the cave of Egress as well as other places outside of Ooo. . .

 Most probably Cornifer had been unable to yet reach this place and they were therefore not included.

But the map did have areas of the different kingdoms marked out as well as safe routes and dangerous places as well as what Cornifer had told Finn were areas with potential treasures. Finn would make it a habit of visiting Cornifer frequently.

Maybe he could learn a new skill as well as get to know about the hollow knight world he was sure Cornifer was from.

The piece of paper from the machine said that a group of villagers from Veggie Village were in danger and required their help. A supposed fire had started and this would require Finn and Jake to act immediately. As the fire could turn into a full-blown forest fire!!!

The Veggie village was also located quite a distance away from the Tree fort and they were also needed to make sure the veggie people were okay. 

" Oh, I know this place. " Jake said also looking at the map.

" Good, you'll lead the way. Anything important about the place I should know." Finn asked rolling his map, His preparations were already finished and he was ready to go. He did feel a little nervous though, the fear of messing up and costing someone's life was never easy to overcome.

" Hmmm. Well, the villagers are vegetables and fruits. " Jake said casually and Finn looked at him funily.

" A village called Veggie Village with fruit and vegetable villagers. So original! " Finn's voice was a mixture of sarcasm and humor. 

He had to see these supposed vegetable villagers. He tried to recall if there were any vegetable people from his memory from the show he watched but he had nothing.

" Hehehe, I know right? " Jake thought the same.

Finn quickly got on Jake's back as Jake started expanding and stretching his long legs. As he had come to know, this was one of the fastest forms of transport with how quickly they would normally clear the area to their destination.

This time, they went in another direction away from the farmer's market which he was quickly growing used to; Finn with his trusty sword and backpack and Jake with a basket of different sandwiches. 

Finn had already tried one and despite him being very sure that the butter Jake had used had a face and the milk screaming, the sandwiches were perfect!

A variety ranging from pork, fish, chicken, bacon, ham, and beef. Yeah, the sandwiches were mostly meat-based. Jake likes meat.

Finn was doing two things at once as the wind blew his majestic hair!

First of all, he was regulating his body using the Teingu flame that he could wield at the moment. 

Finn was doing this to just slightly exert his muscles to be in top shape. He was also trying his best to remember all the aspects of fighting he had been taught so far by the shogun. It might have been theoretical but it was still useful. 

He then secondly tried to map out the route they were using as Jake traversed the woods to the Veggie village. This was what he had agreed on with Conifer and Finn took his promises very seriously doing the mapping also helped him with his own navigational skills. You never know he could one day find himself lost in the forest alone, with a bear. . .

[ A/n: The author is also shocked by the above statement. ]

A distance away as he could identify from the map, Finn could see a variety of places that were present in the Forest such as the odd orchid of trees that had red apples present far off in the distance but this group of trees was closer to the candy kingdom.

The only person who ever dealt with apples in the Land of Ooo as Finn remembered was Tree Trunks. That small green elephant who made pies. Finn thought it wouldn't be so bad to taste one of those pies. And forming friends with the weird people of the land of Ooo, interested Finn.

Finn also needed tree trunks to lead him to where the crystal gem apple was. He had plans that would require its presence.

Finn took out the video recorder from his backpack which he had luckily been able to get to a working condition. 

The screen glitched for a while before a recording started showing as they quickly traversed the trees below.

" Jake, I've started recording! " Finn said as Jake's head stretched beside where he sat, quickly coming into the video's focus. 

" Hey everyone, I'm Jake the dog. " Jake said and smiled confidently, making sure to emphasize his pearly white teeth. 

" I'm Finn the human. " Finn said as he turned the camera to face him while giving out a wide smile despite his otherwise shedding teeth. 

"" And this, is the Finn and Jake show going on our first adventure! " Finn and Jake said at once making sure to show their excitement. 

This video thing was an idea Finn had come up with after seeing Jake's video camera that day. Not only would this popularize them to the people of the land of Ooo, but it would also allow them to save a form of memory from all their adventures.

Finn then went on to give a summary of where they were and what they were doing. He finally said what the adventure was about and he left the camera to continue rolling after doing this. Letting it take in the beautiful view as they traversed the forest.

Now, it was time to focus. 

" We are almost there Finn. " Jake said, his snout enlarging as he took a deep sniff. The smell of something burning became increasingly clear in his snout.

Finn could also smell and both saw the rising smoke that they were quickly approaching.

Even from where they were Finn could see the fire starting to spread to the surrounding trees, eating the otherwise very combustible fuel with a raging fervor.

 The only good thing from the situation was that the fire was still contained and from what Finn had been able to deduce from the range of the fire, there was a number of things they could do to stop it.

" We need a plan, Jake. " Finn said already thinking of the fastest way to solve this problem. There were a number of solutions and with Jake's power, the possibilities just kept on increasing.

For one, Jake could grow to his largest possible size and stamp in the area affected by the fire, but that could also cause damage to the Veggie people and their village.

Finn could also solve the problem using his own flame ability, but he was unsure how long his current control would take to solve the problem so he shelved the idea. It was not wise to try something he was still unsure of. There was also the possibility of making use of a ninja ball, a ninja water ball or even an ice ball, to be more exact.

Finn looked around the surroundings from up high, searching for a solution until he saw a passing river stream. A slight distance away and an idea solidified in his mind.

" Jake, head by that stream and start drinking. Make sure you hold it in your mouth though. " Finn directed still allowing the video to follow their actions. Finn hoped the veggie people were still okay.

Would the fire even pose a threat to them, that was something Finn did not know.

Jake's speed was fast and their arrival at the stream was faster. 

Jake's mouth elongated like a hose as he started drinking the water and storing it within his body. His body started bloating but his stretchy power allowed him to keep up. 

" What now Finn, " Jake asked his voice rougher like someone who was holding back a fart.

" Now stretch yourself into a showerhead and do your magic. " Finn informed him.

" Okay. " Jake replied and started to waddle off to the fire, the upper part of his head forming a sort of shower head. 

This was Finn's idea to combat the growing fire. Creating a false rain that would combat it!

Jake positioned himself above the parts of the forest with the fire and the shower head on his head let loose. 

" [ Drizzle Drizzle ] "

The plan was working and Jake continued to do the rest of the work as he moved to all parts with still a visible fire growing. 

" SIGH " Finn released an audible breath, his nerves relaxing. That was not very hard to handle.

One problem had been solved but another remained. 

" Who started the fire? " This was the question Finn wanted to find out as he approached the veggie village.

Would any clues remain now that the fire had already happened and been put out? The chances were low. But he could only hope the villagers had an idea. But now that he arrived at the village, Finn felt an increasing sense of worry.

"Where are all the villagers? "

Finn arrived at the village. Or at least what was left of the already burnt village and his heart dropped. 

There was no one in sight. Not even a corpse! Was everyone dead?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . Adventure Time . . . . . . . . . . . END

Introducing the Finn and Jake show!!! I thought of making this a sort of video catalog where they post all their adventures for the people of Ooo to see, and it also allows them to spread their name more. [ I think it would also be funny when Finn's mom finally sees it.

And yes, I don't think this was a problem that was supposed to take multiple chapters for it to be complete. If the solution is quick, expect a quick fix.

And most importantly, how will Finn handle his first adventure being a bust?
