Adventure Time : A True Journey

 POV : FINN THE HUMAN

" Dude what do you think your doing ! Don't touch it ! " Jake yelled as Finn slowly and confidently reached for the book . He was wondering how Finn could reach for the book so casually . What if it was cursed !! Or maybe it had ghost germs ! This felt like one of those late night bed time stories dad used to tell them before they went to sleep . 

A strange event happening right after an adventure and bam , suddenly your cursed . Jake could remember always struggling to sleep after every one of those stories . 

" Stop worrying , it's just a book . " Finn dismissed Jake's worry already knowing what he was getting himself into . This was his inheritance . This was the wish he had acquired from the goddess given physical form . So in essence it wasn't just a book . It was his future in a way , his own path to power and heroism . 

If he remembered correctly from the minor information he got when the goddess had given him the wish , the book was called the Ninja Nomicon . A mysterious book that held the legacy of past ninja's and their mysterious powers from the Randy Cunningham ninja world . He could remember the book would usually pick the one that would be the next protector in that world but what about now that he had the book . 

Did that mean that he was the ninja . It was most likely so and Leo was excited with that information . 

His version of the book was even more important as from what he could understand from the info he got concerning the book , the goddess had modified it specifically for him to be able to use it fully . Which he was very thankful for as she was someone who he believed had terrible luck

Would abandoning it mean he would not get his wishes ! How could Finn let such a thing happen while he was at the very start of what he hopped would be a long life . Although Finn could be considered strong for a human owing to several of his impressive fits , the current him would not let go of a chance at getting stronger and the wishes were his ! He deserved to have them . Even if he wasn't the one who spun the wheel .

" NOOO ! " Jake shouted dramatically and Finn rolled his eyes at his exaggeration . He could see how Jake was also curious about what would happen despite his clearly exaggerated response .

' what a drama queen '

He touched the book and immediately a flood of information filled his mind . A closer look at his eyes would have shown them flashing red and black and instantly returning to their enchanting blue in an instant . 

POV : JAKE THE DOG

" Finn . . . are you still you . . ? " Jake asked his voice shaking already prepared for the worst . He was a little scared and worried . What if his best bud was replaced by a ghost ! Or even worse , a soul sucking ghost !! 

The silence was starting to become too silent for his tastes and he slowly started backing up one step at a time .

' Creak '

Jake watched as Finn slowly and creepily turned his head to look at him and he felt a shiver run down his body . He did not like how this was going .

'Creak , creak '

He started backing up slowly , his guard still not lowered . He was instinctually getting smaller the more he backed up .

Why was Finn looking at him like that ?

" . . . Finn , speak to me budy . . . WAAHHHHH ! "

" WRRRRRYYYYYY "

Jake was suddenly taken into the hands of this evil creature and he screamed wildly as he closed his eyes . He refused to die today ! He would avenge his brother no matter what !! But first he would run away . This was a battle he would fight on another day just . . . not today . 

" Hahahaha ! "

And that was when he heard the loud laughter . After he waited for his soul and brain to be sucked out through his nose . He heard the laughter and he knew he had been pranked !! He slowly opened his eyes and saw Finn laughing his lung out while wiping away the tears that had gathered . 

" Hahahha !" Jake couldn't help but find himself also laughing away . His earlier worries dissolving away about the book and about Finn behaving differently since he woke up . Yes , no matter how different Finn become , he would always be his brother .

Had he noticed how Finn seemed different since he woke up .Yes he had , he was the older brother after all . But Jake was assured with the fact that Finn was still a growing kid and would experience all types of changes . Or maybe that hit to the head had done something to Finn .

" Hahaha . . .huhhh . Well played Finn well played , but be prepared ! I shall have my vengeance , soon . Very soon ! " 

He saw Finn stop laughing and once again rest back on the bed with a slight scowl on his head . The book was placed comfortably on his lap and he rubbed his head in pain . 

" My head hurts again . " Finn said and Jake immediately went into mom mode ! He couldn't have his little brother suffer while he was still here . Or should they go to a hospital . Jake rubbed his chin in thought . Nah !

" Don't worry Finn . I'll make you some of my famous chicken soup and you'll feel as good as new . Be right back . And no more moving from you ! " He stretched his arms and pushed Finn back onto the bed preventing him from following him

Jake said and started stretching to the kitchen , hearing Finn laugh slightly as he went away . 

POV : FINN THE HUMAN 

Finn watched Jake stretch away and he felt a smile appear on him . He felt oddly normal with all the stretching stuff and that was comforting to himself . He would rather have not started to feel awkward with it . At least the memory merge had worked out finely . Apart from giving him a headache , everything so far was going great . 

His looked at the book rested on his lap and felt his smile become wider and why not ? The book could be considered a cheat and he would abuse it to the best of his abilities !

The books primary function would be to teach him everything about the ninja arts and all the powers that came along with it . Did this mean that the book was conscious , he had no idea but the idea was not completely impossible . As long as he was getting stronger , he did not have a lot of worries

Owing to the fact that their was a lack of the ninja mask that would act as his sort of armor , the book would in a way take over that role . He did not know how , he just knew it would happen . Magic and all that shenanigan

The book had also been further modified to help in his Haki practices . In short , Finn would not have to go in blind on what to do but would have a guide to help him on his part , which he was very thankful for . 

" No one can stop the grind , " He mumbled to himself already imagining future achievements

'Should I build a shrine for the goddess to showcase my thanks ' It was a thought Finn had . He did not know if it would work but he could try . 

And finally , a function of the book that truly made him want to shout out and jump around was it's ability to allow it's user to leave their physical bodies while their minds would enter the book . A sort of conscious transfer that every sort of training he would do possible in the future without causing to much harm to himself .

He could speed up his learning to great levels with this functions while at the same time preventing severe body harm to himself . 

The only true disadvantage he saw was the fact that his body would remain unprotected during this scenarios but that was a problem that was easy to be solved by planning ahead by putting his body in a safe area . Or by doing it at night when they were asleep .

He was not sure if he would be tired for doing so but it was something he would only know after testing it out .

Finn also understood that the book had other functions he was unaware of and that simply tickled a part of his brain that always liked a good old mystery to solve . 

" Huhh "

He leaned back on the bed feeling slightly comforted by the prospect of growing stronger but he also knew the world he was in was highly dangerous . Even now as he understood that this was a real life version of the adventure time series which lacked the filters of the original show he could not help the budding fear that grew in him .

And was It not a very normal reaction in such a situation , for him to feel this way . For this fear to exist within him .

Leo's original world was normal . No supernatural forces . No aliens attacking . Nothing . The only weird thing in that world was in fact himself . And that was why the prospects of the the cosmic monstrosities that existed in this world birthed a fear with him 

Finn clenched his hands tightly and breathed slowly , trying to relax the tension within himself . He felt disgusted with this weakness that had birthed within him , this irrational worry for the future . What he refused to do though to give in to his fears . a lesson he had learnt from his father .

" The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid , but he who conquers that fear ! " A wise saying from an even more wise man who Leo would forever remember , no matter how much he already liked this new life of his 

" Huhhh "

He felt his heart settle and his assurance and confidence grow once again as he released a breathe he did not know he was holding . Or was he just suppressing his worry ?

No , he could do this !

" Finnnn ! I've brought you your chicken soup~ " Jake came back holding a steaming bowl ready for him, his teeth visible from his wide smile and his tone clearly excited . Finn smiled at the attention remembering one clear thing

' He was not alone in his journey . ' Yes , he did not have to do everything by himself this time . There were others he could rely on . But was that something he wanted to do ? Would he let others do something he could do a better job at . . . 

Unaware to Leo as he was contemplating , the book in his lap had slightly glowed at his thoughts .

An event that had gone unknown to all present in the room . 

. . . . . . . .
