Chapter Text
It was a brand new time for the land of Oo, the time when the humans survivors were returning to Oo. Finn's Mom, Minerva, picked the human settlement in a forest near the Ocean, giving ample amount of food and water to provide. Neighbor kingdoms aided the human settlement; The Candy Kingdom especially with Princess Bubblegum giving out candy treats but more importantly science tech to make it easier for their new neighbors. The humans were absolutely amazed by the Land of Ooo. Creatures never before seen left them in awe, excited, and feeling hungry for a taste of venturing out into the land. But there was one fact, they sucked at trying to live in this new world.
A lot of cases happened when the human survivors just went a little too far from the settlement, only to get either trapped by harmful plant life or scared to the bones from a laughing mountain, and then getting saved by Finn and Jake. Not only that, Minerva was working on day to night to day basis keeping sure that the humans that did go out of the settlement, then came were examined for wounds or diseases. Recently foxes along with an ogre are now a problem for the humans, bullying them. But still even with the threats of Ooo, the humans kept on venturing forth only to still again be in danger and then rescued by Finn and Jake.
It was getting real old, Finn and Jake were playing babysitters rather heroes. The hero duo rested near the human settlement on top of a tree, looking down at the settlement. Finn could see in the distance his mom's robots working.
"Man my mom is really pushing herself hard, me too. If I wasn't a living bod with blood and stuff like my mom, I think computers feels stress" Finn said.
"I get yah, I mean if I had to check and patch up people every hour without eat or sleep I'd probably just leave"
"Must be hard on mom, I mean she's practically the only one running the settlement."
"Doesn't she have those robots? I mean she isn't the only one running it"
"Well it's connected to her head, or conscience. It doesn't count"
"Why don't we just get some guards from the some kingdoms to guard the humans for a while? I'm pretty sure Princess Bubblegum could send some Banana Guards or even make some of those giant Gumball Guardians" Jake suggested.
"Pfff The Banana Guards aren't that tough, not insulting them or anything but that's just true and the Gumball Guardians would just freak them out even more"
"How about getting more robot bods for your mom to control, I mean that make things much easier" Jake then suggested.
"Nah Jake, I think my mom is already having a hard time. Adding more just piles it up"
"Well we can't just keep saving their butts if an ogre, witch, fox gangs, and that doesn't even count the knife rain"
"Hmmmmm" Finn hummed thinking of a way. He looked back of what Jake said to him about a new generation and thought struck at him. He energetically said "I know! we teach my peeps how to survive in Ooo. I thought maybe they could learn on their own like I did but the path is clear as the sun's ray, we'll teach them"
Jake sighed lazily turning into a blob "But that'll take a week or a month, I'd rather get some guards to do it"
"Hey now don't be lazy, Think of how they'll call you a cool teacher. Best Teacher Jake."
"I already got my kids to tell me I'm great"
"They'll probably tell how epic teacher we are, think about it. The Legend of Teacher Jake and Finn" Finn said trying to persuade Jake.
"Hmmmm, now that you mention it. I do like to be immortalize, maybe a lasting legacy that echos through time." thought about it for a moment, closing his eyes to see a book entitled Jake T. The Dog Teach. Written on it all of his thoughts, ideas, and sayings, seeing the humans tell Jake's lessons to the other inhabitants of Ooo of his legend. "Okay I'm in" Jake happily accepted shapeshifting into a large giant like figure. "Gotta look the part, going for a giant teacher look"
"Hey a lot things changed, might be more to come. But there's one thing that doesn't change" Finn asks with a smile.
"I don't think teaching counts"
"C'mon"
"Adventure Time!" they both say in unison.
Finn and Jake saw the Minerva's robots busy patching up the human survivors and running the place. The human settlement's houses were either wooden or brick houses, but the architecture was bad, Jake even said it looks like a hobo land. Finn commented on Jake's view on it saying it just takes time for it to improve They saw one Minerva bot with a little boy and girl. Who seems isn't busy.
"Doctor Campbell! The group of venturers are wailing again" The small girl told the Doctor Bot.
"I'll get there as soon as I can, what's their condition?" The Minerva bot stress fully asked.
"Pain, lots of it. Says that getting lost in the forest got them bruised and beat"
"Okay, okay, just check on them okay sweetie. This happened about just five hours ago, okay not to worry." The Minerva bot turned her attention to the little who had been patiently waiting.
"Alright what seems to be the problem?" Minerva asked a little boy.
"My pops is acting mad, see look" the boy points to his dad dancing while shouting "I see rainbows!"
"Let me see" Minerva scanned the boy's father concluding with "Your father appears to have digested something called 'Sunsine Shroom' it gives a person a sensation of pure ectasy"
"Is it dangerous?" the boy asked in horror.
"It's going to be fine, your pop just needs a little medication." Minerva assured the boy calling another Minerva bot, leading the boy and the father to the medical clinic that was helped built by Princess Bubblegum's nurses. Finn and Jake walked up to the Minerva bot telling her about training some human to survive.
"Oh Finn that would be nice" Minerva pleasingly said "But, some humans aren't ready to go out venturing into Ooo while others who did are in recovery"
"Then we'll take anyone who can, time teach my peeps how to survive Finn style. You're getting too stress out of going babysitting 24/7. Let me lend a hand "
"Hey maybe those human can teach other humans, so we don't have to act like baby sitters 24/7" Jake added.
"It could take a load off as well as help adapt the humans in Ooot"
Minerva checked with the other bots around the settlements who's fit and ready. "I have a group that's seems to be all checked up and ready."
"Awesome, tell them we'll meet them near the edge of the settlement. The one with the danger at your own cost sign"
"Oh by the way here's a medical kit, if anything happens"
"Cool, what's inside?" Finn asked looking at the white box with a cross.
"Bandages, rubbing alcohol, cottons, and a needle that can put someone to sleep for a good hour"
"Might prove handy, alright mom me and Jake are ready to teach!" Finn said with persistence as he and Jake went to wait for their students. Minerva smiled, proud of Finn helping others like she is. And happy on what awaits for the human survivors in the Land of Ooo. Minerva even admits that she too had a spark of interest in Finn's love in Adventuring. Perhaps even she would go on an adventure herself when there was no maintenance to be done.
The little girl returned to the Minerva bot and said "Doctor Campbell someone brought a whole bag of shrooms to the settlement and now a lot of people are seeing rainbows" Pointing out to a group of humans dancing and shouting "Rainbows! wonderful fanciful rainbows"
All of the Minerva bots sighed. "All right this way to the medical bay!" she shouted.
The group of venturers arrived, the heroes called them that a some sort of level 1 ranking. Finn and Jake examined their group of adventure students. Jake finally whispered"Finn they all look like complete newbies, this is going to take a life time"
"Hey be cool man, once we teach my peeps how to adventure like us we won't need to babysit them" Finn whispered back.
"You expect us to teach them all about Oo"
"Nah, I mean like we teach the basics, first the forest near the settlements and some common things in Ooo. Like kingdoms and travelling monsters"
"Fine, let's get this over with" Jake shape shifted into giant about a size of a tree. "Alright, now I've hear you humans have been flopping at a basic level one forest, but that changes now." Jake said with conviction making the humans venturers sacred at Jake. Finn interupted "Okay, what Jake means to say it that, we'll teach the proper ways on handle yourselves"
One venturer raises their hands
"What's your question?"
"Will we get beat up?"
"No, not on my watch" Finn promised to the venturers. This gave the human venturers a sense of protection.
"Now let's move on"
Finn and Jake limited their lessons to the forest. First they discussed the plant life: Sunshine Shrooms that made you go happy, Expoding Pine cones that burst out seeds that grows little tree people, Color Leaves that randomly changes the color of anyone who eats it, and Living Roots that snatch creatures.
Then on to the creatures: Ogres that seem to be doing some shaddy work, Fox gangs always thieving around, and rumours that wizards were around. Finn explains that Ogres are kinda arrogant so you could easily trick them, Fox gangs are mostly scavengers thieves but are easily scared away but they are cunning, "Also these Foxes aren't related to Mr. Fox"
"Who?" A venturer asked.
"Never mind. that's beyond forest knowledge. Now for the wizards, they're probably the most dangerous since its magic and stuff. But if there's one thing we've learn from beating the former Ice King a ton of times, it's that there's always a weakness. Though they are dangerous." Jake explained
"Then what's stopping a wizard from attacking the settlement?"
"Oh that's a good point, Finn what's stopping a magic user attacking?"
"My mom has gotten some upgrades from PB, so my mom's bots are the guards. Second of all if anyone dares to attack you or the settlement they'll have to deal with me" Finn assured the group. For the rest of the session while travelling around the forest, Jake then goes on to explain the neighboring kingdoms like the Candy, Fire, Slime, Lumpy Space, and some villages. So they could interact with the people of Ooo.
"Okay guys let's take five, Jake here brought some snacks"
The human venturers gathered around taking a snack break.
The venturers were disusing about the things Finn and Jake taught them, making Finn a little proud. Like he's passing down his hero knowledge while Jake was feeling proud seeing new peeps aiming to be like adventurers like him and Finn.
"Feels nice isn't it? like I'm Billy and these are little mes"
"Except you're not big and you no epic beard, yet. But I agree, feels nice"
"We should invite them to Bubblegum's party, introduce them to everyone else in Ooo" Jake suggested. Ever since the aftermath of the Gumball "Not" War and the Glob Incident, she was preparing a grand party for every one involved during the battle.
"Sounds good, I'll let PB know in advance" Finn pulled out a pink crystal activating it showing Princess Bubblegum with short hair.
"Hey Finn, what's up. Also I'm working on that new arm for yah"
"Thanks Princess, Hey is it okay if I invite my mom and humans over for the celebration, you know getting some interaction going on for my peeps and their neighbors"
"Of course I want all the kingdoms to celebrate, I am curious also-" The princess was cutoff.
"Yo! Bonnie! I still can't find Peppermint Butler" Marceline voice boomed in the background.
"Later Finn, PB out"
Meanwhile the human venturers were suddenly interrupted from their snack time talk with a large thud in the ground and snickering. An Ogre with two foxes circled around the humans.
"Well look here, the beat up meat bags" the Ogre said with a laugh.
"Seems you've entered again on our turf" the first fox pointed out.
"Yeah. let's show our new neighbors another neighborly bonding time" the second fox cracked his paws. The humans venturers were scared still one spoke out. "Hey don't you have anything better to do!"
"Yeah, it's called asserting power" the ogre stretched his muscles. The three started to slowly walk up to the humans. Suddenly a large figure stood behind them, casting a shadow over the three.
"What seems to be the problem" Jake said in a deep giant voice.
"Yo, what's your probs man. Don't you have anything better to do, look if you guys want a beating" Finn turns to Jake giving a nod. Jake turns into a even more of a giant, increasing his size. "I'd be happy to obliged, if not just stay away from my peeps"
This is was enough as the three thugs backed down. "Also apologized to my peeps" Finn demanded. The three thugs obliged "We're sorry"
"Say it like you mean it" Finn said. "We're sorry for being Tard Heads". The three thugs begin to leave but not before the Ogre saying "See told you these guys are wimps"
Turning to the scared venturers "Okay we'll take it slow, nobody gets seperated. Now let's continue" . The two heroes continued their teaching lessons until it was time to return to the settlement. Not realizing Finn left his mom's medkit in the forest. Minerva started a medical inspection, the Minerva bots scanned the humans that went with Finn checking to see of any injuries or dieseases. While Finn and Jake were sitting on a bench relaxing thinking of their accomplishment. Finn was feeling proud while Jake was all to satisfied.
"How long you'd think this is gunna take" Jake asked while eating a sundae ice cream made by a Minerva bot.
"I don't know, give it a month or two"
"A month without something interesting"
"How about we take on field trips, that way all of us get to see something interesting"
"But that'll mean we'll have to keep a look even more" Jake sighed.
"Hey c'mon it's like teaching your pups"
"I never got to teach to my pups, they grew up to fast. But they're okay"
"Well you know we could get Susan Strong, or Huntress Wizard to join. They could help teach"
"Isn't Susan away with her friend Freida?"
"Then Huntress Wizard"
"Are you and Huntress Wizard still talking? tell some juice brodda" Jake inquired.
"She sometimes invites me for beast hunts but that's it"
"Anything else" Jake asked squeaking like a girl
"Well she did ask me to help a hunt..." before Finn could say anything his mom signaled a siren "Someone is missing" Minerva's voice echoed. "One person is missing from the group" a Minerva bot told Finn and Jake. Surprising Finn whom took the responsibility of teacher.
"I failed!" Finn panicked "It's all my fault" Guilt had take over Finn fearing for the worst of what may happen to the missing person. Jake slapped Finn out of his panicking telling "Let's not sit here and whine, c'mon let's search for the...."
"Boy, from the datbase base his name is Oddie"
"Yeah let's find the boy name Doddie" Jake incorrectly said.
"Don't worry I'll bring him back, that's a promise mom"
"Finally something interesting"
"Jake!"
"Kidding now c'mon" Jake grew larger as Finn climbed on top of Jake's back, leaving the settlement beginning their search. The two searched and searched but no luck. Finn was desperately trying to find Oddie, jumping off Jake's back and shouting his name. Eventually they rested on top of a tree, Jake was thinking of a plan while Finn was constantly searching for the boy from the vantage point. Searching again for the missing boy, but once again had no luck. Finn was getting more worried thinking more the worst possible scenarios: a giant spider sucking his blood, a nasty evil tree ensnaring him becoming a part of the tree, or getting sent to Wizard City Jail. He started to get angry of what if the Ogre, and two foxes had anything to do with it. Jake saw his friend's mental state and helped him cooled down.
It was getting late but the two heroes were still searching. Finn frantically searched and ran around the forest to find the lost boy. Seeing Finn tired, Jake grew his arm and hand, holding Finn. Trapping him.
"Jake let me go, We still have a job to do"
"You won't find the boy if you're all panicky, take a moment to relax"
"I.."
"Finn, you gotta chill. Chill, like in the clouds. Remember"
"Yeah" remembering the elemental crisis. "You're right"
"Good let's take a break at the settlement, I want another sundae. Also on the bright side maybe the boy found his way back home."
"If not I'm pulling an all nighter"
"Fine but before that a quick rest then we'll continue" Jake said growing again into a giant version of himself letting Finn ride on his shoulders. While returning at the settlement Finn could hear the sound of trees crashing down. Telling Jake to stop and head into that direction, Finn was on a hunch that it might be the missing boy. Jake stretched his long legs and arms to quickly get to the location.
A human boy wearing an animal hat like all the other human survivors, the boy's animal was a sheep. The boy looked about 13 years old. Behind him were three bullies but the Ogre was carrying someone and not just that his eyes were burning bright red. The foxes were wrapped around with bandages and cottons in their ears. Jake grew his hand larger slamming into the middle causing a pause in the chase. A Minerva bot appeared behind the boy with a stern look on her face. Finn never saw his mother angry, but felt a slight fear from her mother's stern face. On the other side of Jake's hand the Ogre and the foxes weren't particularly scared of Minerva until she shot a dart at one the foxes putting him to sleep. It wasn't even a robot arm canon that morphed from her hand, she threw the dart with the speed of a bullet.
"Aye so you've been the ones been threatening the settlers" Minerva sounded with authority bringing terror to the Ogre and the fox.
"See I told ya, the witch was right!" Fox said cowering in fear.
"I'm trying to wake her up!" The ogre shouted shaking the body of the witch.
"I'm giving this as a warning. Leave and never threaten my people ever again" Minerva said.
"Then you'll come after us next! we leave then you'll go after us next!" the fox replied, the Ogre was still shaking the body of the witch hoping to wake her up.
"I'll go after you right now, if you don't leave" Minerva countered, the two replied back saying how dangerous the humans were. Finn and Jake come down and set the mood for talks like he did with Bubblegum and her uncle. Finn told the two sides to calm down and told his mom if she could wake up the witch and the fox. Minerva pulled out another needle injecting it to the witch and the fox. When the witch was woke up she screamed in horror at the sight of Finn and Minerva but then anger looking at the boy, Jake stopped her. The witch wore some standard wizard clothes like a cloak, they were colored like grape. She wore a circlet on her head. Looks like a wizard's apprentice.
"Release me!" She screamed trying to giggle out of Jake's grasp trying to shoot off magic.
"The original monster!" she screamed.
"How about we all chill and relax."
"Never! I see a threat!" she screamed again wiggling manage to get loose from Jake's grasp but before she conjour a spell, Jake once again trapped the witch. "You know if you could tell us what's your deal miss, we could solve this" Jake said.
"Never!"
"Well then, I'm sure Princess Bubblegum could offer you a nice place in her dungeon, as well as the three of you" Minerva said making the Ogre and three foxes scared, whispering to each other about some nasty rumors about the princess. Something about some brutality.
"We won't talk!" the witch screamed again wiggling.
"The humans are evil conquers" the first fox shouted. "The witch told us a stories of how humans were evil, brutal, and wanting more and more lands! She told us about some story about humans expanding destroying towns and cities. Subdueing the native people until all of them are under their boot. A tyrannical power driven people that'll take us from our lands! And that's why were making sure the humans stay in their own settlement" The fox explained frantically further that they had originally stayed near the borders of other kingdoms but were kicked out, finding this forest by the sea as their home. It was home to them and many other creatures that inhabit the forest. They feared a malevolent ruler would kick them out and take away their land.
"Sounds something Bubblegum would do" Jake joked.
"Try to deny it!" the witch shouted.
Finn looked at his mom for an answer "I'm a doctor Finn, not a historian"
"Yo Jake you think TP or Simon is available"
"TP and Gunther went on a trip, and Finn the guy just lost his fiance."
"Fair enough, so tell us about why you think us humans are evil like where does it stem"
The witch explained that she went to the remaining ruined cities, there she conducted a spell for the Wizard City Library. The spell simulated scenes from the Mushroom War. But that wasn't all the witch said acting even more insane, the witch told of how she gotten convinced by learning more about the human's evil nature from a guy named Ash, giving her some ancient scrolls detailing human wars in past. Countless deaths of civilians lives, young men served in the army seeking glory and blood, "And to top it all of, there was this crazy magic human lady that stole all of my works, she is nuts I tell you! All that hard work! All of that! That's not even the worst part, she robbed a lot of magical tomes saying her love needs rescuing! also because of her I had to do extra work for that"
"And that boy" she pointed at Oddie, the boy didn't flinch and stared back.
"He stabbed with a needle" She spitted in anger.
"Only because you kept sending those idiots to bully us" he pointed towards the Ogre and foxes.
"Hey we're not idiots" the Ogre intervened.
"I manage to fool you by pretending to be a sheep, like who falls for this" The boy poorly imitated the sound of a sheep in the most obvious way that anyone could tell it was fake. Even the witch was angry yelling on how could they fall for such an idiotic trap. The Ogre's eyes were burning hot red due to the alcohol the boy sprayed and the foxes were still tangled up in bandages. The boy told his story: After Finn and Jake finished their lessons he noticed Finn had left the med kit, naturally he went to get it but overheard the three talking thrash about the humans. He had enough of it and decided for payback. Following them around the forest he noticed the three pouring some sort of green fluid into the trees. Eventually they went back into the witch's lair located inside of a tree, and overheard about the witch's plan to continue harassing the humans. A plan that involves bringing the trees back to life to prevent them from leaving, by using an elixir. Frustrated at the many times they were picking on the humans, he decided to do something about it.
He sneaked around quietly while they were distracted and destroyed the elixir causing the nearby the entire tree to come alive. This angered the witch but before she could whip out a spell he stuck the sleep needle on her back, putting her to sleep. The Ogre rushed in time punch him but he threw the alcohol at his eyes, the foxes come in after but were entangled by roots of the trees. Just for payback he wrapped the bandages around the foxes and stuffed cottons into their ears. At that moment the Ogre regained his composure and was angry, he bolted out of the with the Ogre freeing the foxes and carrying the witch.
"I had every reason" he concluded.
"So it begins.." The witch said narrowing her eyes.
"Lady, you're crazy!" the boy
"You're the one lost!"
"We don't want to be pushed out!" The Ogre shouted.
"We're are not pushing you out" Minerva countered.
"How do we know that! you threw a dart at me" the fox shouted
"I did that cause you harmed the humans who were just exploring"
"I don't want to leave! I don't want to leave home!" the Ogre shouted with anger and agony making his fox companions shout too. Minerva showed another dart but this time they were ready for a fight.
"ENOUGH!" Finn shouted signaling Jake to slam his gigantic fist into the ground. he turned his attention to the Ogre and foxes saying that they form a compromise, even telling them that he'll say to Princess Bubblegum an assurance that the humans won't do any conquering. "But what if they try to take our homes" The fox responded.
"Please, if anyone is taking lands its going to be the princesses not the humans" Jake joked.
"Also my mom could help you guys out, she could heal and help you guys out. Like how about this you help us teach the humans and in return you get some medical aid"
"How about it?"
"Fair enough"
"I'll agree to that"
"Mom?" Finn asked
"I suppose so, might be good to have an ally for the humans"
The Ogre turned to Minerva
"You promise you won't try and take our lands?"
"Yes, I don't want the human survivors to have any enemies, if we want to do something in your lands we'll ask like neighbors"
"Seems fair" The first fox said.
"Could work"
The three turned to Finn to apologized but he told them to turn to Minerva and the boy. "We're sorry for harrasing your people" they said in shameful unison. "Apology accepted, but harm my people again I'll make sure your arms won't work for a month. Also I want the trees you poured with the green exlir to be fixed, I don't want livin' trees to attack the humans. After that I'll teach you folks " Minerva replied. The three agreed and left promising no more harmful actions against the humans.
"Now young lady, um do you have a name?" Finn asked.
"I'm called in Wizard City as O'Ise Wizard" she shouted.
" More like O'Ise Wizard Jail" Jake commented.
"Look are you gunna stop or not?" Finn asked but her reply was no stating that she won't allow a potential threat to happen. Finn had no other choice but to give her up to the Wizard City Police. Finn and Jake took off with the crazy wizard lady bringing her back to Wizard City where she was given to the Wizards of Wizard City to decide on what to do with her.
"So you'd think we did good as teachers?" Finn asked Jake.
"Well it'll take some time, but we managed"
"Yeah, that kid who thwarted the witch's plan. Kinda reminds me of me in a way"
"Yeah, in a naive boy sort of way"
"Like when I was out adventuring when I was young"
"Hopefully more of the humans can stand on their own, and won't be as unlucky as you are with the ladies" Jake jokingly said. The next morning Jake and Finn continued in teaching the human venturers about the land of Ooo. Same time the Ogres and foxes were cleaning up the livin' trees caused by the witch. The boy, Oddie, was taking his break on top a tree where he caught the eye of the Ogre. "You know for a human, pretty bold of you take on a witch, an Ogre, and foxes. That's a pretty dumb move"
"Dumb move but I'm still kicking, I can probably do even more"
"Even more than the other better people in Ooo?" The Ogre mocked
"It'll take some time to get a rep but I'll be in the same stool"
"Pretty full of yourself are you"
"I manage to take down an Ogre, two foxes, and a witch. How can I not? I'm maybe ready to take on Ooo"
"Prove it I dare yah" After the lesson, Oddie sneaked out of the settlement meeting up with the Ogre and foxes not unknowing a camera monitored him leaving. "Alright, time to show you I'm as tough as you guys are, cunning as a fox and brave as an Ogre. So you guys up for a little adventure" The adventure lasted until dusk. The Ogre and Foxes brought back Oddie to the settlement exhausted, battered, and the color of his skin orange. A Minerva bot was asking where did Oddie take them, the three replied that they went on adventuring deeper into the grove of the forest where they were attacked by the plant life, Oddie told them about snatching the flower that has unique properties. The party wasn't going to escape as the giant tree guardian wrapped its vines around them, the four were about to be goners but they manage to escape when Oddie tricked the giant tree guardian that he stole their sacred fruit only for it to be exploding pine cones. Oddie was getting patched up and wasn't allowed to go out the settlement, he spotted the Ogre and foxes. "You think this is gunna stop me, well it's not. After I'm recovered I'm going back to that grove and snatch that flower" he promised to which the three found the boy's rash arrogance to be funny.
