Previously: Finn spoke to the Cosmic Owl. The owl sent Finn into a deep sleep (coma) as his body went through aging transformation. The Lich attempted to kill Finn by tossing him in a shark infested ocean. Jake jumped in after Finn, and pulled him out of the ocean. Finn's entire right arm was eaten away, Jake bandaged it up, and waited for Finn to awaken. He didn't wake up after a couple hours, so Jake left to stop the Lich from any evil-doings he was up too. Princess Bubblegum, and Jake sent the Lich to the Nightosphere. After that, Jake brought Pb back to the ocean and they found Finn (his body fully transformed) sitting up staring out at the ocean.

((Setting: The Shore of the Ocean))

Finn was sitting in a puddle of water,blood was leaking out of his bandaged arm mixing with the puddle turning the water dark red.
Finn slowly turned his head as his eyes fell upon the Princess and Jake. He was holding the area of where his right arm was missing. He looked very confused and in pain.

"Jake.. Princess..?" He muttered. Jake and Pb came rushing towards Finn. Princess Bubblegum threw her arms around Finn.

"FINN! Are you alright?" She asked worriedly. Finn looked at her in eyes.

"I don't know.." He replied unsure of himself. "What happened to my arm?"

Jake stood up, and sat down by Finn. "A lot happened while you were asleep." Jake said explaining, and Finn listened carefully. "Asleep..?" Finn said confusingly. Jake put a finger to Finn's mouth." Shh.. Listen. You went on a journey to speak with the Cosmic Owl so it could give you what you most desired. I think the owl put you in a deep sleep, or a coma while your body went through changes. You do remember what you most desired right?" Finn nodded, and he turned to Princess Bubblegum. "I most desired you, Princess."
Princess Bubblegum seemed shocked at first. She put her hands over her mouth, then she lowered them back to her sides, and began to smile. "Finn, your so sweet.. You went through all that trouble..Just for me..?" Her eyes were becoming watery. Finn nodded again, and he smiled back at her, wiping a tear off his face. "I told the owl I'd pay any price for you. It must have wanted to test me..to see if I was worthy of such a valuable, kind, beautiful, Princess.  The Princess was tearing up. "Finn.. I'm speachless. Your so kind, and brave."
"Thank you Princess. May I ask you a question?" Finn replied. Pb nodded. "Ask away." Finn went to stand up, but he lost balance, and fell back into the puddle of blood. Jake tried to help him stand up, but Finn couldn't keep his balance.  Finn's face started turning pale, and he mumbled in a low voice "I...I can't see anything.." He fell to the ground, and moaned in pain.

"Huh?" Jake and Pb looked confused. Jake leaned down by him. "Finn..?"  Finn's vision started getting very blurry, and he closed his eyes.  Pb leaned down by Finn's badaged area, and she turned to Jake. "He's losing to much blood, we need to get him to the hospital right away." Jake quickly scooped Finn up in his arms, and Pb hopped on Jake's back. "To the Candy Kingdom!!!" Pb shouted, and Jake as fast as he possibly could made it too the Candy Kingdom.

((Setting: Candy Kingdom, the Emergency Room))

Jake carried Finn into the Emergency Room with the Princess following behind. Finn's skin was freezing cold, and extremely pale.   The nurses laid him on the bed, and began treating him immediately.

"His heart is beating rapidly. How long has he been like this? What happened?" The doctors asked Jake and Pb. "It was a shark attack, it happened couple of hours. I managed to bandage his injury up, and he was fine. It just now started bothering him again." Jake replied. The nurses nodded and quickly, and carefully began to treat Finn.  First the doctors made sure Finn had a clean airway so he could breathe, which he did. Then they stopped his blood flow and raised his legs above his head to let blood flow into his brain, and vital organs. After the blood started flowing to Finn's head they carefully laid him back on the bed. They covered him in blankets to keep his body temperature stable. After about a half hour, Finn's blood began flowing normally. He was alive, and healthy. But he was somewhat confused when he woke up in the hospital.

"Huh.. What happened..? Why am I in a hospital?" Finn asked looking around at the nurses, Pb, and Jake. Jake sat on the edge of the bed by Finn, and began to explain what had happened in the simplest way possible. Even though he had already explained at the beach.

"You were attacked by a shark. You almost died of blood loss. Your right arm is gone.." Jake was trying not to cry.  "Princess Bubblegum and I brought you to the emergency room so you could be treated. Don't worry, your healthy now.  You just need to get some rest."

"But.. Without my good arm I can't fight anymore, or use my sword.." Finn replied sadly. Jake looked at Finn, and tried to cheer him up.

"You'll find a way, your a great hero Finn. You always have a plan, man!"  Finn sighed, he wasn't convinced. Pb came and sat next to Finn on the other side of the bed to try and help Jake cheer him up. She put her hand on his face, and looked into his eyes.

"Finn, You just have to believe in yourself. Jake and I believe in you. Isn't that right Jake?" Jake smiled at Finn. "Yeah, homies help homies! Always!!" Finn smiled a bit. His skin was turning back to it's normal, tan color. "You really believe in me?" He asked. The Princess smiled and kissed Finn's cheek.   "Of course Finn. I mean have you seen how much you've done for me, and everyone else? You deserve our help. Even if you hadn't helped anyone ever.. I'd still help out."

Finn looked at Princess Bubblegum, and then to Jake with weak eyes.

"I caused all this trouble. If I would have just stayed home, and not spoke to the Cosmic Owl.. None of this would be happening.."

The Princess sighed sadly, but kept trying to encourage him. "Finn, you did this for me. You did it for us. Everything happens for a reason. I'm sure something good with come out of this.."

Finn thought for a moment, and then he smiled."Your right. Thank you so much for your kindness. Can I get some rest now please?" Finn asked.  The Princess and Jake smiled back at him. "Yep, if you need anything you give us, or the nurses a holler. Got it?"
Finn nodded. "Got it."  He laid back in bed, and fell fast asleep.

((Setting: In Finn's dream world))((This isn't really happening, Finn's just dreaming))

Finn woke up in a bloody puddle by the ocean. He was very confused, and he looked at his bloody arm. The whole world seemed abandoned, besides the ghostlike shadows lurking in the darkness. Fire was scattering all over the land, and from a distance Princess Bubblegum's castle was on fire. Finn quickly got out of the puddle, fighting all pain in his body, and ran towards the Candy Kingdom. "Princess ! Princess Bubblegum!!!?" He shouted when he neared the castle. The Lich was holding the Princess up by her neck. The Lich was melting her body with his flaming hands. Finn became furious, and charged at the Lich. "LET HER GO!" He shouted. The Lich pretended he didn't see Finn coming. When Finn was about to punch the Lich;The Lich dropped the Princess to the ground. The Princess was unconcious, and her skin had the texture of a waxy candle. Finn picked her body up and cradled her to his chest. "Please don't die.." He whispered. The Lich stared at Finn, and laughed at him. "What did you do her..? Where's everyone else..? And what happened to my arm!?" Finn trembled as he demanded answers as tears spilled from his eyes. The Lich stared blankly at Finn. "You should have pity upon yourself. Look at what you did." The Lich smiled because he knew Finn was in pain emotionally, and physically. The Lich flicked Finn in the chin, and then flicked Pb. "You can have her, she IS what YOU wanted in the first place, right?" Finn began to cry even harder as the Lich spat terrible words at him in disgust. Finn checked Pb's pulse to see if she had a heartbeat, and he couldn't find one. "Where's Jake?" Finn asked wiping the tears off his face. The Lich smirked. "He's dead. He died trying to save YOU."
"Save me.. Save me from what?" Finn still was very confused. "Heh.. Save you from a shark attack, your lucky your even alive. If it wasn't for the bandages on your arm, you'd be dead too." Finn's eyes grew wide. "No,no, NO! He can't be gone..Wait..WAIT! How did I even get into the ocean? I am terrified of oceans.!" The Lich looked nervous, and stayed silent. Finn could tell the Lich had something to do with it. Finn carefully set Pb down on the ground. He stared at the Lich with confidence. "You..You did this!" He shouted.  The Lich shook his head and continues to smirk. "No Finn, YOU did this."
