Marceline: Vampire Killer/Transcript


 * Movie

(The scene opens with the Candy Kingdom at night. Peppermint Butler looks something from the telescope on the balcony. as Princess Bubblegum walks.)

Princess Bubblegum: Are you sure you're looking for something?

Peppermint Butler: Hope so. Don't wanna disappoint a beauty princess like you.

Princess Bubblegum: I've really gotta take some great pictures of something.

Peppermint Butler: (picks up the waklie talkie) Fern, can you read me?

Fern: (on radio) Roger, loud and clear.

Peppermint Butler: Activate the dish, please.

Fern: Roger that. (activates the dish and walks to the balcony)

(The computer beeps as the pattern moves up and down then stops.)

Peppermint Butler: Maybe this pattern could've been crazier than before. Hey, Fern. I'm beginning to guess that the pattern seems average like gooey tar with green eyes and red mouth.

Princess Bubblegum: Tar? You mean, like oil?

Fern: You really are a crazy girl.

Princess Bubblegum: (confused) A crazy girl?

Fern: In any crazy terms, if there's really any fluctuation, that means the vampires will be resurrected. (The screen shows the proto-vampire that changes into Marceline's vampires.) It's changing, isn't it?

Peppermint Butler: Yeah, right, it seems so.

(The scene changes to a cave as we see the vampires alive again. The Vampire King clearly looks at his hands.)

The Vampire King: Are we alive again? How is it possible that we're out of Marceline's body?

(The vampires look around as the Vampire King uses his sword.)

The Vampire King: Could we get our revenge on Marceline?

(The scene explodes to white with the title "Marceline: Vampire Killer." The scene fades up to Marceline who walks to the graveyard. At the Fire Kingdom, Flame Princess takes a speech for her people.)

Flame Princess: A few years ago, Marceline killed the vampires in the Land of Ooo. He killed The Fool, The Empress, The Hierophant, The Moon, and The Vampire King himself. He was transformed into the dark cloud. Thanks to Marceline Abadeer, she sucked it like a vacuum, becoming a vampire again. Ever since Ooo was in peace, the vampires are alive again in the cave. And also, her mother will be resurrected and her name will be revealed. If she brings her mother back to life, she will be alive when she'll be happy to see her. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your visit here at Fire Kingdom. (Flame People applaud)

(Meanwhile at her house, she brings her mother back to life by reading the book of the dead.)

Marceline: (in mythical language) Let my mother come alive! Give life! Give my mother life! (Thunder crashes) She's... She's not burnt up. Let me check her pulse. (tries to check her mother's pulse, but nothing) It's nothing? (sighs) What was I thinking this time? What have I missed? Surely, I looked up the book about resurrecting dead people, but I can't blame anyone or myself. (Marceline's mother wakes up and looks at her hands then she sees her daughter)

Marceline's Mom: Am I dreaming? What happened? Where am I? Who are you?

Marceline: I brought you back to life, you're not dreaming, you're in my house, I'm Marceline.

Marceline's Mom: It is you. Oh, my Glob, I can't believe you're alive. You're big and old. (they hug each other) You brought me back to life. (chuckles) My beautiful daughter Marceline! Oh, you got a neck bite. Last time I saw you, you were a child. Now, look at you. You're older.

Marceline: I know. Can I ask you something?

Marceline's Mom: Oh. (chuckles) Sorry, I'm actually too excited. Of course you can.

Marceline: What happened to you?

Marceline's Mom: You've been gone for so long. When you disappeared as the annihilation started, I was out there looking for you so I was worried that much. You met Simon Petrikov who becomes the Ice King. He seems so... cool, but handsome. But years went by, you've never been coming back. The days were doomed. When you grew up to be a teenager, you staked a vampire and scared away the family. Your survival of the fittest began where you staked The Empress, The Moon, The Fool, The Hierophant, and The Vampire King himself. When you became a human again, your powers were gone until you stake them again in the Land of Ooo. But all that doesn't matter anymore. You're alive!

Marceline: Thanks, Mom. I knew you believe in me. (they shake hands)

Marceline's Mom: You're welcome. I knew you believe in me, too.

(The door knocks)

Marceline: Huh. Someone knocks at the door. I'll go answer it.

(Marceline walks to the door, opens it, and sees Flame Princess in surprise.)

Marceline: Hello.

Flame Princess: Hi. I'm Flame Princess. You're Marceline, right? (Marceline nods) And you brought your mother back to life.

Marceline: I certainly did.

Flame Princess: Good, and you may call me Phoebe.

Marceline: I guess you're welcome here. Come on in.

Flame Princess: As you wish. (she enters the house) So this is where you live with your.... mother?

Marceline's Mom: Oh. Hello. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Flame Princess: Oh, uh, it's all right. Can I at least know your real name, please?

Marceline's Mom: Sure. Allow me to introduce to myself: I'm Marion Abadeer.

Flame Princess: Marion? Huh. Well, that's a really cool name.

Marion: I know, right? It seems so incredible.

Flame Princess: Wow. So anyway, let's meet Finn.

Marceline: You got it.

(Outside the house, Marceline opens the door and tries to fly, but fails then the sunlight burns her neck bite.)

Marceline: What happened? Where are my powers?

Flame Princess: I don't know, but I know where your powers are. Let's meet Finn first.

(Meanwhile at the cave, the vampires play their instruments.)

The Fool: Sheesh, this is weird, right? (flies to Vampire King) Look, I got both my teeth again. I actually cared about resurrection. How come we're alive again?

(The Vampire King grabs him and sucks his tooth out of his mouth. He spits out tooth, which hits Fool in the eye.)

The Vampire King: I know, we're alive again. Take a milkshake if you eat the shade of a cherry.

The Empress: Milkshake, huh? That's the favorite dessert to drink. (places the glass harmonica on the ground) Wow. We're alive again. Looks like we've been staked again.

The Hierophant: Yes, I know we're all alive again. So how come we got back here? It finally happens that we got out of Marceline's body, but how did we get out of here? Listen, no one knows and no one cares. (The Empress scoffs)

The Fool: Come to think of it, I don't even know how we got out of here in the second place. (yawns) I guess I seem so relentlessly tired. (The Empress hypnotizes him) Oops, I'm hypnotized. (slaps himself in the face, spins uncontrollably and crushes The Moon's head. The Moon sways The Fool away and regenerates her head) Ha-ha! Maybe a gold leaf tastes perfect.

The Vampire King: The gold leaf was so dumb. It didn't taste like anything.

The Empress: Yeah, every gold leaf doesn't taste like anything. (Vampire King sighs)

The Moon: You know what? It doesn't matter how we're gonna take our revenge on Marceline, but it does. We can rebuild our realm and army. We must hide somewhere so Marceline and her friends can't find us at night. (Vampire King hums and dances with a cow) Your Majesty, are you feeling better now?

The Vampire King: Oh, yes. I'm actually feeling better now. (chuckles then resumes humming and eats a shade of cherry)

The Hierophant: Your Majesty, maybe we can hide somewhere at night like the other places, you know. Maybe we can do something when we get our revenge. Maybe, uh...

The Vampire King: Yes? Go on. Come on, don't be too shy.

The Hierophant: Oh, yes. Rebuild the army.

The Vampire King: Ah, that sounds like a great plan. Fool, I need you to rebuild the army so we can have our revenge on Marceline.

The Fool: Yes, Your Majesty. (activates the computer and rebuilds the army made out of cherries)

The Vampire King: What the Glob is this?

The Fool: Your vampire army, Your Majesty.

The Vampire King: Vampire army? They look more like... (looks at the dial) Fool, you set the dial to cherry army!

The Fool: Oh, I'm sure they're made of cherries. Let me try again. (changes the dial) Like that?

The Vampire King: Yes, now that's more like it.

The Fool: Let's get this thing started. (presses the button and the army changes to the vampire)

The Vampire King: That's better.

The Hierophant: (transforms into a warthog and growls) Do what you like. I know what's right. (caterwauls into the forest)

The Empress: If you're probably gonna wander, I'll walk to the Earldom of Lemongrab. Ci vedremo presto, boys. (walks to the Earldom of Lemongrab)

(The Moon moves to the Red Rock Pass and leaves pearls. The Vampire King relaxes for a while and drinks a chocolate milkshake then The Fool chomps some maraschino cherries. At the tree fort, Finn reads a book and Jake takes some push-ups while Peppermint Butler takes some dance-fighting lessons.)

Peppermint Butler: All right, finished with my dance-fighting lessons.

Finn: So, that's it? You just finished your dance-fighting lessons?

Peppermint Butler: Yes, so I'm pretty good like others, my friend.

Jake: Oh, yes.

Finn: I might be going somehow to assume that wants to try to take everything in its power to win.

Peppermint Butler: Oh, right. (the door knocks) Huh. I'll go answer it. (walks to the door, tries to reach it but can't) I can't reach it.

Finn: Here, let me try. You might wanna stand back. (Peppermint Butler stands back) Good butler. (opens the door and sees Marceline, Marion and Flame Princess) Oh. Hi, Marcy.

Marceline: Hi, Finn. Have you ever met my mom? I brought her back to life.

Finn: Oh. Oh, yes, I know her. Come on in. (Marceline and Flame Princess enter) Hi.

Marion: Oh. Hi, Finn. I'm Marion Abadeer, and I'm her mother.

Finn: Wow. Aren't you her mother from her past?

Marion: Yep. I've been looking for Marceline everywhere so she brought me back to life.

Finn: I guess this calls for a family reunion.

Marion: Oh, yes. A family reunion. Should we have a meeting?

Finn: Yes, so let's have a meeting at the tree house. And this is where your daughter lived there.

Marion: (shakes her head and looks at the tree house) Wow. I know she lived in the treehouse, so why would she live in her house at the caves? I literally think the caves seem too scary. (chuckles) Just kidding. I wouldn't say that again.

BMO: So, does that mean I could literally tell jokes in the treehouse?

Marion: Oh. Hi, who are you?

BMO: I'm BMO, Vinny invented me many years ago. I'd like you to meet Lady Rainicorn.

Lady Rainicorn: (in Korean) Good afternoon.

(Scene cuts to Finn, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn, BMO, Peppermint Butler, Jake, Marion and Flame Princess in a meeting.)

Marceline: So, I deliberately staked The Fool at the cave, The Empress at the Ice Kingdom, Crunchy pushed The Hierophant into Jake-house, Peppermint Butler staked The Moon with a big stake at Candy Kingdom, and Vampire King's been turned into a lion.

Marion: Oh, yes. So that's how you survived. Jake, what did you see? Let me draw on the sketchbook.

Jake: Okay, there was one that looked like if a baby snake was a baby-baby. (Marion scribbles in the sketchbook and shows an illustration of a larva-like thing with its tongue out on top)​​​​​​ Nah, that's not right. There was another one that looked like if an ant hill were a girl. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of ant hill with eyelashes and lips) Nah, that's not right. There's one of them that looked like a wet uncle. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of a face with a tie, messy hair and moustache with teardrops) Nah, that's not right. There was a lady who looked like black drapes on a cake pop. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of a cake pop and drapes) Nah, that's not right. There was also one that looked like an angry stop sign coming out of a loaf of bread. (Marion scribbles another, shows illustration of what looks like a epicanthic folded face between two sides) Nah, that's not... Oh, actually, that one's pretty close.

Marceline: Wait, what?

(Marceline grabs the paper from the sketchbook, gasps and 'Marion rubs Marceline's neck.)

Marion: So he bit your neck.

Marceline: Yes. He just bit my neck many, many years ago. I must have my vengeance on The Vampire King for what he did to my neck.

Finn: So what's the plan, Marceline? How can we kill them?

Princess Bubblegum: Maybe I can be of some assistance.

Finn: PB? What are you doing here?

Princess Bubblegum: Just bringing some weapons to kill the vampires again. (unrolls the roll and reveals the weapons) As you can see, I made the weapons that'll help them kill the vampires. Like this one for example, a red blade sword.

Marceline: Really? (picks up the red sword) Wow. That looks really redical. (chuckles) Redical.

Marion: Was that a joke? Are you making jokes now?

Marceline: Maybe. (Marion chuckles softly) I'll take this to kill The Vampire King and his army.

Jake: Great idea.

Peppermint Butler: So what's that behind your ear? (takes out the garlic bomb and gasps) The garlic bomb.

Marion: So, what's with all the weapons including the garlic bomb that'll kill the vampires? That'll never work.

Peppermint Butler: Come on, it might work.

Princess Bubblegum: (takes a garlic bomb) So it's true.

Peppermint Butler: Can I have my bomb, please?

Princess Bubblegum: Oh, sure. (gives Peppermint Butler back his bomb) Here you go.

Peppermint Butler: Thanks.

Marceline: All right, let's go vampire-hunting.

All: Yeah!

(The scene changes to Marceline and Flame Princess who look for the door in the forest)

Flame Princess: Hmm. Are you sure this is the door to the vampires?

Marceline: I sure am, but I think the cave looks empty. No sign of The Vampire King.

Flame Princess: Huh. Maybe we'll just have to look for tracks or clues.

Finn: Yeah, we're ready to look for tracks and clues. (the bomb is about to slip then he carefully holds it and chuckles nervously)

Marceline: Let's go, Phoebe.

Flame Princess: Got it.

(They walk until Flame Princess bumps into an invisible door)

Flame Princess: Uhh! Huh. (touches an invisible door) That's odd. (the bomb shatters)

Finn: Oops. (coughing)

Peppermint Butler: Oh, no! My bomb! (he accidentally slips)

(Finn and Jake cough and heave)

Marceline: Um, are you sure they might be all right?

Marion: I'm pretty sure they might be, Marceline. So, be careful, okay?

Marceline: Okay.

Marion: Good. Come on, boys. Let's get you all cleaned up.

Marceline: I know you're in there, Vampire King.

Flame Princess: Yeah, we know you're in there. Open the door. (an invisible door opens) Hmm.

(they walk into the door)

Marceline: Hello, Vampire King.

The Vampire King: Hello. I've been waiting for you, Marceline.

The Fool: Marceline! Look at me! I'm all grown up now!

The Vampire King: I see you brought Flame Princess. You got something to say?

The Fool: (blows raspberries)

Flame Princess: I know you must've let her beat you.

The Vampire King: Oh, really?

Flame Princess: Yes, really.

The Vampire King: I know your bite mark seems gone that much. Anyway, you don't need to worry, I've changed, as well. I only eat fruits and vegetables. Just like everyone else. (eats the shade of a strawberry) Does that mean you can fight me again after you staked my army, Marceline?

Marceline: It doesn't matter how you eat fruits and vegetables. (grabs The Fool)

Flame Princess: And you bit her neck because you've done enough already to get staked a thousand times over.

The Vampire King: I see what you're actually saying, Phoebe.

Flame Princess: (scoffs) So you knew my name.

The Fool: Smell my feet, Marceline. I promise you won't regret it. (Marceline stabs him with a red sword) Ooh! Your loss. (chuckles)

(Marceline sucks The Fool's soul, regaining his ability of flight.)

The Vampire King: Hmm. Perhaps you'll have a swordfight for 30 seconds because I have a sword right here.

Flame Princess: Oh, yeah? Well, I got an orange sword.

The Vampire King: Oh. Well, then we'll have a swordfight after you kill my servants and army. And one more thing, Marceline: You're gonna have time to play while The Empress makes way to the Earldom of Lemongrab.

(The Empress runs to the Earldom of Lemongrab)

Marceline: (gasps) Oh, Glob! Come on!

(Marceline and Flame Princess run to the Earldom of Lemongrab as they close the door. The scene cuts to the forest as Marceline and Flame Princess keep running until they fly to Earldom of Lemongrab. At the throne room, Lemongrab dozes off at his chair.)

Lemongrab: (snoring) I can't go to school today. I got home alone to do. Unaccepta... Aaah! Homeworks! (footsteps shuffle) Huh? What was that? Hello? (The Empress walks to Lemongrab)

The Empress: Hello, Lemongrab.

Lemongrab: (screams) Oh, The Empress! Hey.

The Empress: What, you can't remember anything?

Lemongrab: Actually, I can. So you're from the cave, right?

The Empress: Yep. I certainly am from the cave. So you might be considering about my death where I get staked at the Ice Kingdom. You got any lemons?

Lemongrab: I'm sorry?

The Empress: Just kidding, I need you to be hypnotized. (a snake opens her headscarf and she begins to hypnotize her) Sell your spirit to the skies. Surrender to the Empress' eyes. (Lemongrab becomes hypnotized and falls asleep then she snaps her fingers)

Lemongrab: Empress, my angel! My great eternal love! Oh, sorry. Can I help you?

The Empress: I think you got blood or lemons, right?

Lemongrab: Oh! (he runs and grabs a bag of lemons)

The Empress: (looks at his journal and chuckles) This is so funny.

Lemongrab: Here's lemons. (chuckles)

The Empress: What's this?

Lemongrab: This is lemons. It's got juice that you can literally make them for recipes.

The Empress: That's funny. (sniffs a lemon)

Lemongrab: Maybe it's very interesting that it could come in handy for recipes like lemon cupcakes. So delicious, right?

The Empress: (takes a bite on a lemon and throws it away) Yeech! Tastes like lemonheads. Where's the domain blood exactly?

Lemongrab: (becomes shock and drops a bag of lemons) Oh, don't be like that, Mrs. Empress! I'll fix it, I'll do anything for you.

The Empress: Then bring me Finn right now!

Lemongrab: Yes, ma'am.

(Outside the Earldom of Lemongrab, Marceline and Flame Princess fly and see The Empress read Lemongrab's journal.)

The Empress: "And then, the vampire lady met me and she talked about Finn and she asked me to capture her badly." Ha! I'd forgotten that one. (chuckles)

Flame Princess: Aha.

Marceline and Flame Princess: The Empress.

(At the tree fort, Jake and Fern relax for a while.)

Jake: Hmm. No wonder this day has any rhyme or reason. I guess it'll work out somehow. (a branch snaps as he yelps and throws a stake at something) Oh. It was just something else.

(Finn walks to Jake and Fern after he yawns.)

Finn: Hey, Fern, how's it hanging?

Fern: Well, I think we're ready to fight the vampires.

Finn: Oh, really? Well, it doesn't seem possible, but okay. I think we'll watch Marceline kill the vampires.

Fern: Oh. That's what I thought.

Jake: Actually, I think I was having a relaxation and I was like: Stoop, stoop, sittin' on the stoop (X5)

Finn: Is that an urchin or something? (sees a staked peach) Looks like the peach's been staked. What'd you do with it?

Jake: Oh. I actually heard something snapping so loudly that I had to throw a stake at it.

Finn: Dude, that was a peach that Marceline doesn't like.

Jake: (nervously) Yeeegh! She doesn't have to know I staked a peach! Let's blame it on the vampires! Or we can hide it! (hides the peach) Whoo! Problem solved? Yeah? (Finn high-fives him and Fern) Come on, Fern. Let's go hunt the vampires. (walks to the Lemongrab with Fern)

Lemongrab: Snap! (breaks a branch)

Finn: Aaah! What was that?! Vampiyah! Aah! Aah! Hyah! Hah!

Lemongrab: (breaks another branch) Snap, snap, snappin' branches for fun.

(at the Lemongrab's throne room, Marceline and Flame Princess sneak around the throne as they aim at the Empress with their stakes until Lemongrab enters while he carries Finn)

Lemongrab: Here's Finn, my eternal love.

Marceline and Flame Princess: Finn!

The Empress: Marceline and Phoebe?

Marceline: (walks to Lemongrab) What did she do to you? Did she bite your neck?

The Empress: So it's you. You're the vampire killer.

Flame Princess: Oh, dear.

Finn: (grabs a stake from her back pocket) Ha!

Marceline: Finn, what are you doing?

Finn: (runs to The Empress) I'll get your stake back, Marceline! (The Empress becomes invisible and he stabs her back) Yaah!

The Empress: (becomes visible) Ouch! I can't believe you staked my back.

Finn: It's because I have to give the stake back to Marceline!

The Empress: Oh, I see. (gives the stake to Finn) Here you go.

Finn: Thanks. (throws the stake to Marceline)

Marceline: Thank you so much.

The Empress: You'll step in my fight with your friends, Marceline.

Marceline: Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.

Flame Princess: Wait. Before you do something to The Empress, think about your mother's song when you were a child as you staked the vampires.

(Marceline remembers as a child with her mother in an RV.)

Marion: And then he said, "Fine." And that's the story of how I met your dad.

Young Marceline: Can I play now?

Marion: No, Marceline, angel, I need you to sleep now.

Young Marceline: But I don't wanna sleep. My dreams are weird.

Marion: Marceline, please.

Young Marceline: But, Mom, my dreams are we-e-e-e-ird.

Marion: (chuckles) Marceline, something weird might just be something familiar viewed from a different angle. And that's not scary, right?

(they embrace each other and sing "Everything Stays". The scene fades out, then returns to show Marceline a little older and packing a sled. Snow falls in a ruined city.) 

Simon: Hello, Marci. I don't know if you'll ever hear this message. I fear my thoughts are no longer my own. Just watch over me... (Marceline looks over to see Simon recording himself.) until I can find my way out of this labyrinth in my brain and regain my sanity. And then maybe, Betty, my princess—maybe you will love me again. (sighs) Please love me again, Betty! (sobs) Okay, bye! (takes out tape, pushes over camera and sighs)

Marceline: Hey, Simon. I, uh, finished packing your gear. So can I have my tape now?

Simon: What? No. This is private, silly. (tucks tape into bag on sled) There you go. Snug as bug.

Marceline: Seriously, Simon, please don't go.

Simon: I... I have to protect you.

Marceline: How can you protect me if you're not even here?

Simon: I'll arrange for someone to come take care of you. I'll make sure he doesn't leave.

Marceline: Please, Simon, I could help you with this.

Simon: Yeah, maybe one day you will. But until then, you have to stay brave, my fearless Marceline.

(Simon touches her cheek as tears escape her eyes. His thumb touches the tear, freezing it. When he moves it, the frozen tear scratches her face.)

Marceline: Ouch.

Simon: You see? I have to go now. Goodbye, Marci.

Marceline: What? No! (chases after him) Wait! Uhh! (trips and falls in snow) Simon! Simon!

(The scene fades out, then returns to a ruined city. The camera pans down and Marceline, now a teenager, runs into a slime creature)

Marceline: Ugh, gross. (sways the slime away and hears The Fool laugh) Okay, I know you're here. (takes her stake out of her boot, hunts for The Fool, opens the van door and sees him)

The Fool: (snickers) Peek-a-pop!

Marceline: The Fool! (tries to kill him, but misses)

The Fool: You found me, Marceline. Now you're it.

Marceline: We're not playing, Fool. You're just a blood-sucking villain! Will you get over here?

The Fool: Hey, wanna see something fun? (inhales deeply) I look just like buns. (blows raspberries)

(Marceline stakes The Fool as she falls on ground and coughs. She sniffs and absorbs his soul. Then she begins to hover.)

Marceline: Cool. Sweet music to my ears. (plays her guitar)

(The scene fades out as Marceline hunts a rabbit)

Marceline: Come on, little bun. Just turn around. (sighs) Dumb animal.

(she tries to throw a rope, but lands on a bunny hat that happens to be Jo)

Jo: Wha?!

Marceline: Oh! I'm sorry! All right, hold still. (removes the rope) There you go. See? It's okay.

(Jo grins and Marceline grins with her fangs as Jo screams and runs back to camp)

Marceline: No, kid! You don't have to be afraid of me! I'm a really good... person.

(At the camp, Jo runs to Two Bread Tom)

Jo: Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!

Two Bread Tom: Huh?

Jo: (pants) There's ohh, hoo... A vampire!

Two Bread Tom: No!

Jo: Yes way. I saw it real close. It looked like a girl, but it had fangs like... (pretends to growl)

Two Bread Tom: Everybody, ready your weapons. Don't worry. We'll be ready for it.

(Marceline tries to make the bird go away, but falls then hovers.)

Marceline: (chuckles) Hey. (Two Bread Tom gasps and aims a stick) No, no, i-it's fine. I'm on your side.

Two Bread Tom: (quivers) Go away, vampire.

Marceline: I'm in the sunlight. I'm not a lousy vampire!

(Two Bread Tom and his campers scream and run away then Marceline sighs. The scene fades out to camp at night.)

Jo: (stands up and pretends to play a guitar) Mm? Mm?

Two Bread Tom: What's that? Oh, you want old Two Bread Tom to play the song?

Man in a deer hat: Please do not play the song.

Two Bread Tom: No, the child is right.As humans, it's our duty to tell the tales, to sing the songs. Art must survive. (plays the guitar and begins to sing) Streaks on the China, never mattered before, who cares. When you drop your jacket As you came through the door, no one glared. But sometimes things get turn around, and no one's spared.

Marceline: But sometimes things get turn around, and no one's spared. All hands look out below ow, there's a change in the status quo uo uo. Gonna need all the help that we can get.

(They stop and Jo walks to Marceline, gives her a chicken leg, points her guitar and mimics it.)

Marceline: (spoken) You want me to play more?

Two Bread Tom: Yes, please. The consensus is that your cover's better.

Marceline: (plays her guitar and sings again) According to our new arrival, life is more than mere survival, and we just might live the good life yet.

(The scene changes to Marceline who walks and plays her guitar with Schwabl)

Marceline: (spoken) Oh, man, Schwabl. I sure hope there ain't a little vampire kid sneaking up behind me.

Jo: (hops on Marceline) Vampire attack!

Marceline: Oh no! Ugh, I'm dead. (Jo spits leaves out of her mouth)

Jo: This is serious, Marceline. What if I was a vampire? You need an animal hat.

(Marceline flies to the boat as Schwabl follows her.)

Marceline: Looks like the project's coming along, huh?

(The boat horn blows and Jo makes the sound. Marceline flies to Two Bread Tom.)

Two Bread Tom: Hey, Marceline!

Marceline: Two Bread Tom, how's it going, man?

Two Bread Tom: Oh, so good. I had a hoagie for lunch. And even better, the ship's repairs are almost done. We should be ready to sail in another day or two.

Marceline: Oh, that's really great. But listen, I've cleared out almost all the vampires that are left. In another week or two, you won't have to leave.

Two Bread Tom: Yeah, Marceline! Oh, Marci, you're such a sweet weird kid. But it's not just the vampires or the oozers or them hungry-looking rainbows. The latest atmospheric readings are going bananas. Something big is coming. And it's gonna change all this.

Marceline: No, we'd do best to clear out of this continent altogether.

Two Bread Tom: Hey, you should come with us. After all, you're one of us.

Man in a deer hat: (rings the bell frantically) They're here! They're here! (gets attacked by a vampire) Aah! He's biting my neck!

Marceline: (stabs a vampire with a stake) Get to the boat!

(Scene cuts to people in animal hats who run away from the vampires as Marceline kills all the vampires off then chuckles.)

Two Bread Tom: Oh, geez. Oh, geez. That's not Schwabl, man.

(Schwabl nods and transforms into The Hierophant)

The Hierophant: Well, you got me. What gave it away, the boots? (transforms into a tentacle monster) Aah!

(The Hierophant tries to attack humans but Marceline cuts him with her ax guitar.)

The Hierophant: Marceline! (transforms back to his form) Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Marceline: Hi, there, Hierophant! Why can't you just let us eat humans?

The Hierophant: You're just, like, messing up the natural order. This is our time.

Marceline: It's my time.

(They duel as Hierophant cuts Marceline as her body regenerates)

Marceline: Ha!

The Hierophant: What?

Marceline: I picked up self-healing power last month, off some vamp with a head like a garden trowel.

The Hierophant: So, you've slain sister Moon. Look at you. You're just a hapa punk, blind to the price you must pay for such powers.

Marceline: (beat, as Dracula) Blah! I don't care!

The Hierophant: Fine. (uses his snake at Marceline, but misses) Ah! Show yourself!

Marceline: Okay. (stabs him) Wah-wah.

(Marceline absorbs his soul, regaining the ability of shapeshifting.)

Marceline: Ka-ching! (gasps) Oh, geez.

Two Bread Tom: Hey, Marceline, let me "ax" you something. (throws her ax guitar to Marceline) You get it?

Marceline: You have to leave, Tom.

Two Bread Tom: Oh, I didn't think it was that bad.

Marceline: (angrily) You have to leave now! (Two Bread Tom yelps) He's here. He's the worst of all: The Vampire King.

(The scene cuts to Marceline who confronts The Vampire King on the boat)

The Vampire King: You can stop this now, Marceline. It's not too late. You've got power now. I see it. But you haven't paid a price. It's making you crazy. Marceline, there's no one left but me. Would you wipe out an entire species?

Marceline: For the last time, yes! That is literally my entire plan!

The Vampire King: So be it, then.

Marceline: (throws her ax away) Uh duh.

(Marceline and The Vampire King charge each other.)

The Vampire King: I gave you a chance, Marcel...

Marceline: Blah, blah, blah, blah!

(They collide and fall to the floor.)

The Vampire King: You know, Marceline, there's still another way.

Marceline: Give it a rest already!

The Vampire King: No, another 'nother way to save my people. (uses his fangs)

Marceline: Wait! (grunts) Noooo!

(The Vampire King is about to bite her neck while he gets staked and her eyes turn red then she screams in agony. The Vampire King explodes. And then the scene returns to Marceline, Finn, Lemongrab and Flame Princess in the throne room.)

Marceline: I remember killing the vampires.

Flame Princess: You do?

Marceline: Yes, well, maybe I killed all the vampires.

Finn: Wow, that's... really survival, Marceline.

Lemongrab: (his tear escapes, sniffles and wipes his tear off) That's... pretty impressive.

The Empress: Are you crying, Lemongrab?

Lemongrab: What? No, I'm not crying. I have a tear in my eye.

Flame Princess: (whispers) Finn, Marceline, we're gonna sneak on The Empress and trap her like an animal in a cage.

Finn: Got it.

(they sneak as Finn waves his arms and makes beeping noise and Marceline squeezes Lemongrab's head. Lemon burns The Empress)

The Empress: Aaah! Lemon burns! I didn't know that lemon burns!

Marceline: Now!

(Flame Princess presses the button as a cage drops on The Empress.)

Marceline: (grabs a stake) Now it's your turn to get staked again.

Lemongrab: (shakes his head and wakes up) What? What happened?

Marceline: Lemongrab! You're all better!

Lemongrab: Oh, thanks, Marceline. I knew you'd meet me for the first time. Maybe you're the best who can kill the vampires.

The Empress: (stands up and talks to Lemongrab) Have you completely just gone dumb? Kill her! Kill her now!

Lemongrab: (frantically) Oh, man, what should I do? I must do something. (puts sunglasses on) There we go. (looks at The Empress) You see? It's the only thing I know about.

The Empress: You must fall deeper under my spell. Sell your spirit to the skies.

Lemongrab: I can see myself in your eyes. (chuckles and winks)

The Empress: You're not even hypnotized. At all.

Lemongrab: (takes sunglasses off) Those gigantic sparkly orbs of yours could be so addictively sour.

The Empress: So you're not.

Lemongrab: (chuckles) No.

The Empress: You pathetic lemonhead. (turns around)

Lemongrab: (stuttering) But angel, why are you being so mean to me?

The Empress: Because you're too dark to even fall under my spell. And you got no class.

Lemongrab: Oh, so you're doing that? You're gonna start name-calling? You wanna play the blame game? Okay! Well, if you weren't so perfect and... and pretty and statuesque and... and...

Finn: Come on, Lemongrab. It's over. (Lemongrab whimpers) It's gonna be okay, man. Nope, nope. This way. Come on, Lemongrab. Let's get some lemon cakes.

Marceline: That's the last time you're gonna hypnotize anyone.

Flame Princess: Yeah, and that's the only thing you should've seen that coming.

The Empress: (blows raspberry) Please, I haven't heard of that before. Maybe Lemongrab's like the head of a lemon. He was nicer than you know. (Marceline becomes enraged) When he was serving me.

(Marceline shouts and duels The Empress alongside Flame Princess. She chokes Marceline.)

The Empress: Open the peepers.

Marceline: Kiss my sword!

(A snake opens her headscarf and hypnotizes her)

Marceline: (closes her eyes) No!

(The Empress cackles until a gravity laser traps her and Marceline coughs.)

The Empress: What's happening to me?

Marion: Marceline!

(Marceline sees her mother who uses her gravity gun alongside Finn, Jake, Fern and Princess Bubblegum)

Marion: Now's your chance!

(Marceline takes her sword, flies to The Empress and stabs her. She absorbs her soul, regaining the ability of invisibility. She becomes invisible.)

Marion: Uh, Marceline? Are you all right?

Marceline: Yeah, I'm fine, Mom. I'm glad you decided to join our hunting.

Marion: Yes, but I think you're still invisible.

Marceline: Oh. (chuckles) Oops. (becomes visible)

Princess Bubblegum: Wow, um, I never knew she's actually gonna be more powerful.

Fern: That's what I thought.

Marion: Anyway, let's hunt The Moon.

(At the forest, Marion scans the pearls with the geiger counter.)

Marion: Hmm. So these are the pearls of The Moon.

Finn: Oh, yes. You're right. Maybe if I take a look at those pearls like a detective. (takes a look at the pearls and picks one pearl up) Maybe if I should eat 'em.

(Finn tries to eat a pearl, but Marion slaps his hand and a pearl falls to the ground)

Marion: No, you can't eat 'em. It could be poisonous or a booby trap, I suppose.

Marceline: Hey, come on, Mom, we're hunting The Moon, right?

Marion: Oh, yes. I know that.

Jake: Hold on a sec. So you're saying that we're hunting The Moon because she's actually ready to duel The Vampire King?

Finn: Potentially.

Jake: (grins from ear to ear as his face appears on the $100 bill) Well, I'll be happy to know if I'd like to do something about hunting the vampires.

Fern: Actually, I wouldn't be too hopeful, Jake.

Princess Bubblegum: Come on, let's find The Moon.

Finn, Jake, Fern, Marceline, Flame Princess, Marion: Oh.

(They find The Moon as LSP and Ice King sneak around the woods.)

Ice King: (quietly) So they're hunting The Moon?

LSP: Maybe. Should we join them?

Ice King: I think we should so we can help Marceline kill the vampires.

(They bump into them as Marceline sees Ice King and LSP)

Marceline: Simon? LSP? What are you doing here?

Ice King: We're here to help you kill the vampires.

Marceline: Oh. So that's exactly what we've been doing.

LSP: Er, uh, should we find The Moon?

Fern: She said we should until The Moon eventually comes here.

Marceline: Did anyone hear something?

Flame Princess: Well, it was a wolf howling at the moon.

Marceline: Huh. Maybe they are the differences.

Marion: You think the wolf is howling at the moon?

Marceline: I think it is.

Marion: Oh, sure. Surely you can defeat the Vampire King by stabbing his heart with your red sword. Killing every vampire does the job when you kill them.

Marceline: It does?

Marion: Oh, yeah, I definitely know all about the vampires.

Finn: Hmm. You usually don't see that every day.

Jake: Geez. Can't leave all the villains for a second.

Fern: Actually, that's... really impressive, Jake.

Princess Bubblegum: (scoffs) Please, just... Ah, never mind.

Marion: Well, that's nice. So, let's go hunt The Moon.

(They resume to find The Moon as The Hierophant's warthog form growls quietly after he peeks them. The scene cuts to Peppermint Butler in the treehouse. He reads a book and cooks BMO and Lady Rainicorn some chicken noodle soup. A door knocks as Peppermint Butler hears something familiar and resumes cooking. The doorbell rings as BMO sighs and walks to the door. She opens the door and sees The Hierophant who snarls in the tiger's form. BMO suddenly becomes shocked.)

The Hierophant: May I come in?

BMO: Aah! Ah ha ha! You're one of those old fashioned revenants, aren't you? You can't come in unless I invite you in! (Chuckles mockingly) What do you think would even happen if you just walked in here, huh? You're so sad, you sad old relic. How about some garlic? (throws The Hierophant sliced garlic then he sways it away) You dumb vampire. (The Hierophant sees footprints and walks back to the forest) Wait! Don't go that way! Oh! Look! I'm out of the house! Come back! Come back! Back, back, back, back! He's not coming back. (exhales and texts Princess Bubblegum)

(Back at the forest, her phone chimes and she takes her phone out of her pocket and sees a text message. She leaves a text to BMO.)

Princess Bubblegum: Hey, guys, I think a vampire's coming this way.

Finn: What?

Fern: Could it be The Moon?

LSP: Well, maybe it could be, but I think I know who it is.

Ice King: Huh. So that's how anything happens all the time, I believe. (chuckles nervously) Sorry. No offense. (clears throat) Anyway, let's do this.

(The scene cuts to The Hierophant and The Moon who see Finn tied to his ankle.)

Finn: Wow. I can't believe he tied my ankle with a rope. Oh, well. I guess this baby needs a cool air. (takes his hat off)​​​​​​

(The Hierophant and The Moon sneak behind Finn. Marceline aims for The Hierophant and The Moon with Ice King who uses two stakes on the rope to his feet.)

Ice King: (quietly) Okay. This is it, Marci. Let's get to work this time.

Marceline: Got it.

Ice King: All right. Let's do this.

(Marceline throws Ice King as he yells and throws two stakes then The Hierophant transforms into a rat and The Moon ducks. The Hierophant hisses and crawls until Finn captures him. The Moon pushes Finn and The Hierophant transforms back to his form. Marceline, Flame Princess, Marion, and Princess Bubblegum gasp.)

Finn: What are you gonna turn into next? A turtle? An iguana? (The Hierophant grabs him) I'm a... Pbht! Vampire! Pbht! (The Moon is about to bite his neck.)

Marceline: Hey!

(The Hierophant drops Finn and Marion fires her shotgun but misses after The Hierophant transforms into a bat and flies to Marceline then the tree falls down.)

Marion: Oops, I shot down a tree.

The Hierophant: Hello, Marceline. I've been waiting for this night for a long time.

Marceline: I know why you had to try to bite my boyfriend's neck.

The Hierophant: Is that so?

Marceline: Yes.

The Moon: Maybe you're the only one who tries to stop me.

Marceline: You can speak?

The Moon: I hope I can speak even if I need to, Marceline.

Marceline: Uh, are you trying to kill my boyfriend because he needs to?

The Moon: Precisely.

Finn: Fern, we're gonna have to fight The Moon and The Hierophant.

Fern: Good idea, bro.

Ice King: Finn, let's draw swords.

Finn: No problemo, Simon. Marion, you still have that garlic bomb, right?

Marion: Well, yes. I still have it. (takes the garlic bomb out of Princess Bubblegum's backpack) Let's use this.

(Marion loads the cannon and aims at The Hierophant. Jake lights the fuse and the cannon fires at The Hierophant but the bomb safely falls to the ground)

The Hierophant: Hmm. (picks up the bomb)

(Marion, Marceline, Flame Princess, Finn, Jake, Fern, Princess Bubblegum, LSP and Ice King gasp.)

The Hierophant: What is with all this tacky plastic rubbish?! (throws the bomb away)

Finn: We're never gonna let you get to her! Fight us!

The Hierophant: Very well. Come at me, Marceline!

Marceline: Oh, I'm coming at you, Hierophant.

(They draw their swords and duel each other. Jake hides Princess Bubblegum's backpack and sees a text then he watches them duel. The Hierophant tries to sting Marceline with a tail of a scorpion but Flame Princess slices it with her sword.)

Marceline: Whew, that was close. Thanks, Phoebe.

Flame Princess: You're welcome.

Jake: (comes out of her backback and uses his sword) Here I come!

(The Hierophant uses his machine gun to shoot at Jake but he hides in the trees)

The Hierophant: That feels so nice!

Jake: Whew, close one. (runs and transforms into a house) Get in me!

(Finn pokes The Hierophant in the eyes as they run to the house. The Moon and The Hierophant walk to Jake house)

The Hierophant: May I come in?

Jake: (slams the door) Nope.

(The Hierophant transforms into a wolf and snarls)

The Hierophant: Grr!

Jake: "Grr"?

The Hierophant: Let me in!

Jake: Not gonna happen, man.

(The Hierophant tries to eat Jake, but he sucks his gut)

The Hierophant: What sort of creature are you?

Jake: Uh, I'm a magic dog with magic blood!

Finn: I've got gallons and gallons of warm red teenage blood and you can't have it! Pbht! Huh? Yeah? Yeah? (Marion high-fives him) Yeah.

Marion: Open up murder hole, Jake.

(Marion throws a ninja star at The Hierophant but he transforms into a fly.)

Jake: Ah, man.

The Hierophant: (transforms back) Marceline, if you can hear me, then there's something I want you to know about. I know you wanted your revenge on Vampire King for what he did to your neck many, many years ago. And it's all because of him and it's all his fault.

Marceline: All right. What do you want?

The Hierophant: The truth is, he did something totally bad to your neck when you fought him on the boat a couple years ago. I just went to look for you when I give you one single chance. Here's the deal: You need me.

Marion: Go ahead, Marceline.

The Hierophant: I don't know how it finally happened, but he must have let you beat him. (cut to Vampire King biting Marceline's neck while being staked) Am I correct?

Marceline: (facepalms and sighs) All right. Say we do work together, you need to give up drinking blood. (becomes invisible)

The Hierophant: I'm a vampire! Drinking blood is kind of the main thing.

Marceline: And you can drink red just as easy. No hurting poor, scared blood-filled animals.

The Hierophant: Well, then I suppose I have no choice. I'm just going to waste you (grabs Marceline by the neck) and eat that kid because that's what an old-school vampire does!

BMO: (runs) Stooop!! (tackles Hierophant and Marceline pushes him into Jake house)

The Hierophant: (gasps) No! I wasn't invited! (disintegrates) NOOOOO!!!!!

(Marceline absorbs his soul.)

Marion: Wow. That was helpful.

Marceline: I guess BMO just saved my life, Mom. And it's all thanks to her.

BMO: Did you see that, guys? She pushed The Hierophant into him.

Peppermint Butler: Ah, great. Our teamwork helps out.

Princess Bubblegum: Oh. Hey, Pepps.

Ice King: What's up?

Peppermint Butler: Well, it's kinda nice, but BMO saved Marceline.

Ice King: Huh. So that's how she saved your life.

Marceline: I know, Simon. Let me tell you something. How my life was without you? I thought my life was through. I could barely stay on my feet. and I couldn't find much to eat. Every so often, I'd make a sad tone. Because I felt so, so alone. I missed you by my side. I was so lost without you as my guide. Then one day, I thought I saw you from far away. But it wasn't you when he turned around to say. Hello to the little girl running up to him. Also to his wife. The day was getting dim. I wanted to get close, and to talk to the couple. Then I saw a vampire about to cause them trouble. I destroyed the vampire enemy, but I'd scared away the family. Mem-mem-memories. Mem-mem-mem memories. Mem-mem-mem-mem memories. And that's exactly why you had to leave me when I was a child.

Ice King: I'm sorry, Marceline. I didn't mean to leave you since childhood.

Marion: I know why you had to, Simon. I know why. She had to like you.

Ice King: Hey, you must be Marion.

Marion: Mm-hmm.

Peppermint Butler: If you kill The Vampire King again, would you be immortal?

Marceline: Ugh, I don't feel so well. (transforms into a crazy form until she transforms back)

Marion: Marceline! Oh, no.

Jake: Uh, guys? I don't know why I'm... (vomits Hierophant) Ugh. (smacks lips)

Flame Princess: Marceline? (sees her arm being scarred as The Moon laughs evilly and retreats) So that's how she did it to her? Sweet mercy. (faints)

Finn: I think she actually fainted.

(The scene fades as Simon and Betty make soup in their house while Marceline sings "Time, Sweet Time." Simon and Betty kiss. Betty takes a pie with a face out of the oven. Someone knocks on the door, and they open it to a dressed-up Marceline offering flowers. Betty, Simon, and the pie burp.)

Marceline: Wait. I was hunting the vampire. The Moon.
