Chapter 2

"Punishment"

...

Lemongrab trembled on his whole body, he was afraid for his dear life. The Princess was dragging him back to the dreadful place which once was his kingdom, his home...No words were spoken between them, only deadly silence and Lemongrabs racing heartbeat.

After a while they came back to the former Lemon Kingdom. The towers threw deep shadows over PB's and Lemongrabs face. Banana Guards were standing side by side greeting the returning Princess with every honour, gulping at her fierce look. Sobbing sounds came from her charge who now desperately tried to stop the walking, just a few minutes more in freedom just a few more moments of peace and happiness...it was not fair...why had he suffer so much? Tears streamed down his lemony face and he squeezed his eyes together in pain.

In his worn out mind TreeTrunks appeared as a soft shadow figure and her features gave Lemongrab a little bit of hope back. This was only short lifed however as soon Bubblegum and Lemongrab had entered the castle the horrible truth was coming to get him with all might.

"GUARDS!" Princess Bubblegums voice was calm but had a stealthy tone under it. The guards saluted and grabbed Lemongrab under his arms dragging him upstairs in his room or at least Lemongrab thought they would bring him to his room. They changed the route however and guided him downstairs in direction of the former reconditioning chamber. A dreadful feeling came over him as the door to the feared chamber was opened...Slowly a hint appeared inside Lemongrabs head what would happen to him now...No this was not possible...his mother would never do that...would she?

"Put him inside the chamber and close the door. You can go then, i need a moment with my creation alone...if you know what i mean."

"Aye aye your majesty..." Banana Guard 1 bowed his yellow head obeying PBs orders and left together with his friend.

"No...no please no...i am sorry...I AM SORRY!"

"Apologies won't help you anymore Lemongrab, this is the only way to teach you a lesson i am afraid..."

"Nghhhh b...but i...NO PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE MOTHER NOT NOT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!"

"No more words...you will recieve max. juice power now, prepare yourself Lemongrab..." she stopped for a moment looking inside Lemongrabs begging face. Shaking her head slightly PB pulled down the lever of the machine, the generator prepared the wanted energy and released it with a crushing sound. Loud screaming was mixed with colorful lightnings which hurted in PBs eyes. She turned around until Lemongrabs punishment was over. The smell of burning lemony flesh was coming out of the chamber and Bubblegum looked down at her failed experiment. It was a pitiful look she had to admit. He was laying on the ground, shaking violently, sobbing sounds escaped his tortured body.

"Its over now, stop your crying Lemongrab." she opened the door and walked inside the chamber supporting Lemongrabs flailing body with her arms. He lunged towards her, burying her in a bone crushing hug, big salty tears fell down on her shoulders.

"I...i am sorry...so much sorrow i have...*sob* please no more zapping...no more please...nghhh..."

"Did you learned your lesson?"

"I lea...learned my lesson...i...i.. wont run away again..."

"I wish i could believe you..." Bubblegum sighed and lifted up her charge so that he could stand on his feet. Limping upstairs the princess guided Lemongrab towards his room, this time without guards. Lemongrab had no more power to rebell so he nearly felt asleep while walking with PB.

As Bubblegum laid down her creation she made sure to secure him with doubled handcuffs, this time even securing his head and upper body. He was totally unable to move now. His eyes followed Bubblegums every movement, another tear escaped Lemongrabs eye. Lemongrab was finished, totally worn out and broken to a degree where even swallowing was difficult for him.

"This will further belong to your punishment Lemongrab, you hear me? I will darken the room completely, you will have no longer any view outside for a whole week, only when its time to feed you i will light up this room here. Your night-light also will vanish for a while, don't even think in trashing around for it, it has no use anyway. "

Panic rised up in Lemongrabs throat, totally darkness? He was already afraid of the night but for a whole week no light at all? Crying out in despair he tried to move but gave up soon. PB closed all the windows and put black curtains over it. As this was finished she left the room, the clicking sound of a key moving was the last thing Lemongrab witnessed before his fatigue took its toll on him.

Was it a dream? Or was it reality...he didn't knew anymore. He was walking down an long isle together with Bubblegum, but this princess was certainly different from the one he knew. She was kind and soothing, surrounded by an aura of pure energy. Lemongrab was tiny in comparison to her in his dream, he felt like a little kid but for once he was not afraid of Bubblegum, no this time he felt understood.

As they walked further the princess suddenly brought Lemongrab up to her heart, hugging him softly and stroking his head.

"Poor little Lemongrab..."

"M..mother?" a questioning look into PBs eyes made the lemon shiver in fear of saying something bad. But instead of a punishment she only smiled and hugged him harder until it dared to crush his bones to dust.

Out of sudden a lightning thunder appeared and Lemongrab woke up, sweaty and frightened to no end. The darkness did its toll too. What he would give for a reassuring word or cuddling now...another tear escaped his eye and slowly he was falling back to sleep.

The next morning:

The first night in totally darkness, truth to be told Lemongrab not really got an awfully lot to see anyway, the darkness still surrounded him and dared to crush him with its power. Lemongrab felt tired out and miserable so much he never felt before and for making it worse the voices inside of his head came up again confronting him with his past crimes he had done as powerhungry and evil Fat Lemongrab.

"ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? YOU ARE A DISGRACE FOR EVERY LEMON..."

"Who is there?" LG asked panicked, this voice was so familiar to him...The voice continued to talk to him.

"CAGED UP LIKE A DOG; YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! OUR KINGDOM IS GONE FOR GOOD YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BADLEMON!"

"SHOW YOURSELF!"

No answer however. Lemongrab sighed and tried to close his eyes again. A knock let his eyes snap open in an instant. It was Princess Bubblegum with Lemongrabs breakfast as it seems.

The light was turned on and PB walked in with a little smile on her face. She sat down beside Lemongrab and stroked his cheek.

"Good morning LG, how was your first night?" PBs caring look turned into something malicious out of sudden. Lemongrab started to sob.

"Now now, who will cry there? Poor crybaby...look, i got you some breakfast and of course your medicine!"

"I...i am not hungry..."

"Excuse me? You have to eat little dude, remember? Your medicine is pretty strong and without anything in your tummy you will only got pain instead of relief!"

"No...i don't wanna food...I want to die..."

PB was stunted for a short moment but soon found to her old self. Standing up slightly angry now she released a syringe out of her lab coat and injected it Lemongrab. His muscles went limb in a second and his look turned into a frown.

Heaving him up without any effort so that he could eat better, PB took a spoon put it in the little bowl on the tablet and started to feed Lemongrab. Said Lemon however turned away his head as good as possible for him.

"Stay still i said..."

"NO, I DONT WANT FOOD!"

"Lemongrab...don't overdo it...you hear me? Eat your food...NOW!" Bubblegum forced the spoon inside LG's mouth who gagged right after the deed. It had an awful taste and he would have loved to spit everything out but he couldn't, he was too weak for that, so he had no other choice as to swallow the horrible substance. Now he started screaming like a madman with all his might he spit in PBs face. A short moment of shock later Bubblegum cleaned herself up and glared at Lemongrab fiercly.

"I...hate you..." Lemongrab slurred out this words with every ounce of power he had left...

"So this is where you want to bring it to eh? Well if you want, have it your way mister..." PB walked out of the room with the tablet and for a short moment LG thought he had won a little self respect back but his hopes shattered in a matter of seconds as the Princess came back with a weird contraption which Lemongrab didn't knew yet. Due to the relaxants PB gave him, his body was limb as a puppet.

"Prepare for a world of real punishment Lemongrab...if i am finished with you...well you'll see it soon enough."

"..." Lemongrab stayed silent on PBs treats and awaited his destiny of doom...A sizzling sound came from the machine PB carried and slowly she walked towards her creation with an evil smile on her face...

Back at TreeTrunks house:

The little yellow elephant was looking out of her window sorrowful. Lemongrab was not going out her mind, the horrified look on his face as PB appeared...it haunted TT even in her dreams. She called Finn and Jake to set up a plan.

"I am glad you came fellas..."

"Is it about Lemongrab TT?" Finn asked worried and gave TT a caring look. TreeTrunks nodded and told them everything, about her dreams and the haunting pictures in her mind.

"So what is your plan then?"

"I want to free Lemongrab from his prison, he can life with me, i can teach him and also can give him love which he obviously didn't get from the Princess..."

"But you are sure about that? I mean...even LG was stitched up together on both parts of the earls are you really really sure you wanna load up so much responsibility for a stranger so to speak?"

"Everyone deserves a chance Finn, even someone like Lemongrab. I will give him this second chance..." TT saluted proudly which made Jake smile and Finn laugh.

"Aaalright TT we are in! Tell us your plan!"

"Now listen...here is the plan..."
