Fionna glared at the Ice Queen in irritation. The Ice Queen laughed coldly as Fionna took a running jump. She slammed her ice covered fists on the cold hearted queen's white haired head repeatedly. The Ice Queen shoved her off and blasted her towards the ceiling. She easily destroyed the thick ice encasing Prince Gumball and the Ice Queen screamed angrily.
Cake exploded into the room, barely able to fit through the door she was so big.
"What's goin' on in here?!" She cried in her usual twang. She froze and shrank to her normal size before lunging at the candied prince.
"Don't you touch her!" She shouted as she jumped on the pink prince, who cried out and shied away from the enraged cat.
"It's OK, it's OK." Fionna said as she grabbed Cake around her middle and pried her off Prince Gumball, who ran to the other side of the room. "It was the Ice Queen."
Blue icicles shot from the direction Ice Queen had fallen and blasted Cake from Fionna's arms. Cake yowled in pain as the cold daggers pierced her skin through her fur.
"Paws off my prince!" She screamed, a slightly mad grin plastered on her blue tinged face .
For the second time Fionna jumped at the Ice Queen. "Yonk." She said as she knocked the crown from the Ice Queen's head.
"M-my magic!" She cried. "My powers!"
Fionna dragged her to her feet looking rather pissed off.
"And this is for yankin' my heart guts." She said in an icy tone as she punched the kidnapping Queen in the jaw, sending her sprawling to the floor.
Cake sent wave after wave of the blue icicles that the Ice Queen had used on her until she was frozen solid in a block of cold, frozen water.
"Imma Queen." She said laughing lightly. Fionna knocked the crown from her cat sister's head.
"No," She said firmly. "You might catch her crazy.
"Wow, Fionna, your... your just... really incredible!" Prince Gumball stammered. "Maybe we should meet up, for a date."
"No way man, not interested." She replied. Wasn't this the guy she had crushed on for almost 7 years?
She turned to leave the room and noticed Ice Queen huddled up against the wall, her face contorted with rage, pain, fear, and something else. Fionna stared at her for a moment before walking up to the blue skinned woman and offering a hand. The Ice Queen stared at her questioningly before taking the offered hand cautiously. Fionna heaved her to her feet and held out the Ice Queen's crown which she had picked up off the floor only moments before. The Ice Queen took it and fled the room.
Fionna left the room and jumped haphazardly down the stairs.
In mid jump she was suddenly blown sideways. The world was filled with color and loud noise. The darkness and silence that followed were deafening more so that the noise. She tried to move but couldn't. Pain filled her body and it was hard to breathe. A strange darkness was closing in on her mind, much like that of which obscured her sight. She tried to move but the pain was too great and she let the blackness close over her.

Marshall Lee poked his head out of his bedroom window in mild curiosity. His dark eyes shone in the pale moonlight. A pale orange glow was shining over the tree line and the distant smell of smoke made him cough. He narrowed his dark eyes and pulled his head back into his bedroom. He closed the window with a small snap and retched. He watched the acrid black cloud rise from the orange glow. Something was on fire and it was too close to morning for him to really care. He looked a the digital clock on the night stand. It was only a few minutes after 3 am and he felt asleep on his feet, relatively speaking.
He threw himself down on his bed and sighed. Tomorrow he'd have to go and see what had been destroyed or it would drive him nuts.

Marshall Lee woke with a start as someone pounded on his front door. The sound grated on his tired and over sensitive nerves. He cast a quick glance at his digital clock, which sat on the little dresser only a small distance from the bed. It was still early in the afternoon, way too early to be awake.
He sat up and stretched. The loud knock came again and he dropped from his bed room to the lower level of his house with a groan of exhaustion.
He opened the door and hissed in pain as the sharp sunlight carved a path through the shadows and burned the skin on his left arm. He jumped back into the shadows and rubbed at the angry dark red patch.
"Marshall Lee? Have you seen Fi?" The cat who stood there twanged, oblivious to the vampire king's pain. He realized she was coated in soot and mud, turning her usual ginger and white fur to a dull, patchy greyish brown color.
"No Cake, why? What happened?" He asked as a strange sense of foreboding ripped through his body.
"There was an attack on Candy Kingdom," She wailed hysterically. "No ones seen or heard from Fionna or Monochro since last night, and we can't find them anywhere! So many people died!"
"Calm down, I'm sure their all right." He said uncertainly. "I'll help you hunt them down."
His jaws gaped wide in a yawn and the sooty cat stared at him warily. The cat didn't approve of her human sister's choice in friends. He picked up an umbrella and opened it. The cat stretched her body until she was several times her normal and natural size. He sat on her back with the umbrella blocking the suns harsh rays while she ran through the thick covering of trees. Marshall Lee began to detect strong scents of burning sugar and smoke. The closer they got to the Candy Kingdom the more they saw the burned and empty shells of trees, the occasional charred squirrel and the stronger the acrid burned sugar smell became.
At last they broke through the cover of the trees and onto the open grass that surrounded the kingdom.
The grass was sooty and blackened as Cake was, and it was littered with charred bits of candy stone and fallen chunks of building. Marshall Lee jumped from Cake's back and landed on the devastated ground. Terrified wails of children and adults alike rented the air as they searched for the bodies of their loved ones.
"She just left Gumball's room when the damn thing went off." Cake said as they walked towards the castle. Gumball stood in front of the remains of the large castle and turned to them as they approached.
"Marshall Lee. Cake." He greeted them tiredly as they got closer. He had bandages around his head and his left arm was encased in pink plaster. He had little band-aids covering little cuts and lacerations on the visible bits of his pink tinged skin.
"Obviously she wasn't there." Cake said to the Prince. Prince Gumball sighed and ran his good hand through his bubble gum pink hair. He shook his head and looked at the two sadly.
"Do you think you might be able to find her scent?" He asked miserably. Cake shook her head.
"I could try." Marshall Lee said cautiously. The candied prince and the cat looked at him, hope glowing dully in their tired eyes.
"I'll show you where we were when the thing went blammo." Cake twanged. He nodded ad she led him up the melted, chipped and broken stairs to the castle. She pointed up the stairs on one side of the ruined palace.
"Gumball's room was up there, you'll find what's left of it." She said and left.
Marshall Lee climbed the stairs and hunted for any trace of the familiar sweet scent of Fionna the Human. He found tiny traces by the remains of the door but those didn't help. He searched the room and found nothing but rubble and a destroyed bed sheet.
He went back into the stair well and searched hard for any traces of the girls existence. About half way up there was a large pile of rubble and stone from where the wall had been blown apart.
He sniffed at it and was horrified to find the human girl's scent was quite strong here, and that it was also mixed with blood. He searched the rest of the stair well but found nothing. He began shifting boulders and small rocks. He demolished half the pile before finding any sign other than her sweet smell. He shifted the rocks and found the blond girl lying on the steps. Blood had soaked through her shirt. The rise and fall of her chest was weak and she was scratched, bruised and several bones were obviously broken.
For a moment he simply sat beside her. He gathered her limp body up in his arms and cradled her against his chest. He floated up into the air and flew off to find Cake and Prince Gumball
The moon was low in the sky when he exited the damaged building. He found them just outside the castle and Cake wailed in dismay when she saw her sister's frail and bleeding body. They rushed up to meet him.
Fionna's weak breaths rattled in her chest and a trickle of blood escaped her lips.
"Can't you do something?" Cake wailed as she clutched her sisters hand.
"I could but you'd hate me for it." He said tonelessly.
"If you can save her I don't care what you do, just do it!" The cat screamed. He shrugged and looked at Gumball.
"I agree with Cake. If you can do something please do it now." He pleaded.
Before either of them could stop him he sank his fangs deep into her throat. Cake cried out in surprise and Gumball turned his head away.
"What are you doing?" The cat shrieked. Marshall Lee withdrew his fangs from the girls throat.
"Saving your sister." He replied.
