Fire Kingdom Throne Room

Flame Princess sat on her throne, doing what she always did. Her people came to her with problems, and she helped. She never got bored of doing the same thing, as all the problems made her think for answers.

"Thank you Princess!" cheered an old fire lady, whom FP had given a cane made of coals. "No problem!" replied FP. The next person was a 14-yr old boy. He had an almost "hotdog-shaped" body with slender limbs. He had goblin-like facial features, with a long nose and big ears, and his fiery hair in a ponytail. The kind that a samurai warrior would have. He had a red gem on his forehead. He wore a dark brown suit made of rags, and had bright yellow eyes.

"Uh-um, uh" he stammered nervously before kneeling before the Princess. "Uh" he paused. "Goo-od mmm-mmorrow mi-mil mil-lady" he eventually said. "Good morrow to you, sir!" replied FP. "May I ask what I may do for you?" asked FP. The boy nearly fainted there. "I-uh I wish to-uh-um," muttered the boy. "I WISH TO BE A KNIGHT" he screamed, trying to get it over with before further embarrassing himself in front of his leader. "Excuse me for that" he said disappointingly.

"He's trying to be polite in front of me" The princess thought to herself. "You know, if you'r nervous, just say it. We don't judge here." The princess told him. "Alright. Ever since you defeated that evil king, you have been my hero. And I want to repay you for our release from corruption. So I want to be a knight to help you, as thanks." He said, trying to sound calm.

"Why thank you for wanting to repay me." FP said smiling. "And of course you may be a knight. We may have the knighting ceremony tonight!" Shouted the princess. All the people that heard her cheered. The streets were filled with joy at the celebration that was to happen. "Go to the armory to receive your equipment." FP told the boy. "Yes princess!" said the boy, quickly scurrying off. "WAIT A SECOND! I FORGOT TO ASK YOU YOUR NAME!" shouted the princess over the sounds of cheering voices filling the air. "MY NAME IS FLARE" he said, and continued his walk to the armory.

"Your majesty" said FP's servant. "He does not meet the physical requirements to be a knight." she said. "But his willpower is amazing. He would risk anything for my safety. That is a quality that no other knight here has. Plus, I also sense great potential in him." FP replied, before going back to the usual routine.

The Armory

Flare walked into the armory, looking cheerful as ever. Two-thousand thoughts ran through his head. "I can't believe I was accepted!", "What will my first quest be?" and "What will the ceremony be like" were only a few of the biggest things on his mind. Unfortunately, where he was going was not one of them. He walked straight into an armor rack, and the whole thing came down on him. At least 300lbs fell down on the fourteen-year old boy.

"Ouch" he muttered under the heavy coal armor scattered over him. Suddenly he heard footsteps, and slowly, the coal plates came off of him. He looked up to see a short plump man with a huge mouth and two huge eyes staring down at him. "What do you want, punk?" said the man in a deep, aggressive tone. Flare was sure he would die right then. "I- i'm here for my armor. Princess's orders." He said trying not to get himself beaten to a pulp. "Are you this 'flare' guy everyone's talking about? You don't look very knightly to me." said the man. "Y-yes I am sir!" Flare said.

"Well, if you want armor, you'll have to fight me for it! If you beat me, It'll prove your worthy of defending the land." said the man, smugly. Flare thought for a second. "This is the only way I can prove my worth. Than I guess i'll have to do it." he said to himself. "I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE" he screamed, trying to sound as tough as possible. Right then and there, the man punched him in the stomach. Flare fell to the ground, hugging his stomach. "Weakling" the man said. The man kicked Flare out of the armory. Literally.

"How, how did I lose?" he thought. "How can I protect the Kingdom, if I can't protect myself?". Flare's spirit was crushed. He gave up, and walked away. "I guess i'll never repay the princess." he said to himself, and off he went. He walked through the streets of the city. He walked out of the gate to the bridge. He walked past the bridge until he was out of Flame territory. Then there was only forest. And through the forest he walked, alone. For his dreams, and and lunch from the fight, had been lost.

Knighting Ceremony

The Knighting hall was filled with the cheers of the flame people. Trumpets, horns, and any other instrument they could find was being played in honor of the soon-to-be knight. Flame Princess stood at the podium, readying everyone for Flare's arrival.

"Excuse me, everyone!" said Flame Princess. Suddenly, the room was quiet, as everyone anticipated the honorary moment about to take place.

"Citizens of the Fire Kingdom, we have gathered here on this glorious day, to celebrate turning an ordinary citizen, into a powerful knight. This boy, has dedicated is life to the Flame Knight Code of Honor, to always be 'Brave, Loyal, Thrifty, and most of all, Honest.' He is willing to risk his life for our protection. Your well-being, fortune, safety, and freedom, are yours because our knights gave up theirs. Their sacrifice lets you live the lives you have. So with that in mind, please welcome, Flare!"

Nothing happened.

"I said, please welcome, Flare!"

Still nothing.

"Where is Flare?" FP whispered to Captain Bon, the head of the armory. "You mean that hotdog guy?" he replied. "Yea, that guy.". "I kicked him out of the armory. Kid is so weak, you wouldn't believe.". There was a fire in FP's eyes. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" she said. "You never asked!" Bon replied. "As leader of the Kingdom, I order you to step down from your position for the crime of being untruthful." FP told him, as he walked away.

"People of the Flame Kingdom! I regret to inform you that due to the idiocy of Ct. Bon, Flare will not attend the ceremony." FP told the citizens. The Ceremony was off, and everyone went home.

Flame Kingdom General's Hall

General Spitfire sat down at his table. For an unknown reason, the Princess had called him here. He has waited for quite a while and decided to leave. Just as he got out of his seat, Flame Princess walked in.

"Ah, there you are, your Majesty!" said the General. "Save it for later Spitfire. We have more important matters to discuss. Flare has gone missing." Flame Princess told him. "Like I didn't know. The whole kingdom's talking about it." he replied. "But isn't this a job for the police, not the military?" Spitfire asked. "No, this is a military job for sure." the Princess reassured him. "Enlighten me." Spitfire said. "Fine then. There are two types of fire people. Coal Fire people, and Pure Flame people. Coal fire people, like yourself, posses an average amount of power. You are coal and fire, mixed. On the other hand, Pure Flame people, like myself and Flare, have an amazingly strong amount of power. We can turn into giant creatures made of pure flame based on emotion. We go crazy and destroy everything." she said. "And this is my problem, why?" Spitfire asked. "Because it's dangerous for him to be alone. He could become unstable. That jerk Princess Bubblegum would capture him. Then we have a hostage situation. Thats a job for the military." said FP. "Ready the troops immediately. We have to find him.". FP closed the meeting there. The search for Flare began.

Somewhere in the Forest

Flare had been walking for almost two hours now, and started to get hungry. He decided he should try to find food. He looked at trees for fruit, but found nothing. Eventually he found some unknown berries. "These might be poisonous" he thought to himself, but he was so hungry he didn't care. He quickly shoved the berries in his mouth, and quickly regretted it. "Uggg" Flare groaned as pain shot through his stomach. "I need to lie down." he said. So he took a nap by a tree, not realizing his mistake.

During his slumber, the heat from Flare's body had set the trees ablaze. He awoke to the sound of 4 people talking. Four robbers were checking him for valuables. "HEY! GET OFF ME!" he screamed. But then they took out weapons. A sword, dagger, mace, and crossbow, all pointed at him. "We can't have someone to tell, can we?" one of them said. They inched closer, about to attack.

"No" he said to himself. He would not die here. He roared, and suddenly, they were dead. Flare fainted.

Flame Kingdom Gate

Troops were gathering at the southern gate of the Flame Kingdom. FP had separated the troops into 4 squads. "Squad 1, you will search the forest for signs of Flare. Squad 2, you will search the outskirts of the Candy Kingdom for signs of Flare. Squad 3, you will collect clues around the outskirts of the Fire Kingdom. Squad 4, you will be signaled to escort Flare back home. Do we all know our positions?" FP asked the troops. "Yes Mam!" cheered the troops. And off they went.

Somewhere in the Forest

Flare woke up to the bodies of the robbers. He needed to move, or he would be suspected of the killing, he thought to himself. He picked up the sword and ran. He noticed the entire area was burned out. Suddenly he heard marching and voices. Banana Guards. He continued running from them, until he found something. Something sweet. The Candy Kingdom. "Thats the place...Where Bubblegum...TOURTURED MY LEADER!" he thought. "If I kill Bubblegum, I'll be a true knight!" he said. So off he went.

He put his sword in the belt made of rope he had, and ran tward the Kingdom. Banana guards were waiting for him. "Wee Woo Wee Woo Wee Woo" they chanted running twards him. He pulled out his sword, and what happened next he couldn't explane. As if on instinct, He swung his sword, cutting a group of banana guards in half. More came, and he chopped them up too. This happened about 3 more times before Gumball Guardians appeared. A guardian swung it's fist, knocking him back. More confusing stuff happened.

Suddenly, he grew to a gigantic size. He was totally encroached in flames. He swung his fist, breaking apart the glass of one of the guards. It fell to the ground with a crash.

Squad 2 of the Flame Knights then appeared, as flare was tripped by the second guardian, falling to the ground, and returning to his normal size. A Squad 2 Knight picked him up, and rode tward the Flame Kingdom.
