The Sword

I'm sorry this took forever to write I've been having writers block lately. But here it is.

Finn was training in the treasure room against Fionna. The two heroes had found that they were equal in fighting ability. So far they both had bruises all over but they were having so much fun that the pain didn't even bother them.

"Hey you two! Time for lunch." Jake yelled down from the kitchen.

"Okay!" The humans yelled scrambling up the ladder.

Jake had prepared a group of the perfect sandwiches that he loved so much. Magic man had already tried to take them but the wizard was tied up in magic rope so he couldn't escape. The humans, cat and dog ate the food slowly to enjoy them.

"So Finn I was thinking..." Jake said as they finished.

"Yeah buddy?"

"Billy's gauntlet was the only known weapon that could hurt the Lich, right?"

"Yeah man."

"Well what if you used his sword? That's gotta be a little bit effective." Jake said.

"Me? Use Nothung?" Finn asked.

"Yeah man. Use the legendary blade to beat the Lich." The dog said.

"Isn't it a little big though?" The boy asked remembering how large the blade was.

"Yeah but maybe it's like the gauntlet. You know how it shrunk to fit you?"

"Maybe. You two wanna go?" Finn asked Fionna.

"Sure. I still wanna see more of Ooo." Fionna said grabbing her backpack.

"Nah I wanna rest for a while." Cake said.

"I'll stay here and make sure MM doesn't escape." Jake said.

And so they left for Billy's cave. Leaving Magic man tied up.

The cave was exactly as it had been the last time Finn and Jake had been there. Nothing had been touched and cobwebs had formed on many of the belongings including Nothung.

Finn walked over to the treasure pile that the sword was resting in. He gripped the hilt, pulled and barely budged the sword.

"Come on! I need you to beat the Lich!" Finn yelled.

As he said this the sword shrank and came loose. The group stared at the blade and were mesmerized by it. Finn was now the owner of the most legendary sword in Ooo.

"I guess it wants to fight the Lich." Fionna said.

"Yeah. I think it wants to get back at him for killing Billy." Finn said holding up the sword.

The duo searched around the cave for anything else that might be useful but left disappointed. On the way back to the tree fort they came across Gunter and the other penguins. Apparently they were looking for the Ice King and Gunter was leading them.

"Gunter Ice King isn't the Ice King anymore. I guess that means your in charge of the Ice Kingdom for now." Fionna said.

"Mwack mwack." Gunter said then she turned and said something to the other penguins who turned and went back to the newly rebuilt ice Kingdom.

"Silly penguins. They should be fine." Finn said.

The tree fort came into view and two familiar pink shapes were visible sitting by the front door.

"Hey princess, hey... You." Finn said forgetting Gumball's name.

"Gumball." Fionna whispered in his ear.

"Yeah Gumball."

"Hey Finn. We have an idea but we need your permission to do it. Can we take Shoko's body back to the Candy Kingdom?" Bubblegum asked.

"Sure. Why though?" Finn asked confused.

"Well that candy revival formula that made zombies, we think that it might be able to restore humans. So we want to test it on Shoko."

"You think that that might work?" Finn asked.

"Who's Shoko?" Fionna asked.

"She was one of Finns past lives and an adventure like you." Bubblegum said.

Together the Hero and Heroine opened up the floor in the kitchen to reveal the skeleton of the mutant girl. Gumball brought in a floating coffin like box and they carefully loaded the body inside.

"Ok Finn, see you later! Oh and Marceline said she wants you and Jake to visit tomorrow. Fionna, you and Cake could come visit the Candy kingdom if you want." Bubblegum said as she and Gumball were leaving.

"Ok! See ya Peebles." Finn said waving goodbye.

Fionna went rummaging around in the garage while Finn climbed up into the kitchen carrying Nothung. She had been digging around in the piles of junk for a few minutes when she came across an old dusty green book.

"Hello. What is a book doing in here?" She asked herself.

She blew the dust of the cover and gasped at the title. Flipping through the pages she found some very disturbing information. She slipped the book in her green backpack and silently vowed to not let Finn see it.
