A/N: whoops, I lied! I didn't post soon!

I didn't know what to write next. Actually, I still don't know. We'll see how this goes. I OWN NOTHING but I did make up the Duke and Iris, so yeah and stuff.

Oh my god, I totally have to fix that last chapter. If I forget, remind me, okay? Please.

"Show me your true power!" The Duke commands Finn. "Come!"

Finn reaches into his backpack again, but before he can get anything Jake jumps over him and lands on the face of the Duke.

"Don't mess with Finn, you blob!" Jake yells. He stretches over the Duke, enveloping him in a spmye of stretchy doggy flesh.

"Dude, you rock!" Finn exclaims.

I pale noticeably, my skin graying to match my hair. "No, Jake! Look out!"

"Huh?" Jake winces, and a lump appears on his stomach. "Owwwwwwwww!"

He unstretches himself, and the Duke is shooting lasers everywhere. "Many thanks to Star Wars Princess for teaching me this!" he laughs.

All of a sudden the voice of reason and fandom appeared and slapped the author in the face. "There is no Star Wars Princess in Adventure Time; if there was, it would be Princess Leia; and they use lightsabers, not magical lasers," it says, then disappears to bring annoyance to fanfiction writers worldwide.

"Many thanks to Robot Princess for teaching me this!" he laughs. ((still not magic if it was a robot, but whatever. I'll let this one pass.))

Finn draws his beloved sword. "Duke! You are so outta here!" he howls.

I brighten at the sight of the sword. "Yes! He can't take that!" My hair turns a hopeful yellow-orange.

The Duke pales as I brighten. "No. You can't—" then he spots the amulet on Finn's chest, knocked loose by his fight with the wires. "Prepare to die, Finn the human." He points a thin finger at the jewel, and another at Jake's.

"What?" Finn says, and suddenly the color drains out of their amulets and into the Duke's hand. He smiles his horrible smile. "Goodbye." And Finn and Jake slip, almost silently, through the cloud floor towards the ground, thousands of feet below.

I scream. "Finn, Jake! Noooo!" I get up to fly after them.

"Oh no you don't," the Duke says. "You're staying right mye."

"I'm staying right here," I say, hypnotized. "I'm staying—"

I shake my hair wildly. "Heck no! I am not staying here!" And before the Duke can even think to move, I'm gone, racing after my friends.

I can see them below me, tiny specks of blue-white and yellow. Suddenly they're yellow and blue-blond, and I catch Finn's hat as it flies up to me. The echoes of their screams ring in my ears, and I shout ahead, even though I know they can't hear me: "I'm coming! Hang on!" I have no idea what I want them to hang on to, though.

I'm speeding so fast my face, my eyes, everything hurts, and I swear I totally understand how a meteor feels as it's falling to earth. Slightly amused in the absurdity of the moment, I glance backward to see if I've made a rainboom yet.

Not quite.

They're getting closer, but so is the ground. They're going to crash into the ocean, and while water is usually a good place to fall, at that height they'll splatter like it was concrete. I'm close enough to see Finn's facial expression, and he looks terrified. Motivated by their peril once again, I press myself to go faster.

They're twenty feet above the water. Ten. Five. Two. Then I manage to scoop them up, just barely keeping them from plunging or splattering on the water. Jake's cheering, but Finn still looks terrified. I manage to bring them to the a beach, luckily pretty close by. Finn's not fat, but I'm no weightlifter.

Finn's still breathing heavily when we land on the beach. "Can we…get away from the water, please?" he squeaks.

I glance at Finn, then at Jake, then at the water, and back at Jake again. he shrugs and nods, and we take Finn about a mile back into the forest, in a big meadow-clearing thing. There he calms down, blond hair all askew.

I hand him his hat. "Thanks," he says. "For the save. And the hat."

I shrug, smiling despite myself. "I should say the same. Except I don't wear a hat."

He grins and wraps me in a big hug, making my hair blush as bright as my face. "Really. Thanks."

Finn leans back and Jake cuts in. "So what's the deal with the Duke? How did he do that crazy amulet-sucking thing?"

"He can absorb magic," I explain. "The Duke took my magic, apparently…but not my flight, thankfully. He took the power from the amulets, too."

Finn glances at Jake. "Hey, that's good! We don't use magic a lot." He studies his foot. "Flip! What the zip? I cut myself." There's a gash on the side of his ankle, oozing red blood. I stare at it.

"That's a weird color," I say. "My blood's rainbow. Like oil on water."

"That's because Finn's a human," Jake says. "Weird, huh?"

"I only know of one other human," Finn tells me. "Her name's Susan Strong. She lives in a sewer."

I nod. "Uh huh. Well, I'm half human."

Jake grins. "Hey, maybe you twos are related!" Finn pales noticeably.

"That's not likely," I say. "There's pictures of my dad, he's dark haired, not blond."

Finn shrugs, looking relieved. "Well, never mind that! What the glob are we gonna do now?"

I stare up through the clouds. "I dunno. We can't get back up there again…"

Suddenly I can see a speck in the white clouds, and a chill runs down my back.

"Your hair's turning gray!" Finn exclaims. "What's wrong?"

I point a shaking finger at the speck, drawing closer every second. It's dark, purple-haired, and very, very angry…

"The Duke!" Finn shrieks, and leaps to his feet.

"Do you have any arrows?" I call to the hero.

"Yeah, check my bag," he says. I rifle through the green backpack: gum, a cellphone, daggers, an old moldy sandwich, the horn of a manticore…There! I pull out a bow and a quiver of arrows. "Perfect."

The Duke lands, so hard he makes a crater in the ground where he stands. "So! This is Ooo." he smiles and a shiver runs down my back. "How…quaint."

"You're going down, Duke!" Jake yells. "Down like…like…gravity!"

Finn yells and flies at the Duke with his sword, slicing the air. The Duke's gone, moved so fast he's invisible for a moment. Suddenly he's behind Finn, raising a glowing hand. Finn dodges, and the villian's hand comes down on the earth, burning the grass.

"I'm coming, man," Jake says, and sticks his head between the opponents, flipping the Duke onto his back. He swears loudly, but is soon back on his feet and points a finger at Finn. Finn can't move, and Jake's not facing the right way to do anything. Thinking quickly, I notch an arrow to the bow and take aim.

The arrow flies straight, hitting the cloud demon in the middle of the forhead. But he laughs and pulls it out clean. "I'm not so easy to kill!" he laughs. But Finn's able to move now and Jake's back in the game.

"Hi-YAH!" Finn screams, snap kicking the Duke in the chin, knocking his face back. He laughs and slaps Finn across the face, sending him to the ground.

I search my memory for some sort of information on cloud demons, something I learned from that school that could help me and Finn and Jake.

Suddenly a thought comes to me. I'm not completely sure, but it's worth a shot. Finn is circling the magic-stealer, their eyes trained on each other. As the Duke turns toward me again, I notch another arrow and take aim again.

The arrow hits him in just the right place, and I pray to Glob that I'm right, because if I'm not we're screwed.

He screams, which I take as a good sign. Silver, mercury-like liquid pours from the wound and he screams again, cursing in ways I didn't even know were possible.

Suddenly he's ripping apart from the wound, and colors are flying from inside him. Most of it shoots into the clouds, where I suppose the other girls were. Two fly into Finn and Jake's amulets, and they begin to float off the ground.

A brilliant ray of rainbow-colored light shoots straight into me, and I can feel it filling me up from all over. Wiggling my fingers, I can remember exactly what happened. Pointing my hand at a tree, I decide to try it out.

The tree turns a brilliant orange, and I laugh, knowing that I finally have my power back. Finn grins at me from his spot above me.

"Looks like you've got your magic back!" he says. "Good for you! We should go save those other princesses."

I nod and float up next to him. "Let's do it!"

0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~

When we've gotten all the girls down and sent them on their way, Finn turns to talk to me.

"Well, I guess…you've got to go back to your castle now," he says, a little bit sadly.

"Well," I say, "Not really. I don't have all my memories back, after all."

Jake gawks at me. "Huh?"

"I can remember everything up to the point when the Duke took my powers and I was in there for a while, but I don't know how I got out again. Or why I was falling through the air."

"So…we're gonna keep going?" Finn asked.

"Yeah, sorry to keep you," I say, shrugging.

He grins. "Nah, this is fun! I don't usually get to hang out with another human!"

Jake sighs. "So now where do we start?"

"I've got a name," I say. "Or a word. Or whatever. 'Morennia'."

Finn glances at Jake. "Any idea what that is?"

Jake shruggs back. "Nope."

Finn sighs, long and loud. "Back to PB, then!"

I grin. "Well, I guess…

"It's Adventure Time!"

A/N: Okay so I couldn't resist the Adventure Time thing at the end. Sorry. Who—or what is Morrenia? How did Iris escape the clutches of the terrible Duke? Why can't I stop talking in questions?

Please review, I really like to hear from you guys?
