Fionna stared at the house in horror. "Mauhulakh!"
Marshall morphed into his bat form and was just about to lunge at Ashley when suddenly three more demons ambushed them, purposefully attacking him and forcing him to defend himself. Fionna retrieved her sword and pointed it at Marshall's crazy ex-girlfriend. She was wearing skintight black leggings, a red halter top, spiked metal boots, and the sides of her head were shaved giving her a spikey white Mohawk.
"Oh Fionna. Little, human Fionna. Killing you will be a thrill!"
She dove at Fionna with her hands outstretched and claws bared; only managing to come within five feet of her before she reeled away hissing and holding her boiling hands to her chest.
"WHAT IS THAT?"
Fionna smirked and thanked herself for continuing to wear the charm even after the fight with Marshall on the mountain instead of throwing it away. Ashley glared daggers at her from her spot in the air as Fionna pointed her sword at her.
"Why are you attacking us?!"
"Hmph! When Heather told me she needed a little bug exterminated I jumped at the chance when I found out it was YOU!"
"That is SO not cool Ashley. What's your problem anyway?"
"My problem is YOU! I almost had my Marshmallow back under my thumb and YOU screwed up my plans!"
Fionna snickered. "Pfft, Marshmallow?"
She could hear Marshall Lee not far away shout, "I told you not to call me that!"
Ashley made fists so tight her nails broke the skin of her palm, blood dripping out from under her fingers.
"YOU destroyed my plans, humiliated me, and got me arrested!"
"Oh yeah I saw that in the paper. 'Ashley Pinkerton arrested and charged with Fencing Stolen Property, Impersonating a Wizard, Stealing Memories, and Being a General Pain in the Butt'."
"YOU messed up my plans! I always get what I want, always!"
"From what I can remember you're a spoiled, controlling, inconsiderate, vain, selfish, sexist pig!"
"WHAT?!"
Ashley made a motion as if she were slamming her fists on a table and fire surged up, surrounding Fionna and Cake.
"Ugh I hate pyrokinesis!"
Cake and Fionna dodged fireballs coming at them until they came up with an idea. Cake turned herself into a slingshot and rocketed Fionna at Ashley. She caught her by the shoulders and dropped them both to the ground, Ashley's skin bubbling violently as if she were in direct sunlight.
She managed to kick Fionna away and scurry out of the charm's target area, her flesh regenerating. Letting out a scream she began flinging things at Fionna using telekinesis. Fionna batted away stone and large pieces of flaming wood using her sword while searching for an opening. She hit a rock with enough force to send it careening into Ashley's face, who couldn't block it because she was too hysterical.
Ashley flailed her arms and began splintering the wood and stone into shards, shooting them at Fionna who barely managed to duck behind a large boulder in time. Cake was also behind it trying to avoid the projectiles.
"She's completely out of control! Your pendant must have freaked her out."
"Yeah I noticed. How should we do this?"
"We-WOAH!"
The rock lifted up as Ashely let out a scream, Fionna and Cake jumping out of the way as she tried to squish them like it was some sadistic game of whack-a-mole.
"AGH!"
"Cake!"
Fionna ran to her sister and looked at the splintered stone stuck along her side. Ashley had cheap shot Cake while they were dodging the stone, her massive tantrum allowing her to hurl more than one thing at once. She stood in front of her and swat away the pieces that flew at them, scooping Cake up every time they needed to dodge. She felt terrible because every quick movement pushed the shards in farther and caused her to groan in pain. She finally managed to reach a ledge and dropped down, laying Cake on the ground and discreetly placing the charm around her neck. She leapt back, sword ready, and rushed Ashley with a battle cry closing in enough to force her back into the sky. Fire leapt up around her as she sprinted through the circle of flame before it could close and leapt up high enough to slice Ashley's ankle with her blade. She flew higher, clutching her wound in both hands.
"Owowowow you little ankle biter!"
"ASHLEY!"
Marshall had finally disposed of Ashley's lackeys and flew towards her in his bat form, forcing her into hand-to-hand combat. Fionna kept her sword ready in case anything went wrong and watched as they clawed at each other. A sickening cry could be heard as Marshall broke some of her bones and she finally managed to break away.
"Ashley look out!"
Fionna tried to warn her, but Ashley was too incased in her own insanity to realize she was throwing herself into the pyre she had made of Mauhulakh's home. Marshall and Fionna were helpless to retrieve her before she burnt to death, the rancid odor of burning flesh permeating the air making them both gag. Marshall reverted back to his humanoid form and Fionna hurried to him. Now that the thick fur was gone she could see several deep cuts on his chest and face bleeding.
"Marshall, are you ok?!"
"Yeah, let's get out of here before anyone else comes."
Fionna hurried and grabbed Cake as Marshall opened the portal and they rushed through, the rift closing and muting the crackle of all-consuming fire.
