Fionna woke up on the cold hard ground. She tried to sit up but her head swam. It hurt so badly but she did anyway. She regained her vision and as she looked around she was horrified. She looked up to the main tower of the Candy Kingdom above her, her breath caught in her chest. Half of the tower was gone. It was smoking, billowing out of the massive whole in its side. Pieces were crumbling and falling off, there wasn't a candy person in sight.

Fionna tried to stand, pushing up with her arms. An incredible pain shot through her arm, she screamed. Looking down at her left arm she couldn't breathe. The bone was sticking out of her fore arm, bleeding heavily. Fionna had to look away, she felt numb. Her head swam again and she passed out.

Marceline and Bonnibel floated high above the burning tower. Bonnibel clung to Marceline tightly, sobbing into her shoulder. Marceline was concentrating on floating, she had not in such a long time. There were no sounds, nobody was screaming. There was nothing, because along with the burning tower the entire candy kingdom was on fire. All of the citizens were gone, dead. Bonnibel continued to sob, she knew her citizens were gone. Smoke began to billow all around and Marceline felt Bonnibel pull her head from her shoulder.

"We have to go down there." She said with a shaky voice. Bonnibel never imagined that this would be how she handled an emergency. Then again she had never experienced an emergency this large.

"Where?" Marceline asked, keeping it short so that she could focus on her main task.

"My citizens are gone, I know it. But Finn, and Fionna they could still be alive." Bonnibel said scanning the ground below them. Marceline began their decent without a word.

Finn was screaming for Fionna. He was pinned underneath rubble, still inside the tower. Fionna had fallen out of the tower when it all started. Their room collapsed and she went out the side, he tried to reach her but the part underneath him fell straight down and he was trapped under piles of wall and other things he couldn't lift. He was faced with the very real possibility that Fionna was dead. He pushed as much as he could but he could not free himself, the candy walls were made with such high density material it was ridiculous. He coughed, smoke was filling his little bubble under the rubble. Then he felt something soft brush his face, turning in the direction he saw part of a tree. The tree that was on top of the kingdom had fallen down. Fin crawled towards the leaves, pushing them away he found a broken branch that was hollow on the inside. He crawled into the branch, the opening getting bigger as he went. It was dark, so dark he couldn't see what was in front of him. After a few more minutes he was about to walk standing crouched. Then he saw a light, an amber light. He sprinted as fast as he could with the room he had. Eventually he popped out of the branch and into a giant room. It wasn't tall but long, and soon Finn recognized where he was. He was in the secret room of the tree. The one that was massively tall but very narrow. The tree was tipped on its side, and the broken pieces of seemingly glass that was giving off the glow he followed, was the amber that encased the lich. After the lich had escaped it took Finn a year to get him back into the amber. Almost costing him his life more than a dozen times. But now Finn stared at the broken, smashed amber. The lich was gone.
