Chapter 17: The war of Ooo part 1

"You... We defeated you!" Jake shouted. The Lich replied in a deep, dark laugh.

"Yes... You did. Admittedly, it was quite embarrassing to be taken down by the likes of mere mortals." He began.

"Then how are you back? It isn't possible." Princess Bubblegum said.

"Oh, it is. However, I have no interest in telling you how I returned, seeing as how you'll all be dead soon. I will, however tell you this: An... Interested party... brought me back."

"No..." Bonnie mumbled as she looked at the shattered TV. "Even they wouldn't be insane enough to..."

"That doesn't matter!" Fin shouted. He glared at the Lich. "I don't care how you came back, I'm gonna make sure you stay gone permanently this time!" The Lich gave Fin a wide, smug grin.

"Oh? And how do you plan on doing that, child?" Fin growled a bit, but before he could answer, someone came to his side

"No matter how he does it, he won't be doing it alone." Mike said with a smirk. The Lich, a bit taken aback, stared at Mike for a moment, then chuckled.

"And who are you? I see that you're human, but nothing more. A mortal. Weak." Mike grinned in response.

"Who am I? I'm nobody really. But I just wanna let you know one thing."

"What's that?" The Lich replied. Mike, again, smiled.

"I'll tell you in a bit." The Lich glared at Mike and started to approach the duo.

"Fine then. At least I'll know when you're dying breaths are near." The Lich summoned a ball of dark energy in his hand and thrusted it into the ground. Nothing happened for a few moment, but then the ground began to quake and rumble. Then, the earth below them split open and an army of bones rose up. And before their very eyes, organs, tendons, flesh and skin began covering the bones, but they were pale, with lifeless, black eyes. This was the Lich's army of the undead: every body that had fallen was now being resurrected by his dark influences. Fin gulped but stood firm, but then a placed itself on his shoulder. Fin looked at the hand and saw it belonged to his best friend; Jake.

"What Mike said. You're not doing this alone. Besides, who doesn't want bragging rights for taking down the Lich?" Jake joked. Fin smiled and noticed that Marceline, Phoebe, and Bonnabel were also at his aid. Fin smiled at them thankfully, but the small group of ten zombies doubled from a mere ten, to twenty. Then that number doubled. Bones and bodies of hero's, villains, and monsters all across the lands sprouted from the ground, thrall's of the Lich to be used for his own needs. The group huddled together as they were circled. The Lich laughed at them.

"So pathetic, to think you actually have a chance!" He bellowed. The group huddled close together. Then, an ancient warrior from long ago approached them and raised a battleaxe at them. They braced for an attack, but would never have need too, for the warrior soon became frozen in a block of ice.

"...wut?" Were the only words Fin could say. The group quickly spun around and saw none other than Ice King, flying in the air in all his majestic glory.

"Princess are meant for kidnapping! Not murdering!" He shouted as he winked at Bonnabel, who scoffed. "Guther! To arms!" IK looked back to Guther.

"Wenk." She then blew a horn, which summoned an army of penguin's who charged in and surrounded the undead legion. The Lich simply grinned.

"It'll take more than a few penguins and a washed up old man to defeat my army." He said.

"Shouldn't have jinxed yourself." A voice said from nearby. Marceline looked back and her eyes widened.

"Dad?!" She exclaimed.

"Hey sweetie. I noticed you and your little friends were in a pickle, so I gathered a few friends." Hudson Abadeer waved his hand in a gesturing motion. Everyone looked and saw portals open all across the candy kingdom and armies from all across the lands poured out. There were demons from the nightosphere, knights from the hot dog kingdom, centurions from the flame kingdom, banana guards, and countless others from all the kingdoms who agreed to the war summons and then some. Lemongrab, who made a full recovery, rode up to Hudson and the other leaders on his lemon camel.

"Brothers and sisters in arms!" He screeched. "This is the moment that will test us all! And show just how strong we truly are! Put aside our petty squabblings and join hands for a common goal! TO BATTLE!" A single tear of pride fell from Bonnabel's eye. Mike grinned as the legions of the undead clashed with the united army of Ooo.

"The only thing that can made this more awesome was a boombox playing dubstep." He said. Phoebe cocked her head.

"What's dubstep?"

"Eh... Forgetaboutit." He replied. The Lich growled angrily.

"This does nothing but delay your death's!" Fin glared back and stood his ground.

"No. This just makes kicking your butt easier!" The Lich yelled and charged at them. Fin and the others yelled and charged as well. The two opposing forces clashed in the middle. The legendary war of Ooo has officially began.
