"Come on People, pick up the pace. Our enemies will be here soon." Bonnibel ordered to the Banana guards. They are digging a two feet trench that it will serve as a cover while they wait. She knew exposing too much can be a bad sign. It was raining, and on top of that, it was night time. By now there are on the grasslands for the whole day. They are preparing for the invasion since yesterday everyone was already exhausted.
She was exhausted, panting hard. Her bubblegum hair is a mess. Despite this her mind is sharp, alert to any urgent or sudden news regarding the invasion. Finn meanwhile, is already shirtless, helping with the trench work. Jake was also tired as well. For the past hour she herself also took a shovel and helps the others, until her arms gave up on her. Finn sat her down for a while.
She looks at Finn who is busy driving the shovel deep in the wet soil. Despite all the tensions of war and chaos, she could not help but stare at his amazing body. 'He is so muscular for his age.' She thought, smiling. These are the small things that kept her moving even if everything around her falls.
Finn look back at her and noticed that she was staring mindlessly. "Hey are you okay Peebles?" he asked, putting his elbow on the handle of the shovel, unintentionally 'sexy' posing making Bonnibel blush.
"I-I'm okay, take it easy Finn, I don't want you to get tired too much." She said as she look away. Her words meant two meanings and Finn understands what she meant, he smirk.
"Don't worry I have a lot of energy for later." He said smiling blushing as well.
"What do you mean?" she asked still not looking at him.
"you know what I mean, I can't believe you can still think like that even in the brink of war. You're really something."
This time she looked at him, "that's not what I meant Finn... I was thinking about your energy, we need all the hands we can get, I don't want you to pass out in battle."
The human shrugged and begins to continue his work, "Whatever, candy girl" he made sure that it will sound dirty as possible. Bonnibel's face went tomato red.
She was about to reply when, her communicator on her wrist beeped. "What is it Beemo?"
"Princess, the Slime tanks screeched to a halt in the badlands, they've crossed the swamp section, they will have to go around them. However the invasion from the east has managed to spread out allowing them to fan out their forces in large formations and within twelve hours, they will reach the grassland border. In other words, the robots will more like attack first."
"Great, my strategy is for the tanks!" she said frustrated as she slammed her fist on the ground.
"Princess this might be the right time to launch the Mk VII, the suit can thin out the robots before it can get there."
"No, I want to fight this one on my own. I depend too much on something I am really not."
Beemo sighed, "Alright Princess, the suit will be ready when you ask for it."
"How's the Kingdom?"
"The Candy Citizens have already evacuated to the castle, the Gumball Guardians are on high alert."
"That's good, keep me posted."
"Will do." She ended the transmission.
Finn and Jake came to her and sat beside her. "Man, I'm out for today. Beside I think we are nearly finished." Finn began.
"Yeah, I don't believe we are going to deal this in number, as if one is already bad enough." Jake added, remembering when they first encounter the tanks in Blargetha's room storage.
"Don't worry guys, we can handle this. Have faith and we will win. We just have to be strong. Glob will help us."
"Yeah, for you I will be strong." Finn smiled at her.
"I am already strong."
"Jake, did you manage to call for help?"
The magical dog nodded, "Yes, I've called the known strongest persons in Ooo, also Flambo promised to get some help as well."
"Did they told when they will arrived?"
"Eh... no... no..." Jake eyes dropped.
Bonnibel just sighed sadly, Finn goes in to save her sinking spirit. He held her hand, and squeeze to reassure her. "They will come, they will come, we have done them favours, maybe its time they will return it right Jake?" he looks at her adoptive brother for support.
"Yeah, knowing them, they will come, maybe just in time to save the day." The dog said, cheerfully. In truth he has doubts that the people he called for help might not respond. Still it doesn't stop a part of him, from thinking positively.
"Finn, take her back to the tree house, get some rest, I will take charge here, I will also contact Lady again."
"You contact Lady?" Bonnibel asked.
"Yeah, she says her father is now appealing to send help."
Bonnibel's features light up a little, "Tell her, 'thank you'"
"No problem, get some rest for now." He said before setting off to over see the trench work. Most of the Banana guards were already resting; the candy copters are frequently landing to send more reinforcements.
The tree fort was not far from the front lines, Finn carried Bonnibel bridal style once they were out sight from anyone. She was purring softly as she rested her head on his shoulder. Finn just smiled, he knew his lover is comfortable at his arms. He too is comfortable seeing her at that state.
"We are here" he said as he reached for the door of the tree fort.
It was dark, no candle lights were lit, they are both soaked and tired. Finn walked towards the ladder on the way to the living room, he dropped Bonnibel at the base as he lit up a candle.
"Hold it" he said, which she complied.
He carried her again, and went to the living room. he sat her down again in the couch. Finn lit up the candles all the way to the bed room. "Sorry about that, I still can't afford light bulbs"
She chuckled tiredly, "Don't worry I will made one next time." She stood up and kissed his cheek. They went upstairs, the room never change, still full of stuff from Finn's adventures, the bed was still the same. Bonnibel couldn't help but remember their first night three months ago.
"This room started it all..." she said suddenly.
He looked at her confused for a moment then caught up with what she meant. "Oh yeah, yeah, the place where you put your charms in me and made me fell head over ears."
"You're way over reacting..." she chuckled as she sets down her weapons beside Finn's.
"I know, so how about we relive that moment eh?"
"I don't know Finn..." she yawned, "...I'm too tired for that."
Looking down, he sighed but he was suddenly grabbed by his shirt and next thing he knows he was lying on his bed, and two soft delicate hands are wandering his torso.
"I thought you were tired" he said smirking.
"I am, tired of thinking the past, how about we reset the whole thing instead. Please me hero... take away my burden tonight." She seductively said as she zipped down her soaking science suit, making Finn stare again in her hot sexy body. He couldn't stop marvelling at what she has to offer.
Without anymore hesitations, Finn flipped the tables around and began her assault on her body, he knew this might be the last time they are going to be intimate. They both don't know what tomorrow could bring to them, war is upon them soon. But that can wait, at least for now. The tree fort once again echoed the sounds of love, pleasure, and moans as the two pleasure their way into each other.
Dawn breaks as the room was lit up with sunlight rays. Finn woke up early, he notice Bonnibel was not at her side but at his front, she was wearing her lingerie and already suiting up her science suit. Her hair was do into a ponytail, here face was sad but determine.
She looks at him and said with a strong tone. "Come on Finn, war is upon us."
"How do you know?"
"Beemo contacted me earlier, he said that the robot army is already in the Ice Kingdom, several penguins fled as the menace swept them off their flippers." She said, making Finn jump up and suit up as well.
"Well we might as well get going." He said as he put up his shirt.
Suddenly the sound of helicopters echoed outside followed by series of explosions and gunfire. "It has began, come on" he grabbed her hand and led her towards the boat on top of the tree house.
They both saw the commotion as the series of Candy copters passes over head and headed towards the Ice Kingdom, smoke was already apparent in the snowy covered plains as they saw a line of helicopters blasting away at the horizon. One by one the helicopters were backing out, returning to the candy kingdom to rearm and refuel. Only to be replaced by newer ones. Some helicopters dropped reinforcements at the frontlines. They could saw the Banana guards lining up for battle and Jake is ordering them along with the Banana guard captain beside him.
"Come on Finn, we can't just watch here." She said as she went back to the bedroom to grab her weapons and Finn's Blood Sword." She threw it at him and rushed out to the frontlines.
The sound of helicopters was already deafening once they reached the front lines. The Banana guards saluted at her once she arrived, "What's the status!?" she said to the captain.
"Princess, the enemy is already close to our, lines I've taken the liberty to attack them with our candy copters before they get too close. Forgive me for not letting you know of my actions." He said.
"It's alright, you done the right thing, good job soldier!" she said over the noise.
Finn met Jake and the best buds hugged each other. "Finn, glad you made it! This is bad man, I saw them, they are like millions of them, flooding the entire field of their evil presence, we can't win this!"
"Have faith, bro, we can do this, or we die trying!" he said, his face was determine, they has to come out of this alive, he wants to be with Bonnibel, and he knew she wants the same thing. They have to!
"I was afraid you say that." Jake replied, nervously.
"Besides you said you asked for help right?"
"Yeah but I don't know if they come or not."
"Have. Faith." He said tapping his brother's shoulder, Jake smiled then his hands enlarge a little and cracked his knuckles. Finn drew out his sword.
"Banana Guards of the Candy Kingdom, today you will fight for our land, this foes we face we be nothing at the sweetness of our fury! They will be trampled and destroy for I promise you a week of party when we pull this through. So fight! Fight for out land, our kingdom, for Ooo!" she said as she cocked her Ball Blam Burglerber rifle in her arms and raised it up high.
"HOORAH!" they all shouted in unison as they raised their spears up high.
"FORMATION!" she bellowed out getting behind of the line, but not too far back, enough to gave orders. Finn and Jake went beside her.
The Banana guards lined up, and marched forward. Their spears brandished in front of them ready to stab and slash. Every one is determine, determine to get a week worth of party after this war.
At exactly 100 feet from their trench lines, she ordered her force to stop. She planned that they will not decide to stay forward too far away from the trenches, she knew the vast grass lands offers less cover for her force once Blargetha's tanks began rolling in, they will be sitting ducks if that happen. "HOLD!"
At her words they all stop in unison. A few silence as the candy copters all pulled out, they've done what they can and returned to their position, ready when the princess ordered them, she doesn't want her aces cards appeared just yet.
The ground then shakes, as the sound of marching grew louder and louder.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
Soon they all saw the large formation of robots marching towards them, all are look menacing, send shivers and trembles at their enemies. Their right fore hands are raised up revealing their wrist blasters. Their blades on their left hands were brandished on the left.
"HOLD! HOLD!" she ordered again, her captain copying her orders. Finn stayed in front of her while Jake is on her left. She cocked her rifle again making sure the ball bullets are loaded to the chamber of her gun.
The marching stops at exactly 100 feet opposite of them, as they all raised their blasters at Bonnibel's force. At robot with a yellow markings on its shoulders appeared, he motioned his arms at their enemy. Bonnibel figured out that this is the robot's commander. "FIRE!" the robot said.
BLAM! the sound of blasters fired at the same time echoed in the vast grass lands. The red light makes its way towards Bonnibel and her force.
"DEFENSIVE WALL!" she immediately ordered, immediately the first three lines of Banana Guards sticked together side by side like a wall absorbing all of the volley of blaster fire. Fortunately the guards were sturdy enough to resist the intense of the blasters. They only wince a little, nothing more.
Another volley was rained upon them, Bonnibel studied their strategy, and clearly the robots were fighting the same style as the humans do back in the 18th century. After the third volley of fire, the robot commander ordered "forward." The machines began marching again, this time readying their blades.
"And so it begins" she said as she swung her rifle on her shoulder and start shooting at the incoming machines.
BANG! BANG! BANG! One by one the machines began to fall as she hits their head, a candy marksman. "Nice shootin Tex.." Finn complimented. Jake chuckled.
She blushed "Thank you" as she fired her rifle. Once it ran out of ammo, she swung it behind her back and drew out her retractable plasma sword. "CHARGE!" she roared.
"HOORAH!" her force roared fiercely as they charge the machines with great determination. At the few moments the peaceful verdant plains will turned into a battle field. At 25 feet, the banana guards aimed their weapons forwards finding their targets.
3...
2...
1...
CRASH! CLASH! CLANK! The sound was deafening, as if everyone blew up at the same time. The robots immediately took tolls as they were skewered by the long spears. One Banana guard manage to make a kebab as he manage to skewer four machines on his spear and uses them as a battering ram to smash more.
Finn on the other kept an eye on Bonnibel's back as he slash and stab the machine that both come at him and her. Bonnibel was doing the same. It was a surprise that they lost Jake in the middle of the chaos. The couple stood side by side. "I'm not leaving your side!" Finn said as he cut down the robots that come after them.
"Me too!" she replied as she dodged an attempted tackled and stab her sword deeply at the attacking machine. She then threw it to the ground, before blocking an incoming attack on her left and countering the attack on her right, clearly getting her hands full. "BACK OFF!" she shouted as she pushed the machines away from her with all her might, then slashing them before they could recover.
The battle lasted now for for an hour. And it taking it's tall on all of them. Bonnibel was getting tired, she can't keep her guard up the same as earlier, every one and then, Finn blocked the attacks for her. She knew her force was outnumbered 10 to 1. She only has at least 150 Banana guards, against more than 1,000 machines. She knew the machines kept coming and they can't hold on much longer.
Suddenly a series of machines were cut down without anyone cutting them, Finn and Bonnibel looked confused for a moment then they saw the familiar object in the form of an axe slashed through another group of machines. "Marcy!" Finn shouted.
Marceline, wearing the Nightingale came to their rescue. Holding her axe base, as she raised her left hand to fire a stream of repulsor blast on the incoming wave, destroying them instantly, then looked at the tired Bonnibel.
"I came here not to see you die or lose Bonnie!" she said then adding "Besides I would like to see your confession to the world."
"Thank you" the princess replied, Marceline just nodded at her.
"For the record, I didn't come here alone, I brought some friends."
At her words Finn heard a familiar scream, a voice he never heard for a while.
"SSUSSSAAANNNN!" the voice echoed the battlefield before a huge boulder flew overhead and crash landed on the row of machines. Finn, Jake, Bonnibel look dumbfounded at the sight, before looking the other direction to see robots flying through the air, they saw what Marceline is talking about. Susan Strong.
"Susan!" Finn exclaimed.
Susan looked at them and wave before throwing another hapless robot into the air, "Finn, I come to help. I brought friends!" she said as a large group of blue and green skinned humanoids carrying barbaric armor and weapons charged at the machine crushing them. Again Finn and Jake smiled at the sight. She was talking about the Marauders. They've come to help as well.
The sight of the reinforcements, and their dwindling wave, the robot commander ordered the retreat to regroup and prepare for another attack. The Banana guards cheered at the sight but Bonnibel stopped them.
"HOLD YOUR GROUND, THEY ARE JUST REGROUPING!" Bonnibel said as her Banana force formed up another line.
The Marauder Chieftain and Susan approached Finn and others, "Can you believe this girl Finn? She so strong that she defeated my entire village single handed!" the chieftain exclaimed. "Guess this is better than roughhousing eh?" he laughed as he swung his sword in his right hand and his mace on his left. The other marauders did the same. Susan just cracked her knuckles.
Jake approached the strong woman. "Uh, Susan?"
"Yes...?" she turned to face him.
"Hey I'm sorry if I called you crazy back then, I thought you were just making things up."
She patted his head. "It's alright, Susan understands."
"Thanks, Susan..." Jake said before they look back to the gathering machines.
"Here we go again" Bonnibel muttered, before turning towards the reinforcements she just got. "I thank you all for coming and help me, save my Kingdom; you will gratefully reward for your actions." She said the sign of relief was in her eyes.
"Hey anything for Finn here, he did a good job back in our village, he help everyone at the same time." The chieftain said, the others behind him agreed, remembering the 'Boom Boom mountain' incident.
Susan just smiled at her, "Anything for Finn's friends... you are my friend too." She said taking her greasy hands.
"Thank you Susan." She then looked at Marceline, the vampire crossed her arms on her chest.
"Thank me later, Bonnie." She said as she drew her axe base once more. "This is not yet over."
The Machine began to do the same tactics as before, line up for a barrage of blaster fire. Bonnibel ordered a wall formation for her Banana guards ready to block the incoming barrage of blaster fire.
"Fire!" the commander ordered. Another barrage was let loose, however it never reached Bonnibel's coalition. The blaster fire was absorbed by a thick wall of fire that suddenly appeared between the two forces. The Banana guards were awed at the sight so does Bonnibel and the others behind her.
The fire then suddenly formed a feminine shaped body, shrinking the wall as it formed. Until finally the familiar look of Flame Princess appeared. She wore her royal copper armour along with a red royal cape, looking like a comic book superhero. She looked behind her and smile, "Hey guys, sorry I'm late." She happily said as she flew towards Bonnibel and hugged her to much to everyone's surprise.
"It's alright, how do you know about this?"
"Flambo told me, and he said, Jake told him that you need help." She said looking at Jake.
The Magical dog laugh nervously and shrugged.
"I didn't come alone too" she snapped her fingers and Bonnibel's right flank were set ablaze, the Banana guards on that side, gasped as they back away from the fire, afraid of getting burned. Fortunately the fire immediately died as soon it was lit. But the now, it now filled with more than 200 royal fire guards, standing in attention, armed with their fire spears and ready for battle.
"WHOA!" Finn, Jake, Marceline, Susan, Bonnibel, and the Marauders exclaimed at the sight. They all know that the Fire Kingdom is one of the strongest military force on Ooo, they have one the finest warriors. They knew that fighting side by side with them will ultimately win a battle.
And right now, they are fighting side by side with Bonnibel Bubblegum.
"...I brought my friends too." Flame Princess finished crossing her arms and smiling. Finn notice there is a hint of smugness in her face. She likes showing off sometimes.
One of the soldiers approached them, wearing an armor that is more fashioned than regular soldiers, they guess it was a Captain.
"My Queen the forces are ready, waiting for your orders." He said. Flame Princess approached him and smiled.
"No need for formalities brother..." she said as she introduced her older brother to the others. When it comes to Finn he smiled.
"So you are the one they called Finn the Human. Father told me about you."
"Yeah" Finn raised an eyebrow rather suspiciously.
"He said your a total jerk, but I don't believe him anyway." He shrugged before chuckling a little. "My little sister, said you are awesome..." Flame Princess blushes a little.
Finn is about to reply when Jake interrupted them. "Eh, guys... they are going to attack again."
"POSISTIONS! POSISTIONS!" Bonnibel ordered, Flame Princess' brother ran back towards the fire guards, also shouting the same thing. Flame Princess' hands turned into fire swords. Then looking at them, "Shall we?" she asked.
"Heck yeah!" Finn said, brandishing his Blood Sword.
"Let's kick their metallic buns!" Jake said cracking his knuckles.
"Susan, help friends!" Susan added, doing the same thing Jake was doing.
"OH YEAH! Time for roughhousing!" the Marauder chieftain yelled his companions did the same.
"Let's get this party STARTED!" Marceline said as she slammed a deep note on her axe base before holding in it in battle stance. Her repulsors powering up, she closed her mask shut. Purple optics glowed brightly.
"FOR OOO!" Bonnibel roarded raising her sword up high!
"FOR OOO!" everyone else shouted as they charged forward.
"FOR THE QUEEN!" the fire guards added as they charge as well. Flame Princess and her brother is leading them.
The sound of thundering battle cries echoed once more across the grasslands, as Ooo's coalition force charged towards the robots who did the same thing, they didn't not ever result to blasters anymore and going to close up and personal. Oh yeah 'ye oldie style' of warfare. At this Finn, Jake, Bonnibel, Marceline, and the others didn't need to hide anymore behind the Banana Guards they led the charge.
As the distance became close once more, the vast grass lands of Ooo will become the one of the biggest battles, since the Great Mushroom War.
