Chapter 4- Under the Rubble
"Princess?"
"Finn!"
"What?" Exclaimed the Lich. "Impossible!"
Finn shielded the princess and said, "Loving someone is never impossible!"
"It doesn't matter now, Ooo has almost completely vanished, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. A great hero? You are not!"
"Greatness is not strength or power. It's pureness of heart, which you lack. Oh, wait. You don't have a heart! Just get out of here! You've destroyed our home, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, messes with my friends!" With the last words, Finn charged and punched the Lich in the face, kicked him in the stomach, and knocked him down.
The Lich swatted him off like a bug, and cast green fire at him. Then the Lich went with a hurry that only meant trouble. He laughed evilly, casting spell after spell that wasn't meant to hit anything, just to show power.
Finn groaned in pain while he lay fallen on the ground. Princess Bubblegum ran over to him and helped him to his feet.
"Don't hurt yourself like that, Finn."
"I have to defeat him!"
"No, Finn. It's no use. He has reached his power and we can't stop him."
"Don't talk like tha-"
"Just stand here. Make the moments last, my hero. Just make them last." She hugged him, and a tear fell from her cheek. Finn wiped it away, but he shed a tear as well.
"Do you mean it?" She asked.
"Mean what?"
"Do you really like me?"
"No." He said.
"Wha-?"
"I love you."
She started to laugh. "Oh, Finny!"
They kissed like they had in Lemongrab's dungeon... this time, no one aged, but light came upon the barren plain they had been sent to.
Trees and buildings and other structures came into view. But when everything was in sight, it was not a happy place.
Candy people left fallen on the ground with frozen terrified expressions that will burn into your eyes. A sad demolition scene that would haunt you forever. Only few of the candy citizens were spared; but badly hurt with injuries to horrific to treat.
Else where, the tall snow covered caps of the Ice Kingdom were on the ground, shattered like glass. A lifeless blue figure lay on the ash covered snow, along with other penguins.
Everything was silent.
The boy looked at the scene, and saw something. He bent down to pull it out of the wreckage. It was the sweater. He put it on.
"Jake?" Finn tried to yell, but it was a sad whisper. "Buddy?"
"Lady?" The princess joined. "Peppermint Butler?"
"Squeak!"
"What the-?"
The pair turned around. "Science!" They both exclaimed. They moment of joy they had experienced then was interrupted by Science scrambling over to a pile of fallen cotton candy trees.
"What is it, girl?" PB asked.
"I think something's under here." Figured Finn.
They started to move the branches and rubble when they spotted a gold-colored paw under a large plank of peanut-brittle from the draw bridge to the castle.
"Oh, no." Sniffed the princess.
Finn removed the plank to reveal his friend. Next to him a mane of a ranicorn was shown to be buried under neighboring rubble.
Princess Bubblegum buried her head into Finn's shoulder. He tried to comfort her by giving her a hug, but it was no use. They both were crying.
"It- it's o-ok, princess..." he managed to say.
Both knew, though, it wasn't.
