Within minutes the trio landed on Fire Kingdom, Flame Princess already saw that something was not right. The once vivid streets of her kingdom were now deserted. They look around patrols of Fire Guards loyal to her walked the streets. One s quad approached them and saluted. The soldiers loyal to Flame Princess all wear a blue sash that carries the new Fire Kingdom insignia on their shoulders.

"What's the situation Captain?" Flame Princess asked.

"Your majesty your father was lock himself in the castle along with the persuaded royal guards, they forced us out with brute forces, some fell..." the captain looked down but immediately regains his composure "But we manage to block every escape passage from the castle."

"Okay good..."

"Also forgive me your majesty for I took the liberty of implying a curfew in the kingdom. To prevent innocent bystanders to get caught in the crossfire." He bowed down in respect.

"It's okay, you did the right thing, plus you said the truth." She smiled at him as the captain raise his head.

"Thank you."

"Now let's go and rally your troops, we must finish this now."

"Yes your majesty. You heard her! Move out!" the captain ordered his men as the trio lead on.

They reached the castle in no time. They saw the rest of the Fire Kingdom military wearing, blue sashes, set up a blockade perimeter around the castle. Every entrance and exit of the castle is secure; the Fire Kingdom's fleet is also blocking the lava river behind the castle. They made sure that Flame King and his followers will not escape.

However they did not intent to, as the former king stands in the balcony of the castle, looking at his former army now rallying against him, weapons poised ready to bring him down, if they can.

He then notices the new arrivals, her daughter, Finn and Bonnibel.

"Welcome back my Daughter, now time for you to go back where you originally held." He said in a sickening tone.

"Never! I will never go back to that lamp! You should be the one to be locked up for what have you done to me!" Flame Princess spat back, snarling, her eyes were blazing.

"HA! If you want to put me back there, come here in do it my daughter, make me proud and show the world how ruthless you are!" Flame King bellowed while crossing his arms.

Flame Princess was about to step forward when Finn grabbed her shoulders. She looked to him with blazing eyes.

"What?"

"FP you know better than that..." the human sighed under his breath. Bonnibel nodded before looking back towards the castle. The loyalist troops under Flame Princess' command stood ready if she gives the order.

"I know Finn... It's just I don't want to make the Fire Kingdom be hated again in Ooo..." she sighed, her eyes returning to normal. But her body went a blaze in a blink then disappeared but showing her wearing her royal copper armor. She continued to walk calmly towards the gate, Finn, Bonnibel and a squad of loyalist followed her, weapons ready.

"Go in head on will be suicide" Bonnibel said as she analyzed the castle.

"It's okay, I really want dad to see how formidable am I." The fire elemental said with overconfidence. Bonnibel just rolled her eyes.

Flame Princess blasted the doors opened, and stepped inside. Immediately a platoon of the rebel royal guards appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. The rebel guard captain appeared on the balcony of the lobby.

"Drop your weapons, we got you surrounded." He ordered.

"You wish Traitor!" one of the loyalist soldiers shouted back. Flame Princess and the others set to battle stance. It's on now!

"Kill them all!" the captain ordered.

The rebels attack in all directions spears pointing at Flame Princess' group, aiming to ending this quickly. Unfortunately, they were ready. In the blink of an eye, Flame Princess slashed the two rebels with her Flame Sword. The guards stopping in their tracks dead, Bonnibel and Finn covered each others back as they used their repulsor blasters to knock the rebels back. The loyalist soldiers engaged their traitorous brethren in brutal hand to hand combat. Minutes later more reinforcements from both sides arrived at the battle torn castle lobby.

"Flame Princess, Go! Deal with our father, we got these traitors here!" Flame Princess' brother said as he led the new loyalist reinforcements.

"Okay Brother, be careful!" she said as she headed towards a nearby corridor.

"FP wait, we got your back" Finn said as he and Bonnibel followed behind her.


They walked the corridor of the castle, defenses up and weapons ready, soon they about to reach the doors of the throne room. Flame Princess sighed deeply, her left hand also formed into a sword.

"It doesn't need to end this way" she muttered.

"But it does, we just have to deal with it." Finn said.

"Yeah"

"We need a plan, your dad might got something installed for us. I mean if he knew that you are more powerful than him, why stand up with overconfidence now and fearless to face you? He must have something that might defeat you so keep alert." Bonnibel thought.

Flame Princess nodded in agreement, "Yeah, guards up!"

"What's the plan...?" Finn looked towards his lover.

"Uhh... we go in and see what it's install for us." She shrugged.

"That's the plan? I thought you had something better." Finn said in surprise. Bonnibel normally don't use head on tactics.

"Uhh, Finn I concur with Bonnie, right now there is one way to find out what it is."

"Yeah we do." Bonnibel then pressed something in her left forearm. "Beemo, get the Mk VIII ready"

"Princess, I don't think Shoko will be suitable in the environment." Beemo protested.

"I know that just do it." Beemo just hummed in surrender. The computer controlled the Mk VIII and makes a bee line to the fire kingdom.

"Why did you need the Mk VII?" Finn asked confused.

"I gotta feeling I'm gonna lend this armor to FP... I don't know just a feeling." She whispered, making sure Flame Princess will not here their conversation.

"Okay, here we go." Flame Princess opened the doors of the throne room.

They found Flame King sitting once more on the throne. He was flanked by the detachment, of elite royal guards, the best of the best. They stood ready and waiting.

"Welcome my evil daughter, ready to challenge your old man?" Flame King said as he stood up.

"Don't call me that!" Flame Princess' eyes went ablaze again, showing that she mean it.

"What? Evil? Come on Flame Princess, you and I know that evil is in you nature right?" he smirked evilly.

"No that's not me. Not the way you want me to be." She shook her head.

"Fine then." He suddenly shot a fire blast towards her daughter. The trio immediately dodges the attack and stood ready.

"If I can't convince you with words, I will teach you the lesson the hard way!" he turned to his men. "Deal with her companions, I want their heads. I will deal with my daughter."

The guards attacked, Finn and Bonnibel in a close combat. Flame King approached her daughter as he cracked her fiery knuckles. Flame Princess just raised her swords to her eye level, as if she using it as sights to aim at her father.

Flame King threw a fire ball again, but her daughter simply split the flames in half with her sword before lunging at him. The former king just evades her daughter's attack as she swings her sword in effort to cut him down. One attack was a close call for Flame King was force to block her left sword with his arm. The armor crack a little.

"That's it your grounded young lady." He said as he grabbed her blade tugging her forward to him and sends his fist towards her abdomen. He applied not to much force on his punch just enough for her daughter to back down. Unfortunately she didn't.

"It's gonna take more than that dad!" she hissed.

"Okay, then how about this!" he quickly draws the Elixir from behind him and shoots it towards her daughter. The white beam immediately crawled throughout her body and she screamed in pain. Bonnibel and others stopped fighting to see what's going on.

"Oh no." Bonnibel said as she realized what was on Flame King's hand.

"FP!" Finn shouted before he was tackled down by two rebels. "Let go of me!" he blasted them off him and went to help Flame Princess who was now on her knees. Bonnibel stopped him,

"Wait. Flame King is using the Elixir..."

"So I don't care!"

"Don't be foolish Finn, I got an idea. My suit can protect her."

"How!?"

"This is also powered by the Elixir; my theory is that they will cancel each other out."

"Theory!?

"It's worth a shot, now blast the device out of his hand."

Finn aimed the gun on his back and shot a laser bolt at Flame King's hand the device flew away from his hand. Bonnibel then grabbed the weaken Flame Princess and hauled her away. Finn stepped in to stall Flame King.

"FP are you okay?" Bonnibel said as her HUD is scanning her vitals, she is fine.

"I'm okay, gee he drained my powers for a second there."

"He is using the Elixir, the same power source for my suit. I got an idea, use my suit. His device might be rendered useless if he uses it again against you. They will cancel each other out."

"That's worth a shot" Flame Princess said as she stood up, she felt her powers going back.

"Beemo give me suit!"

Immediately the Mk VIII appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Bonnibel, its back side immediately opened. Flame Princess knew what she was doing so she cast a quick flame shield on Bonnibel as she stepped out of the Hot Rod and went inside Shoko. Once she established herself inside the suit, she motioned Flame Princess to step inside the now empty Mk IX.

"It's all yours."

With a nervous gulp, she stepped inside and the armor closed behind her. Flame Princess heard the suit powered up, blue HUD appeared in front of her. And she gasped in awe at it.

"Whoa this is so cool."

Then suddenly the suit shuts down again. "Huh, what's going on?" she manage to ask before she scream in pain. "AHHH!"

Bonnibel gasped in panic, as she heard her scream. "FP what is going on!"

"I... I don't know my power's weakening again." Bonnibel and Beemo both run diagnostics of the Hot Rod wondering what on earth was going on.

"Princess the suit's power core capacity is expanding, as if it is absorbing and balancing Flame Princess'-..."

"Powers" Bonnibel finished "Could it be that the suit is also balancing her elemental matrix?"

"A theory Princess but that can wait, we got a task at hand."

Then the suit powered up again and Flame Princess stopped screaming. This time the blue chest piece and optics of the suit were gone, now replace by ruby colored ones. The back of the helmet also began burning. Bonnibel first thought that the suit was burning but it wasn't, it simply just emitting her fiery aura.

"Flame Princess, are you okay?"

The fire elemental catches her breath and spoke in raspy tone. "Yeah I'm fine, actually way too fine." She said as she look at the world before her with a color red HUD.

Bonnibel ran on her vitals again and she gasped at the results. "Beemo, you seeing this?" she said.

"Yeah, Flame Princess' matrix was finally stable." The computer said.

"Flame Princess, the suit made your' powers finally stable." She said to fire elemental.

She looked at her and gasped in joy, "Really?"

"Yeah" she patted her shoulder.

"No wonder I feel fine." She smiled behind her helmet.

"Now to the tasked at hand."

At the right timing, the remaining rebel guards blocked her path, weapons ready. "Time for a little test run then." She activated the retractable cable whips beneath her arm. When she grasped it, the cables were engulfed in flames.

"This is going to get interesting, Snake Fire!" without warning she slammed her flaming whips towards the guards, the hapless foes quickly disintegrate at the cables made contact with their bodies. Their fire essence was absorbed by the suit.

"Oh yeah, the power of destruction!" she said in hungry tone as she twirled with her whips circling like a deadly spinning blade. Every rebel that caught in it were obliterated.

Some manage to slipped past her and attack Bonnibel. The candy princess simply drew her katana shaped plasma sword from her back and held it in her modified right hand. Her sword cut down both weapons and the bodies of the rebels, as her suit's highly calibrated right arm hold the sword like highly skilled swordsman. Five sliced rebel bodies went down in front of her within twenty seconds.

When all of the guards were gone, Finn suddenly announced at them, "Uhhh guys a little help here!" he said as he doing a struggle throw down with Flame King who is gaining the upper hand.

In response to that Bonnibel charged at Flame King with sword aimed at the fire elemental, Flame King simply let go of Finn and shot the Elixir towards her. She manage to block the beam with her blade leaving it dead, leaving only a sharp metal sword. "Aww nuts!" she manage to say before being blasted by a deadly fire blast. Sending her tumbling backwards. He then pick up Finn and tossed him beside her.

"Now that no one is in the way, it's just you and me my daughter." he said as he stared down at Flame Princess, who glared at him through her suit, Her HUD targeting her father's weak spots.

Without anymore ado the two lunged at each other once again in a hand to hand combat. Flame Princess used every move she'd learned from Bonnibel. Which surprised her father, as his defences began to crumble on her attacks. Finally, a metallic boot manages to hit him in the face, sending him backwards.

"My, my looks like someone is preparing for this." He said as he wiped lava from his mouth.

"I don't..." she said before raising her both arms and fire a barrage of repulsor blast towards him.

"Arrgh!" Flame King stepped back, his arms shielding his face as the intense repulsor blast hits him dead on. The repulsor blast was more powerful than regular blast since, it was powered by Flame Princess' elemental matrix.

"Enough!" Flame King roared as he draws the Elixir and shot her daughter. the white beam manage make contact with hull and she stepped back. her hands shielding her face. Her HUD is showing that the core is simply absorbing the blast coming from Flame King's elixir. The power core still remains stable. In other words, Bonnibel's theory worked.

"HA! Guess you're running out of tricks dad!" she said as her chest piece began to glow immensely.

Flame King stopped his attack and stared at her curious on what was going on. Then BLAM! a huge beam was emitted from her chest piece as she fired her Unibeam. The beam was wider and the outer beam is covered with fire, indeed it was amplified by the elemental matrix.

The hapless king was thrown back towards the throne, smashing it to pieces, the staircase on both side were also obliterated by the sheer blast power of the unibeam.

When it was over, the throne room was a complete mess. The floor was littered with the dead rebels, and broken objects. Flame King lay on his back unconscious on the spot once the throne where. Finn and Bonnibel sat up to regain their composure; they look around the mess then to Flame Princess who didn't move since the unibeam stopped.

"FP are you okay?" Finn asked with a deep concern in his voice.

"Huh, yeah I'm fine." She said as she turned to face them then lift of the mask of the suit.

"Whoa, FP the suit works well on you, so rad" he said while eying her top to bottom.

"Thanks," then she turned to Bonnibel, "Guess were even when it comes to fashion sense right?" she said rather challengingly.

Bonnibel just simply shrugged, "Can't argue with that"

They all shared a little laugh "then Finn realized something. "Wait, so about your powers FP-..."

"Don't worry Finn, the suit manage to absorb the excess power of my elemental matrix. Making me finally stable!" she cheered on the last words she uttered.

"That's great to hear."

Just then they heard a loud cheer from outside, they figure that the coup was finally over, the rebels were finally defeated, Flame Princess sighed in relief.

"Well that's over she said."

"So what now? What happens to your dad?" Bonnibel asked whiled looking at the unconscious former king.

Flame Princess looked up seeing the lamp still intact. "I only wonder how did he escaped, but he will be returned where he really belongs." She said in almost cold tone, making Finn shiver. This was the side of Flame Princess he doesn't want to deal with.

Appearing out of nowhere, Cinnamon Bun appeared carrying his pet fire wolf pup. "hey guys!" he said.

"Hey where were you all day?" Flame Princess greeted her friend.

"I was hiding, I was scared but I told you fire cat friend to look for you and help." He said, really talking about Flambo.

"Well if it wasn't for you, we didn't know this was happening so really thanks!" she hugged her friend making it laughed in delight, once she release him, he ran off with his pet.

"He really did settle here, did he?" Bonnibel manage to ask.

"Yeah he did." Flame Princess replied but not going anything further on the subject, then she notices something littered on the floor. "What's that?" she pointed at it.

Finn went to it and picked it up, then showing it to them. Bonnibel gasped in shock, while Flame Princess simply raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" Flame Princess said.

"It is an Elixir, the same thing that was on the armor you are wearing. The first time shot this into you by your dad, it absorbs you powers and store them. Like storage. I manage to reverse engineer it to make the suit. Honestly Flame Princess, I didn't expect it to make you stable, just simply shield you from it." she confessed.

"But it did, so we don't need to worry about that, so I'm giving your armor back, it's not right to claim it for myself."

Bonnibel shooked her head, "Keep it. It's yours now. It will help you impose honesty a little lot better,"

"Really?" her eyes widen at what she'd heard from her.

"Yeah" Bonnibel smiled.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Flame Princess hugged Bonnibel and planted kisses on both side of her cheeks. After a while she let go and cleared her throat in awkwardness. "Sorry about that" she muttered quietly, Finn chuckled at her actions.

"I will be taking this, Beemo needs to analyze this, and wonder how your dad got his hands on one of these. This is very rare, let alone dangerous when falling into the wrong hands." Bonnibel said while staring at the object in her hand. Her HUD is scanning its properties.

"Someone must given to him" Flame Princess said, Finn nodded.

Bonnibel shook her head; this topic is for another time. They were already exhausted from the battle. She immediately changed the topic. "So any new name for your new suit?" she asked.

Flame Princess tapped her chin, "Hmm... how about The Inferno or Inferno for short."

"Sounds great, sounds fiery" Finn said, he earned a light chuckled from Flame Princess and a death glare from Bonnibel.

"What?" he asked as he notices Bonnibel's killer stare.

"Fiery eh? How about I toast your buns?" she said in a sarcastic way.

"Hey, it's just a compliment, no harm done! You really got jealous easily."

She just laugh, she would get Finn if they go home. And she really wants to go home now.

"Flame Princess, I think its time for us to depart. It's been fun hanging out with you, despite the events that turned out."

"It's alright, things happen for a reason." The women shared a hugged.

"Thanks Finn for the time." She then proceeds to hugged Finn. Bonnibel kept a keen look as they hugged but despite this, she failed to notice that Flame Princess put something on Finn's suit compartments (Suit's pockets). He also noticed this but refused to voice it out, a fatal mistake.

They waved goodbye before blasting off, heading back towards the Candy Kingdom. Flame Princess watched them disappear on the entrance of the Fire Kingdom. Once they were out of sight, she let out a deep breath.

"Oh Finn, I really need you more than you know..."
