Chapter 22: The gates
The two armies charged at each other with strength and speed. If it wasn't for the undead soldiers, everyone would have been surrounded and would have been killed easily. The grass ogres and their jerkiness made the why wolves retreat back to the lair.
"Is it me, or are things finally going smoothly for once?" asked Mordecai as he jump onto a griffins back and cut off its wings, and crashed into the ground. Rigby and Ice King were back to back and freezing or zapping lightening at a group of trolls who were surrounding them. Finn was running through waves of werewolves, cutting through them and ran up a drakon's back and stabbing it in the head. Marceline and Jake were fighting a back of giants, stabbing them in the gut or in the chest. Flame Princess was shooting fire to sand soldiers and it was not looking good for her.
"Finn, I need your help now. I just can not kill these sand soldiers. What I do, they just get back up," Flame Princess told Finn as she flew to him.
"Okay. Try to imagine a fire sword with the just of your powers. Then go out there and cut of their heads," Finn told Flame Princess, "Or we can stay here and let them out number us, and let our mission fail." They were surrounded by sand soldiers and flame soldiers, but then Ice King, Jake, Mordecai, Marceline and Rigby jumped into the whole and circled up.
"Let me see here. Seven of us and about roughly two hundred of you guys," Rigby started to say to the enemies, "Well it looks very unfair to your guys." The group ran off into different directions killing them all and they sealing the gates so no one would be able to come inside and help the Lich escape or attack the army.
"I can not believe it. We are about to fight the most dangerous creature in Ooo. We need to make a battle plan now," Jake told everyone as he charged his hand back to a regular hand than a hand with sharp spikes.
"Last time someone has been able to defeat him was by freezing him, which that guy was me. The time before that was Finn using his like-like sweater," Ice King explained, Finn is blushing and Flame Princess seemed a little mad, "And the time before that Billy used his gauntlet and stop him. How the hell are we going to stop him this time?"
"Easy, we work as a team. I know we do not have a sweater or a gauntlet of a hero, but we have friendship. This is who it is going to work; Ice King and Flame Princess; I want you two hit him with your elemental powers. Mordecai, I need you to be an archer for this mission; find a good hiding spot and shoot him as much as you can. Rigby and Jake; attack his legs and sides, use whatever weapons you what. Marceline, I need you to attack his last horn and cut it off. And I'll be distracting him from you guys," Finn command the group. As they were going through the doors they saw a path of destruction in the hallways and followed it. At the end of the trail they saw the Lich's main court room and Nightmare with the heads for the Lich's leaders.
"How can you just betray me like this? We had an agreement and you just betray me. You will die because of this!" The Lich yelled at his most trusted leader. The Lich saw the group in the background but did not care.
"Easy, you think you are the strongest in the universe, but there are creatures you haven't even met yet. But here is a riddle to solve everybody questions that is going on right now.
I am the nightmare that everyone fears.
But I do not just appear at night.
Four sons, four items and four worlds,
Are the keys to my mystery.
Thou the only way to find me,
Is the destruction of one world.
The sons are strong apart,
But with a group of strangers,
Working together to fight a common foe,
Will bring the universe a flare or a save."
"What the hell are they suppose to mean. What four sons, and four items?" asked the Lich in a confused, frustration voice, "I am sure I can different this guy alone."
"Well, it is time for me to leave to my master, and let you fight this battle," Nightmare told the Lich and then turned around, "Good bye heroes, we will meet again in a different land."
Finn and his group got into a striking pose ad Nightmare suddenly teleported a way. "You dare to fight me in my castle, all of you will die here!" yelled the Lich.
