The Knight's Journey

Back at the Candy Kingdom, Fionna and Cake dragged the Ice King to the dungeon. Prince Gumball placed his device to Simon, checking his vitals. "So? Is he the counterpart of the Ice Queen?"

"Yes. 99% like her." The prince said.

Cake then asked, "What is the 1%?"

"He has the Y chromosome." He saves the data analysis and keeps it safe for his other experiments. "I just need some more of our counterparts. I think the only way to take us back home is our counterparts."

"Alright." Marshall flies in together with Flame Prince and Ice Queen. "So, we need our counterparts. We have yours, mine, Ice Queen's, Fionna's and Cake's. What's left now is Flame Prince's." The five all eyes to the prince, standing at the back knowing nothing why they are staring at him.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

"How did we get inside the Fire Kingdom?"

The red prince just shrugged.

Then a banana guard came running towards them, bringing urgent news. "My prince! We have spotted Flame Princess gathering an army. They have Lemongrab's forces and now they are going to the Nightosphere."

Immediately, Marshall Lee knew what she's planning to do. "Oh no. Guys, we have to stop her."

"Why?" Fionna felt something bad is going to happen. If she sees Marshall worried, that means there is something supernaturally big is about to go down. "if you know something, you have to tell us now."

"Well, there were nine entities of great power who are planning to take over all reality and cause imbalance to the universe. Luckily, with the help of the cosmic gods, my mother defeated the nine and locked them up in the PIT. Now they are in the Nightosphere under the watchful eyes of my mom, they have never seen the sunlight for ten centuries now."

Prince Gumball finds it disastrous if the Flame Princess unleashes those nine entities. "Alright, we are going to the Nightosphere. Marshall, lead us there."

Fionna whispered to the vampire prince, "So, in our world, these nine are women, right?"

"No. They are all men. Their group has a cool name. Much cooler than any band name I've known."

Elsewhere, Finn and PB were sitting around, thinking a way to get out of their prison. However, they get distracted when projections of their deepest desire began to appear. An image of Flame Princess pops out before Finn and spread her arms, asking for a hug and a kiss.

He shook his head, knowing it's not real. Finn concentrates, trying not to imagine stuff. He turned to PB and saw her meditating. There are no projections around her yet. She was calm. Then images appears in front of her. Those images were flashbacks of their face-off with their counterparts. As watching for moving images, Finn now remembers what happened and how they got there.

PB's male counterpart pulls out a cube that looked exactly like the box that Ice King took from PB's lab. That thing sparked and opens a dimensional doorway and they were pulled right in. Now Finn remembers and that gives him an idea. He interrupts the princess's mediation. "Hey, PB! I have an idea!"

"It better be good, Finn?" PB doesn't like to be disturb when she is in her brain-storming mode.

"Luckily, I still have this." He reached down in his pocket and pulls out the cube. It illuminates the place, mixing its blue light with the prison's yellow light. The dimension turned natural green. That effect woke up Jake and Marceline from their dreams.

Jake rubbed his eyes, felt a little drowsy. "What? Where are we?"

Marceline hissed, not because of the light hurting her. It is not sunlight. She hissed because of its brightness, makes it like she is outside her cave and under the shining sun. "Can you turn that thing down? It hurts my eyes!" Princess Bubblegum tore the lower part of her pink dress and blindfolds Marceline's eyes. "Oh, thanks."

"So what are you planning to do, Finn?" PB asked.

"Um, I wish to get out of here!" The cube makes an eerie sound just like the rift. It was reality ripping apart again. "Hang on tight, guys! I can feel it opening something!" The surroundings began to weaken, cracks began to show at the walls of their reality-distorted prison. The cube explodes and then transforms into a portal. "Now we're talking!"

"Finn! Hold on! We are not sure if that portal can take us back!" PB checked her device, trying to clear if it's safe. However, Marceline pushed her to the portal. "Let's go." When the princess went through, the three followed. The portal closes as they got through.

"Wait just a minute. Let me get this straight." Hunson Abadeer sits straight on his dark throne and tries to clear his sharp ears up so that he could hear what he thought he heard. "You want me to release them? All nine of them? Are you out of your mind? And how do you know about them anyway?"

Flame Princess and her army intruded Hunson's beloved throne room, beating other demons who stands in their way. She turned to the Lord of Evil with her eyes of determination. "It doesn't matter how I know. All I want is their power."

"Why?" The demon wants to know more. Why is she interested with them?

She gave him a straight answer. "Princess Bubblegum, Finn, Jake and your daughter were missing because of these people." She showed him the photo of the counterparts who were now staying at Candy Kingdom. "They are more dangerous than those nine that you have kept in the PIT."

"Do you even know what the PIT means?" Hunson glared at the fire elemental.

"Prison for Inter-dimensional Terrorists. Yes, I know. Now take me there."

"Or what? Are you making a threat to the deathless king of the Nightosphere?" The demon ripped out his skin and shows his true hideous form. Most of the fire soldiers stepped back while the lemon guards retreat outside the throne room. But the princess stands firm and expresses no fear. "Take me to the PIT and I promise you this. I'll bring your daughter back."

"Hmm... and you will tell her that she will take my place as the Queen of the Nightosphere?"

Flame Princess turned to her advisors who were standing behind her. They all nod, agreeing to that deal. She answered. "Yes."

"Alright!" Hunson changes back to his regular demon form and leaves the throne room. "Follow me, princess. And tell your guards to wait here. This is a secret passage and I don't want anyone to know about it. Except you."

"Go on."

The demon leads the princess to a dark messy room. Flame Princess looks around and saw canisters of souls displayed beside the walls. Later, Hunson took her to the end of the room. There, she saw a large closet, locked up with red chains. "This is the secret passage. Wait here. I need some apple juice." He ran to his kitchen and searches for the juice. The fire soldiers heard the sounds of falling pans and broken plates behind the throne. "I got it!" Hunson takes the juice and showed it to the princess, who was tired of waiting. The demon pour the juice to the chains and chanted some demon spell. The red chains shattered after that chant finished. The closet opens and the passage to the PIT reveals itself.

Hunson takes Flame Princess's hand and leads her right to the nine prisoners.

A few moments later, Princess Bubblegum landed on a sweet warm grass, face first. Then Finn, Marceline and Jake appeared behind her and then looked at the princess who tries to get back up casually. She flicks the dirt from her dress and then her glare went to Marceline. The vampire shrugged, admitting what she did but she has reasons why she done it.

Jake extends his legs to give him a good look at the place. He turns around to see his surroundings. There he saw their tree house standing tall but he saw no Candy Kingdom and Ice Kingdom. "PB! We have a situation here!"

"Take me up!" The princess ordered. She wanted to see for herself.

The dog drops his arm and picks her up so that she can see the top. PB saw everything. It was different. Her kingdom was gone and so are the other landmarks. "What happened? Where is my kingdom?" Jake points out, "At least, the tree house is still up."

"Let's go there."

Then Marceline felt a threat nearby. "Everybody! Duck!"

Jake turned around, "Duck? Where?" A flaming fist punches the dog, knocking him out instantly.

"Jake!" Finn pulls out his sword and attacks the flaming creature. The entity landed to the ground and turned to the incoming human. As Finn looked directly to his opponent, Princess Bubblegum fired her device to stop Finn's movements. "What? PB! What are you doing?"

"Yeah! He attacked Jake!" Marcy was wondering. "Why don't you let him fight that little boy?" She saw the creature changing into a little boy. Little shorter than Finn.

Later, the flaming creature reveals its face. The three were shocked to see its face like seeing someone with a different haircut or someone missing an eye. But this one, it was far more shocking. Jake woke up, eyelids are still heavy after that big punch. But he got the glimpse of the one who attacked him. He recognized him, "Finn?"

"Who are you?" The creature asked, showing his fire sword.

Finn stands up and his sword ready. Marcy hissed to the creature. But the peaceful and smart Princess Bubblegum wanted to communicate first to the creature. "Everyone! Stand down. There is no need of violence. We just have to talk."

"Are you out of your bubble mind, Bonnibel?" Marceline said. "He attacked us first!"

PB ignores the vampire's words but simply smiled to the little kid. "Hello there. Sorry for my friends. We have come in peace. I'm Princess Bubblegum, by the way. This is Marceline, Finn... and the one you just punched earlier is Jake."

The boy takes another look to the four and immediately recognized them. However, these four are more different from the one he knew. "You guys are from another world. How did you get here?"

Finn explained, "Oh, we were trapped in a large distorted-reality prison and this cube helped us get out."

"Wow. You have the same cube that my dad had."

Marceline feels there's something fishy with that boy. She whispered to Bonnibel, "Is it me or does that boy looked like Finn?" The princess gives her thoughts too. "And with those fire powers, I conclude that this is the child of Princess-."

"Child of princess who?" Jake barge in, curious about their conversation. "Are you telling me this is Finn's little boy?"

Wanting for answers, Princess Bubblegum went up to the boy. "Alright. I need you to answer my questions quickly. Who are you? Where is the Candy Kingdom? Are you related to Flame Princess?" Hearing those questions from the princess, Finn has a strange feeling about it even the cube's energy flowing on his palm.

The kid thinks about those questions and then quickly answers them all. "I can't tell you my name. The Candy Kingdom has been underground since the Great War. And..."

The four waited for the boy's answer to the last question. Even Finn was nervous.

"Yeah. She's my mother." The little boy answered and that answer made the four drop their jaws. They all react, "Uhhh..."

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is the Land of Uuu." The kid smiled.
