A/N: I don't own AT Or IZ!
Brenda's P.O.V.
"Alexis!" Brady and I called, running inside her castle, "Alexis!"
"WHAT?!" Alexis snarled.
"I-I, um," I said, trying to get my words out, "I c-can't find A-Alex anywhere."
"SO?!" Alexis exclaimed angrily.
"Shouldn't we worry?" I asked.
Alexis growled and said, "Fine. Send a search party to look for him."
"O-okay," I said. I ran out of the castle and out of the kingdom. I ran back to the tree house and exclaimed, "Alex! You were right! That isn't Alexis!"
"Ha!" Alex exclaimed, "I knew it!"
Finn and Fionna got to their feet, picked up their demon blood swords, and said in unison, "I say we kill her!"
"No!" Alex said. Finn and Fionna looked at him.
"What are you talking about?" Dib asked walking in the tree fort.
"Alexis has been taken over by...er...what has she been taken over by?" Alex questioned.
Brady, Finn, Fionna, and I looked at each other, and we all knew what everyone else was thinking, The Lich.
Alexis's P.O.V.
I flew over to Shadow's cave, where I knew she usually stayed. I ran to the front of the cave and shouted, "Shadow!"
Her tentacles came out of the cave and tried to grab me, but they just passed through my form. They tried again and again, but the tentacles just kept going through my blue soul. I rolled my eyes and walked into the cave. "Shadow, stop it," I said.
Her tentacles went back into her back and she tried to tackle me. She jumped at me, but passed through me. "You traitor!" She yelled.
"What?" I asked as she passed through me, "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about!" She yelled.
"No," I said, "I don't."
She looked up from her fury rage and said, "You...don't?"
"No! Not a clue Shadow!" I exclaimed, getting ticked off.
"Oh," She said, calming down completely, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine Shadow," I said, smiling, "Now just tell me why you're ticked."
"I saw you, or your body," Shadow said, "Beating up Alex."
"Beating up Alex? I would NEVER do that! Never!" I exclaimed.
"Then tell me what happened," Shadow told me.
I nodded and started to talk, "Alex and I were sitting outside my castle when there was a crash of thunder. All the other irkens scattered into their homes. When the lightning flashed, there was this undead creature in front of us. He told me I was going to feel great pain, which I did, and Alex and I ran for our lives. We got just outside the tree fort when The Lich, the creature, caught up to us. He took my soul out of my body and put it in a jar. He went inside my body, and knocked my brother out. Are you following me?"
She stood there with a blank expression. "Yeah," She said.
"Good. Anyway, The Lich cursed the jar so nothing could get in or out. He gave the jar with me in it to Peppermint Butler, who's actually quite evil, and told him to get rid of my soul. He didn't want me taking control of my body again. When Peppermint Butler threw me in the hole he dug, he made the jar crack, breaking the spell, and I was able to escape. Now I'm here telling you the story of what happened! Okay?!" I exclaimed.
"Yes," Shadow told me.
"Do you believe me?" I asked.
"Yes," Shadow said.
"Want to help me look for Alex?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Shadow exclaimed.
We ran out of the cave and to the irken kingdom.
When we got there, we saw all the irkens were being worked half to death. "Alexis! Can we rest now?" One irken asked.
The Lich (still in my body) said, "No! Get back to work maggot!"
The irkens groaned and they kept working their antenna off. Oh no.
The Lich cracked a whip and they worked much faster. "I don't like this," Shadow whispered to me.
"You don't like it?! Those are my irkens! They're being worked to death! They're going to die if they don't take a break!" I exclaimed quietly.
"YOU!" The Lich yelled angrily, giving away his voice.
"Me?" All the irkens asked, all looking up.
"GET BACK TO WORK!" The Lich yelled, cracking his whip, "You." He pointed at one irken.
"Me?" She asked timidly.
"Yes you!" The Lich yelled.
The irken smeet, known as Lilia, put down her hammer and walked over to The Lich. "Y-yes?" She asked fearfully.
"You aren't working hard enough," The Lich told Lilia.
"I-I'm sorry. I-I'm just a smeet!" Lilia said.
"Shut up you sorry excuse for a life form!" The Lich told her, frowning.
Lilia started to cry, and all the irkens backed away slowly. I, the real me, had never yelled at them like that. Heck, I never yelled at them at all. The longest I ever got mad at an irken was half an hour, and I didn't even yell at him. I just got up, went to my room, and thought about my life and my place in the universe.
I got to my feet and shouted, "HEY LICH!"
"You! You got out?! Peppermint Butler, you are SO dead!" The Lich exclaimed.
In front of Lilia and said, "Back off my Irkens!"
"I'm Alexis!" The Lich said, instantly becoming sweeter as he imitated my voice, "Don't try to fool my little irkens!"
"Me fool them?" I asked, "You're dead wrong if you think you're Alexis." I turned and said to the irkens, "How has this Alexis been treating you irkens?"
They all remained silent, scared to speak up.
"Ha!" The Lich said laughing, "See! I'm the real-,"
"Harsh," One irken spoke up, cutting The Lich off.
"Silence!" The Lich shouted.
"Cruel," Another said.
"Shut up!" The Lich exclaimed.
"Evil!" Another said.
"Right!" I exclaimed, "And how does the real Alexis treat you?"
"Be quiet or else!" The Lich told the irkens.
"With kindness," One irken said.
"Be quiet NOW!" The Lich shouted.
"And she cares for us!" Another irken said.
"Shut it irken!" The Lich told them.
"The real Alexis loves and treats us right. She also remembers all of our names. If you're the real Alexis, what's my name?" Lilia said.
"Uhh," The Lich said. Lilia had him caught.
"Okay," Lilia said. She pointed to me. "You. If you're the real Alexis, what's my name?" Lilia asked.
"Lilia," I said.
"It is you!" She said.
I walked towards the Lich and said, "It's over Lich. Give me back my body!"
The Lich smirked and said, "Over your dead body." He fell forwards and started to fall off the castle. The Lich climbed out of my body and flew off somewhere else.
"No! Shadow, get my body before it hits the ground!" I exclaimed.
Shadow's tentacles shot out of her back and wrapped around my body. She lowered my body to the ground, she unwrapped her tentacles from my body, and it fell backwards, hitting the ground under it. I flew over to my body and jumped in it.
My eyes opened, and I got to my feet. "Alright," I said opening my arms, "Hug time!" All the irkens ran over to me and hugged me. "And don't forget Shadow! She helped you too," I said. The irkens then hugged Shadow.
Getting my body back was a great victory for me, but when I found out what the Lich did to Alex, I was furious.
