Bubblegum

Standing in the back of the Ice King's castle, the four could see hundreds of small ice forts in the horizon. Tens of thousands of forts, enough to hold captive the people of the Candy Kingdom.

"I can fly Bubblegum and I over, but I don't know about you two," Marceline said to Finn and Jake.

"Jake can you make some sort of flying thing with your body to get yourselves over there?" she asked.

"Of course I can! So what's the plan we get over there and kick some butt?" said Jake.

"No butt kicking yet, first we find out what's going on," replied Bonnibel.

"Well then let's go!" shouted Finn. He grabbed onto Jake's back, who then shot himself off the cliff, and shape-shifted into a parasail sort of thing.

Shrugging, Bubblegum grabbed onto Marceline's back and they followed the two.

As the gang hopped down to the ground of the barren ice-land, they nervously looked all around.

Bubblegum, especially, was in search of her people.

"I suppose we can split up, but if anything happens shoot this," said Bonnibel.

She rummaged through her bag and handed Finn and Jake 3 flares.

"You shoot them and a light will explode from the top, seeing as its really cloudy today, we might not see them, but we should be able to hear them," she told the two.

"Okay, thanks. We'll get looking now," said Finn.

As the two disappeared in the fog, Marceline turned to Bubblegum.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

"Yeah, I think I am.." she replied, trailing off.

The girls slowly walked around the forts, their feet crunching in the snow. Coming across one fort they looked in, only to find an empty room with stray bits of food and trash in the room. Marceline left the room first, but Bubblegum noticed something. Pushing aside the fluffy snow there was a trap door.

"Marcie! Marcie come here," Bonnie cried.

After no one responding, Bonnibel figured she must have gone to another fort.

She exited the fort to see Marceline struggling under the hands of the Lich. He had a sharp wooden stake near her chest.

"Marcie! Don't move," Bubblegum cried.

"I don't think I could be able to do that anyways Bon," she replied nervously.

"So I see you've found out where we've been keeping your people," rumbled the Lich.

"I am not letting you take her," said Bubblegum, she was slowly inching towards the Lich.

Today is the day to be brave, she thought. I am not the damsel in distress today. Today I will be the fighter.

"Why would you think I would take her? I'm more interested in killing her," he responded with a malicious smile as he pushed the stake closer to her chest.

"That's the thing, I don't," and with this Bubblegum kicked the stake from the Lich's hand and punched him hard in the stomach where Ricardio had stabbed him before.

Screaming in pain, he rolled over into the snow.

"Quick, go find the others and the candy people," Bubblegum ordered.

"No Bonnie, you can't do this alone," Marceline begged.

"Trust me, I can do this. Please, go find them," she urged.

Marceline looked down at the Lich and gave him a huge kick in the side before leaving.

"I'm going to kill you," he grunted getting up make a grab for the stake on the ground.

Bubblegum ran towards it and picked it up before him.

"I wouldn't try that if I were you," she said smugly.

The Lich stood up and made a punch at her. Bubblegum dodged it just in time and stabbed him in the back. The Lich screamed, but he kept on trying to fight. He grabbed her arm and twisted it back, luckily, being made of almost all bubblegum, this didn't hurt too much. She wrestled herself out of his grip and tried to stab him again, he wacked the stake out of her hand and it fell to the ground.

"You really think you can defeat me?!" he shrieked, clearly annoyed at what a fight Bubblegum was putting up.

"Just about," she replied, and with this she kicked the back of his leg and he fell back. He fell back right onto the stake, piercing him through the heart.

Her breath was ragged, but it was done. She never thought she'd end up killing him, but the rush of adrenaline she acquired gave her more strength than she ever knew she had.

The Lich was breathing hard, the flaps of flesh going up and down with each breath, until it finally stopped altogether.

She wiped her hands and got up, shooting her flare in the air, awaiting for everyone to return to hear just what she had done.
