Bubblegum

Bonnie's heart pounded as her eyes darted back and forth, from villain to the villain.

Ricardio, standing in front of the group, smiled smugly.

Skeletons from the land of the dead were equipped with weapons of all sorts, Death seemingly the leader of them all. Magic Man had a creepy smile on his face while he tossed a ball of some sort of white light up and down. Flame King held his ground as his fire radiated around him.

The groups' blood ran cold, and their faces turned pale. Finn extracted his sword from his bag slowly.

Ricardio walked closer to the group, his single eye piercing into each of them.

"I hear you've killed my main man, my pet," he said to Bubblegum. "What a wrong choice that was."

Bubblegum looked to the ground and remained silent.

"You thought you'd beat me? Did you think I was only working with the Lich?" he cackled over dramatically.

"I even had a little inside help!" he shouted as he took a step to the left to reveal…. Peppermint Butler.

Bubblegums eyes grew large and tears filled them.

"This is treason! That can't be … No… Peppermint Butler…" she said getting quieter with each word.

"Oh yes Princess, you better believe it too. I'm sick of being your servant, soon you'll be my servant," he crowed.

Bubblegum looked helplessly at all of the villains, and Marceline came up to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Bonnie, we'll get them," her eyes gleamed red, and she morphed into a giant bat demon like creature.

"So, who will I be killing first?" she asked angrily.

Jake shape-shifted into a creature similar to Marceline, but a bit larger. Finn had his sword out and ready to fight. Bonnibel stood there, without a weapon, until Finn threw her a nunchuck.

Four against about 20 villains.

"We're fighting already? I wanted a bit more… suspense," said Ricardio sarcastically.

With this, Bubblegum swung her nunchuck and whacked him on the head knocking him down.

Following her lead, the rest followed. Fire was thrown across the room, and weapons clanked against each other.

Finn was sweating as he covered Bubblegums back.

"There's too many," he huffed, swiping a skeleton's head off.

Bubblegum was growing weary already as well, she looked over at Marceline worriedly, who dodged a spell from Magic Man.

At this moment, Lady Rainicorn entered the room followed by several other rainicorns and Flame Princess, Lemongrab, Cinnamon Bun, and Neptr. They immediately went into battle, fighting against evils.

Ricardio went from clearly alarmed, back to his evil self.

"You think a couple more people on your side will make anything different!?" he yelled at the group.

"I don't need any of you to keep! I'll just kill you all! Hang your bodies in the trees and rip you all apart, limb from limb!" he screamed, veins popping out in everyway possible.

After he said this, realizing Ricardio was not being covered by anyone; Finn jumped up and stabbed Ricardio through the back, the sword came right between his large eyes. Not the most pleasant sight. Ricardio staggered and then fell as Finn ripped his sword from the desperado.

The fighting continued until Peppermint Butler yelled out in alarm as he stepped on Ricardio's arm.

Everyone looked down at Ricardio, surprised their leader had fallen.

Death was the first to speak. "Does this mean we're not getting paid anymore?" he asked. Shrugging, with a snap of his fingers he disappeared along with his crew of the undead.

Flame King gave a curt nod to Flame Princess who quickly averted her eyes, and he left as well.

The villains left and the group stood in awe.

"So that means we won right?" asked Jake as he morphed back to his normal self.

"Yeah, I guess. That's weird though. How Ricardio was going to pay them for fighting us," thought Marceline aloud, she too had turned back to her humanoid form. "Stupid jerk couldn't get his own army without a bribe."

Bubblegum stretched her arm out, and wiped some of the grime from her face. Marceline wiped off her lips and gave her a long passionate kiss. Ignoring the 'awws' and 'ooos' from their friends.

"Let's get the candy people out and then we can talk all about it," she said smiling.

Flame Princess tried helping Finn up, accidentally scorching him while doing so, but he smiled anyways.

"Yoooooooooooou," yelled Lemongrab pointing to Bubblegum. "Take better care of your kingdom. You need better defense," he muttered.

Bubblegum nodded awkwardly as she helped some of the candy people out of their jail cells.

Everyone was beat, dirty, and tired out from the fight, but no casualties done on their side.

They were wrong, I could save my people. Not just me, we all did, Bubblegum thought as she picked up some of the marshmallow kids, her eyes tearing up for what seemed like the hundredth time today. But this time, it was for the right reason.
