Andrew: I love writing fight scenes and it really get's my freak on!
Peppermint Butler's POV:
While filling the basket, I heard footsteps and looked up to see who or what was heading toward me. Much to my surprise, I was correct on who I would be seeing here. Finn and Jake were walking over. I turned to them and smiled a bit.
"Master Finn! Master Jake!" I greeted the adventurous team. They both waved.
"Hey there, Peppermint Butler!" Finn greeted back, giving me a bit of a confused look-about the same one Jake was giving.
"Uh, What are you doing, dude?" Jake questioned-a question I was much expecting.
"Princess Bubblegum needed these ashberries for some new science experiment she was performing and sent me out to get them." I explained to them, they nodded.
"Oh! Cool! Anything we could help with?" Finn asked. I shrugged. There was nothing exciting that I thought they would like helping with, honestly.
"You could help fill the basket with ashberries, if you want...?" I suggested the only thing they could really help with, really. They both agreed and immediately went to helping fill the basket-with help, it was going very quick. "Thank you!" I thanked them.
"No problem, dude!" Finn beamed back. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, which was good. The basket filled up in less than a half hour. I noticed Finn and Jake eat a few berries from the bush.
"Oh! They're actually pretty good!" Jake commented and Finn agreed. Those two were pretty interesting to me, hence the fact they never even asked if the berries were safe to eat or not. After they ate a few more, something odd happened.
At sudden, much larger and louder footsteps were heard from the distance, coming toward us. It was nearly shaking the ground. What could it have been!?
Finn, Jake and I all turned towards the sound at once, the forest was suddenly filled with a strange fog. It was really difficult to see.
"Dude! What's going on!? I can't see anything!" Finn's voice shouted amongst the fog.
"I know! I have an idea, though!" Jake yelled back and grew himself a little. "Guys, get on my back!" He ordered. Finn and I both climbed on as he grew himself past the fog.
When we could finally see clearly, we were faced with something none of us were familiar with. It was a tall, black shadow type figure with sharp nail-like teeth and red eyes and it was smiling oddly at us.
"WHAT THE FRACK IS THAT!?" Finn screamed, pointing at the weird monster like creature. I hope this wouldn't make me late to my return to the Candy Castle.
Finn's POV
Helping pick berries for Peppermint Butler turned out to be pretty good for me. It took my mind off the Lich, and that eerie feeling I was having earlier on. Not to mention, we got to help out in something that would please PB, and also the berries were very delicious!
Unfortunately, that's when everything went wrong. First I felt the ground vibrate, almost in a pattern. Then as it got closer, I realized it was footsteps. Large footsteps. I turned towards it and everything got foggy. Jake got bigger, and me and Peppermint Butler climbed on.
When we got out of the fog, we were face to face with a terrifying sight. Something very evil that somehow ended up around here.
I knew I had to act fast.
I quickly drew my sword. I got into a position to jump, and leapt onto the creature. The creature started flailing around frantically. It slammed into Jake, and sent him toppling over. Peppermint Butler exclaimed, and fell out of sight.
Hanging on was trouble, but I managed to stay on long enough. I began slashing at the creature's face, leaving nasty gash marks. The creature began to thrash about even more spastically, and I started to lose my grip. I stabbed into the creature with my sword to give me something to hold on to. That wasn't such a great idea, as the creature let out a shriek so powerful that it knocked me off of it and sent me plummeting to the ground. I would have died if Jake hadn't been there to catch me.
"Jake!" I yelled. "Are you okay?!"
Jake stood up and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?" I said the same thing. Then I asked him if he saw the monster, and he said he lost track of it.
"Uh oh.." I said apprehensively. "Have you seen Peppermint Butler?" I asked with a bit of concern.
Just at that moment, we both heard the terrified shriek of Peppermint Butler.
"Oh no!" We both screamed. We started to run in the direction of the scream as fast as we could.
