Andrew: Have fun with this one... I know I did :3


Peppermint Butler's POV

Just standing in the distance watching Finn and Jake fight the terrifying monster was starting to become stressful on me... They seemed to be unable to make any progress in defeating the monster, and worse than that.. It looked like it was tiring them out. A lot. Pretty soon, they would be unable to continue...

I began to think that obeying the orders to stay put could end badly... I started to think up a plan of action. I didn't have much strength, and therefore a physical confrontation on my part would not end well for us...

I kept thinking and thinking, worried that the idea may never come... Then it hit me. I noticed that Finn and Jake kept dodging out of the way of the creature with no time to land any critical blows. But maybe if the creature had something else to swing at...

I immediately knew what my purpose was in this battle... I realized my destiny for the day, my role in the fate of this battle, and possibly the Candy Kingdom. My job was... to distract the creature, so that Finn and Jake could use their energy to attack, rather than dodge. I acted immediately. I ran out into the battle, yelling. The creature turned to look at me.

"NOW, MASTERS FINN AND JAKE!" I exclaimed. "ATTACK IT HARD!" and jumped at the creature. I bounced off of the creature and fell to the ground.

"Peppermint Butler, no! We haven't found the creature's weak spot yet!" Jake yelled.

"WHAT?!" I yelled back.

I immediately realized what a big mistake I had made. Being a distraction was purposeless if there still was no plan of action. As soon as I recovered from my fall, I tried to stand up. I was very dizzy, but I began to run off into the woods. My disorientation got the better of me and drove me directly into the creature's gargantuous leg.

I looked up, and screamed. The creature was now looking down at me. It reached down with a large, terrifyingly clawed hand. If I wasn't stricken with vertigo, I would have run away before the creature picked me up and dragged me into the air.

I looked into the creature's face. It opened it's large, gaping mouth, and lowered me into it. I heard Finn scream "NO!" before I was dropped in and the darkness enveloped me. I remember dropping a long distance into a liquidy pit of what felt like lava. The pain of it on my skin was excruciating for a few minutes, until everything went numb and my consciousness slipped away.


The moment I woke up, I glanced around and was glad to see that I was in a place I was quite familiar with, the under world! This was great, I could just find Death and come back in an instant! I'm great friends with him!

"This is gonna be a snap!" I remarked to no in in particular, walking toward Death's castle. I wonder if he'd with his instruments or not.

I saw some Skeletal Guards and smiled, deciding to take a small detour. I knew them.

"Hello, friends!" My voice rang to them. They looked up at me and one of the male ones smirked.

"Peppermint!" He smiled. "Visiting again? It's been a while!" They remarked. Well, it was definitely a while, I'm always so busy in the Candy Castle and all with helping out Princess Bubblegum, not that I mind!

"Hello! And no, actually, I'm not vising. I did actually die!" I laughed a little. Most wouldn't be laughing, but I knew it wouldn't be long.

"How'd it happen?" One of the females of the group spoke up, curiously. I directed my attention towards her.

"Egh, got eaten by some weird monster." I responded, casually and looked around, realizing I was wasting time. What if it had gotten to Princess Bubblegum already? Oh, jeez. "I think I really should get going but I'll visit again sometime! Good bye!" With that, I walked off, letting them get back to their normal business.

I saw the castle come up and was let right in because the guard knew me. I looked around it at all the dead servants and walked up to a skeleton dusting a table.

"Excuse me, Sir?" I cleared my throat. The skeleton didn't even respond to me. "Do you know if Death is around!?" I asked, hoping he'd answer this time.

"In near the instrument wall" He didn't look up at me, but at least it was an answer, right? Better then nothing.

"Thank you, Sir!" I headed right the outside of the castle and came across the River of Forgetfulness. "Too easy." I muttered to myself, climbing across the random floating objects with barely a struggle and walking up to the stage with many different hung up instruments. I didn't see Death anywhere. "Death!?" I called out. He stepped out from behind the stage.

"Peppermint Butler! It's been way too long!" He casually remarked and motioned for me to come on stage. I did.

"Definitely has been, Death! I can agree with you there!" I laughed a bit, but then got a little more serious. "I need to go back to the world of the living! I was eaten by some weird monster..." Death shook his head, which kind of worried me.

"No can do, Peppermint!" He shrugged. I was surprised by the answer.

"What do you mean by that...?" I asked, rather confused and a little irritated sounding.

"Powers off. Something weird is going on with the underworld right now. Sorry, Peppermint." He apologized as if it was nothing. I NEEDED to get back to the Candy Kingdom, though. They're probably all so worried.

"Is there a way to get it back!? I need to get back!" I nearly yelled. Death glared a bit.

"Don't get snippy." He warned, yawning. Really, Death!? Really!?

"Death, This is IMPORTANT!" I screamed. Jeez, I was really ticked. I had all the right to be though, in my eyes.

"You know, You're ticking me off, Peppermint. I'm not even gonna bother bringing you back, now. Get lost!" He threatened. I growled a bit to myself and walked off to leave the general area. Man, what was wrong with Death today!? He's never been like that before!

What am I even gonna do now? Guess I'm remaining dead...
