A huge furry bat pushes Gumball and Monochromicorn away from the fireball which then passed the top of the castle by a meter. Marshall Lee spun his umbrella handle around after changing back, flipping what was left of his hair from before. "What's going on flame boy?" he said casually. "What happened? Did Fionna break off with you? Don't be a pussy and take it out on us!"
Every word just confused and aggravated Flame Prince (I'm gonna continue calling him Prince, but his minions and servants will call him "King"). "Why do you talk like you know me?!" he begins forming another.
"What? Did you hit your head or something?"
"MARSHALL SHUT UP!" yells Gumball as he summarizes the best he can, "The Lich! She wiped out his memory! She and him combined forces to take over everything! He's just a mere puppet to her!"
"Puppet?!" the fireball in his hand grew from a foot in diameter to five feet. He pulls his arm back to throw it, but someone yelled…
"FLAME PRINCE!" the fireball dispenses and he flicks his head with gritted teeth to see who called him his old name. The army turns to see who dared to call him and standing on the top of the hill is Fionna riding on Cake's back.
"FIONNA!" yelled both Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball in relief. As Flame Prince and his army focused on her, the two boys and Lord Monochromicorn flying over to the girls.
Cake and Monochromicorn held each other as the other three huddled and whispered in low voices.
Flame Prince still stood in the front of the castle and watched his enemies consult to each other just a mile away. He can easily kill them right now.
"What are you doing?! Kill them!" hisses the Lich in his head. "NOW, DO IT!"
He feels his arm trembling and aching to form a fireball, but he stops it with a closed fist. "That would be too easy…" He pushes his soldiers aside to create a path towards the plotters, "Funny, how you are the impatient one now."
When he stood a few feet away from the huddle he hears Fi exclaim in a harsh voice, "WHAT?!" and then more whispers. He stood a foot away from her, he can smell her. A soft, comforting, familiar smell made him drift away in confusing thoughts.
Why is this smell familiar?
Unconsciously, he stretches his hand to touch her shoulder, and when he almost did Fionna rotated without knowledge he stood behind. He sees that her hands are wrapped in aluminum. "EEP! Uhm..uh…" her face is flushed.
What a familiar sight.
Marshall nudges her. HARD.
"Ow…" she punches him back before continuing, "I-I-I…CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!" The army gasps behind him. Right when she said that Gumball flew off on Lord Monochromicorn's back with Marshall following.
"HEY!" he noticed the two boys flying off first and points his finger like a gun to aim.
"NO!" he took his eyes off her giving her the opportunity to push him down. "DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?!" she knelt at his side, held both his arms down and faced him. "I said, 'I challenge you to a duel!'" she can no longer hear Gumball's murmuring in the air. "Unless…" she never dared say this to him, "You're scared."
The word triggered both anger and embarrassment causing his face to blush immensely. It didn't help that his army let out an, "OOOOOH!" He shot a death glare at all of them before facing Fi again. He is waiting for the Lich to tell him what to do. She is silent. Is she even there?
He can't tell.
It's his body after all.
His thoughts.
His decisions.
I'm not a puppet.
To prove it he grins at Fionna, stared straight into her eyes and said smoothly and confidently, "I accept your challenge." He transforms into flames that sink into the grass, and then zoom to her back. "Let's begin."
"WAIT!" Fi yells, "I challenged you, so I get to choose where we battle! This is between us only," she held her sword facing him. "So…" she points it to his army, "They can't be there…"
"Ch," he smirks, "This would only take a second anyways." He flicks his head and summons, "ADEN! You're in charge!"
...
"What is this place? It's all filled with rocks," says Flame Prince tempted to knock over the rock at the edge of the cliff line.
"Pft, it's called Red Rock Pass for a reason." (note this is a location in Adventure Time) Fi turns to take in the view of Ooo (or Aaa...whichever you prefer). She can see the Candy Kingdom and Flame Prince's massive army. She squints to see the Ice Queen's territory and sees a black shape flying towards it. The plan is nearly done.
"Shall we start?" she turns back around and sees him smirking, already approaching her with one fireball prepped in his hand.
His smirk.
Still makes her heart flutter.
He's still there.
Thinking this made Fi's hand shake causing her sword to wobble.
He smirks wider, "Like I said, 'a second.'"
This comment made her eyebrows furrow and the butterflies in her stomach disappear as firmness in her grasp returned. "STRIP!"
Flame Prince stared at her flabbergasted with pink cheeks, "W-Wha?!"
Fi let her sword flop to the side with her left arm and used her right hand to slap her face. "I-I meant your armor! Yeah! ARMOR!"
"Why?"
"Because it's not fair 'cause I'm not wearing armor!" she stares off elsewhere to calm herself down.
"Oh..." without hesitance he strips off his black armor revealing his chest.
Fionna's eyes grew big, her mouth watered and she muttered words that could not be made out. It also sounded like she was muttering some kind of spell. "FA-CHE-HOT-HOT! NO! PUT IT BACK ON!"
"QUIT STALLING ALREADY!"
"YOUR THE ONE STALLING BY NOT PUTTING YOUR ARMOR BACK ON!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
"BUT I WANTED YOU TO BE WEARING A SHIRT!"
"IT'S HOT UNDER THE ARMOR!"
"WHA-THE-BLEH!" Fionna buries her face in her hands, "I'm gonna die..."
