I know I've been off the grid for a while but I have a good explanation, two actually. The first being an organic chemistry test. The second being … well … I've been scouting … let me be more specific. As anyone who's been keeping track of me or my beta would know, I've been looking at other shows to write fanfiction about … and my search is over. But enough about me, you all want to read this chapter (if you haven't just skipped this and began reading already) so I'll just jump into the reviews and talk more about this other show at the end.

Dreadwing216: Glad to hear it.

Phinbella56: Not much in this chapter, maybe in the next one but I forget.

Addisonr08: Cool.

MYimaginationForyou: Okay, okay, keep your pants on, I'm working as fast as I can.

(Phineas's POV)

I followed Buford, his words still ringing in my head. 'You will not get over her for a very, very long time.' These words were now all that were on my mind as we began meeting up with the others. They had taken cover behind a large boulder that was conveniently placed near the camp.

"Where have you two been?" Erick asked.

"I had to teach girly here a thing or two about fighting." Buford responded.

"Shut up Buford." I retorted. "Now are we going to take this place down or what?"

"I think 'or what' is a good assumption of what is going to happen." Baljeet said as he took a look at the fort. "This thing is watched closer than Buford's secret diary."

"Hey." Buford retorted.

"So sneaking in isn't an option now, is it?" I asked. "What about the front door?"

"We would be overrun in seconds." Erick said as he looked at the gate. "We would have to be quick about it and I mean quick. We would have a grand total of about ten seconds before more notice and before we know it, there are too many to take."

"Not like sneaking around is going to be any easier." Isabella said as she looked around at the guard towers. "If we're caught, then we're in the same situation."

It was at that moment when an idea struck me. "Guys! I think I know what to do!" Everyone looked at me, confused for a moment, then I began to explain. "Some of us will sneak around and get their attention, and then the others will assault the main gate."

"But Isabella that will just cause them to attack both groups." Baljeet responded.

"That's why we're going to have a third team, one of us will infiltrate the main structure while all the hobgoblins are distracted."

"Good plan, but what does that one person do when they get in there?" Erick asked.

"Simple, take out the chief." Everyone looked at me, surprised. "They have to have a leader so all we have to do is take him out and then the rest of the hobgoblins will fall into disarray."

"That's suicide." Buford said as he peeked around. "The chief is probably some big boss-like guy, that will take the lot of us to contend with him."

"I don't suppose you have a better idea?" I asked.

Buford was silent for a moment before responding. "Fine girly. But who's going to be the one to infiltrate the stronghold?"

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "It's going to have to be me." Everyone looked at me, shocked. "I'm the best at sneaking around, so it's going to have to be me."

"But what if something bad happens?" Baljeet asked.

"It's just a video game, not to mention that we don't have many other options."

"Let's get this started all ready." Buford exclaimed. "Who are the teams?"

"Our heavy hitters won't be able to sneak, so Phineas and Buford will assault the front. Then after the second wave of enemies comes, Erick and Baljeet will try to sneak in. Once it looks like most of them are occupied, I will make my way into the camp and assassinate the chief."

"Sounds like a good plan." Buford said as he stood up and picked up his axe.

"Just be careful all right?" Isabella said as she followed Buford.

(Buford's POV)

I had made my way to the front of the gate, and Isabella who was in Phineas's body, was close behind me. "So, are you ready to get some attention?" She asked.

"As ready as ever." I responded. I decided against confronting her about swapping bodies with Phineas, it was a can of warms that I wasn't in the mood to open.

"So how long before they notice us?" She asked.

"They noticed us a long time ago." I said as the gate began to open. "They were just waiting for us to make a move."

(Erick's POV)

Baljeet and I were making our way around the side of the fortress; ducking behind various rocks along the way. "We should get ready for our task. The hobgoblins won't wait forever."

Baljeet looked at me, skeptically. "What do you mean? The hobgoblins do not even know that we are coming."

"They're hobgoblins, not goblins." I retorted. "They're not as stupid. There's no way they thought that after two of their squads failed to return with prisoners, or at all, that we wouldn't be a problem."

"So then what was the point of the plan that Isabella made?"

"Distraction." I pointed out as I tried to listen to see if Buford and Isabella started fighting yet. Soon, the faint sounds of battle were heard. It was then that I knew it was time to make our move. "All right, time to bust the nearest wall down."

Baljeet slowly turned to look at me. "And just how do you plan on doing that?"

I smiled almost evilly. "You underestimate my power."

(Phineas's POV)

I found my way to the most guarded section of the fort and waited for the signal. "Should be any time now." I whispered quietly to myself, as I watched overhead. Within seconds, there was a huge explosion on the far side of the camp that one could hear from a mile away. I noticed some hobgoblins on the watchtowers turn around in surprise and some of them ran over. "Perfect." I said as I began counting the remaining hobgoblins. "Looks like only four left." I looked under my cloak to notice that that was the exact number of daggers I had. "I need to talk to Isabella about investing in a crossbow." I quickly pulled my eyes away before they could wander and looked back to the hobgoblins who remained at their post on top of the wall. "Well, it's now or never." I took one deep breath and threw the first two daggers, one nailed a hobgoblin in the back of the head and the other in the neck. The remaining two hobgoblins quickly looked around to see what was going on and saw me. I swiftly pulled out my remaining two daggers and threw them. One plunged right between the eyes of my foe while the other only slashed the left eye causing the creature to fall to the ground in pain. "Shoot." I said as I ran to the wall and pulled out my grappling hook. "I have to get up there and finish this before he can signal for help." I threw my grappling hook over the edge and climbed up as fast as I could. When I got to the top I noticed that the injured hobgoblin had only just got to his feet, with a hand covering his injured eye. As I ran up to him, I pulled out my short sword, and swung at him only for him to dodge and shriek out. I made another swing at him which connected and put him down for good. "Someone must have heard that." I said as I quickly retrieved my daggers. "I have to move fast."

(Buford's POV)

The first wave of intruders had been killed or ran off in fear or to investigate the explosion. For the moment, it looked like a second one wasn't on its way. "Looks like it's time to advance." I said as I began walking forward.

"But what about the plan?" Isabella asked. "Isabella said that we should stay here and wait for another wave to come, we're supposed to be a diversion."

"That was only in case hobgoblins were listening." I responded. "We have to press the attack now."

"If that's the case then what is the plan?" She asked.

"The plan is, we go in and kill the chief." I shouted as I ran through the gate.

(Erick's POV)

I had blown down the wall by attacking the explosives that they had stored on the other side. Baljeet and I then made our way in and hid near a supply crate.

"How did you know that they had a crate of explosives?" Baljeet asked.

"Every race and variant of goblin stores explosives." I responded. "The only trick is finding out where they've hidden it."

"Oh." Baljeet said as another group of panicked hobgoblins ran by. "So then what are we supposed to do now?"

"We go after the chief." I replied. Eventually, an opening was visible and I began running with Baljeet close behind.

(Phineas's POV)

I had made my way to the center of the encampment without coming across any, but I was trying desperately to catch my breath. For some reason, I still wasn't accustomed to fighting in Isabella's body, and it was starting to take its toll. I was currently outside the largest tent and I could tell that someone or something was inside. "Looks like it's now or never." I said as I took a deep breath. I pulled out my short sword and ran inside to see a very large hobgoblin, about twice my size, sitting in a chair, his back to me. His skin was dark red and there was a large axe to his right. He was sitting at a table with what appeared to be a map in front of him. "Looks like my lucky day." I whispered after finding cover. I snuck up behind him, quietly, making sure that every time I put a foot down, it wouldn't make a sound. Step by step I got nearer and nearer until finally I was practically breathing on him. I held my breath and lifted up my sword so that it was pointed at his neck and with one swift motion, plunged it into him. However, when my sword ripped through his neck, I noticed something was amiss. There was much less resistance than there should have been. I didn't feel a spine, and on top of all that, there was no blood. I walked around the creature, slowly, to notice that in place of eyes, there were buttons. "It's a trap!" I hollered as I noticed a large hobgoblin lung at me from the shadows. I managed to dodge out of the way just in time to avoid his attack but he managed to grab my cloak which caused me to lose my balance. The hobgoblin lifted up his axe and just as it was about to finish me, I cut my cloak and rolled away. I quickly got to my feet and looked at the hobgoblin with my sword outstretched. It stood there glaring at me, it was smaller than the replica but had plate armor and its axe was serrated to the point where it looked like a saw. "This guy is defiantly the leader." I said as we began circling each other.

"That's more than I can say about you." He replied.

My eyes went wide that the hobgoblin actually spoke. "I didn't know you could talk." I said as we continued circling each other.

"Hobgoblins don't often talk with humans." The creature responded. "Not to mention that you won't be living long enough to brag about it."

"Oh, I think you'll be the one who won't be living long." I said with a smile.

I began grinding my teeth as I leered at him. "Well I'm not just some ordinary girl." I retorted. At that moment, my heart rate began racing as my attention started to turn back to Isabella's body. "Damn." I whispered as I tried to focus on the hobgoblin in front of me. "Not now." My hands began to shake as I fought the urge to look down. I quickly reached back for my cloak only to realize that it had been left behind and was no longer able to cover Isabella's body. As if a result of that failure, my mind began to wonder and I began to think about Isabella and how much I loved her. "NO!" I shouted as I grabbed my head and dropped to my knees. Just as I dropped, I remembered the hobgoblin chief and looked up to see him charging me. I didn't have time to react or defend myself so I looked on as he began to swing his axe. I felt time begin to freeze and I felt my heart stop. Then, just as the axe was about to make contact with my head, the hobgoblin burst into flames and was sent flying off to the side. I quickly looked to the entrance to see that Erick and Baljeet had arrived and both of them had smoke rising from their hands.

"Well that was too close for comfort." Erick said as he took a few steps closer and knelt down to eye level. "You all right?" He asked.

I nodded and looked over to where the hobgoblin chief was and saw him charcoaled on the ground. "I guess you took care of him for me." I said as I looked back.

"What did he do to you?" Baljeet asked. "How did he get you to fall to your knees like that?"

"Not important." I said as I looked around for my cloak. When I found it, I went over and picked it up. "So did you guys take care of all the hobgoblins?"

"Most of them." Erick responded.

"Did we miss the fight?" I heard Buford ask as he and Isabella walked in. "Man, I was so hopping that we would get a chance to kick butt."

"You took care of all those hobgoblins outside." Isabella responded.

"Not all of them." Buford said as he crossed his arms. "And I wanted to deal with the chief."

"Doesn't matter." I said as I covered myself with my cloak. "With the chief taken care of, the job is complete and we can get out of here."

Alright, now I bet some of you are curious as to what I was talking about earlier. Well, I've found a show to write fanfiction for seeing as the P&F fandome is … shrinking. Point is, I've finished the first chapter and I'm waiting until I at least finish with my current two stories before posting it. As for what show it is well … take a guess.
