Fionna face twists into fear as she stares at the demon that is Finn. He instantly raises his empty hands, "Easy! I just want to talk-" Gumball spins around and grabs a vial filled with green liquid before lobbing it at Finn. The hero panics and throws himself to the floor, letting it smash into the door. It sizzles as the metal melts, much to Finn's horror as he hurriedly crawls behind a cupboard. The flurry of movement snaps Fionna back to her senses, and aims Milly's gauntlet at Finn's cover, "Guys! I don't want to fight you!" He is ignored as a white laser disintegrates some of the cupboard next to him. He quickly scrambles away, thinking of a plan. Fionna keeps her gaze locked onto Finn's location as Gumball quickly whips out his phone,
"Cake! Are you at the Bubblegum guardians!?"
"W-what? Yes… why? What's going on?"
"Finn is attacking!"
"What! I'm on my way!"
"No! This is a bad spot for close combat with him! If he is here, he is not at Ice Queen's mountain! Go! Me and Fionna have got Finn under control don't worry!"
"... Ah fine! Don't get Fionna killed or I'm coming for you Gumball!" He ignores the threat and quickly puts the phone away. He analysis the room 'This is bad, a lot of cover for Finn to get close, yet still room for him to swing'
"Fionna, we need to leave the lab!" She doesn't reply, as she stays silently locked on. Sudden movement leaps from the side of the cupboards. She blasts it with a petrified expression. Her aim was true and obliterates it. A machine hits the floor with a massive whole in it. Finn meanwhile sprints out from the other side, darting straight towards the duo. Gumball scrambles for a weapon as Fionna aims her hand and lets loose. Finn ducks, evading the attack before descending upon Fionna. He grabs her hand and pushes it up, causing her next attack to hit the ceiling before bear hugging her. Finn holds her tight, about to calm her down when he hears something powering up.
He dives to the floor again as a orange laser skims by his head, Fionna in hand. Fionna rips herself from Finn's arms and quickly scramble away on her back in fear. Finn looks up to see Gumball holding his pistols from their first fight, that were currently aimed directly at him. He rolls as the laser strikes behind him before jumping to his feet, hands wrapping around his sword handle. He yanks his blade free then swings it down at Gumball's hand. His sword slashes the pistol in half, making the prince stumble back as it explodes in a shower of sparks. Finn spins around, finding a gauntlet flying towards him. He doesn't have time to react at it hits him in the head, sending him sprawling backwards onto a table and dropping his sword to the floor. After a stunned moment he locks his gaze back onto Fionna, to find the gauntlet locked onto him. He springs his legs up, booting her aim off him as the gauntlet blasts a hole in the ceiling.
Gumball suddenly leaps on top of him, scalpel in hand. Finn grabs his wrists as the sharp blade comes close to his throat, body weight and gravity assisting the royal. After a moment of struggling, Finn harshly pushes up, throwing the royal off him before he rolls backwards, desperate to get off the table. He spins to find Gumball picking himself up and grabbing his sword off the floor as Fionna levels her arm at him again. Finn rushes forward, grabbing the table before flipping it at them. It smashes into them, but both remain standing. Until Finn tackles Fionna. He slams her into the wall so hard that it stuns her, Finn exploiting this as he grabs the gauntlet and starts pulling it off. He hears a cry, turning to find Gumball charging at him sword first from the side. Finn leans back, letting the blade slip by his chest as he swings his robot arm up. He strikes Gumball's hand, pain forcing him to let go off the blade.
Finn quickly grabs Gumball's chest, and yanks him down to his face, "I don't want to fight you!" Gumball head-butts him, knocking him off Fionna though bringing the prince down with him. Fionna brings her arm down, aiming it at Finn's head, "Take this!" The laser shoots out, but her arm randomly jerks away, just missing Finn's still head "What the?-" Finn shoves Gumball off him and grabs her legs, before suddenly standing and yanking her across the floor. She screams as she now lays stretched, Finn suddenly looming over her as he presses his foot on the gauntlet, "Fionna, let me explain." She screams in fear, bringing her other hand up and hopelessly starts wailing on his leg. Gumball was now scrambling up, picking up Finn's sword again and causing the hero to grimace, "Gumball, stop for one second!" The royal screams as he slashes at Finn, causing him to leap backwards to evade.
Still Gumball pushes forward, savagely swinging his sword. Finn rapidly approaches a wall, causing the human to smile. He pushes his back against the wall, Gumball smirking as he brings the blade high above his head before slamming it down. Finn spins, letting the blade slam into the wall where he just was. And get stuck. His spin makes him face the royal, and he lunges onto him, one hand on his stuck sword, the other on the royal's shoulder. With a harsh push he separates them, sending Gumball stumbling back. Finn promptly yanks his blade free as the Prince is caught by Fionna. They stare each other down, "Lets stop the fighting, and let me explain!" Fionna growls, swinging her arm up,
"NEVER!" Finn dodges the laser, disappearing behind the cupboards. 'I know you said to come back at the first sign of trouble of Huntress, but I won't leave you in danger!' So scenarios start to fill his head...
Ice Queen stands shocked, looking at out of her mansion. When she had heard heavy thumps from inside her home, she wasn't expecting this. The mountain wall had a massive crack spreading out, deep thumps echoing as something big constantly wailed on her home. It was at times like this she was grateful for not having any people to look after, for she was not certain if she herself was even going to walk out of this. "They've ignored the path those cheaters!" She looks back at the mansion just in time to see Huntress hurry out, staring wide eyed at the crack as well. "You need to go back inside! You're magically drained!" She yells at her friend, who looks back at her with a strong gaze,
"I'm more than magic, I'm hard because I've prepared for every situation I could be in. Magic-less was a very realistic one." She reveals a ice spear that she had stolen from some penguin. Ice Queen looks down at it, the world shaking as another thump drums out,
"... Fine, but I'm making you a better one!"
She grabs the spear in her hand, and holds it up slightly as its form becomes more refined and it's point becoming longer. After a few more seconds of ice reinforcement, she lowers it with a grin, presenting it to Huntress who hurriedly snatches it, "Thanks." She flips it around, spinning it in her hand as she gets used to its new weight. Suddenly a crack thunders out from wall, both girls spinning their heads to gaze at in slight horror. A massive hole was now present, and through it they could see a giant Cake, and both Bubblegum guardians. Ice Queen's jaw dropped, "Oh this is bad…" She shakes her head, before flying into the air. And charging straight at the hole. The Bubblegum guardians peer inside as they search for threats to be eliminated, and their senses light up as Ice Queen appears right before them. She summons a massive ice spike the size of their heads and charges at them 'Finn won't hate me if they're not alive'
The massive robots jump back as she just barely misses, clipping their shoulders, "THREAT DETECTED." Their feminine voice echoes out as their eyes glow and a moment later massive lasers spew out. Ice Queen dive bombs as the lasers track her, rapidly gaining ground on her. She suddenly darts left just as the lasers nearly kill her, leaving them to sweep into the ground and cause a massive chain of explosions 'It is actually easier to dodge than I thought…'.
Cake meanwhile shrinks, climbing inside the hole they made in search for a certain someone. She locks onto the mansion, and stretches her legs as long as she can before dropping down. A short fall later, her feet touch the ground, and she starts her stilt walk towards Ice Queen's home. Huntress wastes no time, spinning around and booking it deeper into the mansion 'I'll honor your request as best as I can Finn, but no promises' turning a corner, she dashes towards the winter gardens 'Time for some hide and seek'
Cake smashes the throne doors open and scans the room, "Where are you!? I need to defeat you, then save Fionna!" She immediately starts slinking around, looking around every object for Huntress as her arms stretch out like tentacles. After searching/feeling through every room in the mansion, she eventually barges through one more and stumbles into the gardens. She looks at it wide eyed, "Oh she is definitely here." She immediately surges forward, shrinking down to normal size as she constantly spins, searching in all directions for her prey. She passed under a tree, unaware of green eyes locked onto her form 'she said earlier that she needed to save Fionna… So is Finn there and talking?... Or is he fighting them right now?! I told you to get back if there was trouble Finn!' She moans in her head as she watches her prey start to panic. "I-I have great ears! I can hear you approach! So just show yourself!" Silence was the cats army, the only noise being the thumps from the fight outside.
She shivers, at pushes deeper into the forest, leaving Huntress behind as she disappears into the winter wonderland. Huntress drops from her hiding spot, landing silently despite the snow. She looks up for signs of Cake, before turning and walking back into mansion 'Hopefully she will search elsewhere' however, just as she was about to pass the doors, movement catches her eyes. She spins and stares, discovering six men lowering themselves inside the ice kingdom through the hole 'Who are they?' she stands and debates, before sprinting at the garden wall, bent on discovering who her new invaders were. Her hands hit the wall as she runs up a little before her hands reach over the edge, then flips herself over. Cake was still doing paranoid spins, constantly looking around. Of course, that has led to her getting confused, and was now hyperventilating as she stumbles around lost deep in enemy territory.
And that is when she spots sudden movement. It was Huntress, and she has just vaulted over the garden wall. Cake sighs in relief before making her way over with a grin, most of her fear leaving her with her foes location acquired. She quickly stretches over the wall, silently prowling behind Huntress as she makes her way over the stalagmites that make up the floor of the mountain 'I have got you now Huntress!' They both rapidly approach the unknown invaders, until minutes later they were upon them. They were six men in a variety of colours, all in poor clothing and carrying rubbish tools. Huntress squints in confusion as Cake sneaks up behind her, listening in on their confusion, "This place is humongous! I didn't realise she had this much talent!"
"Save your breath, you'll be panting by the time we get to that mansion."
"Why is it so far?" A man says, sounding out of breath.
"We owe Finn, we're not giving up now! We can't do squat against the Bubblegum guardians, so we'll have to settle for defending his house against invaders." Huntress stares wide eyed, before moving in spear in hand.
"I'm not questioning why we're doing this, just why it is so far." The man says continuing to pant.
Suddenly Huntress jumps before them and shoves the spike of her spear against the lead man's throat, causing everyone to freeze up in shock and raise their hands in surrender. "Who Are you?" Huntress demands. He says nothing, but she can see his eyes scanning her before getting a nervous smile.
"You match the description of those knights-" Huntress shoves her spear forward. Luckily for the man his friend behind him yanks him back just in time, letting the guy fall backwards as the spear passes by harmlessly, "HEY WAIT!" He shouts as everyone backpedals away as Huntress glares,
"Finn sent us! We owe him!"
"And why do you owe him?" She demands, but the guy ignores her as he grabs his sword and lobs it behind her,
"Behind you!" She ignores the trick. Until she hears a scramble behind her. Snapping around she sees Cake dashing behind a spike. She grits her teeth and looks back at the men,
"We'll explain later why Finn owes us, but first lets get rid of these guys." Huntress nods, before sprinting back at the mansion, the men shortly behind her. Huntress keeps darting her eyes around, trying to locate Cake in the maze of ice. Worryingly, all signs of the shape shifter has disappeared. She eventually makes it to the mansion, the mem panting behind her, "We... Got… you… a bow!" One of says between deep breaths, presenting Huntress with a poorly made bow. She grabs it and gives the string a few tugs '... Don't blame the tool, blame the one wielding it' she looks at them as they recover,
"How did you know I needed one?" She asks, keeping an eye out for Cake,
"We had heard from the knights that you use arrows, so we thought to bring a backup bow encase you lost yours-..." Huntress loses focus on them as she spots a flash of white between the stalagmites. 'What is she planning?-'
Cake rapidly grows, smashing ice as she raises her foot high. Huntress and the men immediately scram as the foot comes crashing down upon them, cracking the floor. Cake grimaces as she misses, but leans down swipe Huntress in front of her. Massive claws shoot out to rake Huntress, but she backflips as they sweep under the. Landing on her feet, she pulls an arrow from her quiver and aims at Cake 'I Can't hurt her!' She jerks her arm away, letting the arrow fly pass Cake. The feline brings her arm back and backhand slaps Huntress, sending her smashing into the mansion walls. She quickly recovers however and leaps onto Cake's arm then face, before jumping off just as feline smacks her own head. Skidding on the floor, she smirks as the cat stumbles back 'I've got this, just need to play with her until Finn either returns or Gumball calls a ceasefire' War cries fill her ears as she spins, watching as the men charge towards Cake weapons drawn. "DON'T!" Cake stomps, sending out a shockwave that sends them all flying.
Sprawling to a halt next to her, the men look at her in a dazed gaze 'Finn wouldn't want anyone dead, but how do I stop this lot from killing each other!?' She looks behind her at the mansion door, "Quickly! Indoors!" They all scramble to their feet as they rush indoors, Cake bringing her fist down to squish them. Huntress reaches out and grabs the final guy and yanks him in as the fist smashes the ground.
"Shit, we left our weapons out there…" The lead man says, causing everyone to look worriedly at Huntress, "Looks like you are the only one who can hurt her." Meanwhile Cake stands tall, both fists held high before she smashes them down upon the mansion roof. She immediately regrets her actions, wincing as the building stands strong. Huntress meanwhile plans, 'So she can't damage the building? So we need to keep her indoors' She sprints further inside, the men following her a second closer.
"So what's the plan? How are ya goin' to beat 'er?" A man asks, causing Huntress to shake her head,
"We won't hurt her."
"What!"
"Finn's orders."
"Why?"
"... Because she is his friend, but has currently been tricked or is wrong about something. He is currently trying to clear it up, as he doesn't want his friends to die."
"Shit, damn those knights!… what's the plan then if we aren't fighting?"
"She is going to stretch after us. We can either over stretch her to exhaust her, then lock her in a room, or just run around until we get the same result."
"And if she doesn't get tired?"
"She will, I have more stamina than her." 'If she is lazy like Jake, then I will' The man grumbles but the sound of doors being slammed open behind him shuts him up,
"You heard the plan boys, tire her out!" They splinter apart, everyone shooting off in different directions. Cake slides to halt as her ears hears them all running randomly.
Huntress meanwhile storms more ideas, before smirking and saying deliberately aloud, "Be quick Finn!" Cake who was in the corridor was listening carefully, and catches Huntress's voice, and dashes off after it. Forgetting the others, she sprints for revenge 'Big mistake Huntress!' She barges through a corridor doors, and locks eyes on Huntress. The hunt has begun. Huntress charges away as Cake grows, taking up the whole corridor as she surges forward with claws out. She lashes out at Huntress who slides to evade, yet springs back up to continue running. She makes it through the corridor doors what forces Cake to shrink. Huntress spins around jumps on top of Cake, before leaping off her and back through the doors. Cake growls, and turns to follow. She suddenly grows hundreds of arms and sending them out at Huntress, who watches them approach her with a determined gaze.
Just as they were about to grab her she jumps, allowing them to smash into the ground. She continues running as more hands home in on her. Three hands rocket towards her head, what she ducks before jumping to dodge one sweeping at her feet. One goes to grab her arm, what she spins around to evade, and spots one go for her head. She backflips, moving her head and kicking Cake's arm, then lands and spins to face the right direction. Cake continues her merciless attacks, until she gives up and throws all her arms up in rage, then smashes them down. Huntress leaps to a wall, running on it for a second as the arms obliterate the floor. She jumps on them as they rise, using them to propel herself through a door. Cake huffs and returns back to her original form, before taking a deep breath and chasing after Huntress once more. Huntress meanwhile worries of Finn 'what are you doing? Are you coming back? Are you d- No he is too strong' She hears stretching behind her what causes her to sprint even faster.
A white beam seers a table apart as Finn takes frantic jumps around the room. Like it or not, without him being able to attack them he was in trouble. Gumball was making all sorts of weird chemicals and was lobbing them like crazy, creating a minefield of deadly puddles on the floor. All the while Fionna was hounding him with Milly's gauntlet, yet somehow she has missed every shot. He vaults over the table, leaping at Gumball as he smacks the next batch of chemicals out of his hand. Gumball swings at Finn's head but he jumps back to evade. The attack misses, what Finn quickly exploits as he grabs the royals arm and bends it behind his back, "Will you listen to me!? I'm not the bad gu-" Gumball slams his head back into Finn, causing the hero to stumble back. He spins around and punches Finn in the stomach, not that it does much but Fionna combos it with a metal punch to the face.
Finn hits the floor, acid resting above his head and preventing any sort of retreat. Fionna stands over him with a triumphant smile, aiming the gauntlet directly at Finn's head from mere centimetres away. "Can't escape this Finn!" The white beam charges up. And fires. Directly above Finn's head. Her arm had jerked away again, much to her despair as she looks at the eye, "What's wrong with you?!" The eye snaps open, and stares directly at her, shaking its eye. "No?!" Finn snatches his arm up, grabbing the gauntlet and pressing his foot on Fionna's chest. With a shove he sends her sprawling away. Without the gauntlet. Gumball stares in fear as Finn jumps up with Milly's gauntlet in hand as Finn stares at Gumball with anger. "Will you listen now!?" He shouts, startling Fionna as she rises.
"No! I will defeat you in the honor of Gumball!" She charges at Finn with a war cry.
He just sighs, sidestepping and letting her run by. She spins with fists raised and face- "Fionna, just stop." The bluntness in which Finn said those words stunning the girl for a moment, before she shakes her head,
"No! Not until you've been defeated!" Finn doesn't reply, just gently placing the gauntlet on the table before facing Gumball who was holding some metal rod like a bat.
"Will you let me talk?" Gumball glares but Finn just stares unflinchingly,
"Why should I?" Finn looks down to the ground, trying to actually think of a reason why they should trust him. Then he sees Milly's gauntlet open its eye once more, staring at him,
"Because the gauntlet didn't want to shoot me?" He suggests. Gumball glare remains uninterrupted.
"You have one minute."
"Why are you attacking me?" Gumball raises his eyebrow in confusion,
"Did you just seriously ask that?"
"Yes! I have no idea why you hate me or Huntress!" Finn retorts, finally putting his sword away. Gumball glare worsens as he says in a low voice,
"Because you are a spy, you story is absolutely baloney, you tried to manipulate Fionna, you conspired with the Ice Queen, and possibly working with the Lady of evil Hana Abadeer!" With every single charge thrown at Finn, his eyes widen and the rising shock was clear on his face. He stares at Gumball as his mind processes the information,
"... WHAT LED YOU TO YOU THINKING ALL OF THAT?!" He demands, his anger blowing.
"Simple. You knew my kingdom well, to the point of knowing the secret paths of my kingdom just off of memory, combined with your desperate escape of capture told me immediately that you didn't want to be found."
"I admit, I looked guilty running, but I was worried about breaking a cosmic crime! But the reason why I know your kingdom so well is that I served the OOO version of you." Gumball ignores him 'Why is he sticking to the same lie?'
"Next, we have video and photo evidence of you trying to swoon Fionna-" That confuses both humans as they look at him with awkward perplexity, "- when you both held her hand and flirted with her." Finn was once again stunned,
"When did that happen?!" Finally, Fionna speaks up as well,
"I… don't remember that either Gumball." The Prince mutters, bringing his phone out as he starts scanning through it, and a moment later he presents them a video. They both immediately lean in, but as they get close to watch Fionna flinches and pulls herself away from Finn. He looks away from the phone at her scared expression, but eventually returns her gaze. It was when he was training Fionna with a sword.
"Err… How is this… me flirting?" He questions as he searches for anything that the royals could be mistaken about. He yanks the phone back, looking angrily at Finn,
"YOU WERE DOING HER FAVOURITE THING WITH HER! YOU WERE SHOWING OFF TO HER!" He shouts enraged.
"... I think you are making a giant out of a goblin Gumball." Finn says plainly. Gumball becomes furious,
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Finn stands tall, staring at Gumball
"You've made a mistake." Gumball bares his teeth in anger, grinding them,
"And your story! I've never heard such a ludicrous thing in my entire life!" The royal throws his arms up again, spinning around and facing away from Finn as he rants, "Who are you? A genderbent Fionna from another dimension! How did you get here? 'magic' from an ancient god of chaos! Where's your evidence?" He spins back around, shoving a finger against Finn's chest, "You don't have any." He says venomous, but Finn sighs,
"You're right, I don't have any evidence… but do you really think I could make something like that up?"
"Yes." He leans away from the hero, glaring as he leans against a cupboard. And secretly clutching a vile of acid behind him.
"And you thought the best answer was to try and kill me?!"
"You are also aligned with the Ice Queen!" He accuses, ignoring his question. "Someone who has made hundreds of plans over hundreds of years that mainly consist of kidnapping of royals. Including me! You are obviously another plan for her to kidnap me-"
"No! It is because she isn't guilty, the tiara is! She really does want to change Gumball! So I'm helping her stop kidnapping you!"
"Stop lying!" Gumball spat out.
"I'm not!" Fionna meanwhile sneaks behind Finn as he argues with Gumball, snatching Milly's gauntlet. 'This is to complicated for me to handle, I prefer it when Finn wasn't here' She nods to Gumball as she silently puts it on, prompting Gumball to ask his final damning accusation.
"And finally, you are in partnership with Hana Abadeer, the Lady of Evil!"
"What makes you even think that?!" Finn asks, honestly confused.
"YOUR SWORD!" Finn's face twist in thought. Before going wide eyed,
"Oh yeah! I forgot he did that!"
"Who did what?" Gumball spits.
"Her genderbent version: Hunson Abadeer!" Finn then smirks as an idea comes to his head, "To help defend me from you family members who had returned back to normal." Gumball goes wide eyed 'How does he!?-'
Fionna smashes into the side of Finn as she tackles him. Despite her smaller size, she was using the gloves power to increase her strength, her glowing hand grabbing both of Finn's before slamming them onto the ground. As she wasn't actually planning on hurting Finn, it granted this power. But just because she wasn't going to hurt him doesn't mean he will be fine. "Gumball!" The prince blinks, still recovering from the news Finn had said but runs to the side of Finn, revealing a beaker of green acid.
"WAIT! HOW CAN I PROVE MYSELF INNOCENT!?" Gumball shakes his head,
"You can't. I won't risk my kingdoms safety on 'maybes', I can't leave you alive." He tilts the beaker. Finn grimaces. He swore to finding a peaceful route '... But I won't leave Huntress in danger!' He knees Fionna in the stomach, stunning her as he forces his arms with all his strength, moving her Milly's gauntlet. He lifts it above his head, using it as a shield as the acids strike it. Gumball snaps his arm away in fear of harming Fionna, but the gauntlet fully protects her.
Finn kicks Fionna's legs out from underneath her, making her flop over onto him. He rolls, flipping them over before scrambling to a stand, using Fionna as a shield. The heroine freezes up, pupils becoming a dot as she loses herself to fear as Finn overpowers her 'This is like back then!..' Gumball glares at Finn, who returns it, "Gumball, I tried talking, but you aren't listening." He surprisingly shoves Fionna at him, startling the prince as he catches her before looking back up at the hero. "I'm going back to the Ice Kingdom. I'm going to kick Cakes buns, I'm going to destroy the Gumball guardians-"
"Bubblegum guardians"
"Whatever! Then I'm going to bring Cake back here and that is it. We won't see each other again, you won't come for me, or Huntress, or Ice Queen. You won't bother us ever again. And if you do, your kingdom will fall." He says angrily glaring at the Prince. But to be honest, he didn't mean his last threat. Sure, he'll defend Huntress, and he won't come to bother Gumball. But to attack Gumball himself? No.
The Prince freezes up at the threat, especially when Finn emphasises it by pulling his sword from his back. Finn doesn't say or do anything however, just slowly backing away towards the door. All three keep eye contact with each other until he reaches the large lab doors, where Finn freezes, biting his lip, "... Is there anyway for me to persuade you that I'm Fionna's counterpart?" Gumball glares, but eventually mutters,
"If it will get you out of my kingdom, then leave a hair, I'll do a DNA test." Finn wastes no time, putting his hand inside his hat, and a second later coming out with a very long sample. He places it on a nearby table, before booking it out the lab doors. A moment later, both Gumball and Fionna slouch and rest themselves against a table, only now realising how afraid they were. "Thank glob he is gone… I'll tell Cake to prepare for his arrival. With luck, she and the Bubblegum guardians can bring him down."
He reaches down for his phone, only to find it missing. "Drats, must of fell out during the fight." He leaves Fionna and starts walking around the lab, dodging puddles of acid. Fionna meanwhile gets up, slightly twitchy after facing Finn, causing her to seek a way to distract herself from the sight of him that was still fresh in her memory. She walks in a straight line around the room, until eventually she unknowingly approaches Finn's hair. She stares at it, '... It is long like mine…' She shakes her head, believing it to be another trick. Until Milly's gauntlet glows. It was only for a split second, but it was enough to make Fionna panic. She aims it to the ceiling, but when nothing happens, she brings her arm back down, looking at it confused. And finds its yellow eye staring at her.
"What?" It looks away, staring at something else. Fionna follows it gaze. Finn's hair. "No it's a trick!" The gauntlet glares at her, constantly looking between her and the hair.
Fionna hesitates, before looking over at Gumball crawling on the floor. "So… should we do a DNA test on the hair?" Gumball looks up at her with visible confusion,
"... No?" Fionna shuffles nervously, looking down at the gauntlet. It continues to stare at her.
"But what if he is telling the truth?" Gumball sighs before getting up, and walking over to her. "I mean, as a hero, I have to give everyone a chance."
"Fionna, this is probably your hair, and by the time we do the DNA check he would of beaten Cake and disappeared into the wind. Or worse, does some final scheme." Fionna stares into his eyes in a silent plead,
"I can't live with the knowledge that I may have hurt some innocent person, even if him killing me did something to me. I mean there has to be a reason why Milly's gauntlet didn't want to shoot him. So please, can we just get some answers." Gumball huffs before spinning around and walking to a cupboard, yanking out some machine and a tweezer.
"Alright fine. But search for my phone while I do this."
"Thanks Gumball! You're the best!" Fionna shouts energetically, before quickly shifting to do rounds around the room. The Prince sighs, letting the girl be her as he grabs the hair with his tweezers, before inserting it into the machine. It powers up, but it would be some time till he got results 'Better spend the time well' He finds Fionna standing still, staring down at the ground. After a moment of trying to figure her out, he gives up and walks towards her,
"What's wrong?"
"I found your phone." He joins her in staring as he watches his phone melt in a puddle of acid.
"... I knew I should have gone for a Nokia." He sighs, stepping away,
"Now what?"
"We fix the lab while we wait for the results." Fionna groans in disappointment, not looking forward to the task.
"... And maybe we can cuddle afterwards."
"Yay!"
Finn dashes across AAA, eyes locked on the Ice Kingdom. Or more accurately, Ice Queen taking wild and violent evasive manoeuvres as she desperately tries to escape the weapons of the Bubblegum guardians. With both of them focusing on her in sync, they leave her no moment to counter attack 'and flying isn't an ice spell' His feet hits the snow as he approaches the mountain. Suddenly Ice Queen swoops at him, yanking him off the ground. "Finn! What are you doing here?! Was the talks a success?"
"No, I don't think so! You have my permission to drop these guys!"
"Oh so kind of you!" She says sarcastically as she arcs under a laser, making Finn chuckle,
"What about Huntress? How is she doing?"
"... I have no idea. All I know is that she is still inside, but I saw Cake climb in through the hole."
"How long can you handle these guys for?"
"For hours!"
"Then drop me off at the secret entrance, I'll help Huntress if she needs it, then I'll come help you!" She loops around the mountain, quickly flying into the slight dent where the door was.
"Go save your girlfriend Finn!" She teases, before rocketing away and towards the Bubblegum guardians.
Finn quickly grabs his ice card before pressing it against the door, rushing inside as he blushes. A minute later he bursts out of the floor of the throne room. He quickly scans the area for either Huntress or Cake, but comes up empty handed, so he rushes out. Sprinting into the corridors he listens intently for them, but in the end just decides to follow the trail of destruction that they have made. The sight of obliterated floors and cracked walls fills Finn with an unrivalled fear 'Relax, this is Huntress. She can handle herself' Then there was a massive crash just ahead of him and the walls shake violently, stumbling him. He doesn't waste time and rushes towards it. He smashes through a corridor doors to find himself in the room where he danced with Ice Queen, but this time there was a large angry cat and a smirking Huntress. Both their eyes lock onto him, but he doesn't care as he sighs 'Not even a scratch on her' Cake shrinks back to normal, but brings up her fists as she glares at Finn.
"Finn?! What have you done to Fionna?! And Gumball?!" She demands,
"They're alive and fine." He turns away from her, looking at Huntress, "Bad news: Talking with them has kind of failed." Huntress nods, readying herself into an evasive stance once more bow as she stares at Cake. "You can defend yourself now Huntress. BUT! Don't hurt her! Got it?!" Huntress looks at him with concern,
"Are you sure you want us to fight?" Cake lunges out at her, but she back flips out of the way, keeping her eyes locked onto Finn.
"No, but we don't have a choice." Finn says guiltily, "I failed." He sighs in disappointment at himself, but then looks at her, "You need a hand?" Cake goes wide eyed, she knows she can't take both of them on. So she grows a paw massive before slashing her claws at them. Finn leaps towards the danger, pulling his sword free and holding it flat against his body. The paw smashes into him, his sword protecting him from the claws as his feet hit the ground and push. His resistance slides them both to halt, before Cake yanks her limb back.
"No, don't worry Finn. I can do this solo, even without magic." Finn turns to face her, shocked, but then nods,
"Alright, I trust you. Good luck." He turns, before sprinting away back to the way he came, "I'll be helping Ice Queen!" With those final words, he leaves the girls be. They instantly lock glares onto each other.
"You must be pretty confident if you think can beat me." Huntress doesn't reply and instead leaps at Cake, tackling her to the ground. Cake grows in a flash, the transition launching Huntress off her and sending her smashing into the ceiling, causing the cat to smirk and rear a fist back. Huntress hits the roof hard and was stunned, groaning as she falls limply. She quickly recovers, and finds a massive fist in front of her. She tucks her limbs in as she becomes a small as possible. The fist just barely skims by, and Huntress springs her limbs out. Her feet touch Cake's arm, before she runs down it.
She sprints into a jump, before flicking both legs out and kicking Cake directly in the head. The massive feline stumbles back clutching her face, allowing Huntress to land on the floor safely and dash to her legs. She sprints between them and slides to a halt just past them before charging at her left leg, springing into the air and drop kicking the limb. She strikes at the joint, forcing it to buckle. Cake comes crashing down onto her knee before she spins and slashes at Huntress, who leaps away from the claws before rushing back at Cake. She latches onto her back and quickly starts scaling the giant. The feline turns her tail into a long rigid stick, and starts beating her back. Huntress leaps onto it as it comes to whack her, before getting carried away by the tail. It grows and spins around in front of Cake who promptly tries to yank the pest off her. Huntress actually jumps onto the incoming hand, landing on feline's palm before flipping herself onto the back of it.
She then reaches down, grasping a handful of hair and starts ripping it out. Cake yelps, and raises her other hand to slap Huntress off, but she quickly dashes out of the way. She sprints up the arm as Cake's hand follows slapping as she tries smushing the nymph. Huntress leaps at Cake's face, hand following it all the while. She lands on the startled felines face, before hopping off as Cake smacks herself. She growls at the annoying pest as she lifts her arms above her head, and grows her fist to humongous size before smashing them sown onto the ground. The blow releases a shockwave that sends Huntress flying off her feet, and a second later she hits the ground. She skids on her side before springing her limbs out and grinding herself to a halt, staring at Cake on all four. Who promptly charges at Huntress, turning her arm into a large wall. Huntress spins around and runs at a wall, before leaping on it and launching herself off it.
She arcs through the air, and hits the top off the shield before flipping over. Cake stares in shock as Huntress descends on her, and shrinks back to normal to avoid another kick to the face. Huntress lands on the ground as Cake turns her arm into a sword and charges her. Huntress pounces onto her and tackles her to the ground. She rears a fist back and goes for a knockout punch, but Cake stretches her face forward and head-butts her. Huntress misses but doesn't get off, now instead grabbing Cake's stretched head and slams it into the floor. The feline's vision blurs but she doesn't fall unconscious, instead she stretches both arms around Huntress like serpents, starting to crush her. She stands up, and promptly stomps on Cake's face. The stunned cat's arms go limp, unravelling off Huntress. She goes to finish the cat off, a quick punch flying towards the feline. Until she shrinks 'Not this again!' Cake grows underneath her, smashing underneath the nymph.
She rockets up, smashing into the ceiling again, creating a small cloud of ice as she becomes stuck, before flopping down to the floor. She smacks into the floor, stunned and limp as Cake towers over her with a smirk. She turns her hands into a sword, and brings it down. The room's doors smashes open and six men rush inside. The sudden arrival distracts Cake, making her halt the descent of her blade. What gives enough time for Huntress to recover, who brings her legs to her chest and boots Cake, launching her away. The cat goes sprawling away, causing the wizard to sigh and push herself to a rise, looking at the men as they rush to her side, weapons in hand. "Huntress! Finn has updated us on the situation!" She nods, staring at Cake scrambling to her feet.
"You do know we can't hurt her right?" She says, noticing their drawn weapons.
"Yeah, but we don't have a place to stow them, and we don't want to leave it to the side encase she grabs them." Cake rushes at them, growing as large as she can.
The group breaks up as Cake tries to stomp on them, before the men all group back together on Cake. They all swarm in on her, climbing up the feline. She immediately starts swatting them off, sending them flying around the room. But on one of her swings Huntress latches onto the hand, using the momentum to swing up to Cake's face and driving her foot into her face hard. The massive feline stumbles back, before tripping on her own feet and tumbling to the floor. The men quickly swarm back in and start wailing on her head. Huntress meanwhile darts away, examining the room for anything she can use 'I need something big if I'm to knock her out' Cake swats all the men away in one swoop, halting Huntress's plans as the feline rises. One of the men spring back to his feet, and rushes back at Cake.
And gets booted.
He flies through the air before smashing into the wall, a loud crack echoing out as he clutches his leg with a scream of pain. Huntress growls and pounces at Cake, "Make sure he is alright!" She latches onto Cake's leg and hops up to her face, punching her closed eyes. Three men rush to their comrades aid, while the other two join Huntress in trying to take her down.
They ram themselves into the back of her legs, but that does nothing to shift the giant cat. She reaches up and swipes at Huntress, who leaps off just in time, before stretching her hands to wrap the men up. They book it, running away from the hands as they chase them. But they run in a circle around Cake. The limbs quickly wrap around Cake, forcing her to stop as she untangles herself. What Huntress uses to her advantage as she scales the back of her. She reaches Cake's head and she goes to swat her off. She latches onto the hand and uses its momentum to fling her up. And land on a chandler hanging above her head.
Whipping her skinning blade out she cuts the line, making it drop as she hops off. Cake however notices and stretches her arms out, catching the falling decoration in her hands before spinning with it. After a few rotations, she lets go and sends it flying into a wall. It shatters in a shower of ice shards that rain down on the men, covering them all in shallow cuts as they give cries of pain. Huntress grimaces 'How does Finn protect everyone else during a fight?' Cake doesn't care as her eyes remain locked onto Huntress, "Give up! I need to check up on Fionna!" Huntress's answer was to sprint away, running out of the room. Cake blinks, before shrinking and growling, giving chase on all fours, "Get back here!" Huntress meanwhile was scanning the everything as she runs by, looking for something to assist her.
Cake suddenly latches onto her back before reaching her paws around her waist and clawing at Huntress's stomach. Giant claws quickly shred her clothes and cause bleeding cuts to form, purple blood actually coming out. Huntress jumps and spins in the air, landing on her back, crushing Cake. The impact stuns the feline as she lets go, allowing Huntress to flip onto her feet. She looks back to knock her out, but she was already recovering, so she spins and continue running. She bursts through the next door, finding herself in the throne room. She quickly grabs an armoured mannequin's ice spear, and shoves it through the door handles. A massive thump is heard, before a muffled "Ow!" Huntress spins around, and starts looking for useful objects in the room. She grabs a second mannequin's spear, before looking around. As the thumps on the door gets worse, she eventually checks the throne. To her surprise, it wasn't frozen to the ground, and was fully capable of being moved.
Looking at the spear in her hand, she grins, finally with a plan. With a roar off effort, Cake smashes the door open with giant fists, snapping the spear. "Alright! Show yourself! Because if Fionna is hurt and you're wasting my time…" She says, leaving the punishment to Huntress's imagination. She hears a bang as something drops in Ice Queen's room. With a large smirk she charges behind the throne, "You messed up you dingus!" She rockets past the throne obscuring her view of the room, and through the doorway. And smashes her head on a bar. Her bottom half flies out from underneath her, taking the charge into the room tail first. What Huntress grabs. Her plan was simple: Use the throne to hide the room, put the spear in the doorway horizontally, and wait in front of the door for Cake. 'And now for the next part' With tail in hand, she charges at the throne, dragging a stunned Cake behind her. Just before impact, she turns her shoulder to it and smashes into it.
The throne is heavy, so instead of going flying, all it does is tip onto its edge. Just as Huntress wanted it to as she throws Cake tail directly underneath it. And then the throne tipped back. Whatever stunned state Cake was in was completely shattered as she screams in pain, grabbing her trapped tail out of reflex. Huntress books it, dashing away from Cake as she tugs at her tail for freedom. But she also was also staring at Huntress as she escapes. She tugs a few more times, before giving up and scrambling to her feet as she runs after Huntress, "You can't run from me!" She shouts as she chases her, stretching her tail as she runs. Huntress smirks as she dashes down a corridor, and a moment later Cake joins her in said corridor, her stretching tail wrapping around objects. But most importantly, wearing her out as she starts to overstretch herself.
She grows her arms, and starts swinging with massive fists at Huntress. She does a tactical halt, letting the fist swing in front of her and smash a wall before continuing to run. Cake growls and grows her legs, her larger steps allowing her to catch up to her prey. Now closer, she lifts both fists up and smashes them down, but after doing it so many times Huntress smirks. The fist slam down and unleash a shockwave, but instead of sending her sprawling, it sends her flying. Huntress shoots through the air, using the force to propel herself forward and she quickly smashes through the corridor's doors. Cake groans at her failure and shrinks down to fit through the doors. However, when she goes through she tries to grow again. And immediately struggles. With a huff, she only grows her legs, using them to catch up to Huntress.
She rapidly approaches Huntress, paws held out to grab the woman. Who spins around and punches her square in the jaw. With her mind scrambled, her massive legs fail, tripping up on themselves as she tumbles to the ground, while Huntress sprints ahead and through a side door. Cake rushes to her feet and continues to follow, wiping some sweat off her forehead. She barges after Huntress, now finding themselves in the kitchen, and Huntress waiting for her.
Cake lunges out at her claw first, who ducks to evade before vaulting over a table. Cake quickly pursues her as she slides under tables, leap through cupboards, and makes a massive loop around a large collection of machines. She grows multiple arms out, snatching knives and other sharp objects and chucking them at Huntress. She grabs a large frying pan that was hanging, using it as a shield as the attacks all bounce off the metal harmlessly. She slides under another table, before jumping over Cake's tail and back out of the kitchen pan in hand.
Cake continues to chase her, but huffs a little. She tries shape shifting her legs massive again, but they simply refuse to. So she continues in her normal form, chasing Huntress as she leads through some large double doors. Smashing through the doors, Cake realises she has led her back to the garden. And that Huntress has once again disappeared into them. Cake walks in calmly, scanning every bush and tree, "You can't have gone far! Show yourself!" Silence was her reply, so she continues searching. She starts with a dark bush next to her. And find two glowing eyes staring at her. She yelps as Huntress leaps out, tackling her into the snow. The wizard pins her, silently holding her down as she struggles 'I've got to wear her out' Cake growls, and slashes her claws at her face. Huntress flinches back as the claws rack her cheeks, three lines of purple blood dribbling out of her wound.
Cake shoves her off, and goes to grow her fist to super punch Huntress. But she can't summon her power to, and instead throws a regular punch, what Huntress easily catches. She spins around Cake, bending her arm behind her back. With the feline in a lock, Huntress stomps on Cake's leg. She falls to her knees, but brings up her other hand to slash at Huntress's wrist. The wizard is forced to let go but not before punching Cake at the back of her head. She turns and runs, jumping onto a low branch before pulling herself up. Cake quickly uses her claws to scale the tree, and starts the chase again through the branches. Huntress spots another tree intertwined with her current one and jumps into it, ignoring the painful whacks as branches whip her. Cake leaps after her, but huffs on landing, taking a moment to catch her breathe before continuing to chase Huntress as she continues to hop between trees,
From tree to tree, they continue to run, with Cake's tail continuing to stretch all the while. Huntress looks back, finding that Cake was actually starting to get skinny, and was sweating profusely. But she was still glaring. Huntress suddenly jumps, landing in a bush for cushioning before continuing to sprint. A panting Cake face plants a moment later, before sluggishly getting up covered in leaves and branches, then. Huntress continues to sprint away, looping back around and heading back to the door. She arrives back, standing next to the bush she was hiding in. A minute later, a panting, stumbling, and incredibly skinny Cake arrives. She takes a single logy swing at Huntress, who simply side steps it. She then reaches into the bush, the very same one she was hiding in earlier, and pulls out the frying pan. Cake wobbles towards her, raising a shrivelled finger, "I will beat-" Huntress smashes the frying pan in her face.
She collapses like a sack of potatoes. Huntress huffs, dropping the pan as she looks around. There was Cake everywhere, her tail caught and tied around everything. She looks around, before grabbing a heavy looking stone and setting it on top of Cake, keeping her pinned to the floor and unable to un-stretch if she wakes up.
She had heard from tales that Jake was super stretchy, and just encase he and Finn came for her one day, she did some research on how to beat them. Apparently there was a limit, and if he overdid it he would shrivel up, but she never knew how far he could stretch 'Turns out, pretty far' she then smirks and shakes her head 'Man, it's a bit silly to think that Finn would come after me now… though I guess I would actually like that now as well' Then another memory comes to her mind. It was of her research of Finn and Jake. She knew she had to overstretch Jake. But Finn?
Her plan was to attack from afar and as a sneak attack. Because she knew from his record that if she took him head on, then she would lose. What she did exactly in the arena 'Why did I win then? Sure he was injured, but I was pretty much out as well… did he let me win?' the ground shakes, the thump coming from outside. She shakes her head 'later, we have got a fight to win first' She leaves Cake, knowing she would be too weak to lift the stone, and heads back inside to find the men. A few minutes later, she finds them right where she expected to: in the first room with the stage. They were either attending their injured friend's leg, their own cuts from the chandelier, or resting against the wall. They all snap their heads to her the moment she entered, staring at her, "Is Cake-"
"She is knocked out, yes." The men sigh, gaining grins and relaxing,
"So how ya Knock her out?"
"I pinned her tail, made her stretch till she hit her limit, then hit her with a frying pan. Be careful not to trip on her tail."
She walks over to them, pulling her cape off as she does so. She makes her way to the man with the broken leg, and after giving it a quick look over, decides to wrap it up with her cape. "Thank you." She nods, but then stares them in the eye.
"We have time to spare, it would be suicide to attack the Gumball guardians-"
"You mean Bubblegum guardians?"
"...Yes, but in the meantime, how did you meet Finn?" She questions, making them all gulp.
Back in the candy kingdom, Fionna and Gumball just sat staring at the machine as it does its work, cuddling as Gumball promised. Next to it was another machine, doing the same process on Fionna's hair to compare against. Despite fighting against Finn, they had pretty much no injuries, only small bruises and tiny scratches that didn't even break their skin, a fact that they only realised after he left. A fact that only made Fionna feel worse, as she takes a glance at Milly's gauntlet. "What will do after this? If he is innocent that is? I mean, I know what we'll do after this if he isn't…" Fionna's question makes Gumball sigh.
"I'm… not sure… I guess an apology would be warranted. But! Just because his DNA might match yours doesn't mean he is clear of any doubt! I mean he could be your twin brother!"
"... But he is older than me?"
"Or maybe he is an evil version of you from another universe! Who came here to kill all of us!"
Fionna stares at the floor, before slowly turning her head to Gumball, "... Maybe. But I think you might be other thinking it." Gumball stares down at Fionna with shock. Usually Fionna just blindly agreed to everything he said, something he has both tried to avoid exploiting, and something he has exploited. To hear her stand up and form her own opinion that goes against his own… it makes him proud of her, and worry about her just the same.
"I can't help but think of every possible outcome for things Fionna, I'm a scientist!" Fionna nods with a smile. Then they hear a ping, and Finn's machine finishes.
Gumball jumps up, rushing to his computer and hooking it up with the machine, the data loading onto the screen. Then a moment later, Fionna's finishes as well, what he also quickly plugs in. He tells the machine to compare them both. A pink bar appears on the screen as both Gumball and Fionna stand anxiously.
It reaches a quarter.
Fionna looks at Milly's gauntlet, and finds it staring creepily at her. She looks away and back onto the screen.
It reaches half way.
She looks at Gumball who was staring at the screen emotionlessly.
It is at three-quarters.
She stares at the screen, fingers tapping nervously.
Ninety nine percent...
Completed.
Gumball immediately hops onto the keyboard and mouse, clicking options and typing commands to the computer. Then he suddenly freezes as something appears on the screen, a small box with words and numbers in it. He turns around and stares at Fionna, "It is a ninety five point eight three recurring match." Fionna blinks.
"Err... Meaning?"
"He is you." She freezes up. "That small unmatch is the X and Y chromosome, the one that dictates if you will be a boy or a girl." Fionna doesn't respond, worrying Gumball enough that he stands in front of her, waving his for a reaction. Her eyes don't follow, but then she blinks and stares at him.
"So his story could be true?" Gumball hesitates,
"Y-yes, theoretically he could be telling the truth." Fionna remains silent, quietly walking over to Milly's gauntlet and slipping it on. "Fionna-"
"Lets go stop that attack."
"Fine! But I will still put Finn in prison, just so we can ask him some questions that only you would know the answer to." Fionna scowls at him, before sighing and pushing on. First, Finn 'murdered' her, what did something to her. Now, she has just learnt that she might of been attacking an innocent person, breaking her hero oath. It was just one mind break after another.
"Fine, but don't hurt him." Gumball doesn't respond but rushes past her,
"This way! I know a way for us to get there faster!" He leads her down some candy corridors before arriving at a guest room. Opening it, he finds a very long black horse laying curled up in a pile with a book in hand. Fionna rushes towards him,
"Lord Monochromicorn! We need your help! If we don't hurry Cake could get hurt!" The monochromicorn speedily unwinds, staring at Fionna with his white eyes before huffing, letting out a white cloud from his nose as he presents his back to them. They both quickly hop on, with Gumball at the front and Fionna behind him, wrapping her hands around his stomach. Lord Monochromicorn doesn't wait for them to give any sign that they were ready, immediately launching out of the door, smashing it off its hinges before rocketing down the hall. Not a minute later they were out the castle, a slightly whiplashed couple murmuring out, "The Ice Kingdom…" And they were clutching to his back for their life once more as they propel towards the home of the Ice Queen.
Minutes earlier, Finn dashes out of the secret passageway and onwards, leaving Huntress behind her to face Cake 'she'll be fine' He turns around a boulder, and finds Ice Queen darting through the air, only letting off small ice spells. Finn sighs. He had noticed it during his fight with her that she had to be either still, floating, or stuck going in a single direction to do a spell. If she were to halt for even a second, then she would be obliterated by the lasers of the humongous machines. So until she got help, she could not harm the Bubblegum guardians. And Finn is all about helping people. With a small smile, he pulls his sword free and rushes towards the towering robots silhouetted by the sun as they annihilate everything in massive, earth-shaking explosions.
Finn, or Bubblegum guardians, who would win?
Now, I used 'hunting' and other such words to describe Cake hunting Huntress, but she forgot. No one can hunt the Huntress, when she is hunting you.
Now before anyone gets disappointed that I didn't use the bosses as guards in the fight, I shall tell you why. I've already use them, and it will probably be boring to hear them do the same moves with just a bit more power. So to spare you, I decided to use the hint I left about Cake saying the mountain was hollow as foreshadowing/explanation.
Huntress has purple blood. Before anyone says I got that from nowhere, there actually is a reason, and I got the idea from a post 'Tolliver J Mortaelwyver' made on Tumblr:
'Broke:
Huntress Wizard is a plant and would, thus, have green blood because she is a plant and photosynthesizes. Hunting be damned!
Woke (and mildly Nerdy):
Huntress Wizard, being the MOVING, breathing, and active plant ANIMAL that she is would not be able to generate enough energy from photosynthesis alone, especially because she would still need certain nutrients to survive that plants do not produce on their own (like protein and, nitrogen...which generally comes from, you guessed it, dead plants and dead animals in the ground); photosynthesis is the process of taking CARBON DIOXIDE and water to produce sugar and energy for the plant while giving off oxygen as waste, thus, if Huntress Wizard had blood (which she would have to unless her body is sustained by magic), it would be purplish, not green.Huntress Wizard's blood (and tongue) are PURPLE (and her breathe is probably like fresh air to Finn).'
Yeah, there's the explanation. Might not explain it fully, but I don't know science like that all too well, so I'm going to blindingly trust it :) Besides, it spices things up a bit.
The discord was a complete failure, no one joined. So I will probably shut it down at the end of the week unless someone joins for some reason.
Review response:
The Book of Eli, on FF, chapter 21:
Glad you liked the throwback! It is set at the beginning of the show after all :)
Why? What could go wrong when someone visits their demonic mothers?
Yeah! IQ is a queen that is hundreds of years old, she will have her way, and that includes protecting those that she cares about.
Man… I didn't think about Finn riding in on an ice dragon… so awesome… I've got to definitely add that later.
Finn is indeed seeking the path of peacefulness, and it was definitely nice to see. Of course, having known criminals in your kingdom might hurt Ice Queen's image at first, but reforming them will definitely improve it. Maybe to the point where the other royals do indeed trust her a bit.
Claz7960, on FF, chapter 21:
Yeah, sorry for the messed up upload schedule.
Yeah, I decided that after that high intensity of the arena fight that a cool down was required. Yeah, I remember that these are characters, not just pure rage embodiments XD They both have fears, and they both care for things and people. And to be honest, I'm not sure where to take PG, ML, and Fionna, but I'm thinking of a three way relationship maybe.
Yeah, Ice Queen and Huntress were both on edge as they were surrounded by enemies, but yeah they will remain as friends for now. Yeah, Huntress will reflect on her victory, just after this fight. As I said last chapter (21) the next arc will be more emotion based. Who knows how she'll react, she may indeed become confident in her abilities and finally stop questioning if she is hard meat. And if not, then there might be more ways to prove herself... After she has questioned Finn for tricking her XD
Yeah, Finn hasn't really been afraid of his foes after defeat. But that is because they didn't kill him. Her death had impacted her hard, and is making her question herself, and will definitely be prevalent in later chapters.
Thank you for the compliments! I'll see you next time!
