Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.

Bubblegum looked at the Green Knight riding the Topiary Bush Dragon and the Phantomrider as they closed the space between themselves and Bubblegum and her comrades.

"We're going to need a storm." Said Chicle to the others.

"I'm on it." Said Eria as she raised her hands into the air and used her magic to form some large black storm clouds.

"Let us give you a hand." Said Noah as he and Mavis began to fire water and lightning into the clouds making them grow and thunder.

The clouds began to unleash large amounts of frozen hail and shoot lighting down at the pursuers. This weather tactic did slow the pursuers as they were pelted by the hail and forced to dodge the lightning strikes, but they still continued chasing their prey. Phantomrider fired a blast of psychic energy and the heads of the Topiary Bush Dragon blasted fire at the snow owl's back. Chicle stood up and raised his arms. A large purple energy shield popped up in front of him and stretched out to protect the snow owl. The attacks slammed into the shield and exploded, but the shield held.

"Where did that Green Knight guy go?" Asked Bubblegum pointing at the Topiary Bush Dragon's back, which now had nobody riding it.

Something flew up from below and landed on the front of the snow owl. It was the Green Knight, but now both his arms were enormous green bat wings. The wings quickly changed back into arms. The right arm had an axe hand and the left arm had a clawed hand. The Green Knight rushed at Bubblegum swinging the arm with an axe, but Noah stepped in front of Bubblegum and caught both the axe hand and the the claw hand. For a few moments the Green Knight and Noah grappled with each other. It seemed like the two were evenly matched. One of many little holes in the Green Knight's helmet opened up and a glob of green slime shot out. Noah moved his way out of the slime as he began to transform into his werewolf form. He soon stood taller then the Green Knight and he used his increased strength and size to pick the evil knight and hurled him off the snow owl.

The Green Knight flew backwards and began to fall to the ground below, but he turned his right arm into a long stretchy tentacle and used it to grab onto the snow owl's left leg and pull himself back up.

"No hitchhikers!" Yelled Mavis as she fired some lightning at the Green Knight.

The lighting raced towards Green Knight and Bubblegum watched in stunned horror and amazement as the Green Knight's upper body twisted in a very unnatural way to the left to avoid getting hitting before reverting back to it's original shape.

"Give me the queen and the rest of you will be allowed to escape and live." Said the Green Knight in a emotional voice.

"No deal." Said Eria as she formed a ice shuriken and hurled it at the Green Knight.

The Green Knight swatted at the shuriken, but when he struck it, the weapon split into two smaller versions of itself and they continued to fly forward and struck the Green Knight in his helmeted face and buried themselves into it!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Roared the Green Knight in pain as he reeled back with green liquid leaking from his helmet.

As that was happening, Chicle was defending the rear from attacks from the Topiary Bush Dragon and the Phantomrider. The two enemies kept attacking Chicle's shield making it flicker and weaken. It would not hold up much longer. Chicle dropped the shield and tossed what appeared to be a grenade at the two. Phantomrider raised his hand and caught the grenade with his psychic powers and pushed it away from himself and the Topiary Bush Dragon. The two villains thought they were safe from the explosion of the grenade, but unfortunately it wasn't an ordinary grenade. It was a flash grenade!

The flash grenade went off blinding the Phantomrider and the Topiary Bush Dragon and during that moment of blindness Chicle threw two freezing grenades at the two villains. One of the Topiary Bush Dragon's heads was frozen along with it's wings causing it to plummet to the ground. The Phantomrider was frozen in a chunk of ice and fell to the ground, but as it fell Chicle could already see cracks spreading on Phantomrider's icy prison. The monster would be free soon.

At the front the Green Knight had yanked the shurikens from his face and recovered. The Green Knight changed his righthand into a large green spear covered in spikes. Instead of charging forward the Green Knight leaped into the air and stabbed down into the snow owl's body! The snow owl let out a dying screaming before it exploded to bits and everyone began to fall to the ground below!

The Green Knight sprouted four spider legs and used them to leap from one frozen chunk to another towards Bubblegum. Bubblegum watched in horror as the Green Knight got closer and closer turning his righthand into a scythe and his lefthand into a crab-like claw. Just when the Green Knight was about to reach Bubblegum a blast of lightning and water slammed into the evil knight sending him flying away. Eria then appeared above the Green Knight and she used her powers to summon some of the ice chunks over to her and she formed them into a large ice spike.

"Take this!" Yelled Eria as she hurled the ice spike at the Green Knight with a blast of freezing wind.

The ice spike slammed into the Green Knight's chest sending him flying and smashing into the ground! Eria quickly created another snow owl to catch herself, Bubblegum, and Chicle. Noah sprouted his angel wings and flew onto the snow owl and Mavis used her own powers of flight to get on. The Phantomrider broke free from his ice prison and flew at the group. Eria blasted the Phantomrider with ice wind separating a large quantity of the swarm of nanobots that made the Phantomrider before she froze all the separate pieces and they fell to the ground.

The new snow owl flew forward and Bubblegum looked down at the ground. She saw the Topiary Bush Dragon using it's free head to breath fire to free it's other head and wings, the frozen chunks of the Phantomrider were working on freeing themselves, and the Green Knight laid on the ground impaled by the ice spike through the chest.

"At least the knight is dead." Said Bubblegum.

"Don't count it. The Green Knight has survived far worse." Said Chicle.

Bubblegum watched in stunned horror as the Green Knight began to move and push himself off the ice spike. The Green Knight got off the ice spike revealing a large hole through his chest and the hole began to close up. The evil knight looked up at the snow owl as it flew away.

"Who or what is the Green Knight?" Asked Bubblegum looking stunned.

"As far as we can tell the Green Knight is some kind of plant demon with amazingly fast regeneration abilities. He just showed up one day among Gumbald's forces and became his most deadly and loyal warrior." Said Chicle.

"What about the Phantomrider?" Asked Bubblegum.

"We don't know too much about him except he might be a project from Mount Milkey Way Asylum." Said Chicle.

"Mount Milkey Way Asylum? That place was supposed to help the mentally ill and study the mind. How could something like the Phantomrider come from there?" Said Bubblegum.

"We don't know what went down at the asylum, since it burned down a long time ago and most of the staff and patients were killed. The staff that did survive went to work for Gumbald and a patient we found just kept mumbling about the Phantomrider. So we really don't know anything much about the Phantomrider except he came from the asylum." Said Chicle.

"I...funded the creation of a monster." Mumbled Bubblegum in disbelief.

"Hey, you didn't know what was going in there, so don't blame yourself." Said Chicle.

"We made it to Sanctuary." Said Eria as the snow owl reached the border of the Ice Kingdom.

"Sanctuary?" Asked Bubblegum.

"One of the few safe places in Ooo." Said Chicle.

The snow owl flew over the border and vanished along with it's riders.
