FINN MERTENS
"Flame Princess!!", I yelled, anger slowly coursing in me.
"Finn run!!", she yelled back.
"Run? Run?? I am not abandoning you!".
I noticed her hissing slightly, gritting her teeth before flames enveloped her and the cloaked man's body.
The raging heap of flames sprung up to twenty feet in the air, the fire split slightly as the cloaked man dashed out now however his cloak was burnt up allowing him to be visible.
He stood tall, a few feet taller than me with broad shoulders and a bulky stature. He tore off the remnants of his burnt cloak allowing me to see his green scaly skin.
His face was like that of a lizard and a human with a pointed snout, weird facing eyes and a clump of black hair at the top of his head.
He wore a black compression shirt and shorts along with beautiful gold armour but the most alarming thing about him was by far the giant sword by his back.
The roaring flames eventually subsided and Flame Princess landed back on her feet, her wound now closed up.
"Finn, are you sure you won't run? I can hold them off", she pleaded.
"I'm sure, I won't leave you", I said as I unsheathed my blade. "I'm going to fight along with you".
"Kaiser, it's about time we handle them and return them to Yaeger", the Lizard man said.
The other cloaked man then tossed away his cloak revealing himself, pale yellow skin along with croaked razor sharp teeth that were stained with blood.
He had a devilish grin that would send any regular person into a frenzy and his build was just as tall as his counterpart if not taller with even bulkier muscle.
He had various scars which only enforced his experience and wore only skin tight shorts under his golden armour.
He stood hunched almost like his muscles were weighing him down then he clamped his two fists together and gold formed around them, twisting and turning until it formed the shape of gauntlets.
"I think it'll be a good idea if you handle the lizard one", Flame Princess whispered.
"I'm pretty sure he has a strong fire resistance".
I nodded to her and the four of us stood still, the breeze washed over desert once more before everywhere became quiet.
Then in a flash we both dashed diagonally taking on our respective opponents.
I rushed towards the Lizard man cutting the air with my blade as I aimed straight for his neck however he quickly unsheathed his great sword from his back, stabbing it onto the floor to block my attack.
Then he nimbly used the sword as an anchor before kicking me away, blowing the air out my lungs with the attack. I slid on the desert floor a few feet before stopping and gazing at the lizard man who had a grin on his face.
He picked up his sword again like it was a mere hand object, resting it on his shoulders neatly.
"Don't let my partners scary appearance fool you, I am the stronger one".
"I've always wondered why my boss cared so much about the Finn Mertens, like damn he always spoke about you like you were some god". He then widened his legs and propelled towards me saying, "So please allow me to test my strength with a god such as yourself".
SIMON PETRIKOV
The alternate Finn dashed at Lemongrab, sending various pillars of ice at him but in an instant, all of them shattered.
The alternate Finn finally reached him though and swung a punch at the base of the stomach sending him backwards and freezing a portion of it.
He landed on his feet though immediately propelling himself back, the ground under his feet breaking from the force.
Ice shields flung from the ground but each and every one was destroyed without even slowing down the quick lemon, he quickly arrived at the top of his head and swung down to the crown.
However Finn quickly clad his arms with ice and slapped the blade in place and stopping it in the air, the force of the swing shattered the ground below his feet though but he stood strong.
Lemongrab kicked Finn in the chest to create distance before charging back at him, swinging his blade quickly, each slash shattering ice and leaving cuts at the body.
As even more ice formed to block, Lemongrabs speed increased to destroy it. I could feel the frustration seeping from the crown, it felt insulted.
A mere Lemonman, not particularly tall nor smart nor a god nor warrior but it couldn't destroy it.
The alternate Finn let out a guttural roar as a slight shockwave pushed Lemongrab back. The alternate Finn then clad himself with heaps of ice, making an even bigger, stronger set of armour and gauntlets.
He charged at Lemongrab with resounding speed, seeming more like an animal now than a human.
Lemongrab took still, unfazed by the charging danger. A huff of air escaped from his mouth as he closed his eyes and held the sword to the front of his head.
Then his eyes jerked open and he thrusted the silver blade in the direction of him, in an instant tge ice armour surrounding him shattered just like it did at the start and the alternate Finn stopped dead in his tracks.
I was in awe, I never imagined Lemongrab could do all this, "How??".
"When all this happened, he lost his kingdom, his brother and fell into despair".
"Im not sure how he did it but he pulled himself out of it and now…he's changed".
Then T.V slowly passed Jake into my arms and said, "Let's end this now".
He sprinted to the back of the alternate Finn, pouncing on his back as quickly as he was close enough.
Lemongrab then lunged towards the alternate Finn and started attacking him, swinging and hacking at him causing him to defend himself.
He let out one final roar as T.V pulled the crown from his head as Finn slumped and fell to Lemongrabs shoulder, unconscious.
