(This is a Briar chapter)

(I am also here to announce that Briar has a new voice.)

https://youtu.be/ifi3XpK8c3E

(Yea I figured this voice works a lot better for her.. The chance has been reflected in the bio.)

[It is night and raining outside of the Tree Fort; Finn is sitting next to Briar at the table while Jake puts on some hot water.]

Jake: Hey, what kind of coffee do you want?

Finn: Hazelnut! Hazelnut!

Briar: Got any Peppermint Mocha?

Jake: Sure do.

Finn: What if your name was "Zelnut"? And then I would be all like "Hey, Zelnut."

Jake: That's terrible.

Finn: Aww come on. Bria you like it right?

Briar: Finny, you know I love you, but that was awful.

Finn: Hey, Zelnut.

[Irritated, Jake grows and gently bodyslams Finn, who laughs while Briar giggles at the scene.]

Jake: Nooooo! Stop!

[There is then a knocking sound.]

Finn: You hear that?

Briar: Who could be knocking at this hour?

[The wall is then burst through by none other than Susan Strong. She stands still as lightning flashes]

Finn/Jake: Susan Strong?!

Briar: Oh it's just her.

Susan: Finn, Bria, help Susan.

Finn: Of course I will.

Jake: Excuse us for a moment, Strong. [Jake takes Finn aside while Briar follows.] Dude, you know you're my bro, but that girl is bad news.

Briar: Come on Jake, she can't be that bad.

Finn: Bria's right.

Jake: She's crazy, man. She's a fish person!

Briar: We never did confirm that, also her aura feels human.

Jake: What do you mean by "feels" human?

Briar: Her aura showcases human parts like Finn's but there's something-

Jake: Fishy about it?

[Briar then smacks Jake upside the head]

Jake: Ow!

Briar: Don't interrupt me while I'm talking.

Jake: Sorry... Anyway, she tried to eat Peppermint Butler! She'd probably be worse if she was so scared of everything.

Finn: Whatever, look, she needs my help... and I'm gonna help her whether you're coming with me or not. You with me Bria?

Briar: Always.

Jake: Oh, I'm coming with you if only to be disruptive and obnoxious!

Finn: Susan, what can we do?

Susan: I need your hero heart and Bria magic.

Bria: Gonna need to be a bit more specific on what kinda Magic.

Susan: [Points to fire boiling the water] Magic of red flower.

Briar: Ah so Phoenix powers, gotcha.

[Briar creates mini fire-orbs as Susan leads them down the tunnel to the Hyooman territory; down in the Hyoomen tribe's territory they find Hyoomans watching them from behind rocks and litter.]

Jake: [Scoffs] Fish people.

Briar: [smacking him upside the head] Be nice.

Susan: Long ago, my people live in Beautopia... but driven out by Lub Glubs. We come here. We too scared to fight back. This why we need your hero heart and phenex magic. Hyoomans! [Hyoomans gasp.] I'll be back!

[Susan, Briar, and Finn go on their way.]

Jake: Fish People! I'll be, um, a dolphin! [Turns his head into a dolphin shape; Hyoomen gasp and Jake chuckles and leaves.]

[The Quartet come to the water]

Susan: Come on. We swim there.

Finn: No, you don't understand. I'm not a fish person. I'm human.

Susan: [Thinking he said "hyooman," she laughs] We go.

[Susan tries to put Finn's head underwater by she is stopped by Briar.]

Briar: He doesn't have gills Susan, he can't breathe underwater. I can since I can do it via magic, but is there another way we can get around?

Susan: We take boat.

Briar: That will work.

[On the boat, Briar places a fire-orb on a pole and Jake sings "I'm On a Boat."]

Jake: So where we headed, Susan?

Susan: There. [Points to a raging whirlpool]

Briar: Oh this should be fun. I'm in!

Jake: Bria no!

Briar: BRIA YES!

[Briar hops into the water and uses her legs to make the boat go down the whirlpool. They go down the whirlpool, and Finn and Jake scream while Briar laughs; they pop out safely out of a pipe.]

Briar: Oh man! That was incredible! The adrenaline!

Finn: [Laughs] That was awesome. See, Jake? We can trust Susan. She's on the trolley.

[Jake just morphs his head into a fish person's, points to Susan, and makes a "screwball" sign with his arm.]

Susan: Keeps looking for Lub Glubs.

[A pool floaty floats ahead.]

Susan: [Whispering] No move!

[The floaty floats by.]

Susan: Whew, we safe now. [Leaves to steer the boat; Jake looks at Finn.]

Finn: [Irritated] What?

Jake: Dude, she's crazy.

Finn: She's not crazy! Bria's crazy!

Briar: I sure am! Proud of it too!

Finn: Susan's cool.

Jake: Whatever, man. This is a crazy cruise, and Susan is our crazy captain... and I'm a crazy clam-shell! Woo-ep! [Morphs his head into a clam and starts dancing] Oh, doing the clam!

Finn: [Laughs] Quit acting like a clam, you ham.

[Susan looks ahead worriedly while Jake dances and opens his clam head to reveal a Birth of Venus-type statuette with his face that dances, a slamming sound can be heard.]

Jake: Hey, you hearing that too?

Susan: Getting close to the Lub Glubs' mash-'em-ups.

Briar: Well that sounds lovely.

Jake: [Closes clam head] Huh?

Susan: Behold!

[They float up to a series of giant stones coming out of the walls slamming together.]

Finn: Balzacs! 

Susan: The clashing gates!

[Jake's head returns to normal with a look of fear on his face and he looks at Finn and Briar.]

Briar: Stand back ladies, I got this.

[Briar then jumps towards the gates. They close on her the second she gets in them.]

Susan: She dead.

Finn: No she's not. No way that can kill her.

Susan: But she was crushed.

Jake: [sighs] Just wait and watch.

[Suddenly the gates, explode and Briar appears from the wreckage and lands on the boat.

Susan: Wow, you strong.

Briar: Of course I am, I'm Papa's Little Girl. I gotta be strong.

Finn: Alright, Susan, what do we do next?

Susan: Hmm... never made this far before. Just gotta get past Lub Glubs.

Finn: Yeah, what are Lub Glubs, exactly?

Susan: They... umm, look, they like this. [Draws an obscure picture with her finger on the boat wood]

Finn: Hmm.

Briar: Looks familiar...

Jake: That looks like... my father. ...Now I'm crazy!

Susan: Yes. Lub Glubs crazy scary. Hyoomans scared so long. Even Susan. That why glad I meet you. You have brave heart. [Places her hand on Finn's chest and crushes it in her grip.]

Finn: [Weakly] Thank... you...

Briar: Finny! Are you okay?

[Briar then heals Finn's chest.]

Finn: All good now! Thanks Bria.

Briar: Of course.

[Susan grabs Jake and squeezes him into an oar and paddles further into the cavern, with Jake gasping for air every paddle.]

Susan: [Stops paddling] [Excited] We here? We at B-Beautopia! [Susan grabs Finn]

Jake: Oh, thank Glob.

[They float close to a dome shaped city as Jake returns to his normal form and Susan puts down both Finn and Jake.]

Finn: Whoa... Ominous.

Briar: Very ominous.

Susan: We's be alls good once bring red flower to city heart.

[They float close to the city heart, when out of a store called "FLOATY" a gush of water comes out.]

Jake: What's making all that swishing?

Susan: Lub Glubs! They coming!

[After a moment of tense drama, a pool floaty floats out.]

Jake: [Laughs] It's just more pool floaties!

Briar: NO they aren't... I'm sensing dark energy here.

Susan: [Panicking] Shh! Shh! Too many Lub Glubs to fight!

[Many pool floaties surround them, Susan begins to hyperventilate and backs away.]

Jake: Susan! Susan, Lub glubs are just pool toys! [Turns his hand into a pickaxe] Watch, I'm putting an end to all this craziness, with my Pickaxe Hand! [Jake stretches over to a "Lub Glub" with Susan making warning sounds] No more craziness.

[Jake pokes the floaty a black monster oozes out of it, and so do all the other "floaties"]

Jake: Ooooh... Jakey beefed it!

[A Lub Glub tries to attack the trio; Susan cowers in fear but Briar pulls out her twin pistols and shoots one.]

Finn: Woah where did you  get those?

Briar: It's a secret. Now who wants some quality time with mommy?

Jake: But Briar there's [Looks at his hand and holds out all his fingers] this many of them!

Briar: Tis a fair fight. Now watch me work. You focus on getting us to the lantern, I'll hold them off. Can you do that for me Susan?

[Briar then jumps at a group of Lub Glubs and begins to fire rapidly hitting each one in the head]

Briar: DIE! DIE! DIE! YOUR BLOOD WILL FEED ME FOR EONS!

Susan: [Whimpers] Susan scared... but Susan brave, too.

[Susan then grabs one of Briar's orbs and charges forward and tackles tackles a group of Lub Glubs]

Susan: SUUSSSAAANN!!!!!

[Susan makes a break with the orb but is pounced on by Lub Glubs.]

Susan: [Tosses the orb] Finn! Jake! Briar!

Jake: [Catches it] I gots it!

Susan: Red flower! Throw it to city heart!

Jake: Finn, win aide to fair Susan! Jake brings the fire!

[Jake goes as Finn kicks a Glub Glub off Susan and Briar shoots one off.]

Finn: Humans and "Hyoomans" got to stick together!

Briar: What about Human-looking?

Finn: Them too.

[Finn, Briar, and Susan bump fists, and Susan grabs Finn's arms.]

Finn: Huh?

[Susan swings him at a Lub Glub.]

Briar: Oh yeah, that is such a fun move to do with him.

[Jake stretches up the tower to the city heart; a giant Lub Glub comes out of the water and rise up the tower on the opposite side of Jake.]

Jake: [Grunting] Almost... there... [At the top there is a furnace with straw that says "Light Fire Here."] Oh, so I just toss it in here? Pretty straightforward. Okay, well, here I go. [Swinging the lantern] one, two, three... [The giant Lub Glub grabs his arm and roars] [In a trance] That reminds me of... my mother. [Jake struggles against the Lub Glub]

Briar: You let him go!

[Briar then appears and cut's off the Lub Glub's arm.]

Briar: NOW JAKE! TOSS IT IN!

[Jake tosses the orb into the furnace. All of Beautopia becomes lit with flames popping out of torches and pipes; the Lub Glubs evaporate leaving behind nothing but torn rubber floaties.]

Finn: It's working, Susan! [Jake comes down.] Jake.

Jake: Whoa. It is beautiful.

Briar: Of course it is, it's my fire. And since it's Phoenix fire, it should last for thousands of years.

[Later, the Hyoomen tribe arrive and sort through things with Jake's help and Briar's help.]

Finn: You were right, Susan. This place is great. Well, we'd better get home.

Susan: Finn, you stay.

Finn: No, I can't. I'm not like you.

[Susan takes Finn's hand and puts it in her hat, a look of shock envelops Finn's face. Briar notices this and smiles]

Briar: [thinking] He found another Human, good for him. But I still can't shake the feeling that she's more then a normal human... she gives off a real... metallic kinda aura. Maybe Papa knows something.

Jake: [On the boat with pretzels] C'mon, Finn, Bria, let's go! I grabbed, like, 100 soft pretzels!

Briar: Aww heck yeah! Pretzels!

[Finn and Briar hop on and Jake paddles them back, Finn, Briar, and Susan wave at each other, and the episode ends.]
