Gumball and Marshall scoured the area all night into the next day. Neither slept. They were tired, but too stubborn to stop their search.

Fiona and Cake walked with them into the woods.

It was quiet, too quiet.

Marshall and Cake stopped dead in their tracks, sniffing the air.

"You smell that too fang boy?" Cake asked looking at him.

He nodded growing anxious.

"Smell what?" Gumball and Fiona pondered.

Marshall's eyes shone a deep red hue as his fangs sharpened.

"Blood" he rushed towards the scent.

They followed it to a small grotto filled will deadly roses. In the middle of it all Nikki stood.

Thorny vines clenched around her body. She was hung like a sacrifice. Blood trickled down from various wounds. Her head hung down limply, unconscious.

The vines thrashed about, flicking the fresh blood at the party.

Fiona grabbed her sword and slung it towards the vines holding the princess off the ground.

Marshall quickly caught her and carefully pried the vines off of her tender skin.

The roses were angered and lashed out at them.

A blast of ice coated the dreaded plants as Ice Queen drifted downwards to the ground.

"Simone, thank glob you showed up when you did" Marshall casually called to the Queen.

Fiona took stance in front of Gumball.

"Relax I'm not here for him"

"What's your aim then?" She glared.

"The girl, she seems so.....familiar to me"

Ice Queen helped the group back to the castle and waited for the princess to awaken.
