3.0

Princess Bubblegum needs a hammer for one of her experiments. Peppermint Butler promptly tries to find the whereabouts of P.B.'s hammer. Turns out she lent hers to Finn and Jake, who'd misplaced their blood sword and needed a weapon to go on a quest to retrieve it.

But... where are Finn and Jake?!



Without them, The Land of Ooo is in chaos.



Heroes are needed to keep the peace and order of Ooo.
So it's up to Peppermint Butler to come up with new heroes to defend the Kingdom.

First up, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Tree Trunks.



Who, despite their differences, manage to solve the problems with which they are faced. Too bad they decide this hero business is not their thing...

Next up, The Earl of Lemongrab and Lumpy Space Princess.




...who turn out not to be the best "heroes" for the job.

So, on to Ice King and Susan Strong!



Who do manage to solve their mission, but Susan can't work with someone who refuses to acknowledge his deep psychological problems...

So Peppermint Butler takes matters into his own hands. Remembering Marceline's suggestion, Peppermint Butler goes to the Land of the Dead, to visit his old pal Death and see if Finn and Jake are, indeed, dead.



Of course, this wouldn't be Adventure Time if they didn't have to face a perilous challenge...


With the help of Cinnamon Bun, Peppermint Butler assembles several other "heroes", some of them playing unlikely roles on the team...



They try to save Finn and Jake.
But are Finn and Jake really in need of saving?
