Chapter Text
"But what if he doesn't?" Marah asked with a whine, "I don't want to be related to a gross bug, Kapri!" A sentiment Kapri seemed to share, "Then we just need to find someone... more... tolerable for Uncle to show an interest in."
As the sisters head off deeper into the ship to their quarters, "I mean... there's has to be somebody on Earth that Uncle would find more attractive and we could tolerate calling family... right?"
she asked with the sisters putting their heads together to think, "Yeah, plus finding Uncle a new girl couldn't be any harder than us finding boyfriends!" Marah chirped out, "Then we'd show him we do too have a dating life."
she added, with that huff being the last thing heard in that section of the ship as it was drowned out by sounds of another sort
"YES THAT'S IT PIG BITCH! WATCH AS YOUR MASTER FILLS MY HOLES WITH THE co*ck YOU WANT EHEHAHAHHA!"
(Several days later Kaznia)
In the ruins of a destroyed town in the kingdom of Kaznia, a live fire demonstration was happening as the leader of the soldiers of the northern tribes Nardoc watched the demonstration with awe, as his men were virtually powerless against the large behemoth of armor before them, "Impressive, is it not?" Asked the blonde man in the business suit standing next to him with a smirk, "Indeed Mr. Sera."
he agreed, nodding his head in awe at the behemoth, the Annihilator, as Mr. Sera stepped forward coming to a stop before them after the demonstration was finished he circled it in awe, "I knew about advances in unmanned weaponry, but this is incredible."
He said shaking his head before looking over to his benefactor, "Who built it?" He asked with his curiosity leaking through though at that question Mr. Sera simply smirked and stated, "Ever heard the expression, don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"
At that Nardoc nodded in understanding, "Ah classified then." He said in understanding while Mr Sera explained he had already taken the liberty of imprinting it to his voice commands before asking if he was interested, "Of course, anything to protect us from those dogs in the south."
He said with a scowl clenching his fists, "My people called this land home far before that spoiled brat Queen's ancestors showed up as thieves and conquerors." he said, spitting on the ground with a dark scowl before sending Mr. Sera a worried look, "But Mr. Sera, while this weapon would be a great boon, you realize I...my people we have little to pay for it?"
He asked with a worried frown but the man simply smirked as he strode forward and placed his hand on Nardoc shoulder with a smirk, "We can worry about that later~" The business suited man said with a smirk causing Nardoc to look at him in disbelief, "you're joking right?"
He asked with a Sera simply shaking his head, "Far from it~" He said with a chuckle, "After all I trust you and it's not like you're going anywhere are you?" he asked with amused arched brow as Nardoc found himself chuckling in turn, "With help of this machine and our other benefactors, no we are certainly staying right here."
He said proudly though at that sentence Mr. Sera actually looked surprised, "Other benefactors?" He repeated with a curious looking gleam in his eyes
"Oh yes," Nardoc said, "We have seen mercenaries from all over the world join us, either for money or because they believe in our cause, but recently we have received aid from a far more powerful source. Come, I will introduce you."
Genuinely curious, Mr. Sera followed Nardoc into a nearby tent, and came up short as he saw the figure seated at a table. A figure he recognized from news coverage of a recent attack on Gotham City and Bludhaven.
"I must say, Mr. Nardoc, your people's cuisine is delicious," Lothor said, dining on a local poultry dish.
"Thank you, Master Lothor. It is one of our cultural aspects that we've at least managed to preserve against those savages in the south," Nardoc growled, before composing himself, "But please, allow me to introduce Mr. Sera, another benefactor of our fight for liberty."
Lothor looked to Sera with a knowing look that the supposed businessman didn't care for. However, he didn't allow his stoicism to crack for even a moment.
"A pleasure, I'm sure," he said, "Tell me, are you not one of the new aliens that the Justice League recently posted warnings about?"
"Strictly speaking, I was born on Earth, I just found my fortunes elsewhere," Lothor replied, "But yes, that's me."
"I see," Sera said, taking a mental note of that tidbit, "Then may I ask, what is your reason for being here?"
"Well, I'm trying to establish a certain street cred on this planet, so to speak, and helping topple a country's government seems like a good place to start," Lothor explained, "And since I'm helping a repressed people fight for independence, they can't even say that I'm the bad guy!"
"Indeed. So, I take it you'll be leading your forces alongside those of the tribes?" Sera asked.
"Not me personally, no, I have other prospects to attend to elsewhere. But I will be leaving a lieutenant here to act in my stead," Lothor said, snapping his fingers. In response, a figure stepped out of the shadows at the back of the tent. Sera arched an eyebrow - the person, for lack of a better word, looked like a blue mantis in samurai armor, wielding a giant scythe.
"This is Blue Face, one of my most loyal and efficient warriors," Lothor stated, "He'll be leading the soldiers I'm loaning to the tribes, and is authorized to act in my name here."
"I am honored to serve you, Master Lothor," Blue Face stated with a bow.
"And I will bring victory and glory to this army in your name!" He said, standing back up looking over to Nardoc and Sera, "The Kelzaks training with the soldiers goes well, and already reports of us gaining ground against the Queen's forces are coming in."
He stated proudly as Nardoc smiled at the news while Sera merely arched a brow, "In fact, I personally appeared on the battlefield myself just earlier this morning and sent a squadron of the queens so called soldiers fleeing for their lives~"
"Excellent!" Nardoc smiled, "With your forces, the mercenaries, and now Mr. Sera's weapon all added to our armies, we will be marching through the streets of the capital by the end of the month! Then the royal government will have no choice but to concede to our freedom!"
"Yes indeed. Oh, and speaking of which, I've been wondering if I can meet these mercenaries. I'd like to know exactly who I'm working with," Lothor said.
"Of course. As luck would have it, several are already here today, I'll go fetch them immediately," Nardoc said, excusing himself and exiting the tent. Watching him go, Lothor then turned to Sera, the latter arching a brow at the challenging look in the ninja's eyes.
"Blue Face, go wait outside," he calmly commanded.
"Yes master," Blue Face said with a bow, quickly exiting the tent as well.
"Something you wish to discuss in private?" Sera asked.
"Oh no, I just wanted to give you some friendly advice," Lothor replied, finishing his meal, "As far as aliases go, spelling your name backwards is rather lazy. Or are you Olympians simply so ancient that that trick seems new by comparison?"
At that, silence stood for several moments with the expression of Sera or rather Ares the God of War going flat, "Honestly..." He gave a small smirk, "you'd be surprised how often the simplest and laziest cover works~"
He said with a snort, "I actually got this particular idea from a certain vampire who sometimes uses the identity of Alucard and amazingly like with this no one usually puts two and two together."
He told the man with a smirk, "But then again, what can you expect from mortal intelligence?" He said a tad mockingly, arching a brow, "I suppose now this is the part where you either threaten me despite the power gulf between us, or try to manipulate me to fuel your own agenda."
"Hardly, I'm not an idiot," Lothor replied with a snort, "I just didn't feel like beating around the bush. Besides, there's no reason for us to be enemies, as our goals don't appear mutually exclusive. From what I've studied about you, you're not invested in any one side of a conflict, so I don't see why you'd be offended by my actions here. And as long as that Annihilator of yours doesn't go after my troops, it's no problem for me."
"Hmm, true," Ares said, rubbing his chin in thought, "But if altogether we provide the north enough firepower and manpower to win the war easily, I feel like that's counterproductive for me."
"Oh, it won't be ending anytime soon," Lothor said, "If you've heard of me, then you've no doubt heard of my counterpart the Skeleton King? He and I have made this war part of our competition - even as we speak, his forces are infiltrating the royal government. They'll make sure that the Queen doesn't capitulate even if she wants too, which will make things drag on. Also, my presence here is bound to attract the League's attention sooner or later, perhaps even including a certain Amazon."
"Oh, now that would be interesting, wouldn't it?" Ares said with a smirk, "I must say, Mister Lothor, I like the cut of your gib. I think we might be friends after all."
"Glad to hear it," Lothor replied, turning his attention back to the tent's entrance as Nardoc returned.
"Ah it seems that you two are getting along," He said, walking into the tent with a smile, "Indeed," Ares said with an even nod to the man, "I believe Mr. Lothor and I... can work to a mutual beneficial agreement in our efforts to aid your people."
He told the poor pitiful pawn who smiled, "I am glad to hear so," He said, before half turning as more figures entered the tent, "But allow me to introduce you to some of the best among the mercenaries who have come to aid our people."
"What's happening you all!?" Shouted out a muscular dark skinned man wearing a, to call it nicely, eye-catching gold and purple outfit with a pair of green visors over his eyes and a samurai sword strapped to his side, "Da Samurai is in the house!"
He pointed at Lothor, "That's Sam-Moo-Rhai now the hottest and most slicing samurai around~" He told him as he gave a little twirl and pose while Ares actually found himself nonplussed while sending Nardoc a look that screamed seriously.
Because this man... this man probably had to be the biggest arrogant idiot he'd ever seen since Hercules... and believe me that was saying something. Nardoc to his credit did look a tad embarrassed as he coughed into his fist looking away and was about to speak up before Da Samurai cut him off, "And who do my eyes see before me?"
Da Samuraii swaggered arrogantly up to Lothor with a large smirk, "Why it'd be a ninja, a space ninja at that~" He said leaning it co*ckily, "I heard you got some moves even gave that fine piece of Bat-Ass up in Gotham a run for her money~"
he told the man smirking wide, "But tell me ninja boy, you think you got the skills to play with the real big boys~"
"Boy, I could break you in half with one hand behind my back," Lothor said dryly, "Fortunately for you, I'm a professional, and not going to waste my time when you're working for a mutual ally."
"Tough talk, space dude, think you can back it up?" Da Samurai scoffed.
"That's enough," Nardoc cut off, "Like Lothor said, we're all on the same side here, so no in-fighting."
"Whatever," Da Samurai huffed and walked aside to stand by the side of the tent. Nardoc sighed, then turned back to Lothor and Ares with a forced smile.
"Apologies for that. Anyway, next is... well, he just calls himself Combustion Man."
Lothor raised an eyebrow at that as a large muscular man walked in, head shaved bald and with a third eye tattooed on his forehead, walked into the tent. Well, that was interesting - did that mean that Avatar characters existed in this reality too? If that were true... well, his mind quickly went to a certain fire princess.
Now there was a piece of ass he wouldn't mind getting his hands on. And maybe unlike Gaz, she'd actually prove a challenge to break~
Combustion Man simply grunted crossing his arms, "You'll have to forgive the big guy." A dry voice said coming from a man in a red armored jumpsuit, his head completely covered in a helmet with its right eye being a large targeting scope, "He's not much of a talker, but believe me he leaves one hell of a explosive impression."
The man said with amusem*nt in his voice, "This is Deadshot," Nardoc introduced, gesturing to the man, "perhaps the finest marksman in the world~" Deadshot let out a chuckle, "Well, I don't mean to brag~"
He started to say before a new young voice spoke up coldly ,"Then don't." And a fourth and final figure walked into the room, casting a narrowed eye gaze on Ares that he returned before looking over at Lothor boredly, "So, you're the latest in the long of line of idiots who want to declare themselves king of the mountain."
The feminine figure said crossing her arms, "I'm not impressed."
Now Lothor was definitely intrigued, as that was a familiar voice. The girl in question was at least 18 (with a damn fine figure to match), taller than the one he was familiar with, wearing jeans and a jacket instead of a pink dress, and her blonde hair was free-flowing (if short) instead of up in horn style. But the shirt under that jacket was pink with a familiar flower printed on it, and the scowling face was unforgettable.
Also, she had a large scythe strapped to her back, which was a pretty big clue.
"And you are...?" he asked, hedging his bets.
"Mandy. You don't need to know my full name," she replied flatly.
Well, that cinched it. Never mind tracking down Azula, here was a real challenge to break in. After all, while Gaz was tough, she was ultimately just a brat with anger issues. Mandy, on the other hand, was a stone cold sociopath who bent gods and demons and Death himself to her will (admittedly, Grim was kind of a wimp as incarnations of Death went, but the point still stood). Now, she was someone he and Tak would have a lot of fun breaking in...
Forcing himself back to the present, Lothor gave Mandy a smirk.
"I assure you, my dear, I'm far more capable than whatever first impression you're getting off of me," he said as suavely as he could, "Perhaps I could change your mind if you allow me to treat you to a lovely candlelit dinner?"
"I'll pass," Mandy replied dryly.
Before focusing her attention toward Ares, "And why am I not surprised you'd show up in a war zone?" She asked dryly while Ares simply spoke back flatly, "Lovely to see you again as always, Mandy."
He said, catching some curious looks, "You know each other?" Nardoc asked with an arched brow but Ares simply shrugged, "We have some mutual acquaintances and run in the same circles now and then."
He told the man evenly, who simply nodded in reply realizing it wasn't best to pry, "But must admit you've indeed assembled a strong force for your people Nardoc."
Ares told the man with a smirk, "And my own gift to you is but the cherry on top, I'm sure~" He added with a chuckle, "Rest assured Mr. Sera, I'm sure your machine will go a long way to contributing to my people's freedom."
Nardoc told him with Ares smirking back, "I'm sure," He said, looking at the four mercenaries, "But I must caution you Nardoc," Ares gave the man a frown as his smile fell at the look on his benefactors face, "you must not get co*cky.."
He warned him crossing his arms behind his back, "While it seems victory is in your grasp, you do not yet know what the Queen has on her side of the field," He said with a frown, "After all you hardly have a monopoly on soldiers of fortune after all."
"Mr. Sera has a point," Lothor added, "I imagine that there are great many who are looking at this conflict and seeing that the Queen has more money to pay for extra help with."
"Not as much as you might think," Deadshot commented, "They just barely recovered from rebuilding the damage caused by Savage's coup when the Thangarians invaded, and then before they could even rebuild from that too, the war started. Queen Audrey's treasury is pretty low at the moment, so she doesn't have enough to pay for too many high-end mercs."
"How do you know that?" Da Samurai asked.
"Obviously, because I offered my services to her first and didn't like the price she offered, so I came here instead," Deadshot replied shamelessly, ignoring Nardoc's dirty look, "Point is, they might have one or two heavy-hitters, but most will be bottom of the barrel wannabes looking for a thrill and a quick paycheck."
"Mr. Deadshot's dubious business practices aside," Nardoc coughed into his fist while wearing a slight scowl, "He is not wrong, the advantage is ours Mr Sera."
"Which means the Queen will be desperate," Mandy cut in while stating bluntly with crossed arms, "Especially with her string of luck lately." She added on with crossed arms, "And one should never underestimate what the foolish and desperate will do to stay alive."
"I agree with Mandy," Lothor stated, "A cornered animal is the most dangerous. We should expect the royals to start lashing out, if not in desperation, then in false hope bolstered by those recent victories."
"Very true," Ares stated, "So, I believe we should start discussing a more coordinated strategy."
"Mr. Sera speaks wisely," Nardoc said with a nod, walking over to the strategy table that was set up in the middle of the tent where a map of Kaznia sat, "Come, I will brief you on how the conflict currently goes."
"We have managed to liberate most of our traditional lands almost to the ancient borders," Nardoc explained, gesturing to the map, "However, the royal army still has numerous bases north of that line, heavily fortified against attack. As long as those remain, they will still be able to support attacks in our territories."
"Then the obvious choice is to start picking them off," Lothor mused, "Taking them all at once would divide our forces a bit too much to be safe, in my opinion, so it's probably best to attack them one by one."
"Heh just send me in and I'll have all those bases dealt with by suppertime~" Da Samurai spoke up with a arrogant smirk that fell at Deadshot speaking up, "You mean you'll be in the castle dungeons by suppertime."
The marksman mercenary said in a deadpan as Samurai scowled at him, "But Lothor's right that taking them all at once would divide us too much." He said crossing his arms as he looked at the table, "Only problem in taking them out one at a time is it give the south more time to come up with a way to retaliate."
He said, rubbing his mask's chin while Combustion Man gave a agreeing grunt beside him, "Then we'll just need to keep them focused on other priorities while we take out the bases." Mandy spoke up bluntly from the side as she glanced over to Sera, "Since... Sera here has apparently given the Northern Tribes his latest toy, why not make good use of it and show it off to the southern troops."
"Agreed," Ares said with a nod, "The Annihilator will not only take the attention of the royal army off of their bases, but decimate their numbers in the process. What they have left afterwards will be too weakened to properly defend the bases from the rest of you."
"In which case, we can have Blue Face and my Kelzaks lead part of the northern troops against this fort, while the rest of you split up the remainder against these two," Lothor suggested, gesturing to each of the forts on the map.
"Sounds like we got a plan." Mandy stated evenly as she looked over toward Lothor with an arched brow, "Just as long Sera's toy and your men can actual do their jobs of course." She told them bluntly, with Ares giving a slight small frown at the jab though Mandy barely gave him a glance as she focused her attention on Lothor.
"My dear, I assure you, even if my soldiers were to lose, they'd still make it a pyrrhic victory at best for the enemy," Lothor replied evenly, "And as it stands, I don't see that happening barring some miraculous outside intervention."
Considering their earlier conversation, Ares knew he was talking about the Justice League, especially Diana. And judging by the look in his eyes, he was testing to see if anyone else in the room would be bright enough to catch onto that on their own.
And to Lothor and Ares' little surprise, Mandy was the one who connected the dots first, "You mean the Justice League." She said stoically with a frown as Deadshot sighed, "They do have a habit of showing up where they aren't wanted and poking their noses where they don't belong."
he said with Combustion Man giving low a growl, "Annoying pests." he said with a deep rumble and narrowed eyes, "Please, Da Samurai ain't afraid of no losers in their underwear!"
Da Samurai scoffed giving his hand a chance, "Though considering the rumors I've heard about the Queen and Wonder Woman, this could be a opportunity..." He gave a pervy grin, "Give me 5 minutes and I'll have those two singing my praises~"
He said smugly, before scowling as Mandy asked bluntly, "Can you even last 5 minutes?" With an arched brow, "You want to repeat that, butch bitch?" Da Samurai asked, shoving his face into Mandy's with her gaze darkening, "Because I..."
Whatever he was going to say was cut off when Mandy in a surprising show of speed grabbed him by the throat and started to squeeze, causing him to give a strangled gasping squeal, "You know..."
She stared hard into his eyes, "I've met my share of annoying idiots, but you," Samurai gasped out as she gave his throat another squeeze, "are reaching a point where you make even Billy seem like a genius."
she told him in a cold tone but before she could do anything Nardoc spoke up, "That's enough!" He said his tone hard with a glare, "Whatever your disagreements, remember that you're all fighting for the same cause and side."
"Tch, whatever," Mandy muttered, tossing Da Samurai aside to slump on the floor, "The point is, the League is likely to interfere if the royal government feels threatened enough. Especially considering the Queen's friendship with Wonder Woman. So, we're probably going to have superheroes breathing down our necks by the time we're done taking the forts."
"Personally, that's a challenge I'd welcome," Lothor said with a smirk, "I've only had a taste of some lower-tiered heroes, I look forward to seeing what the big names can do against my forces."
"Don't get co*cky. Trust me, I've seen that bring down some of the best," Deadshot commented.
"It's not co*ckiness if he can back it up. And I share the same feelings regarding my Annihilator," Ares mused with a smirk of his own, "I for one love the idea of Wonder Woman taking it on."
"I bet," Mandy said dryly. But then gave a slight scoff as she turned about face, "But if we're done yapping, I'd like to get to work," she said over her shoulder making to move out of the tent, "The sooner we finish this little civil war, the sooner I get what I want."
Causing Nardoc to slightly scowl while Lothor shot Mandy a curious look as Deadshot gave a shrug, "Eh, she's not wrong." he remarked ideally, "I just hope you can cough up the green for our services after we bring down a monarchy," The mercenary told Nardoc boredly, "After all, I've put off some very lucrative contracts and hits to be here for your people in your time of need~"
"You needn't worry, once we've won the war, our peace terms will include financial compensation for all that the southerners have taken from us," Nardoc stated, "That will provide us with more than significant funds to cover all your costs."
"Good," Deadshot said with a nod, "Now, anything else, or can I get back to maintenance on my weapons?"
"I think everything's been covered that needs to be," Nardoc said, "Master Lothor, anything else you'd like to add?"
"Hmm?" Lothor looked away from where he'd been watching Mandy leave (admittedly staring at her ass the whole time), "Oh, no, I think we've got a handle on things. If there's any changes to strategy while I'm not here, simply run them by Blue Face, he's authorized to act as he sees fit while in the field."
"Excellent," Nardoc said, before taking his leave, the mercenaries following after him and soon leaving Lothor and Ares alone.
"I don't suppose you know what Mandy's really here for?" Lothor asked the disguised god, "Because that wording didn't sound like she was after money."
"Power..." Ares stated bluntly to the man in control with a frown, "While Mandy has proven to be a particularly dangerous brand of mortal even as a child..."
He glanced off to the tent's exit, "And she rarely shares her plans with others, her motivations will always boil down to power and control," he said before adding with a snort, "A trait shared by all..." He admitted before sending Lothor a smirk, "only difference is Mandy's usually quite good at achieving those desires."
"Hmm, so the only question is, what does she have to gain from aiding these rebels," Lothor pondered, before shrugging, "Ah well, for now it's no concern of mine, though I imagine I'll be keeping a close eye on her just in case."
"A wise decision," Ares said, "In any case, I imagine you'll be taking your leave now?"
"Yes, I've done all I've needed to do for my interests here," Lothor stood up, "Enjoy your war, Lord Ares."
"Thank you. And good luck to you in your competition, Master Lothor," Ares replied, "I look forward to seeing what chaos you and your rival bring to the board."
With nods of mutual respect, the two parted ways.
(Southern Kaznia)
While the forces of the Northern Kaznia tribes prepared, on the southern side of the border inside the new royal palace that was built after the destruction of the former one, a royal audience was happening.
"I thank you two for answering the call to my people," Said the young form of Queen Audrey wearing a crown, "Think nothing of it señorita," Spoke up the massive muscular form of Bane, standing in front of the royal throne with a smirk, "Bane is always willing to lean a hand in to such a lovely lady in breaking the backs of her enemies~"
Said the smirking black/white masked luchadore while the men besides him wearing a pink Chinese men's long coat simply scoffed, "Speak for yourself, Bane," Said none other than Mercenary Tao with a flat look, "I'm always willing to kill..."
He said looking stoically up toward the Queen, "So long as my clients can pay my fee, of course~"
"You need not concern yourself with that, Master Tao," Audrey replied, "While our royal finances have had some setbacks in recent years, we still have more than sufficient funds to pay your costs."
"I'm glad to hear that," Tao said, "In which case, you have nothing to worry about. I'll have these savages in the north dealt with in no time."
"Hmm, and what about the mercenaries they are said to have recruited as well?" Audrey asked, "They are all said to be highly skilled as well."
"Not as much as me," Tao sneered.
"While I consider myself humbler than Tao, I agree with him in principal," Bane stated, "Bane shall crush all your enemies for you, Your Majesty."
"I am glad to hear this," Audrey said with a dark smirk and look in her eyes, "For these traitors have dared betray Kaznia's people while attempting to steal our land from us!" she said with a cold tone of hate, "As such, I want no mercy shown!"
She told them banging her fist on her arm rest, "I want every last one of these savage dogs put down to the very last woman and child!" she said, her eyes glaring down at them, "I refuse to let such filth and treachery pollute my kingdom and endanger my people."
Bane and Tao arched eyebrows at the vicious attitude being expressed by the former party girl turned Queen, but shrugged it off. They'd heard the rumors of the things she'd had done to Vandal Savage after his imprisonment, which he'd only survived due to his immortality, so dealing with such treachery again probably would set her off like this.
Besides, it wasn't like they cared, so long as they got paid.
"As you desire, Your Majesty," Tao said with a bow.
"With your leave, we'll depart to the field at once," Bane added.
"Good, go," Audrey waved dismissively, before adding as an afterthought, "Oh, and if you encounter a group of youths calling themselves 'Freedom Fighters', ignore them. They're technically on our side, though they're more of an annoyance than anything."
"Ah, one of those groups then," Tao said with a look of realization, "No worries, we'll leave them be," he said uncaringly over his shoulder, "my experience with those types has shown me they can be surprisingly useful sometime."
he said with a slight smirk, leaving out said usefulness amounted to basically being either easy money to kill or as cannon fodder to distract larger targets before he made his move, "Ninos should know better to play at war... it's a man's game, after all~"
Bane said with his own smirk and shake of his head as they exited the throne room as a servant strangely dressed in a purple Greek dress passed them by, approaching the Queen's throne as the doors sealed themselves shut.
With silence standing for several moments before the servant spoke, "So, I take it things are going as you desire, your highness?" The woman spoke in a dry tone, looking toward the throne with an arched brow
"Hmm, yes Megara, I'd say things are going perfectly," Audrey said with a smirk, "Now we can finally stop treating those upstart savages like a meaningful threat and crush them like the pests that they are."
At that the woman Megara arched a brow and said in a dry tone, "While giving your master a foothold on Earth in the process as well," She said, causing silence to stand for several moments before a voice hissed out from behind her, "But of course~"
With Meg actually whirling around in surprise at something getting so close to her without realizing it, and jumped back into a battle stance as she saw none other than Skeleton King smirking at her with staff in hand, "Though don't tell me you have a issue with that?"
He asked her with open amusem*nt, "After all, one of your organization's former leaders Bruno was a collaborator to Darkseid himself~" He said, staring into the eyes of Megara, and it certainly was a surprise to find one of the Disney Princesses right here in Kaznia in the service of the royal family, Meg from Hercules at that.
Though a little digging led to an interesting rabbit hole, and coming away that Meg was here mainly as an agent for the criminal organization Intergang to act in the group's own interests toward the kingdom of Kaznia.
"If I had a problem with it, I'd have already taken my chances and blown the whistle on this scam of yours," Meg said after composing herself, "Though speaking of which, you might want to consider having your copycat up there dial it down a little. Audrey's ruthless when she has to be, but she's never ordered genocide before."
"Heh, precisely," Skeleton King said, hissing out with a large smirk as Megara gave a blink, "After all my dear, who said I didn't want this little scheme discovered~" He told her with a dark grin while his eyes subtle roamed over her body.
A part of him was at first surprised to see her wearing her canon Greek outfit, but that was easily explained as it seems Audrey despite growing up a bit and resolving to be a better Queen after her experience with Savage, was still a bit spoiled and apparently had developed a taste for Greek culture and fashion due to her friendship with Diana.As a result, she'd had many of her servants dress up in ancient Greek styles. Which Skeleton King (or any other man for that matter) wasn't complaining about, considering how well those outfits showed off the women wearing them.
Not noticing the Skeleton King's wandering eye, Megara frowned in thought.
"You went through all the trouble of creating a clone copy of the Queen, but you want it to be found out?" she asked in confusion.
"Confused?" Skeleton King asked with a smirk toward her as she frowned, "I also intentionally let you find out about my presence." He added on as he chuckled at Meg's eyes slightly widening, "Or did you think I was monologuing to myself and the Queen's stunt double ~"
He asked, giving a laugh as Meg scoffed, "Considering what your type usually act like, it wouldn't surprise me," She stated dryly, with Skeleton King actually giving an amused chuckle, "True..."
He stated with a conceded nod toward her, "But no, I became quite aware that a certain staff member wasn't what she seemed ~" He said with a little smirk as Meg looked at him warily, "I found myself intrigued, so I decided to let myself be discovered while you were sneaking around near the Queen's quarters~"
With Meg giving a scowl, not liking being played, but had suspected something was off with how she found out what was going on a bit too easily looking back, "I suppose this is the part where you try to silence me then?"
She asked sending him a glare, however he merely laughed, "Not quite..." He told her with a evil grin, "As long as you keep silent of your own accord, you are free to go about your business, or even leave if you wish."
He explained with a shrug as Megara actually gave him a look of disbelief at that. He'd be willing to just let her walk out despite the risk she was to whatever scheme he had going on here... a scheme where he wasn't worried if his fake was discovered, "However..."
And here comes the catch she thought in a deadpan, "If you're willing to take a little test..." Skeleton King stared into her eyes, "Then I'd like to make you a offer you'll find most enticing should you pass ~"
"What sort of test?" Meg asked, eyes narrowed suspiciously. One didn't survive as long as she had in Intergang without a healthy does of paranoia, after all.
At that question Skeleton King snapped his fingers, and in a instant the so-called Queen leapt out of the throne and with a hand spring and several flips forward landed in front of Meg in a battle stance, "I simply wish to see if you're just a pretty face or..."
He shot her a smirk, "If you've got the skill to back up the ambition I see in those beautiful eyes of yours ~" He explained with a chuckle as Meg, despite looking at "Audrey" warily, gave a blink at the compliment, "So face my Formless here one on one..."
The alien warlord gestured to Audrey, "Win or at least impress me, and I'll tell you my offer~"
Meg arched an eyebrow at that, but after a few moments of thought, nodded in acceptance. Reaching down, she tore off the hem of her dress to give her legs more freedom of movement.
"Okay then, let's do this," she said, taking a stance of her own and facing the clone.
Skeleton King at the sight of her legs gave a subtle smirk, not that Meg realized it as the fake Audrey let out an alien screech, lunging forward as its arm turned black and pale white while shifting into a mace like form, with Meg ducking and dodging some swings before sending a side kick to the copy's side. Only for the Queen to catch it in the grip of her left hand before attempting to swing her right arm mace down at Meg.
Throwing all her weight to the side, Meg not only dodged the attack but fell to the floor, dragging the Formless clone down on top of her due to catching it off guard with the move and not giving it a chance to let go of her. As the fake Audrey fell on top of her, Meg brought her other leg up, bracing both of them against the clone and then kicking out, sending the clone flying away.
Meg quickly jumped back to her feet, grimacing as she watched the Formless do the same in quick, inhuman motions. Screeching again, it charged at Meg, swinging its mace arm at her again. Dodging the blow, Meg caught Audrey's arm and brought her elbow down on hers, forcing it to bend the wrong way and snapping with a sharp CRACK.
Screeching, the clone reeled back, only for Meg to punch it in the face, which deformed into ooze.
"That's disgusting," Meg grumbled, trying to shake her hand free of the goo now on it.
"Heh, but effective ~" Skeleton King said, filled with amusem*nt as Meg shot him a annoyed glare, "But the powers created from the pit of ooze aren't to be underestimated."
He warned her lightly as a loud screech of fury pierce the air.
SCRRREEEEE
While Meg was tackle by the clone despite it's punch in deformed oozing face causing them to roll on the ground till Meg found herself pinned down by this freak with its gruesome face looming over her as it wrapped its hands around her neck, "Glrt!"
With her grabbing its wrists trying to break its grip as its master spoke off to the side, "Hmm, have you lost already?" He asked, his voice actually leaking out disappointment, "And here I thought you had potential."
He shook his head, "I guess I was wrong."
"GRRRR, GET OFF!" Meg yelled, pulling on the clone's arms so hard that, with a sickening spray of ooze, they tore clean off of the clone's shoulders.
With a screech, the Formless stumbled away, while Meg shot up with a gasp, coughing harshly for breath. Glaring at the clone as it flailed about, Meg picked up one of its torn-off arms and wielded it like a club, stalking over to it. As the Formless looked up at her, she screamed wordlessly and brought the arm down on it repeatedly, until the clone's head and torso had been reduced to ooze, which the arm in Meg's hands dissolved into as well afterwards.
"Impressed yet?" Meg snarled at the Skeleton King as she tossed the ooze aside.
"Hhehehhe ~" At that question he actually laughed out madly before sending her a wide amused grin, "Very much so, yes ~" He told her honestly quite impressed (Not to mention amused at the brutality ~) with how she handled that Formless and was rather intrigued at how good of a fighter she really was compared to some of this world's more well know physical combatants.
But that could be addressed later, for now he had a offer to make, "Now for my offer ~" He gave her a dark grin, "Tell me my dear..." He stared into her eyes, "What do you think of rather than serving thugs who are beneath you while getting scraps as your reward..."
He strode forward and with a lift of his staff her form glowed cleaning off the ooze but the tears and rips on her dress remain, "you served by a king's side and had power your current masters could only dream of~"
"Interesting offer. But you're hardly the first alien big shot to come to this planet and think you can just take over, and I'm not interested in selling out to someone who's just gong to lose in the long run," Meg replied, arms crossed over her chest, "Hell, you mentioned Darkseid yourself. You think you can win where he couldn't?"
"Well, I've already got a destroyed planet, a slain dark God, and an imprison team of heroes on my resume ~" He told her with a dark smirk, "And unlike those fools I'm playing the long game, while actually acknowledging that defeat while improbable is not impossible."
He told her with a widening smirk, "For example, on the surface this civil war will be used as a failed attempt to gain a foothold on this planet," he told her with a dark grin, "The heroes will eventually arrive after they learn Lothor has allied himself with the northern tribes.."
This comment caused Meg's eyes to slightly widen, "Where they will go on to discover my own forces have infiltrated the royal government forces," he gestured right to the ooze remains of the fake Audrey, "All the way up to the Queen herself..."
He let out a dark chuckle, "Of course, they'll ride in to save the day, destroy my Formless and rescue the real Queen," he stared into her eyes, "then once the day is saved, they'll go home pleased they saved Kaznia from my grip..."
He smirked, "Not knowing that they've done exactly as I expected and I now rule as the true power behind the throne."
"Wait, the real Audrey's working with you?" Meg exclaimed, eyes widening in shock, "I mean, I knew she could be petty and ruthless if someone gets on her bad side, but what the hell did you offer her?"
Skeleton to simply laughed, "Hehe, you'll find if necessary I can easily bend the weak to my will..." He said with a dark smile toward Meg, who unconsciously took a step back, "But I haven't done that just yet..."
.
He said, raising his hand..."Rather, I've only offered her..." He snapped his finders as a bound tied form appeared at their feet, "Pleasure ~"
He hissed out the last word as Meg's eyes widen in shock at the sight of the real Queen Audrey... the very naked... very bondage bound... Queen Audrey.
"Mmmm," Audrey moaned into the ball gag stuffed into her mouth, arms held behind her in arm binders that were connected by chain to the shackles likewise keeping her legs tied together behind her. The Queen's eyes were wide and unfocused, and her puss* was extremely wet with unreleased pleasure.
"What did you do to her?" Meg asked, not horrified and mostly just trying not to think about how hot this sight before her was.
"Oh nothing much..." Skeleton King said with a smirk to Meg, "I haven't f*cked her... at least not yet." He explained, looking down toward Audrey as he pointed the ending tip of his staff toward the Queen, "I've just been playing with and sexually torturing her body for the past several days ever since my Formless took her place."
He let out a chuckle his staff tip rubbing lightly against Audrey's puss*, "All while not letting her experience release, only keeping her on a constant edge as her body is tormented with constant pain... while her mind..."
He let out a dark laugh, giving Meg a cruel grin, "Well, let's say I've been using my power to fill her mind with some very interesting fantasies and wet dreams~"
(In Audrey's mind)
"Ooh, Diana~" Audrey moaned. She and Wonder Woman were locked in an embrace, their nude bodies entwined and rubbing against each other as they passionately kissed.
"Mmm, you want this, don't you?" Diana breathed into Audrey's ear after trailing kisses up her neck from her shoulders.
"Yes, ever since we met," Audrey said, reaching to grasp Diana's firm, muscular ass.
"Then just give into the master's power," Diana said as she squeezed one of Audrey's breasts before leaning down to lightly bite the nipple of the other.
"M-master?" Audrey stuttered around a gasp of arousal, having difficulty thinking.
"Yes, the rightful master of us and all things," Diana said, looking up at where the Skeleton King was seated on his throne, looming above the pair and watching them f*ck each other.
"He'll have me soon enough," Diana explained, "And when he does, then all you have to do is give into him, and then we can be together under him forever. Don't you want that?"
"I... AH!" Audrey let out a gasping moan as Diana suddenly bit down hard on her nipple, "YES!" She moaned out loudly with desire, "More than... AH... anything... my... warrior... princess ~" she told the woman that had saved her kingdom and stolen her heart as Diana kissed up from her breasts to her neck, "Then go to him..."
Diana whispered huskily into her ear as they pressed their bodies against each other, "Go to our master and show him how much you desire to be his~"
"Yes... I will," Audrey said, reluctantly detaching from Diana to begin crawling towards Skeleton King on her hands and knees.
"Please, master, take me," she begged up at him, "I'll do whatever you ask of me. Just please, take me so that I can be with Diana forever."
Skeleton King smiled evilly at her, "Would you debase yourself to the lowest depravity at my whim?" he leaned forward, "Would you offer your body to me in front of your entire Kingdom?"
He let out a dark cruel, "Would you start a war in my name or even order all your people executed if you thought it would make me happy?"
"I, I," Audrey stammered, picturing everything he described and momentarily feeling shame at the idea, but then her lust won out over it.
"Yes, master!" she cried out, "Make me your whor*! f*ck me in front of all my subjects! Kill them all if it pleases you! Just take me!"
"Hehehehehe ~" her master gave a cold laugh as he stood from the throne walking toward her, "Such a pathetic excuse for royalty ~" He said with a dark smirk, "you are far more suited to being a bed warmer than a ruler ~"
He said emphasizing the statement by spitting down at her right in her face, "But your lord hears your pleas so he shall grant your desires!" He exclaimed as he threw his staff to the side before pouncing upon her body
Audrey cried out in surprise but also pleasure as Skeleton King pinned her to the ground, mounting her and holding her by the hips to keep her in place.
"Ooh, yes master!" Audrey purred, "Please, take me like the lowly bitch I am!"
SMACK!
Skeleton King responded to her plea by hitting her tit* watching them bounce as she cried out with dark glee, "Oh, it would be my pleasure your highness ~"
He hissed out wasting no time in fishing out his co*ck and thrusting inside her folds though as this was happening their surroundings alternated and transform into what appeared to be the destroyed Kaznia with all its people chained while Formless stood guard over them, watching with mixture of broken and dark emotions as their queen surrendered her body to this monster just like she had done to their people
PLAP, PLAP, PLAP, PLAP, PLAP, "Argh, so tight, I guess Savage had a pencil dick ~" Skeleton King laughed with dark glee as he pounded away at her folds, "But now you're my whor* and all your people get to see you for the slu*t you really are!"
"YES! I'M YOUR slu*t!" Audrey screamed, shocked at how much she was enjoying not just his co*ck in her, but also how the looks of her subjects made her feel. There was shame yes, but that shame made her all the hornier.
"BREED ME LIKE THE whor* I AM!" she continued, "LET ME CARRY YOUR BASTARDS!"
Her master laughed with dark glee as he pounded her all the harder into the ground, "Ohhh, what would your father say if he saw the kinda queen his spoiled brat of a daughter had become~
He hissed out, staring down at her with a dark gaze that made her shiver but as she moaned at his words the voice of her love Diana spoke up before she could say anything, "Why not ask him yourself master~"
Said the naked form of Wonder Woman wearing a dark grin hold a sword in her right hand and in the left... was the form of King Gustav, Audrey's father battered and bruised and being dragged by his royal garb, "Audrey?!" He gasped out as Diana threw him to the ground
"F-father?!" Audrey cried out, too disoriented by being f*cked to know how to respond. Which was also why, along with the dream logic of this illusion, it wasn't registering with her that her father had been paralyzed for years ever since Savage had poisoned him, and therefore shouldn't even be able to talk, much less be looking at her in such shock.
"What is this? What are you doing?" Gustav exclaimed, looking on in horror as the Skeleton King continued to f*ck her without even the slightest pause.
"I, I," Audrey stammered, unable to think of anything to justify this to her father.
"She's spreading her legs for her new master~" Skeleton King told Gustav with a dark smirk, "just like she spread her legs for the man who poisoned you~" He added, giving her breasts another hard hit.
SMACK "I'm going to kill and torture all your people and your daughter will sing my praises as she bounces gleefully on my co*ck!" He howled out, pumping in and out all the harder.
"You're lying! She wouldn't do that!" Gustav exclaimed, "Audrey, tell me he's lying!"
"I... father... it feels so good~" Audrey tried to defend herself, but could only moan in pleasure.
"NO! You're better than this!" Gustav protested, "You were always a wild child, always wasting your time on partying instead of being a faithful heir, but you were never some lowly whor*!"
Despite the intense ecstasy from the ongoing rough pounding of her puss*, Audrey frowned. Not in the shame that her father was clearly trying to invoke, but in annoyance. No matter the situation, he was still scolding her like she was still a party girl who couldn't take things seriously? She'd been running their kingdom on her own while he'd been barely more than a vegetable, and he still acted like she was a foolish child. That f*cking asshole!
"Hmm, it sounds like your father doesn't appreciate you, my dear~" Skeleton King hissed out, licking up the side of her neck while picking her up from the ground with Audrey by instinct wrapping her arms and legs around him as her lord continued to f*ck her standing up, as he helped her up by her ass which he gave a strong squeeze, "After all, it was him who opened the door to that brute Savage, did he not~"
Skeleton King hissed out, staring into her eyes as he f*cked her and she bounced eagerly in turn off his co*ck, "While you were the one that made that brute regret ever trying to take what wasn't his."
He let out a dark laugh, "For you and your kingdom deserve a true master," He hissed out, licking his lips, "A master that can give you pleasure he never could..." He leaned forward, "A master who will give you the love your father never did~"
And at those words he locked lips with Audrey, kissing her hard
As Audrey instinctively returned the kiss, she realized something. That while she might love Diana, her master was able to provide her true joy in a way that her beloved warrior princess couldn't. The feeling of his co*ck pumping in and out of her, while his tongue forced its way into her mouth, was like nothing she'd ever felt before, and she wanted as much of it as she could get.
So, when the kiss finally broke, she turned to face her father with a scowl.
"f*ck you, you worthless old bastard," she spat, "I don't need you, and I don't care what you think!"
Her father was stunned at first before his face turned red as he roared out, "AUDREY YOU WORTHLESS UNGRATEFUL..." Only to find his tirade cut off as he was kicked down to the ground by Diana who had remained silent over him, "SILENCE SCUM!"
She spat at him before looking up toward Audrey, "Say the word my Queen and I will take this man's head," she said, gripping her blade over Gustav, "All I ask in return is the honor of eating out our lord's seed from your royal c*nt."
She said with open lust and desire as their master laughed while pounding Audrey all the harder.
The idea of that request was hot enough that Audrey finally came, her puss* tightening around Skeleton King's co*ck and causing him to cum as well, his seed shooting up to fill her womb as she cried out in delight.
"Do it," she moaned to Diana as their master pulled out of her and dropped her onto her ass on the floor, leaving her lying in a sprawl, cum leaking out off her.
Audrey barely noticed as Diana cut her father's head off, only having eyes for the beautiful goddess as she sauntered over afterwards, and lowered herself down so that her face was in front of Audrey's puss*. With her soon moaning out as she felt Diana's tongue at her wet c*nt, lapping up the seed oh so generously given to her by their lord, who stood over them with a dark smile, "This is but a taste of what I can offer you, my dear."
He said, smiling down at her, "This can be a reality.." He told her as he rose his hand, "All you must do is pledge yourself to me~" He hissed out, snapping his fingers and in the next instant death screams sounded out as the Formless started executing all the people of Kaznia while one of the worlds protector's ate out the snatch of the Queen who betrayed them all.
The sounds were horrifying, but they didn't register with Audrey. All she could focus on was the tongue skillfully moving around her most sensitive parts, sensually gliding through the folds so as to not miss a speck of cum.
"Oooh, Diana," Audrey moaned, gripping the back of the Amazon's head to hold her closer, "I want this. I want it now and always!"
"And you shall have it," Diana's muffled voice spoke out against her snatch, licking it eagerly, "In the embrace of Skeleton King~"
At those words, Audrey felt a hand grab roughly onto her hair as next she knew her lord was f*cking her throat while Diana was eating her out, with her eyes going hazy, lost in waves of lust, pleasure, and twisted desires.
(Meanwhile real world)
Though unknown to Audrey as she was experiencing what some would call dark twisted bliss, her real self was moaning muffled by her ball gag as she squirmed on the ground as a mystical holo screen hovered in the air over her displaying all of what was happening in her mind, "Hehe, quite a sight wouldn't you agree my dear~"
Skeleton King said in a low hiss toward Meg, as he now stood behind her, placing his hand on his shoulder while lowering the one that held his staff ending the projection, "By the time her Amazon in shining armor appears, our dear Queen would eagerly help me rape her rather than let herself be rescued from my grip~"
He said with a dark hiss into Meg's ear, "Perhaps you'd care to join the fun, if such a scenario comes to pass~" He asked with a dark grin, while giving the side of Meg's neck a lick.
"Oh, uh, wow," Meg muttered, unable to say much beyond that, blushing as she watched the image of Audrey being double teamed by Skeleton King and Wonder Woman. She knew she should be horrified by it, but that was probably the hottest thing she'd seen in her life!
Finally, however, she managed to compose herself and look at Skeleton King with a serious look on her face.
"Exactly what are you offering besides sex? Because I'm not some whor*, I expect more than just getting f*cked on a regular basis to earn my loyalty," she said.
At that question Skeleton King let out a dark smirk, "You see my dear, it's rather simple~' He stared into her lovely eyes, "Much like Darkseid did, I see potential in Intergang to further my goals or..."
He shrugged, "at the very least be useful in causing enough trouble to distract this world's protectors." he said with a grin, "And I believe I could gain intergang as a asset under my thumb with your aid."
He explained, before adding with a smirk, "As for what I can offer you..." He gestured toward the surrounding throne room, "How does being the real ruler of Kaznia while Audrey is your pet and figurehead sound as a start~"
He asked, grinning at the slight widening of her eyes, "Of course, you'd still report to me, but that's just a sample I could offer."
He held up his glowing staff, "A taste that could include..." Suddenly the room began to rain gold and jewels all around them , "Riches beyond your desire~"
He exclaimed with a cackle, watching as Meg watched the rain of riches in awe for several moments before all the gold coins and jewels vanished, "And of course..." He leaned forward, hissing out, "I can offer you... power..." He clenched his fist, "you are already a skilled combatant, but I could give you the strength to face Wonder Woman head on~"
Meg's eyes widened at that, the mere suggestion of that possibility stunning her. Then they narrowed in thought as she considered that. The idea of becoming a ruler, of having power and riches, and that brat queen under her control...
"Let's talk details~" she said with a smirk.
"Hehe, with pleasure my dear~" Skeleton King said, taking her hand and kissing the back of it as he hissed out, "With great pleasure indeed~" He added as the throne room echoed with the sound of his dark laughter joining the mewling moans of the Queen of Kaznia, trapped in the nightmarish wet dream of things to potentially come.
