Enslavement
Light streamed through the rubble and debris of the building that had been mysteriously destroyed last night. Police and firemen were inside the ruins of the building as they were trying to figure out what caused it to collapse. The police had had been drawn there after responding to a call about a break in at the museum. They found signs of a struggle and assumed the incapacitated Sons of Hades had been dealt with by their resident superheros.
But they couldn't figure out what had caused this. There looked to be signs of a fire. And maybe and explosion. But still, what made these things happen? A gas leak? Arsonist? Could it have been the Sons. Suddenly underneath some rubble a golden light started to filter through the cracks. The men all looked at it in surprise and confusion before with a shout, the rubble was thrown away as Limelight emerged from underneath it.
Limelight rubbed her head, disheveled, a little worse for wear, but otherwise ok. She rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck. The people looked at her in shock. She ignored them for now. She'd explain to police chief Maximus what happened later. For now she had to find Merida.
She walked out of the building and took to the air. She had no idea where to begin her search. So she opted for calling the rest of the team. She pulled out her communicator to see she'd missed call from Jack. She called him back, putting the communicator to her ear. It rang a few times before he answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jack. What's up?"
"Oh nothing. I was just hoping you could tell me WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH MERIDA?!" he shouted from his end.
"Why? What happened?"
Flashback
Hiccup and Jack were hanging out at the mall. not doing much of anything as they sat around and waited for their movie to start. It was just them chilling and hanging out like they normally did. Hiccup checked his watch.
"C'mon man. Movie's gonna start soon," he said nudging his best friend. Jack checked his watch and nodded. He got up and followed after Hiccup as they walked to the indoor theater.
Then suddenly the wall of the food court exploded inward. People shouted and screamed in panic as dust and debris filled the air. Jack and Hiccup looked on in shock, wondering which of their enemies was behind this. They looked to the hole as the dust began to clear, revealing a figure clad in red being silhouetted against the sun. The men furrowed their brows. Then their eyes both widened in disbelief.
"Merida?" Hiccup whispered in shock.
Merida floated through the air, people looked at her in awe as she hovered over their heads. Hiccup and jack's jaws were hanging open. She was flying somehow. Which should have been impossible since Merida had no superpowers. Merida reached them and then slowly lowered herself to the ground. She touched down and walked forward to stand before Hiccup.
Hiccup gulped as he looked into her glowing red eyes. "Uh...everything ok Mer?" he whispered as quietly as he could.
"Yeah, what with the glowing?" Jack asked as he gestured to her. Merida remained silent as she kept looking into Hiccup's eyes.
Then without warning she lashed out with her arm and struck Jack in the chest, sending him flying across the room and into a metal table.
"Jack!" Hiccup shouted. he was about to rush over to him when Merida suddenly grabbed him by the front of the shirt. he yelped as she yanked him down to her eye level.
"You are coming with me," she commanded. Before he could protest she floated off the ground and out the hole she'd made before. Hiccup screamed as they went floating through the ai and the the people became specks.
"Oh my god are you ok?" Rapunzel asked in worry.
"I'm good. In the hospital though. got a few cracked ribs and my arm is broken. But I'll be fine. So...whats up with Mer? And why the hell did she kidnap Hiccup?"
Rapunzel gave Jack a quick recount of what had happened.
"Damn. Helmet of Sparta huh?"
"Yeah, why, have you heard of it?"
"Yes. I've heard it can give the wearer the power of a war god."
"I have to find her. Maybe if i can get her to take it off, she'll go back to normal," Rapunzel said hopefully.
"Maybe. But you might have to force it off of her babe."
"What?" Rapunzel gasped. "But I can't fight Merida."
"I know she's your best friend. But you said it yourself, she attacked you. And me. And who knows what she's doing to Hiccup. The helmet is definitely corrupting her."
Rapunzel's stomach twisted into nervous knots. She knew he might be right. But she was Merida. Her best friend. Her crime fighting partner. She was almost like her sister.
"Ok," she said in defeat. "But I might need help."
"Hmmm. Well unfortunately I'm no good. And you need to find Hiccup and Mer as soon as possible, so coming to heal me is no good. But I might be able to get you some backup, I'll make the call."
"Alright. But how do I find Hiccup?"
"He should have his communicator on him. We can track him with that."
Rapunzel nodded. She used her communicator to show her Hiccup's coordinates. She immediately recognized the location. Scotland. Dunbroch.
A few hours earlier, Merida thrust open the doors to castle Dunbroch. She dragged Hiccup in by the back of his shirt. She waltzed up to the throne, dropping him at the foot of the stone steps before standing before the thrones. Hiccup leapt to his feet and dusted himself off.
"Merida, what the hell is-" He paused as Merida conjured up a spear and pointed it at his face.
"Kneel," Merida commanded. Hiccup eyed the spear head and gulped nervously. Merida scowle at his noncompliance before she swung the spear, letting out an arch of fiery red energy that scorched the ground to his left. "KNEEL!"
Now on his knees Hiccup looked up at his girlfriend. She smiled at him and sat herself on her ancestral throne. He couldn't help but think she looked like she were made to sit there.
"So Merida. Why the sudden trip to Scotland? And what's going on with all...this?" He asked as he gestured to her glowing form and armor.
Merida smiled at him. "Its simple really. I have become a goddess. And a goddess deserves a castle."
"Goddess?"
"Precisely."
"And why am I here?"
"I intend to conquer the world. I will plunge the earth into the greatest war it has ever seen. A war that will raze the land and and turn the skies red."
"And you want me to be your king?" Hiccup reasoned. Merida scowled and stood. She slashed the ground before him, causing him to backpedal with a yelp.
"Do not be so insolent to imply I need a king." Hiccup nodded vigorously. Still Merida, independent and fiery as always. "Though I have become a goddess, I have certain human needs. And you Hiccup," she gave him a hungry smile as she came up to him. She kneeled down and leaned into his personal space.
"Will be my concubine."
"..." Hiccup blinked in surprise. He looked to Merida in disbelief. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Be my pleasure slave. Service my needs for all of eternity," she whispered to him.
"Out of curiosity. What happens if I say no?" He immediately found the end of the spear in his face.
"Then I make you swallow this spear,." she said with narrowed eyes.
Hiccup reviewed his choices. Painful death by six foot long spear. Or be his crazy girlfriend's sex slave. Oh poor Hiccup, forced to make an impossible choice. Well, he supposed no one would blame him for choosing life. He'd just have to bear with having to service her until one of his teammates came to resuce him.
"Well, I am allergic to spear. So I'll go with option one" he said eyeing the spear.
Merida smiled in satisfaction. "Now then. Time to summon my army," she said standing up. Hiccup rose and cocked a brow. Merida's spear began to glow. She raised it up before tapping it against the . The stone floor cracked beneath them before splitting open. Red light shown from the cracks. Hiccup watched as hands, skeletal hands, rose from the floor. And then skeletal soldiers arose, dressed in ancient Spartan armor.
"Whoa zombies!" Hiccup said in panic.
"My warriors! Tomorrow we begin our campaign to conquer all!" Merida shouted. The skeletal soldiers raised their spears.
"AWOO!" they shouted in unison.
"Fortify the castle. Kill all those that try to enter," Merida commanded. The soldiers spread out. "Come slave," Merida commanded to Hiccup. She looked him up and down. "I think its time you put on a more...fitting outfit for my concubine."
Merida stood before the bathroom as Hiccup put on his new outfit. She tapped her foot impatiently. "Are you done yet Hiccup?"
"Uh...I really rather not wear this."
Merida frowned at the door. "Come out Hiccup."
"Rather not."
Merida growled. She conjured up a short sword. Then she thrust it into the door. Hiccup yelped on the other end. "OK!" he said in a high pitched shout of terror. She withdrew her sword. Slowly, Hiccup exited. He was dressed in a kilt with the tartan of her clan. He wore no shirt or pants, exposing his toned chest, arms, and freckled shoulders.
Merida beamed in satisfaction. "Yes. Now thats much more fitting," she purred as she eyed his body. Hiccup kept tugging at it. Trying to get it to cover as much as possible when Merida suddenly grabbed him and effortlessly threw him over her shoulder. She carried him through the castle and to the main bedroom. She dumped him on the floor. He fell to his knees. He was about to stand when she suddenly placed a foot on his shoulder. He looked up at her.
"Well. Get to work slave. Start servicing your goddess."
Rapunzel was flying over the atlantic on her way towards Scotland. All the while she was nervously dreading her confrontation with Merida. She didn't want to fight her. She wasn't sure if she could. She loved Merida. Respected her. And admired her strength and courage.
But then again...
Merida would probably want her to stop her. Merida would never want to willingly hurt people. But that didn't make it any easier for Rapunzel. As she continued to sail over the vast stretch of water she heard two loud crashes, like thunder, a few miles behind her. She stopped in mid air and turned to look into the distance.
She narrowed her eyes and saw two dots rapidly approaching her. One green, and one blue. She waited as the two figures reached her. She was met with two women. And she recognized them. The heroes of Never City. Pixie and Snow Sprite. She remembered Hiccup and Jack telling her and Merida about their little adventure in Never City, and the meeting of the two heroes that had become their allies.
"Limelight good to meet you. Frost called us. We've come to back you up," Pixie said with a nod.
"Thanks I appreciate that," Rapunzel replied with a nod and a smile. The women all exchanged smiles as they sped over the ocean together. Limelight led the way, feeling more at ease now that she had allies.
"Enough."
Hiccup looked up at Merida. She smiled down at him, she suddenly grabbed him by the front of his kilt and lifted him off the ground.
"Oh god I'm afraid!" Hiccup said with wide eyes. With a shout he was tossed across the room. He landed on the bed with a hard oomph. He looked to Merida to see her undressing. She removed all her clothing, save for the helmet, and stood before him, hands on hips in all her naked unabashed glory.
"Uh. Might be more comfortable without the helmet," Hiccup said with a nervous chuckle.
Merida scowled at him. "The helmet stays," she said lowly, leaving no room for argument. Then her eyes trailed up and down his body. She smiled hungrily. "Remove your kilt."
"Uh hey, you know what else could be awesome. Cuddling! Nice, soft, pleasant cuddling. Just you and-"
He was silenced by her hard glare. "Remove your kilt." Her voice held power and promised doom if he disobeyed. He gulped and did as told. And though he was absolutely terrified, his lower half responded to Merida's disrobed form as it usually would.
And that was all she needed.
"Be gentle!"
From outside the door the creaking of the wooden bed could be heard. The sound of wood scraping against stone echoed through the castle along with the repeated slamming of a hard surface against a stone wall.
"AH! AH! OH! OW! OH-oh...oh thats good. Oh god-AH! OH GOD!"
Merida want snoo snoo. Poor Hiccup. Anyway, no, Hercules shall not appear if you're curious. He's out in the world fighting different factions of the Sons
