The Rage of the Sun

A/N #1: This little idea came to my mind, courtesy of bStormhands, quite a while ago.

A/N #2: You all will probably see the plot bunny I borrowed from him.

A/N #3: This story "definitely" follows my other stories, so you will recognize a few of my OCs here that are still awaiting their full development there… This is guaranteed to spoil; that said, I hope not to spoil things too much.

Background: Rapunzel, having been safely reunited with her true parents, begins to feel an absolute rage towards her kidnapper. This rage, well hidden within her and unrecognized by her, begins at the behest of the drop of sunlight as it transforms from one of benign goodness to one of malignant vengeance. She, or rather the power of the drop of sunlight contained within her, decides to take matters into its own hands and end forever the threat Gothel represents…

Chapter 1: Doctor Lambert's Revelation

"But what of Rapunzel?" The queen asked.

"I believe I can answer that." Dr. Lambert stated as he came up on the group, his latest research into the power of the sun drop having taken an ominous turn.

The group stood there, amazed. To a person, they all wondered how the doctor knew he would be needed even before they thought he was needed. Their looks must have come as no surprise to Dr Lambert as he was ready when the queen began to ask the most obvious of questions.

"How did…?"

"…I know that the princess might have gone missing?"

"Well, yes."

"You see, I have done some additional research, as the princess has allowed me as I do not wish to spook her with the ultimate power of this golden yellow drop of sunlight, and found something both interesting and quite terrifying; all at the same time."

"TERRIFYING?!" A quite concerned Eugene blurted out, his concern for his new dream unmistakable to the others in the group.

The doctor, seeing the look of absolute concern on he who one day would be the prince consort quickly added that very special qualifier.

"Eugene, please forgive my lack of tact."

"To what do you refer?"

"Well, it isn't the crown princess we need to show concern for, but…"

"…the kidnapper?" King William asked as a sudden vision came to him.

"Why yes, my good king."

A/N #4: I know most people hate cliff hangers, especially a teaser like this, but I am impatient to get this online so I can get some reviews! Hint, hint. Wink, wink.
