Just A Question:
Thanks a lot, but you're not even close.
war sage:
Thank ya kindly.
mattblue:
Glad to hear it.
Selias:
Wow, you only got one of the characters being referenced right, though you mismatched 'em with the wrong line. You were right about the last bit being two people, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that I will never, EVER have My Little Pony in a major part of one of my stories.
Z2010Deadmeat:
Yes, I do. Yeah, Madanach is quite the fool, but there's one born every second. Third, that movie was just disappointing, she didn't even look like Sonja!
A/N: Hey, folks, sorry it took me so long to update, but school's been taking up a good majority of my free time and it must always come first, even if I'd much rather be writing. Anyway, please remember to review with any comments, questions, concerns, or suggestions you might have.
Chapter 12:
Invasion of Solitude
Once the Overlord's troops were gathered and he finished having his fun with his mistresses, he came out of a portal to appear once more in the land of Skyrim, after running a quick errand. He once more had an army at his back as he marched to take on the capital of the nation itself, Solitude. The Imperial forces were far more numerous than they were in the game. Ships choked the water beneath the cliffs, archers covered the tops of the walls, and soldiers covered every entrance. At least, that's what Noir wanted them to think. With the help of Kitana and Rose, the overlord had his forces surround the city as much as possible. Once they were in place, Noir took his generals and mistresses that weren't positioned elsewhere with a unit of his different forces following behind him as he headed up the road to the main gate. As he walked, Noir looked out of the corner of his eye at the two he'd chosen to rule the areas of Skyrim he controlled while he was elsewhere, his two newest mistresses, the Voerman 'sisters,' Jeanette and Therese.
Flashback
Noir came out of a portal in Santa Monica, but not the Santa Monica of his birth dimension. He was in his plain clothes, standing in an alleyway.
"So where are these two that you brought us for, my lord?" Wanda asked as she came around from behind him, also dressed in civilian clothes.
"Nearby," he said as he walked out of the alley. The mistress formerly known as the Scarlet Witch followed after him. He continued to walk, ignoring the stares people gave him and the glares they were giving Wanda. He eventually stopped in front of a large nightclub called the Asylum.
"You know, if you wanted to take me out, all you had to do was ask," she said with a smile.
"I'm aware," Noir said, "but that's not why we're here. She is," Noir said pointing at a woman approaching them.
It was Jeanette Voerman, dressed in the outfit that she had in the game, a white dress shirt only held closed by the knot the front was tied in between her slightly larger than average breasts with the red bra she was wearing underneath peaking out slightly, a scandalously short skirt, knee-high socks with black shoes. Her golden blonde hair was tied into twin pigtails and she was wearing pitch-black eyeliner and ruby-red lipstick.
"Well, well, don't you two look interesting," Jeanette said, looking the two from head-to-toe, delaying on his groin.
"Right back at ya," Noir said, "While I would greatly enjoy your company in a social manner for a little while longer, I'm hear to offer you and your sister the deal of a lifetime, even for your exceptionally long lives."
"Pardon me, but did you just call me old?" Jeanette asked with a slight frown.
"Long-lived and…experienced. In many aspects from what I hear," Noir said, "But perhaps it's best to continue this conversation where there aren't as many prying ears."
"Alright, follow me," she said, leading them to a private elevator. She took them to the office that she 'shares' with her 'sister.' Jeanette leaned against the desk and crossed her arms under her breast, making them and the bra peek more out from behind the tied shirt.
"First things first," Noir said, "Wanda, do what I told you to earlier now."
"Okay," she said raising her hands before saying, "Two minds, two bodies."
She hit Jeanette with a blast and, in a flash of light, split her in two, so now both Jeanette and Therese were standing in front of them, much to the surprise of Wanda.
"What did you do to us?" Therese asked glaring at Noir, making him remember that they didn't know that they were just two personalities of the same mind.
"Getting your attention," Noir said, subtly signaling for Wanda to remain silent, "As I told Jeanette, I have an offer for you two. How would you two like to rule something beyond merely Santa Monica? Beyond these mere pimple of a city? How would you like to rule a nation?"
"What nation?" Jeanette asked, intrigued.
"A nation known as Skyrim. It's a nation in another dimension, but one that you two will be able to rule as you see fit, albeit under me," Noir said.
"Besides ruling under you, what other catches do we have to worry about?"
"Well, you'll be my two new mistresses, meaning you'll essentially be queens of my domain, equal to the rest of my mistresses and answering to no one, but me. As my mistresses, you'll join me in my bedchambers, should I order it," Noir said, crossing his arms, signaling that it wasn't open to discussion, "There's also a chance that you will never return to this world again, but you'd never want for anything. Gold, soldiers, power, it'll all be yours."
Jeanette didn't look the least bit put off by any of this. In fact, she seemed to like the idea. Noir wasn't really surprised. A party girl like her would, he figured. Therese, however, was hesitant.
"So, besides those, there are no other catches to your deal?" Therese asked.
"Well, besides not killing any allies without my permission. Obviously," Noir said.
"What do you think, Jeanette? Now that we've become partners, I should hear your opinion," Therese said, looking at her 'twin.'
Jeanette stepped closer to Noir before circling him and looking him up and down as she did. She licked her lips as she examined him like a prize stallion, her eyes telling Noir that was an appropriate comparison.
"Well, sister, he's willing to offer power that neither of us have even dreamed of and even you, with your all-business attitude, must find it appealing to work for a specimen as…fine as this one," Jeanette said, running her hand down one of Noir's muscular arms, making Wanda glare slightly out of instinctual jealousy. "Think about it, Therese, no more backstabbing kindred, no more Bertram, no more nosferatu, period!"
Seeing Therese was hanging onto her distrust by a thread, Noir decided to cut that thread by saying, "Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. If you join me, I'll make the both of you immune to sunlight."
That sealed the deal for Therese, "Well, you make a compelling argument and I have to admit that I find you to be a…unique individual, but how do we know that you can do what you say you can and that you won't betray us?"
"Because I'm not a fool. I don't throw away people that are loyal to me. If you're loyal, then I'll take care of you, but if you betray me, I'll show no mercy," Noir said, crossing his arms.
Therese gulped, seemingly nervous, though the darkest, deepest part of her being found her getting aroused by his dominant personality, echoing back to her youth before she was Embraced. Jeanette, however, was more visibly aroused by his masculinity, since she'd always been the more "fun-loving" sister.
"Alright, my lord, you have a deal," Therese said, moving to join her sister on Noir's arm.
After taking the two kindred sisters and Wanda back to the Tower and going to the Underworld universe to "borrow" some blood from a knocked unconscious Alexander Corvinus which effectively made the two vampiric sisters immune to sunlight, like he promised, the two mistresses began to get to know their mistress-sisters. Therese, much to Noir's surprise, was becoming close with Rose and Kitana, but the only thing that Noir could think when he heard Jeanette tell Harley her trademark "I think we're going to get on just like fire hoses" line was "Dear God, what have I done?"
Flashback over
Back in the present, Therese had lost the business power suit in favor of some steel armor, while Jeanette was wearing a modified version of the Forsworn armor that had more metal rather than animal skin, but was otherwise the same.
Noir stopped his advance a few yards from where the ground defenses protected the gate and addressed them, "Imperial soldiers, surrender now and you won't be slaughtered. Refuse and your bodies will feed the wolves for months!"
The soldiers' answers were the archers firing a volley at him, but Zatanna and Wanda easily deflected them.
"So, that's how they want it, huh?" Noir muttered before looking back at Zatanna, "Do it."
The former performer nodded and pointed her wand into the air, shouting, "Avada Kedavra!" That shot a bolt of green lightning into the air, which was the designated signal for the rest of their forces. The flyers and the brawlers that were hiding on the cliffs overlooking Solitude released their hold and began to drop and swoop down onto the defenders below. The ships started opening fire on the charging land forces, but Noir, having anticipated this, signaled for Elizabeth, who was hiding in the nearby swamp with her own forces, to begin her attack. She and her Evolved troops began to use their powerful leaping ability to land on the ships and spread chaos through the fleet. They tore through the sailors, ripped masts off of the decks, and broke the ships in half by leaping into the air and slamming back down to the deck with their hammer fists. The archers on the top of the wall were being decimated by the flyers and dragons that would swoop down to fly them into the air before being thrown to fall to their deaths. The foot soldiers guarding the front gate charged at the Overlord and the mistresses with him, who did the same while being backed up by shokan, tarkatan, minion, and dwarven forces. Ivy used her chlorokinesis to strangle and devour some of the troops, while Harley used her giant, cartoonish mallet to bash their brains in. Wanda used her chaos bolts to take down more of them and Zatanna used her killing curse to take down more of them. Kahlan and Denna used their different weapons to tear through the troops. Noir himself was using his strength, mace, and wrath hammer to smash through the troops. The rest of the soldiers were slaughtered by Noir's troops. When the last of them had been slaughtered, Noir called up some of his juggernauts, who waddled up to the front gate and began pounding on it with their brute strength. Some of the remaining guards on top of the wall tried to pour boiling oil on them, but this only succeeded in turning them into flaming juggernauts. The gates and the additions the defenders added to them were little help against the onslaught. It was mere minutes before the gates splintered and broke before falling down, crushing some of the guards that were foolish enough to try and hold the gates up themselves. Noir led his troops inside and, as soon as he stepped in the city gates, a brawler was thrown into a wall just to the overlord's right. He looked to see three men in familiar robes standing in a circle of dead brawlers. Noir advanced towards them with Scorpion and Smoke flanking him.
When the leader of the three Order of Light opened his mouth to speak, Noir interrupted him, "Do you think we could skip the whole 'your evil tyranny will end here because we're the good guys' schpeal? I'd like to get straight to the part where I kick your asses."
"As you wish," the leader said before charging the three warriors.
Scorpion and Smoke each moved in a direction, each followed by one of the lesser warriors of light, leaving Noir to face the leader. To Noir's surprise, the warrior was able to keep up with the overlord, at least without him using his superspeed. He wanted to waste time for his armies to make it to the castle and take it, so that even if the warriors of Light's broadsword managed to escape they wouldn't be able to help the defenders. Noir was thrown off balance from his surprise when the warrior managed to actually cut through the overlord's armor, though it was only a light cut on his cheek. The light cut healed instantly, thanks to the healing factor Noir stole from Daken at the beginning of his reign.
The warrior must've sensed Noir's surprise as he smirked, "Surprised, scum? I'm a major in the Order, only two steps down from the Generals! I won't lose to a monster like you!" With that, the major charged at Noir.
Noir blocked his attack and said, "So, you're bragging that you're the fourth strongest level. Kinda lame."
The major growled in response and pressed his attack.
Meanwhile, Smoke was using his powers to teleport and dodge his opponent's slashes while he used his martial abilities to return the damage. Scorpion, however, was far more aggressive in his fight.
"Come 'ere!" he yelled as he shot out his kunai at his opponent, who dodged it, but failed to notice Scorpion vanish in a burst of hellfire. He reappeared behind his opponent and hit him with a flying spin kick. He then hit the warrior with a fireball. The warrior managed to recover enough to try and swipe his sword at Scorpion, who defended by blocking with his own pair of swords. The undead ninja kicked him back with a frontal kick to the gut. "Get over here!" Scorpion shouted before shooting his kunai again, this time embedding it in the warrior's chest and pulling him in. Once he was in range, Scorpion gave him a hard headbutt, breaking his nose and stunning him for a few seconds. Scorpion, then, wrapped the rope around the warrior's neck before kicking him through a portal that he created. Another portal appeared above Scorpion and a severely burned corpse, its skin and a large majority of its muscles seared off, fell out and stopped its fall by the rope around its neck, which broke the neck. "FATALITY!" Scorpion roared to the heavens.
Smoke similarly managed to stun his opponent and made a hand gesture, speaking in another language, before charging at his opponent, while turning into a cloud of smoke. The smoke passed over the warrior and reformed into Smoke. The warrior yelled in pain as smoke came out of his ears and his entire body trembled. Then, the warrior of Light's body fell to pieces as if he were cut to bits by a blade of some kind. The two Mortal Kombat warriors headed to the castle to regroup with the rest of their forces, knowing Noir could take on his own opponent.
Speaking of the overlord, he was getting tired of the major and combined his hulk-strength and the magic of Shao Khan to cause the muscles of his body to expand and his armor, which he'd had Giblet modify specifically for this, to stretch to allow for his thicker body. He grabbed the major's hand that was holding his swiping blade, crushing it with no effort, before shoving his fist through his chest. Noir lowered his head to whisper into the major's ear, "Don't worry too much. All of your brothers will soon be joining you."
He pulled his fist out of the now dead major's chest and started walking towards the castle. The defenders here were clearly as effective as the ones in the rest of the city as demonstrated by the corpses lying everywhere on the path to the castle, all ripped to pieces. Reaching the throne room, Noir found Jeanette and Therese sharing the throne, Elisif the Fair on her knees by Denna, who had her hand on the High Queen's shoulder, keeping them in place, Bolgeir Bearclaw, Falk Firebeard, Bryling, and Erikur lying on the ground in pools of their blood, with some of their limbs torn or cut off. The rest of the mistresses and the lieutenants were also waiting for him.
"Nice to see you two have settled in nicely," Noir said to the two sisters.
"Yes, I feel as though this is where we truly belong," Therese said, "Now, what shall we do with the dethroned High Queen?" she asked gesturing to Elisif.
"Denna, I want you to break her. She might have information that we need otherwise I'd have just used the evil presence spell and risk her losing her mind. After we've extracted any information, well, I'm sure Jeanette would like a pet. Wouldn't you?" Noir asked.
"Oh, yes, Master," she said, clapping her hands excitedly, "I promise to take very good care of her! I'll feed her, comb her, and discipline her when she's bad!"
Therese smiled at the now former High Queen, who was watching the scene with a mixed expression of horror and anger. "From High Queen to royal plaything, kind of appropriate really."
"I think this victory deserves a bit of celebration, once we've taken control of the townspeople," Noir said, taking off his helmet.
"What have you got in mind?" Jeanette asked with a coy smile.
Noir stepped closer to her and pinched her chin to lift her head up while he leaned his head in so close that barely a centimeter of space between their lips. "I'm sure you'll all think of something. For now, you just have to amuse yourself."
Suddenly, each of the mistresses were wanting to get their work done as soon as possible. Even Therese found herself being excited at the prospect. Noir was about to go and see if he could help with anything when Gnarl spoke to him over the connection through the helmet, so Noir stopped them from leaving in case it affected them.
"Sire, congratulations on your victory over the foolish weaklings of Solitude. While I'm sure you'd like to celebrate with your mistresses, I thought you should know that I've found the location of the blue minion hive," the minion master said.
"Really? Where's it at?" Noir asked.
"There's a swamp in the overlord world. You said that you were familiar with the events of the Nordbergian overlord, then you know about the magic ooze that filled the badlands during that time, correct?"
"Yes," Noir answered.
"Well, the swamp is where the peons of the world moved the sludge long ago. The ooze is watered down, so you won't have to worry about it mutating you."
"Okay, so what's the catch?" Noir asked, not liking the way this was going.
"Well, there is one, er, slight issue. It seems that the fools that dumped the magical ooze there failed to realize they were putting it over an ancient burial site, so I'm afraid that the entire swamp is, uh, filled with the living dead."
"Zombie, why does it always have to be zombies!?" Noir exclaimed to no one in particular.
"Uh, Sire?" Gnarl started, not certain what to say.
"It's nothing, Gnarl," Noir sighed before turning to his mistresses, "Okay, so who's got experience fighting the living dead?" Only Ronette and Scorpion raised their hands. "How about fighting in a swamp?" Only Ronette's hand stayed up. "Alright, then, we'll need some more help," Noir said before thinking for a few moments, "And I know just where to get them. Keep working and I'll be back soon." With that, Noir headed through a portal to his next destination: the swamps around New Marais. He was able to find the one he was seeking easily. He just followed the dead militia.
Nix teleported into the branches above him, "Who ah ya? What'cha doin' 'ere?"
"I'm here to seek your help, Nix…and to save your life," Noir said, much to Nix's confusion.
"What'cha talkin' 'bout?" Nix asked before Noir explained the situation of where he came from and what Cole was going to do, considering he was following the evil karma plotline.
"Cole's gonna kill me!? And the Beast kills my babies!?" she asked once he finished his explanation. Her 'babies,' the corrupted of every shape and size were surrounding the two of them.
"Yeah, but if you and your 'babies' join my army with you becoming my newest mistress, it would be prevented. Not to mention that you won't have to deal with the militia anymore."
"But we'll be killin' a bunch of fools, takin' what we want, ya?" Nix asked, liking the idea.
"Oh yes, there will be many corpses left in our wake. So, what do you s-mmmph!" Noir was interrupted by Nix pushing his helmet off his head and shoving her tongue down his throat.
"What do ya think?" Nix asked rhetorically with a smug smile, "So, how are we doin' this?"
"Go through this portal," Noir said, creating one, "Gnarl'll get you and your babies settled in."
"How'll I know which one's dis Gnarl?"
"He's the walnut with ears. Considering how you're dressed, he'll likely be the one giggling perversely. Just wait there and I'll come and get you once I've gotten all of the help we'll need."
Nix nodded and led her Corrupted through the portal while Noir headed through a portal of his own. He came out in a location, specifically San Romero, California while it was suffering a zombie outbreak. His target was only a few feet away, wearing a skimpy cheerleader outfit and cutting a zombie in half with her bedazzled chainsaw, while a decapitated head attached to her waist cried out in disgust at the rainbow-filled guts flying everywhere.
When she saw the overlord, she was surprised to say the least, "What the dick is that!?"
"Must be one of those Dark Purveyors we heard about! Take 'im down before he try any of those freaky powers they've got!" the head shouted.
"Got it, Nick!" the girl said as she charged Noir with the full intent to slice him with her chainsaw.
Noir rolled his eyes and muttered, "Please," before hitting her with his evil presence spell.
The spell stunned her for a few seconds before she began moaning as the dark energy started to change her at the deepest parts of her soul. Most importantly, she was loving it! Why was she even trying to save her classmates anyway? They'd call her a freak if they knew what she could do, despite her being superior to them in virtually every way.
"So, Juliet, still want to carve me up?" Noir asked.
"Like, no way would I do that to a hottie like you!"
"Juliet?" Nick asked, shock and betrayal mixing in his voice, "What did you do to her!?"
"Good, I have a little zombie problem I was hoping you'd help me with," Noir said, ignoring the decapitated head.
"Of course! I'll do anything you want! Anything," she insisted, pressing up against him and running her hands over his chest.
"Before we go, you'll have to get rid of your…extra baggage," Noir said, looking at Nick.
Juliet looked at him confused for a second before realizing what he was referring to, "Oh! Here!" she said, handing Nick's head to Noir, who proceeded to dropkick him right into the middle of a zombie horde. While they couldn't see him when he landed, the screams and tearing sounds made his fate obvious. "So, can we go now?"
"I don't see why not," Noir said, creating a portal and escorting her to it. Before they walked through, however, a shot rang out and the bullet impacted Noir's armored shoulder, "And now I do," he said, turning around to see Juliet's sniping older sister, Cordelia aiming at him.
"I don't know what you did to my sister, but you better let her go now!" Cordelia shouted, preparing to make another shot.
Noir sighed, "Wait here," he commanded Juliet before using his superspeed to get to the sniping Starling sister in the span of a few seconds. He grabbed her by her neck and lifted her off her feet, causing her to drop the rifle. He was about to snap her neck like a twig when he remembered something, 'Hmm, she's a sniper, a skilled warrior, and she's not bad looking. Eh, why only take one sister when I could take two?' Coming to this decision, he sent his evil presence spell into her that almost instantly made her moan in pleasure and beg for more. Once it was done, Noir released her, dropping her to her feet, "Well, do you still want me to let Juliet go?"
"No! I want you to take me with you!" she said, desperately.
Noir smiled beneath his mask, "Good," he said as he pulled her tight against him after she picked up her rifle, making her blush slightly, "Hang on," he said as she wrapped her arms around him and he used his hulk strength to leap into the air and return to Juliet, who instantly got back into her place on Noir's unoccupied arm. They were about to walk through the portal when they were once again stopped, this time by the sound of an engine and something crashing through nearby fences. After waiting for a few seconds, a school bus busted through the fence and was being driven by none other than the third Starling sister and scourge of any road she happens to be driving on, Rosalind Starling.
"Don't worry girls, I got this," she said, her smile never faltering, her hands slipped off of the wheel, "Aa! I almost died," she giggled, "Hey, big guy, kidnapping my sisters is not cool!"
She turned the wheel to head straight for Noir, who separated from the girls and stepped forward, summoning up his hulk-strength again as well as his Shao Khan powers. The bus hit him head on and it was like it ran into a brick wall or at least something that Rosalind wouldn't plow straight through. Foolishly not wearing a seatbelt, the youngest Starling sister crashed through the windshield and likely would have been at least seriously injured had Noir not caught her before she hit the ground. Recognizing her ability to sow chaos and cause widespread destruction, Noir decided to hit her with the evil presence spell as well. He carried the youngest sister, who'd still managed to get injured enough that she would be out of commission for a while. Before he walked through the portal with the three sisters, he stopped to listen for a few seconds.
"What is it babe?" Juliet asked, worried.
"Just making sure your dad's not gonna suddenly appear," he said before deciding to walk through.
After waiting a few seconds where their dad didn't appear, Noir took the zombie hunting sisters through the portal to the Netherworld Tower. He put Rosalind in Wanda and Zatanna's care and told the two elder sisters to wait for him to return with the final member of their zombie fighting group. This final combatant was in a different version of New Marais, a version that was currently having a vampiric problem. He came out in the large graveyard where he knew the woman he was searching for would be and sure enough almost the instant he came out of the portal, a voice came out from above him.
"Well, well, don't you look like the interesting little thing," a woman said.
Noir looked up to see just the person he was looking for: Bloody Mary.
"I can assure you that nothing about me is 'little,' Mary," he said, "Either way, I'm here to speak to you."
"How abnormal! Most just try to end me as soon as they find out what I am. Very well, you've intrigued me, so I'll hear what you have to say before I turn you into a creature of the night. I'm sure you'll make a terrific minion."
Noir then explained everything that he wanted her to know, including where he's from, what he plans to do and what was going to happen to her if she stayed in New Marais.
"That is quite the story. Tell me why should I believe that you are telling me the truth or, if you are, what's to stop me from turning you right now?"
"Well, for your first question, the truth suits my purposes better and, as for your second question, if you try, I'll make you help me or I'll just save myself the trouble and kill you now. After all, you aren't crucial to my plans, but if you do become one of my mistresses, you'll be able to expand your race's numbers and I can make you immune to sunlight," he said, referring to the last of Alexander Corvinus's blood.
"Hmm, you do make a compelling argument. I assume that there will be rules that will go along with my loyalty to you, should I accept of course?"
"Yes, they're basically the obvious ones, like no drinking the blood of our allies unless it is offered, no killing the townspeople or the prisoners unless told otherwise, and no laying with another man."
"Is that all?" Mary asked, clearly surprised that there wasn't more.
"Beyond obeying my commands, no, that's it."
"Very well, I accept your offer. So, please, lead the way," Mary said, floating back down to the ground to wrap her arm around Noir's.
The overlord then took her to the Tower and gathered up his zombie-killing group before heading to the swamp where Gnarl said the blue minion hive was located. The instant they entered swamp, zombies began to burst out of the ground and water. Cordelia and Nix headed into the trees to use their long-range abilities without having to worry about coming under attack. Noir, Ronette, Scorpion, Juliet, and Mary charged the zombies, smashing their skulls and carving them to bits.
Mary, watching Juliet carve zombies to bits, making rainbow-filled gore fly through the air, spoke to her pig-tailed mistress sister, "Tell me deary, where do those rainbows of yours come from?"
"From awesome!" Juliet replied as she used her chainsaw to bisect zombie from head to groin.
Noir found the whole interaction very amusing while he moved from the now fully dead zombie to the next to bash the next one's skull in. They made easy work of the undead hordes as they pushed forward, wading through the knee-high water. Once they found the hive, the blue minions started cheering at the appearance of their new master.
As the zombie-hunting group neared the hive, the ground began to shake and a massive zombie burst out of the ground with a thundering roar. It was easily nine feet tall, a meter wide, and was thick with muscle.
"Damn, you're fugly," Noir muttered as he summoned up his wrath hammer and charged the large undead.
He leapt into the air preparing to smash its head in, but the zombie caught him in the air with his massive hand. Cordelia and Nix came to his rescue by hitting the large zombie in the face with their shots, making it drop Noir, who was caught in midair by Mary.
"Are you alright, dearest?" she asked.
"Yeah, a little embarrassed, but otherwise fine," Noir said as he dropped to the ground.
Juliet jumped onto the zombie's back and drove her chainsaw into its back, making it roar in pain. That was the distraction Noir needed as he tried the attack again, this time actually working and smashing the zombie's head. He then ordered his new blues to take the hive back to the Tower with the mistresses following it while Noir decided to make a detour on his own. When he arrived back at the Tower, he found Rosalind back on her feet after healing from her injuries.
"Rosalind, good to see you're all healed up," Noir said.
"Yeah, Zattie healed me right up! Then, she showed me around. This place is awesome! I'm so glad you brought me here!" the youngest Starling sister said.
"Glad you think so," Noir said, "I brought you a gift to celebrate your healing," he gestured for the minions that came with him on his detour to bring the cage he brought back to the Tower. When Rosalind saw what was inside, her eyes widened in surprise.
"I-Is that...?"
"Justin Bieber? Yup," Noir said, "Since you had to leave your, um, collection at home, I figured you could start again with him."
Rosalind jumped at Noir, wrapping her arms around her neck to kiss him deeply, "Thanks, hottie, you are so awesome!"
"I know," Noir said, "If you need any blades or something, the minions will be willing to give you some."
"You're the best, babe! Wait until Juliet and Cordelia see this!"
Noir walked off with a smile on his face to take Mary on a personal errand. A few minutes later, the two were walking into a very specific police station in Noir's birth dimension.
When Noir saw the detective that refused to give a single shit about his mother's murder, he yelled, "Hey, detective, remember me!?"
The detective clearly didn't recognize him, understandable considering his altered appearance, but Noir didn't care.
"So, I can kill everyone here, dearest?" Mary asked, trying to keep the excitement from her voice.
Noir gestured for her to go ahead and said, "Go nuts."
Mary smiled, her fangs growing and her eyes glowing, "Delicious."
Screams would be heard from the station for hours after that and not a single survivor would be found. Blood would be found staining virtually every surface in the building.
