The land of Eostia was once a peaceful kingdom, blessed with both natural beauty and an abundance of resources for those who called the land their home. But after hundreds of years of military skirmishes between the race of humans and the dark elves of the north, the land is once again thrown into the turmoils of full-blown war.
Celestine Lucross, High Queen of the Light Elves and The Goddess reborn, and Olga Discordia, High Queen of the Dark Elves, had been at war with each other for seven hundred years.
All the other races in the land were eventually drawn into their conflict.
The humans, dwarves and halflings on the Light Elves side, the orcs, goblins, trolls and other monsters on the Dark Elves side.
Various other groups like wizards, sorcerers, warlocks and druids were drawn into the war.
Unique and powerful beasts like dragons, werewolves, werebears, unicorns, griffins, Pegasus, as well as the demi-human races such as the vampires, succubus, snow fairies, Minotaurs, Ogres, Lamias, Giants, Harpies, Cyclops and the like were drawn into the conflict.
Many of their kingdoms and villages were destroyed in the conflicts, forcing the various races to eventually pull out of the war itself for fear of their race to be exterminated.
The Seven Kingdoms of the single large continent of Eostia consisted of Feoh, Ur, Geofu, Ken, Rad, Ansur and Thorn existed in the middle of the continent.
In the outlands of the north live grotesque creatures such as the Orcs, Trolls, Goblins and Demons. And ever since they existed, they have been that which all other life hates. Under the direction of the Mistress of the Black Crystal, these creatures have attacked village after village, taken their livestock, killed the men, defiled their women, and rejoiced in it.
The Black Fortress was said to have been erected in a single day some 700 years ago. The once fertile land was corrupted by dark magic and turned into a wasteland. There is no day or night, the sky always looks like its drenched in blood. The air is filled with marsh gas and the land is so barren nothing can be grown. The once fresh water has turned into poisonous, murky swamps, and the creatures that existed in this land were under the rule of Olga Discordia the Dark Elf Queen.
Queen Celestine had two advantages on her side: the Princess Knights of the Seven Shield Alliance, lead by the female leaders of the Seven Kingdoms of Eostia including herself, and the Kuroinu mercenary company, also known as the Black Dogs, lead by the warrior Vault and comprised of the toughest and strongest fighters in the land. With the backing of the church, the Seven Shield Alliance was the only thing defending the people from Olga's constant attacks on the land.
However, after nearly 2 decades of fighting for the High Elf Queen, Vault had grown to resent the constant conflict between the two elven leaders, which had destroyed much of Eostia and resulted in the deaths of many humans. Along with several conspirators within the ranks of The Light and Dark Elf Queens ranks, Vault hatched a diabolical plan.
It was during the final campaign to take The Black Fortress, that Vault put his plan into action. The Black Dogs assaulted Olga's stronghold, using everything from magic to swords to war machines driven by steam. The steam-powered weapons were something new from a newly made ally from the far East.
Olga's forces were thoroughly distracted, Vault and a handful of his best warriors infiltrated the Black Fortress. They made their way to the source of Olga's powers, a large dark-purple crystal at the lower-center of her Fortress, and cut her off from it.
They had done this by placing their hands on the crystal itself, which somehow disconnected Olga from it and gave power and authority to Vault, his right-hand man Hicks, his spell-casting mage Kin, and Shamuhaza, an insect controller from the East.
The four now controlled The Black Fortress, as well as the monsters that roamed through the land.
Capturing Olga Discordia and her remaining loyal retainers, like Chloe the half-elf, was an easy task. Olga had lost her powers as well as her authority over the monsters of the North.
There were five other dark elves present when the dark elf queen and her chief lieutenant were captured by Vaults forces.
Aura Shurifon had long silver hair with two braids tied in circles dangling onn both sides of her face. She had light crystal blue eyes that were rather emotional at times. She was the tallest of the honor guard and it's best with a sword. She was lean but shapely and quite athletic.
Cristianos Orcein, captain of the honor guard. She was a little bit more muscular than the rest of the honor guard, carrying a sword and shield and wearing dark green armor all over her body, which included a helmet with a mohawk on top. She was an expert rider and lancer.
Creer and Prier Turmeric - the dark elf twins and master archers. Dressed in dark green and brown leather outfits that included miniskirts, croptops and boots, they carried a quiver of arrows and specially made bows that were centuries old. They had reddish hair and greenish eyes.
Daedra Annatto - possessing red eyes and bluish-gray skin, Daedra was a drow (a member of a sub-class of dark elves that had lived underground for centuries prior to the great war) She was an expert knife fighter and infiltrator.
The five had been prepared to fight to protect their Queen, but quickly found themselves surrounded and outnumbered by the human invaders. What was worse was they were being helped by the orcs, trolls, goblins and demons that inhabited the fortress.
"As of this moment! The Kuroinu Sex Empire now begins!" Vault declared as the elves were tied and stripped of their weapons.
Olga Discordia could only look on, helpless as she was now that her powers had been stripped from her.
"It is time for the rule of men!" Vault declared, a cold and evil glare in his eyes.
"It's time that you and your kind, you female bitches, were put in your place." Hicks laughed at the elves.
"My men and I will enslave and subjugate every woman alive into nothing more than sexual playthings for my men." Vault declared.
"You mean those disgusting fiends and killers who follow you?" Chloe barked in defiance.
"Don't worry. They won't be the only ones who get to have you." Vault declared.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Olga and Chloe were placed in a cell opposite of the rest of her honor guard.
Where the rest of the dark elves were, they had no way of knowing. Most had already been killed when Vault and his men took the fortress, but many had fled when they had the chance. As if they knew something was wrong.
But that was a month ago, and Olga and her remaining dark elves had been languishing in their prison cell for that long. Something that was making them increasingly nervous.
"How could this have happened?" Chloe growled as she struggled against the hard steel and iron bars of her cell. Even after a month, she couldn't understand Vault's reasonings. Not that she was expected to find an answer after being alone for so long.
"Vault... and his men... they have taken control of the Black Crystal. The source of my power." Olga said, having slowly regained her strength over the last month.
"We have to do something! We have to regain control and..."
"No." Olga said.
"No?" Chloe asked.
"No. Because for the first time in 700 years... I am FREE!"
"Free?" the half-elf asked in shock.
"The Black Crystal is evil. It corrupted me. Took over my thoughts and actions. Turned me against my oldest childhood friend. Celestine Lucross. Even her divine power could not free me." the former queen of the dark elves explained.
"And now?" Chloe asked.
"Now... the Crystal has corrupted Vault and his followers. They were vile, cruel human beings to begin with. True scum. Now... they will be worse."
"They will rape us, defile us, humiliate us. They will allow their forces, and even the monsters, to have their way with us again and again, until we are broken. In more ways than one." Aura said with distaste in her mouth.
"They would have done that regardless." Cristianos said.
"We will be broken and sold into slavery. We will be the crown jewels in this new Sex Empire of Vault's. Men and creatures will pay large sums to have us for even one evening. Everything we once stood for, our dignity and nobility, will be gone. The era of women... will end." Olga said.
Olga looked at her hands, still disbelieving that her magic was gone, so easily taken away from her by a human.
Vault wasn't a sorcerer or a magic user in any way, but he didn't need it. His strength in battle would have been enough to get the Orcs, Goblins and other creatures he once fought against on his side. With the incentive to let them have their way with Chloe and the others. His numerous soldiers would follow him into hell if it meant victory and sating their own sexual desires. His man, Kin, was a sorcerer and would enjoy boosting his own powers and abilities, and all to serve Vault.
And now that Vault had the Black Fortress and the leadership of the entire Northern-half of the continent, he was going to do whatever he wanted. And no one could stop him.
However, there was a part of Olga that was glad that she was no longer under the Crystals influence.
Despite this, she was also very, very curious as to what reason Vault would have to wait to punish and torture, and especially rape, her and her elves.
'He should have defiled us by now. But he hasn't. Hasn't sent his men to have their way with us. Did he find someone else? Is he planning something more? Why is he taking so long? We have practically been left alone and...' Olga thought to herself, when she was broken out of her thoughts by something.
BOOM!
Olga and Chloe were shocked at what was happening. A sudden explosion or the kind appeared in the center of the prison cells.
The other dark elves could barely see what was happening, until the source of this new occurrence came into view.
Specifically, that of seven men.
The first, the apparent leader of them, was a tall and muscular man wearing a bright blue outfit that covered his entire body, save for parts of his face like his mouth and eyes, with colors of red and white on it. Red gloves and boots, a white star upon his chest, and a white 'A' on his forehead. He carried a large circular shield that was red and blue and had white and red circles on it surrounding a white star in the center.
The man behind him was athletic as well, though a little shorter. He was dressed in a dark blue suit that also covered his body, save for his mouth and eyes, with a silver star on the chest and silver wings on both sides of the star. He had brown gloves and boots, and carried a similar sized shield on his back, this one being silver and blue.
The third man was dressed all in black, made of a material none of them had ever seen. It looked sleek like silk, but hard as armor. The pointed ears on his head gave the impression of a cat. The man had a strong presence to him, a regal, almost cat-like grace. His strange outfit also seemed to surge with a color like purple.
The fourth man, dressed similarly to the third catman, was a bit shorter, his outfit seemed a bit bulkier and had more armor plating.
The fifth man was tall and athletic-looking, dressed in a red and blue skintight outfit that had black spider-web patterns over the red parts of the shirt and a black spider-like symbol on his chest. He had two large white eyes that seemed larger than normal.
The sixth person seemed a bit shorter than the first, dressed in a mostly black and red skintight outfit that had a red spider-symbol on his chest. The large white eyes on his face were framed by silver lining and slightly different shape than that of the fifth man.
The seventh man seemed less like a man and more like some kind of reanimated golem. He had a human appearance, but was covered in red and green armor with a long-flowing green cape and a bright yellow gemstone in it's forehead. It was also hovering around and looking around at their new surroundings.
"It seems we have arrived." the 'golem' said.
"Cap, what happened? Where are we?" the second shield-wielder asked.
"Not sure, son. Looks like a dungeon." the taller first man said.
"Uh... who are they?" the man in the red and blue spider outfit asked, pointing to the caged dark elves.
"They look like elves." the humanoid golem said.
"Can you help us?" one of the elves asked the newcomers.
"Should we?" the man in the black and red costume asked.
"They're in cages. Which means one of two things." the second-shield wielder said.
"Good guys in bad guys custody, or bad guys in good guys custody." the first cat-man said.
"Spider-Man?" the first man said to his companion.
The blue and red garbed man stepped up to the elves, staring at them intently. While they were all very attractive women, Spider-Man had known better than to just go by appearances. However, his spider-sense wasn't going off, and he had had more than enough experiences with beautiful and potentially dangerous women to know.
"I don't think they're the bad guys." Spider-Man said.
"Who are you?" Aura asked from the opposite cell.
"I'm Captain America. This is MVP, my protegee." the first man said.
"I am King T'Challa, the Black Panther of Wakanda. This is my protegee, Night Panther." the first cat-man said.
"This is my protegee, Kid Arachnid. And I'm Spider-Man." the blue and red garbed man said.
"And his name is Vision." Captain America said, indicating the green and red-garbed 'golem'.
"Who are you?" MVP asked the elves.
"Olga Discordia, queen of the dark elves." the tallest and most entrancingly beautiful of the elves said. "These are my honor guard. Chloe, my chief retainer. Aura Shurifon, Cristianos Orcein, Creer and Prier Turmeric and Daedra Annatto." she introduced, each of the elves nodding in acknowledgement.
"And... why are you imprisoned?" Spider-Man asked.
"We have no time for questions! Vault and his men are going to come for us soon!" Chloe said with sudden urgency.
"And what will they do?" Black Panther asked.
"Rape Us!" Aura said.
"That's it!" Night Panther said as he moved forward.
The younger cat-man grabbed the first cell door that held Olga and Chloe and forcefully yanked it off of it's hinges. The dark elves gasped at the brute strength of the so-called 'protegee'.
Kid Arachnid walked up to the second cell where the other five dark elves were being held, his fingers sparking with some kind of energy, before he stuck it into the keyhole and sent a charge through it. The lock popped off and the cell door swung open easily.
"Incredible!" Aura gasped.
The dark elves emerged from their cells, staring at the seven newcomers.
"Even a troll would have trouble tearing those cell doors apart." Cristianos Orcein said.
"You told us your names, but... who are you?" Aura asked.
"We're The Avengers." Captain America said.
"Hey! You!" a new voice said.
"Uh-Oh!" the heroes gasped they saw ten armed soldiers enter the prison area.
"Get Those Intruders! And Put Those Elf Bitches Back In Their Cells So We Can Rape Them Later!" one of the guards shouted as they all drew their swords.
"Watch your language, soldier." Captain America grimaced.
"We don't take order from badly dressed fools!" a second guard shouted.
"So Fuck You And Die!" a third soldier shouted.
At hearing that, Captain America's face grimaced.
"Uh-oh." Spider-Man, Kid Arachnid, Night Panther and MVP all stepped back.
The confused elves just watched as the blue-garbed Avenger hurled himself at the ten guards like a human tornado, smashing into them with the force of a giant battering ram and hammering them hard against the walls of the prison itself. It was over in less time than it took to inhale a breath.
"Wow." Creer and Prier Turmeric gasped in unison.
"I suggest we take our leave." Black Panther said to the group.
Just then, several large creatures emerged into the prison chambers.
"Oh, no!" Creer and Prier Turmeric
"Orcs!" Aura gasped.
"Yeah, didn't think it would be that easy." Spider-Man said as the orcs suddenly charged.
The Avengers quickly sprang into action.
"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" Captain America shouted as he lead the charge.
Captain America hurled his shield at the Orcs, the colored metal disc ricocheting around the prison cells and smashing against several of the Orcs.
MVP leapt into the air and planted his feet against one of the Orcs, knocking it into two other Orcs and falling them to the ground.
Spider-Man punched one of the Orcs, sending it flying backwards through the air. A second one attacked from behind, but he quickly avoided the attack, spun around and punched it out with one hit.
Kid Arachnid blasted several of the Orcs with his Venom-Blast, rendering at least three of them unconscious.
Black Panther and Night Panther leapt into the air and threw several powerful kicks that struck hard into the heads of several orcs, knocking them down like bowling pins. The pair also seemed to be dancing into the air as they jumped from Orc to Orc.
Vision turned intangible and allowed several of the Orcs to swing and miss him, before turning back into physical form and backhanding his assailants.
The elves just looked shocked as these newcomers easily overpowered both Vaults soldiers but also a large group of orcs. They had strength, skill and abilities that they themselves had never seen before.
"Now can we leave?" Black Panther said.
The rest of the group just nodded.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The group of seven men and seven dark elves had managed to escape from the Black Fortress, meeting with minimal resistance as they went.
The elves said that Vault's army was huge. Larger than any other force in the Seven Shields Alliance. That meant that they should have encountered more soldiers during their escape. So where were they?
It had been little more than a month since the dark elves were captured and imprisoned by Vault and his men. A month since Vault and his chief lieutenants had been even more corrupted by the power of the Dark Crystal that lay at the center of the Black Fortress. A month since they declared that they were going to rape and break Olga and her remaining forces.
So why did they wait? They had Olga and her elves right where they wanted them. Did they want to wait until the elves were weakened by the lack of food and drink to ravage them? No, they had been fed at least two meals a day. Not the best meals, but enough to sustain them. Was there something else about the Dark Crystal that was causing them to be so distracted?
They had made it several leagues from the Black Fortress, crossing the borders between the Northern territory and the rest of the continent. Once they were free of the blood-red skies that polluted the atmosphere, then Olga assured them they were safe.
But safety was a matter of opinion.
The first human village they had come across had been completely destroyed only a couple weeks prior.
They continued south, and came upon other villages that were devastated, burnt to the ground, the houses and barns stained by blood.
To a veteran warrior like Captain America the sight was as familiar as it was disheartening.
The group eventually made camp in what was once the town of Erron, the third town they had come to. There were no people left and very little of anything to eat. And only a handful of buildings left standing.
T'Challa had sent his man, Shinji Ikari the Night Panther, out on reconnaissance to make sure the path to the capital city of Ken was cleared. The group was proceeding on foot and they had little chance of actually making it and being undetected with roving bands of men, orcs and other monsters out and about. Olga had sent her best scout, Aura Shurifon, along with him.
While the pair had gone, the two groups had finally gotten a chance to know each other. Settling down in the sturdiest building in the town, a large, brown-colored barn, the two groups were able to relax.
They had been three days on the run and they were running low on both food and rest.
"You were summoned to this world?" Chloe asked in shock.
"More like contracted." Spider-Man said.
"A mystical being calling itself 'The Sage' had told us that this world was in crisis, mostly because of the dark magics of this world, and needed help. That a horrible fate awaited it, and the women of this land." Captain America said.
"This 'Sage'... did they say why or how they knew we were in trouble?" Cristianos Orcein asked.
"They only mentioned that someone with great divine powers had asked for help. Because they feared they were going to lose the war, once Vault and his army had turned against them." Black Panther said.
Olga and Chloe and the other dark elves were stunned.
Could they have been talking about Celestine?
Could the goddess reborn have something to do with these men being here in this place, at this time, to help them?
Olga was considering it, but knew there was something else going on as well.
With her powers and authority stripped from her, and her forces severely depleted for one reason or another, even if she had an army of dark elves at her beck and call, it wouldn't have been enough to stop Vault from taking over the Black Fortress.
It was almost as if fate had conspired against her.
Not that she cared at this point.
"I don't care." Olga said.
"You don't? Why not?" Chloe asked.
"Because...The power of the Dark Crystal had taken control of me. Influencing my thoughts, my own desires. Replacing them with something far darker and more sinister. It was as if the crystal was pure evil unto itself. As if it were... alive."
"How did all this happen?" Vision asked.
"The powers of the Dark Elves were beginning to dwindle. Celestine, as the goddess reborn, had been blessed with divine power. Her strength and influence was growing stronger day by day. I and my dark elves were becoming overshadowed. Obsolete and weakened. Then the Black Fortress suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I myself was drawn to it. Within the citadel I found the crystal, just brimming with power. I touched it with my hands... and felt myself change. And not for the better."
"The crystal corrupted you." Captain America said.
"Yes. It amplified my most terrible emotions and darkest thoughts, overwriting everything I had once been. It made me... the worst version of myself. The dark elves were never pure beings, unlike our Light Elven kin. But we were never evil incarnate. The Dark Crystal made me worse, and gave me both power and authority over the monsters that lived to the North. The orcs, the trolls, the goblins, the demons. Each and every one of them were mine to command. But now Vault and his lieutenants have so easily usurped that power and authority. They have been corrupted by the crystal the same as I was, 700 years ago."
The Avengers and Dark Elves just continued to look and stare at the incredibly shapely and thoroughly defeated-looking elf.
"In my desire for power, to stand on equal footing with the goddess reborn, I allowed my soul to be corrupted and tainted. For 700 years I have waged war against the Light Elves and all other purer forms of life... and I was wrong." she said.
"My queen!" Chloe said.
"When we reach Ken, I will hand myself over to Celestine and the Seven Shield Alliance. Perhaps they will be merciful. Though... for what I have done..."
"From what you say... it wasn't your fault." Steve Rogers said.
"My hands are stained with blood, regardless. Seven centuries worth." Olga said.
The heroes couldn't help but feel sorry for the dark elf queen.
Steve knew how she felt, since his friend Bucky had been in a similar position some time ago. His teammates had similar thoughts of their own.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(20 miles from the Town of Erron)
Night Panther and Aura Shurifon had reached the encampment of one of Vault's battalions. They estimated there to be at least 1000 men, with some orcs and goblins there as well.
They had several captives with them. From what Shinji could tell, they were mostly women.
"There." Night Panther said.
"I see them. Captives from the village we were just at." Aura said.
"Most likely."
Shinji and Aura free the captives as quietly as they could, then grab one of the higher-ranked soldiers and knock him out.
"Is this really a good idea? To bring him with us?" Aura asked as Night Panther slung the lieutenant over his shoulder.
"We need intelligence. If Vault's army now consists of the best fighters, soldiers and warriors of Eostia, as well as demons and other monstrosities, then we need to know what they're planning." he said.
Fortunately most of the battalion were too busy getting drunk to notice the dozen or so escaping prisoners fleeing from the camp.
"It's a good thing you and your friends arrived when you did." Aura said as they left the camp.
"It's a good thing we aren't alone in this." Shinji said as he easily carried the unconscious man with him.
"What do you mean?" Aura asked as she traveled behind him.
"Let's just say... we aren't the only ones 'The Sage' contracted for this job." he said with a smirk.

Authors Notes:
Just a little something I've been working on for a while.
No grips about this story. It's something I wanted to do for a while. Mostly because I liked the idea and challenge.
I will be including some of my favorite heroes from various comics and anime, and posting future chapters as best I can.
And yes, there will be lemons.
