Espeon and Umbreon had done their rounds around the city and found nothing. Two days had gone by since the gathering of heroines at the top of Prism Tower and the search for their chilling sister. As always the others were more easily reachable by phone after their work was done but there was no sign of Flareon, not as much as a mocking message which they came to expect.
It has been two days since they began their search though and now with Flareon's disappearance as well they were starting to get a bit worried. Lucario or not, someone had it out for them and with the fire and ice heroines gone missing it won't be long before whatever is after them comes for them as well. The two decided to sleep together in Espeon's house so that they will always be together and increase their chances if something would come up.
On the apartment door Espeon a knock was heard. She has shiny lilac-colored hair, purple eyes with small eyelashes, and thin eyebrows. Still wearing her Espeon bodysuit she threw on a bathrobe to hide her outfit to whoever was knocking. Peeking through the glass hole on her door a male with red hair and brown eyes wore a postman outfit and carried a package.
"I didn't remember ordering anything." She opened the door slowly peeking through it as the locks were still on it.
"Evening miss. I have a package for you which had to be urgently delivered to you. Please sign here." The postman said as the girl took off her locks. Opening the door he handed over the package to the young maiden as she signed a paper on the dotted line. The postman wished her a pleasant evening as he then left the floor he was on through the staircase of the building.
"Who was that?"
A slim young girl with emerald green eyes, dark black hair, and very pale skin covered mostly by her bodysuit of black and yellow rings. She has a strange hairstyle, with a partially shaved side, tufts of hair that resemble horns, and messy twin-tails tied with red ribbons. Her bangs are also on her right side and partially cover her eye giving her a look of a punk girl.
"Just a mailman. He had a package." Holding the box in her hands it was the size of a shoe box. The purple haired girl checked the label on it. Her name and address perfectly written she opened it up to see what it was.
Lifting the lid off the box she and Umbreon heard a click. A white gas erupted from the box that immediately sprang up and covered the room they were in. Espeon grabbed her bathrobe and covered her face while Umbreon covered hers with her sleeves. Using her psychic powers Espeon tried to lift the windows up but they didn't move no matter how much mental power she exerted.
"The windows are shut!"
"What!?" Umbreon called as they felt the gas work on them. It made them woozy and they both began to wobble on their legs. Coughing wildly they started to lose vision as well.
"Gotta…get…" Umbreon collapsed. Espeon tried one more time to open but she passed out as well.
On the roof of the building two characters were standing near a vent. The vent was closed off to a thick layer of ice preventing any air circulation inside the building.
"Your plan worked pharaoh." Ursula carried Espeon and Umbreon on her shoulders and set them down in front of her masters feet. May having frozen the windows and air circulation with a thick layer of ice the knock out gas had nowhere to go leaving Espeon and Umbreon in a closed space. Ursula then melted the ice on the vent letting the gas out so they have clear entry to Espeon's apartment and not get gassed themselves.
"Good work slaves. Soon your sisters will join you in serving me. Take them to the hideout."
"As you desire, pharaoh." Both slaves nodded and took each of their sisters ready for judgement.
Espeon's head felt woozy. Slowly stirring she began to wake up. The area she was in was dark and she couldn't see.
"What happened? Last thing I remember is…"
"Guilty."
"What was that?"
"Guilty."
"It sounds like…me?"
"Not guilty."
"Oh thank you! Thank you!" She heard a strange voice call out his gratitude. She felt her feet leave the floor. Trying to fight back her whole body was encased in something unbreakable. With a thud she got set down on the floor.
"The special one. Guards. Leave us."
Espeon heard footsteps getting dimmer. The light suddenly flashed and revealed her surroundings. Looking at a large purple curtain with golden posts and a step or three leading up to it.
"Who are you!?" The glowed a blue color curtain as it moved away and now Espeon could see herself on a large red love bed. Her clothes were nothing more but a face veil, some jewelry and a few rags that covered her private parts as she looked like a harem girl.
"I am you."
"What am I…are you wearing!?" Correcting herself as her identical twin smiled to her. She crawled over the bed to the end of it and let her legs touch the carpeted floor above the steps. Sitting up letting her bare feet rub the other she sat looking at her other in the eyes from down below.
"Your future attire."
"Future!?" The captured heroine yelled as the twin kept adjusting her position on the bed pylling her legs back letting her feet now rest on the bed as she laid on her stomach now with her feet high up.
"Foresight has always been the one psychic power we did not possess. Or else we would've seen this coming." She said knowing her own abilities all too well.
"You're not me. I don't talk like you." Espeon seeing through this fake dream or illusion that has been brought up her twin talked again explaining where her advanced vocabulary came from.
"The pharaoh requires his slaves to speak in a certain pattern. I adhere to his rules as penance."
"What are you doing here!? What is this penance you're talking about!?"
"Simple. I am his judge."
"Judge!?"
"His kingdom must be righteous. Any crime committed to the pharaoh will be dealt with in swift judgement. A task he set on me."
She got off the bed and closed the curtains behind her. Enough time on her hands for this trial she deliver a judgement not to keep her master waiting.
"Once I get out of here I'm coming for him." Defiant the heroine stated her future intention foresight or not.
"Then behold the visage of the pharaoh and be amazed!" Using her psychic powers she moved the curtains away again.
"He's…hand…some…damn…him…"
Espeon laid her eyes on him and quite frankly was blown away. The so called pharaoh said nothing but he commanded respect from her. Overpowering her mind just by watching him breath he held a influence on her heart which forced it to beat faster and while she was still tied up.
The curtains closed on her and concealed him from view. Espeon tried to use her own mental power to how his body again but the fabric refused to listen to her desires.
"You have caught a glimpse of the pharaoh's true face. Pharaoh Lucario is present for this trial but you are not worthy of an extended look to his greatness."
"Lucario…is the pharaoh?"
"Yes. This trial is for the crimes you committed against him. You and the Eevee sisters are charged with the crime of denying his birth right in establishing a new kingdom full of prosperity. How does the defendant plea?"
"Guilty. I accept my sentence. I will do as he commands me."
"Then rise from your spot and be his judge!"
Vaporeon was brought in accompanied by two guards holding her by her arms. A chain around her ankles and wrists the guards dragged her along the floor and roughly set her down on the ground on her knees. Anabel looked at her and as her pharaoh wished, judged the water sister by reading her mind.
"Guilty." Vaporeon then got lifted up out of the room by the two men. The next to be brought in was Sylveon in chains with additional bindings around her wrists. Anabel looked over her sister and without using her psychic powers knew her sentence.
"Guilty."
Jolteon and Leafeon followed. Without hesitation Espeon passed judgement on them both.
"Guilty!"
Out of the sarcophagus where his future judge is having her trial, Ash sat on his throne being tended by his slaves. May and Ursula were in front on her knees rubbing his feet. The two former heroines did not use any of their powers as their touch was as smooth as possible. Not too warm or cold it had to be perfect for their master.
They were anticipating their slave wear that they wore in their visions. The image not complete without the brand mark on their arm they wanted to be signed on to be viewed as his property. As the villain had his feet massaged enjoying his current situation he looked over to the unconscious Umbreon as heard a sound that warmed his heart.
The masks eyes on the sarcophagus lit up. The sign the process had been completed Ash waved the slaves aside. The two crawled aside as their master left his throne. The future pharaoh went to the coffin as he then opened the lid of the box. Seeing Espeon untied with her arms crossed above her chest he smiled.
"Welcome Anabel." Saying the name of Espeon the girl eyes opened. Ash stepped back as he then held out his hand to her. Anabel smiled and gladly took it as he helped her out of the ancient treasure. As she held his hand the warm feeling at seeing his form the behavior her twin showed in the vision manifested itself and she knew what to do instantly.
"I submit to the pharaoh. I am yours for eternity." She kneeled in front of him. Ash smirked seeing another converted to his cause. Nearly halfway through the group it was Umbreon's turn. And he knew how to let his soon to be harem girl to join him in a special way.
"Anabel. I have your first trial here."
"I have been shown what you come to expect pharaoh. I shall judge to the best of my abilities." Anabel still holding her head down let go off his hand.
"Put Marnie here on trial." Telling Umbreon's real name Anabel took herself and het powers to her sister. With a glimpse she immediately said what is on her mind as she knew her duty from her twin.
"Guilty." Ash wanted to hear it. As he then raised his hands and told the sarcophagus the magic words.
"I sentence you." The coffin lifted Umbreon up and pulled her in closing the lid and sealing her fate. The thief looked at the trio on the floor as he ascended his throne. The slaves crawled to the legs of the chair wishing to be commanded. Only keeping his eyes on Anabel his victory now is as good as secured.
With Espeon out of the way the biggest threat has been eliminated. The psychic could read May and Ursula's minds and would've betrayed the true allegiance so Ash made sure that the mind reader was the one who needed to be turned the quickest. Now he at least had some leeway in his plan.
With Marnie's conversion currently going on Ash could have some fun with his slaves. He did not get much enjoyment out of them as he made work of Anabel. With three beautiful girls in the palm of his hand he had some idea's for them once Marnie was his.
The sarcophagus opened and now the one known as Umbers on dropped to her knees seeing her master. Her head down Ash walked to her and cupped her chin with his hand lifting it up. A faint smile came over her face as he chuckled.
"You have a pretty smile. I have heard from the others you have trouble showing it but do not worry. Once I'm done with you you'll have a permanent smile to show off how happy you are serving me."
"Thank you pharaoh." The normally stoic felt her facial muscles starting hurt. Not used to holding a smile of her own the corners of her mouth began to droop own but she will beat the fatigue for her master as the honor of obeying him grants pleasure.
"Rise and join your slave sisters. I have orders for you."
Glaceon, Flareon, Espeon and Umbreon all stood perfectly still next to each other. Ash went to sit back on his throne looking over his accomplishment. He had been licking his lips over it for the longest time.
"Slaves. You want to make the fantasies you have been shown real yes?"
"Yes pharaoh!" All four yelled out full of devotion. Seeing the smile on masters face the response pleased him as they continued to listen.
"You do want your slave garbs and my mark on your arm as well?"
"Yes pharaoh!"
Anything to receive the harem girl outfit he had them wear and the mark inked onto their bodies they were desperate to make things right. Ash would get them their robes but he needed time. Time his slaves can fill up by doing other things.
"Good. All of you will return to your daily lives. You will continue to perform your heroics with your fellow sisters as if nothing happened."
"The story you all will tell is that May here has been chasing me on the night I took the sarcophagus for myself. Ursula then found her and with Anabel and Marnie doing their rounds found me and the sarcophagus and after a fierce fight destroyed it making me retreat."
His cover story complete the heroines would lie about the fate of the displayed object. The museum would not go after it anymore with the belief it was gone and the heroines had to destroy it for the greater good as it contained a great evil like an old Egyptian plague he was willing to set free.
"There are no issues for lying to them?" Ash asked them.
"No pharaoh. They are your enemies." All four girls answered the same.
"Then get out there and meet me here in two days. Make your pharaoh proud."
"Yes my lord!"
As he saw the heroines leave to do obey his orders Ash changed out of his villain costume and into some regular clothes. He had some shopping to do for his girls and with all the colors of his current and future slaves in mind he took his wallet to a lucky tailor that created costumes for movie sets and theaters and dress his girls in the customs he always wanted to repeat.
Bit late and shorter than the others but hey. That's life and this bloody year.
So yeah. Espeon can be the obvious choice although I know a certain someone will disagree.
Didn't expect Marnie to be Umbreon huh? But with the Dark typing she has going she was the most suitable candidate in my mind. Could've gone for Dawn who got it from her mom but I wanted ones that were a bit out there to maintain the crack pairings.
And now for the reviews and flood of messages which requests for me to do an Ash/Marnie thing.
Later.
