Chapter 5: Battle of the Trolls
Ulik cracked his knuckles,
"I've waited a long time for this, Thor. You can join the Amazons when I grind you to dust!"
He charged in, reading a metal knuckle punch. Thor readied his hammer and they started exchanging blows.
Hippolyta, Selene, and Wonder Girl all watched as the Norse God of Thunder and the king of the rock trolls fought. Donna shook her head,
"Old enemies, rekindling their feud."
Hippolyta could only watch, speechless. She was actually witnessing a god from another pantheon, one she had only read about in ancient texts. Now, a god of thunder stood in her midst, and it was not Zeus.
Ulik landed another punch on Thor, which caused the hammer user to get slammed into a pillar. The troll scoffed,
"You're getting a little old for this, Thor. And I thought you were supposed to be a big, bad god."
Thor stood up, glaring,
"This land is not yours. Leave, or suffer the wrath of their champion."
Ulik laughed,
"Champion? From a bunch of schoolgirls? You truly have developed a sense of humor, Thor. I am Ulik, strongest of the rock trolls."
A loud shriek was heard and, as Ulik turned to look up, he was nailed with a drop kick from Diana. This caused the troll crash into a boulder.
Donna was overjoyed,
"Diana!"
She ran and hugged her older sister. Hippolyta smiled, her family was reunited, although Diana was no longer officially Wonder Woman. However, that mattered little to the queen.
Selene smirked,
"Hello, princess."
The daughter of Olympus narrowed her eyes,
"Hello, Selene."
Hippolyta looked at her older daughter's attire and was surprised,
"Diana, what are you wearing?"
Diana looked at the leather jacket, high heeled boots, and the fingerless gloves. Donna grinned,
"Farrah and I made it."
The queen groaned,
"Hera, help us all."
The younger Amazon princess was surprised,
"What? What did I do?"
Selene blinked,
"Do you think Farrah would design an outfit like that for me?"
Donna looked at her old flame,
"Why do I believe you would wear such a thing like that?"
The brown-haired swordswoman shrugged,
"Just a thought, dearest sister."
Thor shook his head, trying to regain his focus,
"Thank you, Diana."
The lasso user nodded,
"You're welcome. However, I don't think this is over."
Ulik erupted from the ground, shouting,
"You are correct, Amazon. I will ensure you and your brethren die an agonizing death!"
He picked up the boulder and threw it at Diana. The raven-haired warrior punched it into pebbles and moved in for an attack. Ulik threw a punch, but Diana deflected it with her bracelets. With each punch Ulik through, the princess deflected it, the clanging of the two indestructible metals echoing all over the island.
However, Ulik made a grave mistake. As he went for another punch, Diana caught him and threw him over her head onto the ground. That was when Thor jumped and slammed his mighty hammer down on Ulik's chest, a resounding thunder clap could be heard. The king of the rock trolls was not to be outdone and he slammed both his fists on the ground, causing another mini-earthquake. Diana and Thor were shaken, but regained their balance quickly.
One of the other Amazon warriors came to her queen,
"My queen, our sisters need help on the south end of the island. These beasts are gaining ground."
Selene shook her head,
"Not if we can help it."
The Amazon warrior looked at Thor,
"What is that man doing here?"
Wonder Girl explained,
"That man is a god; the god of thunder Thor. He is fighting one of his enemies, the king of the rock trolls. He is one of the other gods I have met."
The Amazon warrior shook her head,
"I personally do not approve, but that matters little at the moment. We must defend this island from those abominations as quickly as possible."
Hyppolyta picked up her sword,
"Donna, Selene; let us go."
The four Amazon warriors left to partake in another battle.
Once they were out of sight, the Amazon that told them of the attack smirked evilly,
"Fools! You have been tricked!"
She raised her hand and launched an energy pulse. Hyppolyta turned and soon drifted off to sleep. Donna and Selene both turned. The brunette swordswoman charged,
"Traitoress, you will die!"
The tricky Amazon revealed her true form as Loki. Loki grinned evilly, her eyes glowing,
"But, sister, one of the trolls is attacking our queen!"
Selene, caught in the mind control, turned angrily and saw what she thought was a troll. Thanks to Loki's magic, Donna was seen as a troll but the brunette charged madly,
"Monster, get away from the queen!"
Wonder Girl looked up and barely dodged the sword strike with her bracelets. She shook her head,
"Sister, Loki has put a spell on you. You have to fight it."
That did little to alleviate the situation, as Selene was rabid, and blindly striking at what she thought was her enemy.
As Donna was fighting Selene, Loki approached the unconscious Amazon queen. The trickery deity looked up and waved,
"Good-bye, Wonder Girl."
She disappeared with Hyppolyta.
As soon as Loki had teleported away, the massive army of trolls also vanished, as well as Ulik. Diana and Thor both arrived on the scene. The Amazon princess looked around frantically,
"Where is Mother?"
Donna explained,
"Loki took her, as well as the trolls."
Selene spun around, glaring,
"This is your fault, man! If you did not come here, the queen wouldn't have been abducted!"
Diana tried to diffuse the situation,
"Sister, the attack came before Thor or myself arrived. Though he is a man, Thor has proven his worth as a fighter and warrior."
Selene walked right up to the Norse god of thunder and glared,
"I'm not taking my eyes off of you. Is that understood?"
Wonder Girl shook her head,
"Where do you think Loki has taken mother?"
Thor answered,
"Most likely; Asgard."
Diana asked,
"So, how do we get to this…Asgard?"
