Chapter 2-Shatter their Chains
It's has been two days since the group left the village in search of a new base for them to use. While on the travel of the first day the group were attack by monsters on the road and thrives wishing to steal their goods.
Neither monsters or thrives were a bothersome to the heroes of the modern day, the monster was easily killed by Deadpool and Dante's firearms, while the thrives were defeated by the likes of Naruto, Spiderman and Bob while Doctor Doom kept the people traveling with them safe.
Bob and Deadpool were on the drivers of the giant magic carriage. The sun hung high over them shining bright as ever while welcoming a new day to them.
"Hey Wade how long have we been traveling?" Bob asked the mech with a mouth.
"For two days. Why?"
Bob looked back inside the giant magic carriage to see everyone looked hungry and thirsty. It has been two days since they left without stopping for a rest.
"We need a break, we need to find a place fast everyone's hungry and we need water not just for us but for the horses as well." Deadpool agree with his large friend and stopped the horses and put out a map out of nowhere.
"Where the hell you get that?" Bob asked.
"Oh, don't worry about that." Deadpool chuckled while looking at the map "Let's see we are outside the lands of our target and we are in new lands from this point. From the Map its show we're about three miles away from a city."
"Hey, Naruto. Come down we're stopping for a break." Bob knocked on the wooden carriage as the others came out of the giant carriage, Spiderman, Dante, Doctor Doom and the Village Leader Rom.
"Aw man finally, I was feeling carp up inside there." Spiderman said while doing some stretching.
Jumping down from the top of the carriage, the blond ninja let out a tired yawn.
"Whoa, did ya skip on slumber land huh prince charming?" Spiderman said while joking with his new friend.
"Well had to stay awake right, no telling if we got ambush from above. So…I didn't get any sleep." Naruto let out another yawn but this time it was long and loud.
"Well once we're back on the road, how about I take over and you sleep inside the carriage." Spiderman offer the idea, Naruto respond with a friendly smirk.
"Sure man.. Now you said there's a city nearby?" Naruto asked Deadpool.
"Yeah three miles north." Deadpool gave the others the map. As each of the heroes take a looked at the map while he went to helped Rom bring out the villagers so they can get some fresh air.
Doctor Doom grabbed the map and looked it at the northern path.
"Ok gentlemen this is the plan. I will stay with the villagers, Deadpool, Spiderman and Dante will scout out this city. While Naruto and Bob will stay behind with me." Explained his plan to his teammates.
"Sure, we'll follow through." Dante said with a smiled.
"Ok, but hold no promises if a fight starts with us and the locals…again." Spiderman told his leader.
"Maybe I can see if they got some Ramen or something man I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since we got here." Naruto's stomach growl loudly.
"FEAR NOT!" Deadpool shouted.
Deadpool withdraw a large white table cover from nowhere. With a simple wave of the cover that blind everyone sight at first. Everyone but Doctor Doom's widen in shock as in the blink of the eye. There was a super long dining room table with the white table cover on it.
Everyone suddenly notice Deadpool had a Chief's hat on his hat.
"Before you guys go, HAVE SOME PAAAAAAANCAKES!" He shouted proudly.
"Ho-ho-how did he do that?" Bob asked while still looking shock.
"I agree, either this guy is magic…or something else." Naruto looked amaze whiled the villages didn't mind it all, only please with the fact they were going to have breakfast.
"HA-HA-HA! Fear not my spiky hair ninja. My magic…comes with a wall and with a wall I can do…many things. Once we find our new hideout I'll show some REAL magic. Ok WHO WANTS FIRST PANCAKES!"
"Um sir…" Deadpool looked down to see one of the villager's children.
"What's up kiddo?" He asked with a friendly tone.
"Can we…have some…Pancakes?" the child asked him while looking shy.
"Hahaha worry not! For I have made PANCAKES FOR EVERYONE!" He shouted with a joyful cried.
The children shouted with joy, while Deadpool was making pancakes for everyone, Dante walked over to Doctor Doom and whisper to him.
"I talk to the old man, and he told me the city nearby is a slave market." Dante whispered to Victor Doom.
"I see, anything else?" He asked the Devil Hunter.
"It's a market of other thing, but it's mostly known as a slave market. The old man tells me the villagers would rather avoid dealing with that place, but we can check it out, see what it can do for us. But I rather keep the kid out of it, I can tell he's a half-demon like me, but he got power but doesn't have full control. His anger is his enemy." Dante explained to their leader.
"Very, well. I will take of it." Dante respond with a smiled to Doom.
"You should come with us, think about it. If we find some slaves to free who do you think will they think?" Dante smiled wanting to put thoughts in his leader mind.
"I was planning to go, the moment you spoke of slaves." Their leader looked away.
"Really why?" Dante rise an eyebrow.
"I too known what its like being a slave." Doctor Doom said in a cold tone.
Elsewhere: In the Kingdom of Ken
The Knights and Agents of the Holy Order searched high and low throughout their city and beyond to find the invaders that attacked Celestine but had no such luck.
Celestine was alone praying within her garden, however this time her garden was protected by the entrance. Seeing that she did foreseen their arrival caught her off guard and so she wished to see what going on within this future of these unknown men.
"You're not going to find anything on them, for they are not from this world."
Celestine gasp upon hearing the unknown, standing right beside her was a tall hooded man. Celestine quickly backed away from her as she ready her voice to scream, before she can say anything she noticed right away that the guards that were task to protect her was just standing there.
"Don't worry about your Knights, they're fine just frozen in time."
"F-frozen in time? B-b-ut how?!" She spoke in fear in her tongue.
"Relax, I just wish to speak with you, Lady Celestine. Now are you ready to hear me out?" Celestine stare at her unknown guest for a moment. She didn't like she couldn't see his face at all, only seeing nothing but darkness.
"Who are you?" She asked him.
"I'm Nobody. Nobody important my dear Goddess I am…just a man. Who…your life became an interest to me." He explained his reasons, in his own but same time never answering her question.
"Excuse me?" The Elf Goddess looked confused.
"Heh, sorry. What I mean is…" he paused for a moment to think "I am to aid you Lady Celestine. I come from a faraway place. I saw your land, your home, your country trapped in this cloud of Darkness. The light of this county…no this world is fading so fast. But this war that is the cause of this, yes?" The unknown man stared at the Goddess, as she stared back, wishing to see his face only saw darkness hiding his face.
"How did you know that? And how is it you know my name?" She asked him another question.
"Truth be told. I was told by someone else, and you are known throughout the land." He finally answered her a question.
"Who told you, may I ask?" She said in a kind voice.
"Sorry honey, but I can't tell ya…well at least not yet. It really depends how, you and your girls do well against the chosen heroes and the heroes after them. While that the same time win this war." The hooded man chuckled.
"What do you mean chosen heroes and heroes after them? What's going on here? Answer me and no more secrets." The hooded man smirked as he felt bit of anger in Celestine's voice this time.
"Very well there's six heroes, summoned by another force to this world of yours. Each of these six heroes have come a different era in time and space and another dimension, but I brought or rather summon another bunch to this world of yours as a bonus. Oh hahah, Olga gonna be maddd when she's finds out hahah, oh don't tell her ok? It's support to be a secret."
"Wait, you're working for Dark Queen Olga!" Celestine shouted in surprise tone.
"Yes, but also a very big no" The hooded man turned away from Celestine.
"I am just making things bit fair. But at the same time, I want her to keep coming back to me and ask me to bring more champions to her. Oh…wait did I just say that out loud?" The Hooded man looked back to see Celestine stood there standing still with a very confuse look on her beautiful face.
"Ok, let me tell you straight up. Six heroes have come to your world, their goal is to find you and protect you from a very, very bad ending to your story, Lady Celestine. You may ask yourself, should I trust this man's words? And to answer your question, it's yes." He simply told her.
"As of now your rival, Olga the dark Queen, now has two guardians of great power. She will used them to bring ruin to your country and to win this war once and for all. And the reason why you can't looked into the future of these new warriors is because you can't see the future of those who don't belong here."
"What should I do? Where can I find these six heroes? Please tell me. If you say is true then I must seek them." Celestine looked at the hooded man as if he was her only hope.
"Just wait." He told her.
"Huh? Just wait?" She asked.
"Yes, just wait. Your heroes were here, you met them but your Knights scared them off after a little…mistake. So fear not and believe my words, just wait Lady Celestine. The heroes shall come to you, believe in the holy light of your power, see within the Hope that will give you a new future."
"A new hope…" Celestine took in the thought of what these heroes can bring.
"Well then, sorry for confusing you but I have to go. I can't stay here for long my power have a limit ya know."
"Wait before you go-
"Sorry, no more questions. See ya later Goddess." The hooded man faded into nothing right before Celestine's eyes.
'Six Heroes…new hope, my guardians? I've met them before? But when did that happen?' Celestine wonder when did such a encounter happen?
Elsewhere with the Heroes: After Breakfast: Three Miles Away
"Let's go gentlemen." The Team Leader said.
Dante, Deadpool and Spiderman set out to the city that was down the road, Doctor Doom changed his mind and had Naruto and Bob stayed behind with the people to ensure the safety of the villagers just in case this place was a danger to them.
The team parked the carriage near the entrance of the forest while Dante, Deadpool, Spiderman and Doctor Doom journey to the city best known for its slave market.
-The Slave Market- Few Minutes later
"Well, this is fucking depressing." Deadpool said while staring at something.
"Your, not kidding this is really, depressing." Spiderman responded.
"Come on guys, I don't like it either, we got a mission to do. Maybe during overtime we'll come back and have after hours here." The Devil Hunter while walking with Doctor Doom.
Spiderman and Deadpool stand there, while the pair of many eyes staring back at them, behind a large metal cage. Inside a large before the two heroes, were large number of people. But however, these were not any normal people, there were humans there of course, there were other larger cages.
Within the cages in front of the two heroes, they saw animals, and animals with human form, a humanoid form for those were beast-kin or demi-humans as many people of this world would call them.
"Please…help us." One of the demi-humans spoke.
"Please, buy us!" Another begged.
"Yes, you look like good person, please!" A third one begged.
"Please…" A fourth begged as well.
Spiderman and Deadpool couldn't look at them, they wish they can help them but.
"Gentlemen what are you doing? Let's go." Doctor Doom's voice was heard.
They were told not to play hero, at least not yet. But the desire to help and free those enslave burn deeply within their hearts especially Spiderman's.
Suddenly just before the two turned around, something grabbed Deadpool's right hand, the Merc with the mouth looked to see what grabbed him.
What grabbed him was a person, a young girl, she had long brown hair. She had a metal collar around her neck, Deadpool gasp for a moment, for he saw her face. The young girl had a large ugly burn scar across her face, her left eye was white showing the signs of a blind eye.
"P-p-p-p-please don't leave. Y-y-y-you look like a nice p-p-p-person, I can tell the s-s-sprits told me." The young girl stunner.
"Mr. Wade!" Doctor Doom called him.
"I'll be there Doc, I'll caught up with you in a moment." Deadpool said, the sound of his voice sounded serious.
Doctor Doom stare at the two for a moment, Deadpool looked back at his Team Leader as did Spiderman.
Doctor Doom snapped his finger as a small brown bag appeared in his right hand, he threw it at the two heroes as Spiderman caught it and looked inside the bag and only saw jewels, gems and gold coins.
"What's that?" Dante asked.
"Since we are here, I will give those two a bag that they will share, if they wish to buy something, they can. But the choice falls on them and them alone, we are here for information and location of this world. In time we will find our new base or home." Doctor Doom explained.
"Why not here? It's a big place, just need to move some trash and we got a nice place people can live here." Dante said with a smiled.
"Hey! These people are not trash, their slaves, capture and imprison." Spiderman yell.
"Hey there, cool it. I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about those who let this happen. If I had a choice I was break soul of those cages, we here we don't know who's the enemy? Be it demon or human…you guys are smart. You know the rest." Dante walked away after finishing saying his peace.
"Yeah, I understand, Dante." Spiderman gripped the bag.
"After your done meet us in the food market." Doctor Doom following after Dante, leaving Spiderman and Deadpool to do with their wishes with the money they were given.
Deadpool looked back at the young girl.
"Well today's your lucky day kiddo. You get your freedom." The young girl smiled.
"Please buys us as well!" A woman with cat ears yell. Behind her were six other cat demi-humans.
"Yes! Buy me as well, please!" Another one begged.
"Let's see that's about…fifty…fifty inside a large cage alone, where did they get this many?" Spiderman asked.
"Slave hunters." A voice spoke coming from another cage.
"Come again?" Spiderman walked over to the second cage.
Inside the cage was filled with elves, be they male, females, young, old, normal, high or dark. The cage held different kind of elves. But Spiderman saw the other elves were staying away from the dark elves inside the cage.
The person talking to the heroes was a dark elf, a female dark elf. Her height was unknown due to she was sitting down in the cage. Her skin was brown colored, her hair was white. Her eyes were brown colored. Her bust size at least around D cup, she covered her breasts with her arms, keeping them folded. Much like the rest of the elves within the cage she was naked. She wore a metal collar around her neck.
"How much you know about this land?" Deadpool was the one who spoke this time.
"I'm over five hundred years old. I know this land." The Dark Elf said, she sighs with her eyes closed. But her eyes open upon hearing a strange noise. She looked to see Spiderman looking in the special bag Doctor Doom gave him. Beside Spiderman, she saw Deadpool grabbing a man who is in charge of the slaves, Deadpool was shaking the man to get answers out of him.
"Hey, how much is for fifty of them, plus the dark elf?" Spiderman asked the slaver-owner.
"I can't sell you them." He spoke.
Deadpool took out his handgun and let out a warning shoot into the air.
"Why the fuck not?"
"Because the slaves in those cages are already bought. They been paid off. Sorry you can't buy them." The man said.
"Who's buying them?" Spiderman asked.
"I can't tell you." The man gulp down a spit.
Spiderman let out a small sigh, stuck in a unknown world of fantasy and other things. Being team up with one villain, a psycho with a big mouth, a devil hunter, a rookie ninja and a fat man. Sure he didn't want to draw attention, but he was a hero damnit. This was something Spiderman couldn't turn his head too.
"Sorry but you better tell those buyers they're not getting any slaves. These are not slaves, these are people, living beings. Not items, not tools to be used. These are living, thinking being, especially the young ones. I'm freeing them and you can't stop me. If you get in my way, you wouldn't want see me angry." Spiderman grab a piece of the cage and easily broke it off.
"H-h-holy God." The man started to sweat.
"Trust me, you wouldn't want this guy mad, he's not afraid to beat you to an inch of your life. I mean good news you'll live, bad news your body will be broken. So if I was you I won't give this guy, Bullshit." Deadpool chuckled.
"I'm telling you the truth. I can't tell you because I don't know who want the slaves. I only sold them and the buyer's men that come and take the slaves away. I don't know the buyers, only they enjoyed buying female elves and young children, especially if their demi-human." The slave owner told the two.
"Wait…your telling me your selling them, to a person you never met?" Spiderman looked shocked yet angry, very angry.
"They pay me in gold, lots of gold. Who am I to question who the person is. They want slaves I give them slaves, easy money easy pay." The man chuckle for a moment before frowning.
"How many children have you sell off?" Deadpool asked the question this time.
"It was about one hundred last time wh-"
BANG!
The man gasp with his eyes widen in shock. There was a hole in his throat. Deadpool stand there holding out his handgun, he shot the man without looking at him.
"I've heard enough." He shot the slaver owner again.
BANG!
The demi-human slaves within the cages covered their ears from the sound of gunfire in fear, while others smiled with joy as their slave owner was dead, hoping these two men will free them.
"So, have I…but could ya-"
"Look web-head, I got my style of dealing with shit-bags and so do you. He just told me he sells children with a smile, and if you remember I LOVE KIDS, and also, I have A DAUGHTER! So, you can understand my reason. Beside I can't stand person who can do this without a second thought." Deadpool kicked the slave owner corpse.
"Beside what if it was someone you knew he just sold huh?"
"I hear ya. Now I think we should do something before someone came here and find…him…ya know. Dead!" Spiderman pointed at the corpse of the slave owner.
"And I do agree with Naruto now, guns are loud, and you do have knives on you." He smirked under his mask.
"Please don't start that again." Deadpool sighed.
Deadpool looked at all the slave cages within this area, there was ton of slaves locked inside what seem to be sixty to eighty cages.
"Ok, who shall we free first?" Deadpool asked around, while rubbing his hands together.
"Why are you freeing us? Surely you planning to keep us for yourselves." The Female Dark Elf in the Cage spoke.
"Nope, we came here for supplies, but now we're taking you all. I just hope we got enough room for hundred more." Spiderman sighed.
"Think of this web-head, this will be triple bonus on our Good-Deeds." Deadpool laughed.
Elsewhere: With Dante and Doctor Doom:
"This place is Hell." The Devil Hunter with an emotionless tone.
"On that I agree." Victor Von Doom said with a single nod.
The two heroes stand within a large crowd as they watched before their eyes, a slave auction was happening right now.
"Tsk." Dante frown. He grips his hands into a fist.
"Don't let it get to you." Doom said.
"You make it sound normal Victor." Dante glared at his partner.
"For this world, maybe it is normal. But all of this change very soon. For now, Dante just accept it, once we place our foot in this world. We will change a lot of things, this will be one of the first of many things I will banish. I promise you." Doctor Doom crossed his arms over his chest.
"And Dante, do not call me why my first name or I will cast you to the moon." He glared at the devil hunter.
"I hold you to that Doc. Now if you excuse me I got better thing to look at." Dante walked away.
'This land is too dirty I can feel it. Now if I let them have their fun, freeing these slaves will placed a trust of us in their hearts. I dislike slavery, so many women and children being offer to these buyers.' Victor thought to himself.
Then he saw something interesting going on the stage where the slave auction was happening. Stepping onto the stage of the auction was a large tall Gorilla wearing chains around his hands, feet and neck. The Gorilla wore a large brown cloth around it bottom half of its body. But there was something off about this Gorilla, Victor Can feel it just by looking at it.
After the Gorilla, there was a woman wearing a heavy chain around her neck. She had paired of wolf ears on the top of her head, she was butt naked. The woman was a demi-human of human and wolf blood. The woman looked at the Gorilla for a moment, before looking to her right to see the third person walking on the stage.
The third person walking on the stage was a woman holding a child in her arms, the woman was a female human, like the wolf woman before her she was butt naked with a heavy chain around her neck. The child in the woman's arms was a young demi-human child around the age of three at least. The child had cat ear along with a short little cat tail.
'They look worth buying, I don't know why. But something telling me they will help us…hnmp, wonder if it's that Goddess of harmony whisper her voice in our heads.' Doctor Doom wonder to himself.
'Doesn't matter, these thoughts are Doom's and Doom's alone. Time for me to play the Hero.'
Doctor walked towards the stage, upon arriving at the front of the stage. Victor saw number of buyers just waiting to see who can out money who, before the betting can start.
On stage there was a tall man dressed in black robes. He smiled upon seeing many willing to buy these slaves, if not just here to see what was going on, he didn't care for anyway he's going to make money off these slaves.
"Hello all! Thank you for coming to this week slave auction, this week we have some new lovely new items to be sold. Now shall we start with our first three." The man in robed smiled.
Doctor Doom turned his attention on the Gorilla that was force to step forward to the stage.
"We caught this one few days ago, this isn't just any normal monkey." The man chuckled.
Suddenly the Gorilla growl and roared at the man.
"I am not a monkey, I'm an APE!" the Gorilla spoke which shock everyone, but only made Doctor Doom curious.
"You attack my friends! I'll make you pay!" The talking Gorilla growl to the point of its skin was turning red from anger. However, the Gorilla anger soon vanish he saw guards holding weapons against the other slaves that were brought with him.
"Now, this powerful…Ape was founded in the forest not too far from this very place. He talks, he clams to be very smart and-"
"My name is Winston! And I am a SCIENTIST! What have you done with my friends!" He roared.
"Yes, yes, yes. Your friends are safe they escape, we were able to only capture you, stupid monkey. Now we can start the betting with fifty gold coins. Any buyers?" The man asked, looking around to see if anyone was willing to buy this ape?
For a moment no one placed their bets on this talking ape, either most wasn't interested in it or was scared of the ape, but then a voice spoke.
"Fifty gold for the ape."
All heads turned to see the person who spoke, it was Doctor Doom.
"Anyone else? Any other buyers?" The man asked the crowd.
There were silences, a heavy silence.
"Very well, you are Dear Sir?" The man asked.
"I am Victor Von Doom, Ruler of the Latveria. Please call me DOCTOR DOOM!" He introduced himself to all within the slave auction.
"Well, well we got yourself a King here, ladies and gentlemen! I hope your visit this my City will be remember Mr. Doom." The man smiled, Doom respond with a deep glare.
"Now, then on our next slave to buy. I know how my buyers loves Demi-Humans, and this will surely be great for you all. Taken from her-"
"I'll buy her too." Doom said.
"Whoa there, I didn't even tell you who she-"
"I don't care if you tell me or not. I would prefer if she told me herself." Doctor Doom told the Host of the Slave Auction.
The Host of the Slave Auction looked slightly annoyed by Doom's suddenly bust in, he didn't get the chance display the slave or tell the others who she was.
"Anyway, now our third slave is a double bonus. The mother is only for sixty gold, but the child I'll throw in for free. But if you wish you can buy the mother only." The man grinned.
"No, please don't! Don't take my baby from me." The slave woman begged.
"I'll buy her too." Doom said in a calm tone "And the child."
The woman looked afraid, she wasn't sure why Doom was buying them right off the bat without even letting the other buyers have their chance.
Suddenly one of the slave buyers grabbed Doctor Doom by his right shoulder, which was their greatest mistake.
"Hey, man I came here to buy some slaves, if you take all the females we won't-"
BAM!
The person was pushed away by an unknown force.
"Keep your dirty hands to yourself, fiend. You dare touched the Ruler of Latveria! NOT SHALL LAY A FINGER ON DOOM!" Doom yelled.
"Whoa there, no need to draw blood here people." The Host said.
"As if Doom will waste his time on such dirt." Doom turned away, looking back at the stage where the slaves were.
"Um, one question Mr. Doom. You're not going to buy every slave we got, I mean you don't have enough to buy them all." The Host chuckle lightly, but quickly frown the moment he saw a giant bag filled with gold and gems suddenly appeared beside Doctor Doom.
"One should learn to never question Doom. Its poor for your health, now then show me the other slaves, I am a man of a Kingdom. A King needs people to make a Kingdom strong." Doctor Doom snapped his fingers, the chains that once held the slaves suddenly dropped.
"Don't you mean slaves?" The Host tried to correct him.
Doctor Doom suddenly chuckled.
"You must be joking to think that I! Victor Von Doom, was like those dirty fiendish Kings? Doom does not do jokes! Now show me the others you have imprison or face a fate worst then Death!" He ordered the Host of the slave auction. The slaves that Doctor Doom freed jumped down from the stage, joining his side.
"Now then shall we counited?"
"Ok next up is a former ruler…heh I think this one will fit right for you Mr. Doom. I think you might love this one." The host laughed.
"Shut up and show me." He told the Host.
Unlike the other slaves that were brought up, this slave was a special one. Doom could tell by how that present her to him, Unlike the other slaves he saw, this slave still wore her clothed or what remain of them, she wore a silver and black dress and from the looks of it, it was a royal dress. She was chain by her hands that link to a chain around her neck.
The appearance of the woman was outstanding, though a slave she was still view as beautiful to many eyes. She had long red hair that stopped to her hips, she had large breasts which were expose due to her dress being torn. But what caught Doctor Doom's attention the most was her eyes, her brown beautiful eyes. She had a sign of life within her eyes, her mind was not broken, or rather it refused to break, she had a strong will, her eyes shown it.
"No matter what you do or who you sell me too, I WILL NOT BREAK!" The woman shouted.
"Tell me, what is your name milady?" Doctor Doom said, showing sign of respect towards the woman.
"Mary, I am Mary…former Queen…I will have my revenge one day…you or the next buyer won't break my spirit." She stared at Doctor Doom with look of hate.
"And what nation, I wish to learn about the one who will become my guest, so what nation did you come from?" He asked. His question caught her off guard, usually the person would make a command about breaking her or crushing her hope or talking about how much they wanna fuck her, but this one was different.
"It doesn't matter, I am your slave I take it you're the one buying me." She frowned.
"Yes, but do not worry Mary. You are in good hands, I wish to hear your story. If you are who you say you are, then I wish to know how a Queen become a slave." Doom snapped his finger as Mary's chains vanish.
Doctor Doom reached out his hand to Mary, Mary looked at the other slaves Doom had freed, each of them have given a nod to Mary.
"Take my hand, and you will never be in chains ever again. You have my word."
"A promise can easily be broken." She said while frowning.
"Yes, but a promise with Doom is a promise that will never be broken. Doom has never failed and Doom will never fail. Doom has always kept his promises even if it cost him his soul." Mary didn't know why, but hearing Doctor Doom speak such words of putting him in danger if he broke such a promise, place a trust in her wounded heart. This man was different from any male she has ever met, he looked like someone of royalty, someone she can trust maybe?
"If you betray me, I will kill you." Mary took Doctor Doom's hand as he helped her down from the stage.
"Mary, that will never come, I ensure you." He bow his head gentlemen style showing his respect to Mary, as Mary gently bow her head to him returning the respect.
"Now then, who's next?" Doom asked.
Elsewhere: Dante's Location
"Hmm." Dante stand there thinking.
"What do you say dear sir, see anything you like?" In front of Dante was a short elderly man offering him some food, there was apples, grapes, oranges, and other fruits.
"I'll take a full bag of apples my good man." Dante smiled.
The elderly man gathered a bag full of apples for the devil hunter. Dante gave the old man twenty gold coins.
"Sir what are you gathering these apples for?" He asked the Devil Hunter.
"Just saving it for something special. Now if I were you old man I do business else. I think it's bad to have a store like this place in a city known for slaves buyers. This whole place is shit." Dante sigh with a large frown.
"Well…I am not here by choice." The old man shown Dante a chain wrapped around his left leg.
"You're a slave too?" The old man responds a nod to Dante's question.
"Man this place sucks, who sold you?" He asked.
"Myself." The old man answered with a calm voice.
"What?" The Devil Hunter looked confuse.
"It's rough in these lands, making money, buying food. It's really…what was the word you just used?" He tried to rethink the word, the devil hunter said.
"Shit?" He asked while smirking.
"Yes, that's the one. Its fit how I feel. I did it to support my family…but it's hard to bring money back to the family once your slave. I sell food to people, they buy and I keep half of the money I make from each buyer. It's been only a year since I made myself a slave to the owner of this city." The old man explains his reasons being a slave.
Dante kept frowning, he felt a deep sorrow for the old man standing in front of him.
"Don't pity me, I did what I had to do. My family lives in a danger land yet peacefully." The old man sigh.
"What ya mean?" Dante asked.
"They lived in the land of Eosita in the city of Feoh, I heard it's a good land, the ruler there is a good person. But hearing the war between them and the Dark Queen. Make things tough, I wish to see my family again, I am a grandfather of six." The old man sighed.
Dante closed his eyes for a moment, he grew a smiled.
"I'll be back old man. Trust me we'll see each other real soon." He walked off wave farewell to the old man.
"If we do, young man, if we do." The old man smirked.
Dante walked downward into the slave market, he left the food and item market. He wanted to do something about the slaves. He went to look for Doctor Doom and the others, he had a plan a big one.
But Dante suddenly stopped. He felt something odd in the air as if there was someone watching him. Looking around he saw no one but suddenly he looked to his right to see a pair of orange eyes looking at him.
The orange pair of eyes staring at the devil hunter belong to a young girl, the young girl who looked about the age of seven or eight stared at Dante behind a metal cage, within the metal cage there were several other people inside, slaves.
Out of all the slaves within the metal cage the only one who draw Dante's attention the most, was the little girl who's stare got the hunter's attention.
Dante reached inside the bag he bought and pulled out an apple and held it to the metal cage.
"Want one?" he asked the little girl.
The little girl only stared at him, her stare was powerful, her orange eyes had a strange look in them as if they were flowing with energy or power.
"Do. You. Want. An Apple?" He spoke slowly to the little girl.
The little girl nodded her head.
"Come on, come here." Dante reach out his arm to the metal bars, close enough for the little to girl to grab the apple.
Getting close to the devil hunter, he could see the appearance of the little girl clearly now. Along with her orange eyes with her features of rare, her hair was white as snow. Her skin was brown as the dirt on fresh soil, but the biggest thing about her was, her ears. Long and pointy, she was an elf, a Dark Elf.
Much like the rest of the slaves Dante have seen from this twisted place, they all were wearing metal collars while being butt naked for all to see.
But at a moment, Dante saw a small scar around the little girl's neck as she lowers her head to show thanks to the devil hunter. But to what surprise Dante wasn't the fact she didn't eat the apple but rather she broke it into two. She walked over to a person, another child a dark elf like her.
"If your going to feed the slaves, you might as well buy them." A voice spoken behind Dante.
Looking over at his right shoulder, the white hair man saw a tall man wearing only a vest with brown pants with black shoes. His face appearance was ugly with scars on his nose and a missing tooth.
"Ha-ha-ha." Dante chuckled "Sorry about that, didn't know I couldn't feed them. They looked hungry."
"You must be new around here." The ugly man said with a frown.
"Yeah I am." Dante said with an honest voice.
"So, since you're here what ya buying? I see you looking at the children for a while. Looking for young meat?" The man asked.
"Young meat?" Dante looked confuse.
"You know…" The ugly man threw a sign for devil hunter to caught on.
"OH GOD NO! I'M NOT LIKE THAT!" He shouted.
"Ok. Ok. Ok. I get ya. I thought you were…" Dante glared at the ugly man "I mean you kept smiling at the children so..."
"I'm not a sicko." Dante defended himself.
"Are you buying or just looking?" The man asked again.
"Well what ya got beside children?" He asked.
"Mostly Demi-humans, Elves, Beast. I just ran out of humans a minute ago. Some guy I heard is buying lot of slaves. Not sure who he is, but hell whatever more money." The ugly man laughed.
'That must be Doom or is Spiderman and Deadpool?' Dante thought.
"Well, I am a gentleman, and also I have a thing for the ladies." Dante laughed.
"Elf and Demi-human should do for ya, Unless you're into beast women?" The man said while offering a deal with Dante.
"I like them, cute, strong and little thick ya get what I'm saying." Dante said playing along with the slaver-seller.
"One moment." The ugly man walked into the back of his store.
Dante looked to his right and saw not only the little girl he met before, but now there were other children looking at him with their hands reaching of the metal gate.
"Want food?" The children respond with many nods.
"Ok Sir. How about this one." The ugly man walked out of his store. Hearing the sound of heavy chains swinging got Dante's attention.
Standing before Dante was a beast or demi-human, he wasn't sure what he was looking it, but it was female. Standing about 6'8 of height, the female had a large red horn in the center of her forehead. She had long brownish-red hair. Her eyes were green colored, she had tusk peaking out from the bottom of her mouth. Her skin color light pink. Much like the rest of the slaves she was naked. She had large breasts, bigger any human size female. Her hips were big and thick, good for breeding.
"What ya think?" the man asked Dante.
"How the hell, did you capture an Oni?" He asked the man while not breaking his stare on the female Oni.
"Oh, that's what their called huh? Funny the one who sold me her, they told me she's an Orc. Well if a sex-slave of this type isn't your thing, take her as your bodyguard. And how this got one caught? Well let just say we caught this one at a bad time." The ugly man cough at the last part, which cause the female Oni to growl for a moment.
Dante took out the bag of money Doctor Doom gave him.
"How about we make a deal, you sell me every slave you got and I'll give you all of these." Dante took out a gold and silver coin and one large gem stone.
"I don't kn-" Dante quickly threw the whole bag at the ugly man, however the ugly man didn't catch it in time as bang was heard for a moment as the ugly man felt a hole leaking from his forehead, he fell to his knees as the last he saw before he died was Dante looking down at him.
"Sorry I don't make deal with bad guys." Dante picked up the bag. He looked at the female Oni who was staring at him.
"What's up Big Betty?" He said already giving the female Oni a nickname.
"You're not like the other humans. You smell different…why?" A deep strong spoke from the female Oni.
"To answer your question beautiful, I'm half human and half demon. Best of both worlds my mother use to tell me. Now then I'll set ya free if you help me." He said with a smiled.
"What is your wish half-breed? You wish to mate with me?" She asked him, she smiled.
"Um…no…actually I just need your help to free all the slaves in this guy shop. I got friends with me, and like me they're not the bad guys. We're good guys, heroes." He explain as the female oni nodded.
Dante shot the lock off the metal cage that held the children. The children gather around Dante holding out their hands to him.
"As promise." He shown them the bag of apples.
"Now to free the other-"
KABOOM!
The sound of an explosion was heard closed by.
"Ok that was Deadpool without a doubt." The Devil Hunter said with a deadpan face while sweatdropping.
"FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FOR ALL FREEDOM!" Deadpool's voice was heard.
Suddenly Dante saw a group of knight soldier in dark green colors matching into the slave market selection freeing all slaves that were on display and kept inside their own storage while at the same time putting handcuff on the slave sellers.
"What's going on?" Dante asked himself.
"You there." A soldier walked over to the devil hunter.
"Yeah?" Dante said.
"Are you Sir Dante, son of legendary Dark Knight?" The Soldier asked.
"Yeah, I am. Who's calling?" Dante looked serious.
"Lord Doom wishes for you to meet you at the entrance of the city, he said it is time to leave." The Knight explained.
'Something tells me Doom just bought the whole damn city. Well. Better go see what Boss man wants.' Dante chuckle.
Moment later:
"YOU BOUGHT EVERYTHING!" Spiderman yelled in shock.
"And Everyone." Doctor Doom added.
"HOW!" Spiderman, Dante and Deadpool shout.
"DOOM CAN HAVE ANYTHING HE WISHES!" Doctor Doom respond with a yell with pride in his voice.
"You can't be serious, you bought everything within this shit-hole?" Dante looked greatly bother.
"Dante, you surly know not to doubt me or my power. Beside in order to place our foot in this land, a Kingdom is needed and of course, those slaves are people, be they demi-humans or not they deserve freedom and I have also gain the information of every slaves within this city and other locations within this land. Also freeing these slaves will put good words for us, especially since every slave here were bought here be it kidnapping or they were sold." He explained to his devil hunter ally.
"Don't you mean you found the owner of this place and beat the shit out of him, right Doc?" Deadpool chuckled "And true saving these people will put good word in for us, you wouldn't believe how many children were being sold to be someone play-thing."
"Anyway, where did these soldiers come from?" Dante asked, looking around seeing the soldier bringing group or small group of slave owners in chains.
"Those were also slaves I freed. They were warriors from a fallen Kingdom. I found them and offer them a new job, they accept with grace. Now then I am sure Bob and Naruto is waiting for us. It has been three hours since we left them." Doctor Doom explain.
"Huh, its been that long. It felt so short." Deadpool sighed.
"As you once said Mr. Wade. Time fly while you're having fun. Now then Dante I will have my men bring the slaves you have with you to the resting point." Doctor Doom snapped his finger.
Dante watched the slaves that he freed were taken by four soldiers. While they were being taken away to a safe place. The young dark elf girl looked at Dante as if she was worried, Dante smiled giving her 'your going to be fine' look.
"Resting point, what's that?" The Devil Hunter asked.
"It's spot me and Deadpool found, its big area there seem to be some magic pool there. Guess those bastards used it to heal any wounded slaves they bring in." Spiderman guessed.
"Don't tell me we're gonna use this place as our hideout. I don't think the people with us or the ones that we free would like that." Dante sigh while rubbing his forehead.
"We're not." Doctor Doom said.
"Wait, then what-" Doctor Doom cut Dante off.
"This place will be destroyed. This land is dirty, filled with scum and those will the mind to shatter peace and so our journey goes on. We are taking the slaves with us." Doctor Doom walked away.
"Hey…hey, hey!" Dante shouted "WE GOT FIFTY PEOPLE ALREADY! I don't think we got enough space for everyone."
Doctor Doom stopped and look over his right shoulder.
"Please, Dante. There's nothing Doom can't handle." He walked on while the group of soldiers company him.
"So, we're destroying this place huh. Before we do, we gotta make sure we don't leave any slaves behind. Now where has we haven't check yet." Dante sigh while thinking.
"Don't worry about that Dante, Me and Deadpool have check the other spots before Doom brought in extra help." Spiderman told the white hair hunter.
"YES! I CAN BLOW THIS PLACE TO HELL YA-HA-AH-AH-HA!" Deadpool cheered.
-Resting Point-
Dante follow Spiderman and Deadpool to where this resting point was. Dante looked amaze at the number of people, humans, elves, demi-humans and much, much more who were enslaved.
It was a large over size view of a large lake but seeing how many people were in the lake, Dante agree with the others, it did look like a pool. His mind wonders how many people did they just set free from the life of a slave?
"Four hundred and forty six lives were enslaved." Doctor Doom spoke.
"Not nice to read your teammates mind huh, Doc." Dante frown with a stare.
"Please, your face said it all. Worry not I will ask these people if they wish to stay with us be on their merry way." Doctor Doom cast out his view to the people in the giant lake, be they healing their wounds from being a slave or using the lake to wash themselves, it didn't matter to the leader of heroes.
Suddenly Deadpool took out a large speak from nowhere, grabbing on the microphone on the top of the speaker, he spoke as his voice echoes to the free slaves.
"Test, test, test 1, 2,3. Hello can everyone hear me?"
The heroes can see most of the people had their ears covered from the loud speaker.
"How about turning it down to six and not ten." Spiderman said.
"Hmm, good point."
"Give me that." Doctor Doom grabbed the microphone from Deadpool's hand.
"Hello everyone, be you human, elves, demi-human or else. I am Victor Von Doom, I am the Leader of the team of Heroes whom have saved you all from the life of slavery. I do not know how long have you been a slave nor do I know where you were taken from. But I do know, your all scared, afraid for what will happen to you all next." Doctor Doom can see it in their eyes, fear, confusion and doubt. These eyes were familiar to him, for him these were the eyes of his people before he become the King of his homeland.
"I promise you, be you believe to me or not. But listen to me, beyond this land are dangers, danger that may take you back being a slave or worst. But joined me and my fellow heroes in our quest. To build a home, a nation, a county, a Kingdom, a land where all is welcome. A place where anyone of any race can feel welcome with open arms with this age of peace." He counited on his speech wanting these free slaves to open their hearts to him.
"A nation where betrayal and war are nothing but stories of the past, I know how you feel, I truly do. I see it in your eyes, fear, doubt and confusion. Come with us and we will strip those thoughts away, you will never feel fear ever again." Doctor Doom can see most of them started to agree with this idea, while others looked worried. Especially the elves and demi-humans.
"If you doubt me…so be it, be knowing this you will destroy the only thing that ever cared about your lives. I know to some of you, the demi-humans are very confused but I ensure you, you will be treated with love and care and respect. My fellow members, Spiderman is curse by a spider demon's bite. And my friend Dante, is only half human, for his father was a demon who impregnate his human mother and left them to die." Doctor Doom looked at his teammates hoping they play along with him as he made up half of their origin.
"And what about me?" Deadpool asked.
"Mr. Wade have suffered in life for being different, the poor soul…being judge by his appearance so much he was force to wear a mask." Doctor Doom quickly going over Deadpool as he went back to focus on the slaves.
"Think we should play along?" Spiderman whisper to Dante.
"I guess so, but we are a team that is true." Dante smirked.
"WHAT HE SAID IS TRUE!" Dante shout.
Dante took the Mic from Doctor Doom and started to tell the slave his point and view of Doctor Doom. Making up a lie was an easy thing to do, but making a believable lie is difficult especially some races can that your lying.
"Doctor Doom, is a nice man. But strike terror in the hearts of his enemies. He found me barely alive, my mother and my older brother were murdered by the demons, He gave me a second chance at life, so please don't throw away this chance he's giving you." Dante lied and yet gave some truth in his origin.
Deadpool took the mic next.
"Now everyone, listen good and listen well. Trust me these guys with me, are the best damn heroes your ever gonna find. Trust me, if a hero or a King ever care about his people wouldn't he come and save them? What about you? Did you come from another Kingdom? Or a land or maybe a village. Did the leader of your home came here to fight for you, no? What I'm trying to say is that Doctor Doom here, may seem scary at first, but once you get to know him, you'll know is the only King that will give a damn if a single one of you goes missing." Deadpool dropped the mic, only for Spiderman to catch it.
"I GIVE YOU A CHOICE! COME WITH US OR LET THE WORLD CHOOSE YOUR FATE!" Doctor Doom shouted for all to hear him.
There was silence, a long moment of silences.
"And in return, what would you have us give you?" A voice spoke, it belongs to a woman.
The woman stands tall, but she was shaking with fear. The appearance of the woman was poor, she was an elf, her left ear was cut in half while her right ear seems fine, the right side of her face had a burn scar over it. Her right eye was white showing sign of a blind eye. She was clothed as the other slaves thanks to Doctor Doom.
"Your love and loyalty is the only thing we wish to have." Doctor Doom answer the Elf's question.
"Is that true?" Spoke a human man.
"Yup." Dante said with a grin.
"Truly?" Spoke a demi-human this time.
"Hey, we're heroes and that's our honest answer." Spiderman spoke while giving the slaves a thump up.
"W-w-w-what Nation you come from?" The Elf asked the heroes.
Dante, Spiderman and Deadpool looked at their boss for that answer. Doctor Doom smiled behind iron mask.
"Latveria. But do not fear for those wounded by life and the war that cost the lives of many, With me you will never be harm ever again." Doctor Doom said.
"How can we be sure? You might be like those pretty-face noble who won't give a shit about us, those who have scars." said a scar-face man.
Doctor Doom took off his mask and shown everyone his face. Many gasp with the look of shock upon seeing his face, Doom put his mask back on.
"As I said, I welcome you all no matter what scars you may." Soon the sound of people cheering his name began to echo.
"So, I take it everything good to go huh, Boss?" Spiderman asked their leader.
"Yes, would kindly tell those two we're done here." Doctor Doom spoke of Naruto and Bob. Deadpool took out a small radio from his pocket.
"Hey Foxy-ninja, this is Mech with a mouth we got everything cover over here over."
"Finally took you guys long enough so what's going on, over."
"Found out the place is a mega slave trader market, we took care of that, and we save a lot of lives today kiddo, anything fun happen with you two, over."
"Yeah, a lot happen. We got few extra…people joining us, over."
"Explain, over."
"How about we meet you guys, over."
One moment later:
"Mr. Uzumaki explain…why do we have two maids tie up along with a princess knocked out." Doctor Doom said while having his arms cross over his chest.
"Ok listen, while we were waiting for you guys to return. Bob heard the sound of someone yelling for him, so me and him went to check it out, I left my shadow clones with the villagers just in case. So, we found a group of monsters attacking this carriage, they killed the driver and his horse and bam we kicked the monster ass, they ran away like a bunch of chickens."
"Get to the point. Why are these maids tie up and WHY IS THE PRINCESS OUT COLD!" Doctor Doom wanted answers, he wanted them now!
"I'm getting to that." Naruto sigh while glaring.
"Me and the kid, went to check on to see if there was anyone inside the carriage, the two maids attack me and the kid, so we had no choice but tie them up. The princess was already knocked out when we checked on her." Bob explain the rest of the story.
"Who is this Princess? She's dress in a very…unmanner style." Doctor Doom was bother how this young princess was dressed.
"Don't you dare touch Princess Prim!" One of the maids yelled.
"Whoa, easy there we're not going to hurt anyone. We're the good guys here." Dante said, trying to calm down the angry maids.
"So…Boss-man what do we do with them?" Deadpool asked.
"We take them with us." He said without a second thought.
"Excuse me?" one of the maids said.
"This land has no uses for us, we're already have our hands full. I do not wish to any more delays finding our new home for the time being. But for now, we take the Princess and her Maids with us. If they can give us some helpful information that would be lovely. Now gentlemen let's go." Doctor Doom got on the carriage.
"What? You guys hadn't found us a place to stay yet, oh come on!" Naruto sigh loudly.
"Not now Naruto, we can talk about that another time, be quick now." Doctor Doom said while the others Heroes helped everything get set for the next ride.
Bob grabbed the two maids and placed over both of his shoulders, while Naruto grabbed the Princess and had her piggyback on his back.
With his magic and abilities, Doctor Doom was able to make their carriage ability to carry more people, carrying the slaves along with the villagers that they saved, being protector became very important to those on watching duty.
The drivers were Doctor Doom and Dante while everyone else was inside the newly made carriage, within the magical carriage the inside look that giant field of flowers with places to sit and rest with the only way out was the door of the carriage. Everyone wasn't sure why Doctor Doom made it that way but it worked.
The watcher was Spiderman this time, his spider-sense would be very useful to the drivers, as Spiderman wanted to give Naruto a break this time.
"Ok where do this time? Who knows we might find another slave-market." Dante joked.
"I do agree with you, we just might find another one." Doctor Doom said while looking at the devil hunter.
"You know I was joking right?" He frowns.
"And I was serious." He stared at his partner.
"Well, boys from the look of the map, there should be a village not too far from here. Maybe you can make your Kingdom from there?" Spiderman said while looking at the Map of the world, Deadpool had.
"Also last time I check that slave city wasn't destroyed and where did you guys put the slave owners?" Dante asked Doctor Doom and Spiderman.
KABOOM!
Dante quickly looked back to see another giant cloud case by a giant set of explode. Dante quickly look back at Doctor Doom.
"The lives of those slave owners I do not care, I let Mr. Wade set their fate." The leader said in a cold tone of his voice.
"Heh…true, well this world better get use to us, there's gonna be a whole of lot of changing going on." Dante laughed.
"Hopefully the next place we visit is nice and doesn't get bombed." Spiderman said while looking at what was a city, but now only remain of smoke and fire.
Elsewhere in the land of the Dark Queen, a certain new comer appears within this land of darkness.
This person wore a black gi, his hair was dark red tie in a bun. He wore no shoes for he was barefoot, his skin was tanned. He wore a necklace of large prayer beads.
The man stood there with his arms crossed over his chest with his eyes closed as if he was waiting for something or someone.
'If you wish for the ultimate challenge, then listen to me. I shall give you a world filled with challengers and challenges that you may liked or loved. But first before you do, I want you to do a little favor for me. Its just one little thing, a test. To see if you are worthy.' A voice spoke in his head or rather was this a voice he remembered before coming to this world?
The man opened his eyes showing had black and crimson eyes.
'Your first test will be, I want you to assassinated the Dark Queen, Olga.'
