[GAME LOADED. WELCOME BACK!]

Taeko awoke getting off his cot to stretch to see a text from Abigail letting him know her mission with Penny was coming along fine. Penny had more pressing words with a voice recording.

"Taeko, I do want to warn you that it seems Joja is doing everything to cover their tracks about Deathgaze. I know we all agreed to take the money, but I can't help but be angry. Be careful out there, darling."

As he took the elevator down to the Meta Bordello to use one of their showers, Kyu had called him.

"I got an update for you, playa. Congrats on the NTR achievement." Kyu teased.

"Not really an achievement if the dude is an asexual fucker. I feel I might have put on Abia on a path to be a real fuck freak." Takeo remarked.

"Not your fault. Her husband ruined any normal relationship she could have had." Kyu dismissively said. "But now there's the matter of your prize. How about a free capture to round out your-"

"Mystique." Taeko stated.

"You son of a bitch." Kyu snarked. "Going for Rogue's…"

"Adopted mom, plus she's a shapeshifter. If anything, I was hoping to get her, especially after corrupting Rogue." Taeko remarked. "It can be done, right?"

"It can be done. Lucky for you, there's an abandoned timeline that we can snatch Mystique from. While it'll be free, given her shapeshifting, I will have charge you a hundred gra-"

"Do it. As long as it's on Level 4." Taeko interrupted.

"The add-ons will allow you to control her shapeshifting. As for the timeline I'm talking about, you're familiar with DTiberius right?"

"Oh…that actually works in my favor. She's already going to be a deviant…so how long will it take?" Taeko asked.

"By noon or tonight." Kyu said. "I'll bill you the gold when we get her."

She hung up and he went to shower. Thankfully, he could access his wardrobe from his Bordello office and went there after he was done showering to get dressed for the day. He settled to wear a jade tank top under a black and green SV Tunnelers varsity, black casual jeans, and slate round-toe boots. As left the office to go up to Peach's cell door, he got an interesting notice that he reset Peach to be in line for the 'story scenario' with Daisy.

"Momojiri Hime to Kiku Ana Hime." Taeko said to himself before looking that up. "Oh that doujin…well Daisy would take a while…but Peach's will be a cakewalk."

He decided to go to Princess Daisy's cell.

~[Entering Rupt Castle]~

There was no white room this time, instead he found himself in what was basically a castle. He'd get the text box saying that several captures were now in the castle. Princess Peach and Princess Daisy had their own rooms while Queen Grimhilde was in the castle dungeon.

[You can pick and choose characters to take out of their cells for a room in the castle and vice versa along with the control if they interact with each other or not. Captures in the castle will have their doors lead you directly to their room upon subsequent visits. You can also teleport to the castle from a safehouse when not on a mission.]

He was tempted to move Azula in, but he figured not just yet. He decided to go down to the dungeon first to see the evil queen. He supposed it was ironic having the first Disney princess…and then the first Disney queen. The dungeons had a vibe that reminded him of Impel Down, but his musing was cut off to see her chained up. The evil queen, Grimmhilde, was held up by her wrists.

By all means, she was gorgeous. If Snow White was the shade of pretty that was cute, Grimhilde was the refined shade. Her pale skin was rather smooth befitting her pouty lips with red lipstick, and perfectly shaped black eyebrows that appeared penciled on first glance. Her lime green eyes were her most striking feature having a bit of dark blue eyeshadow over them. She wore a purple gown with long sleeves and a red rope belt tied around her waist. Around her face, she had a black balaclava covering her ears, neck, and hair, leaving her face exposed. A lone lock of her dark hair hung out from the top of her covering. The cloak is lined with red inside with a high white collar attached to it. The bottom of the cloak is lined with white fur. A golden pendant that was connected to her collar. Despite the color scheme, she had bright orange-yellow high-heel pumps. To top off her royal appearance, a golden crown lay atop her head with five spikes on the front and a jewel on the tip of the middle and tallest spike.

She looked upon her captor. The clothing was odd to her, but she could be both well-built and far younger than her. Much older than Snow, but not much older than the meddlesome prince that her stepdaughter gushed about. Grimhilde took notice of features…to her it would be exotic. He towered over her, Snow, and the Prince. She assumed Taeko was a brute, and that she may be able to fool him.

"Ah, what a curious predicament I'm in, caught in the web of someone so... towering." Grimhilde said. "But I am at your mercy. A good queen knows when to surrender."

She hoped to play sympathy, but Taeko was seeing through it. Grimhilde tried to call upon her magic only to end up awkwardly farting in the room.

"Not the winds I wanted to produce!" She thought as she blushed.

"Is that so?" Taeko said as she kept trying to use her magic.

"Yes, I assure you…that I give up." Grimhilde said as he snapped his fingers.

The chains around her wrist opened and let her fall to the ground.

"You'll have to prove it. I did hear you are the fairest of your kingdom…and I wish to gaze upon your beauty without your royal robes." Taeko remarked as Grimhilde's thought processed paused hearing that. "But is it true?."

Grimhilde's breath caught, a momentary surprise flashing in her eyes. The audacity was almost amusing. After all, who wouldn't want to behold the fairest in all the land? Grimhilde had no desire to admit she was not, her ego would not allow for it. Her lips curved into a confident smile, the corners of her pride lifting as she reveled in the compliment.

"He knows the tales, but as far as he knows I am the fairest." She thought before saying, "Of course, it is. I am beauty incarnate."

With a flourish, she whipped off her cloak and balaclava to dramatically whip her chest length raven hair.

"Is this what you wanted? A glimpse of the fairest?" She said, her voice dripping with self-assuredness.

She took in again how taller he was as he lumbered over her.

"Not just a glimpse…to see all of it." Taeko said before taking a fistful of the gown.

She was caught off-guard by him tearing her gown off sending fabric to the floor. There was no doubt that Grimhilde was beautiful…by all means she was a model. Her body was slender with an hourglass figure to her. She was easily two sizes bigger than Snow White in the bust department and all with barely a sag. Lean was a good word to describe her taut tummy. Between her legs was a big tuft of dark pubic hair that covered her lady bits and taper off so as not to trail.

"I heard you obsessed over your vanity, but I don't understand why you do it when you clearly are oh so fine." Taeko said as Grimhilde squeaked from him grabbing one of her asschecks. "Firm, just the right amount of plump to it. Maybe a bit much…someone's been sitting on the throne all day. But that's fine."

She found herself turned around. She should be angry at being felt up like a piece of meat, but she found herself more aroused if anything. Maybe it was his imposing figure that did it for her, the power he subtly exhumed over her, or her current powerlessness…it was doing something for her.

"Well, you'll fit right in with the harem." Taeko said to her surprise.

"Harem?" She said in surprise. "You've taken other queens?"

"Queens, no? Princesses, yes. You'll meet in due time…when you're ready. I can't make you think that they are competition."

"Competition? They are not, I am a queen." Grimhilde said. "But will you be taking me out of this dungeon?"

"Follow me." Taeko said.

She was led to a bedroom, one fit for a queen that even in her colors. She was tossed right onto the bed as he took off his jacket. She watched him slowly disrobe seeing his muscled body before seeing the dark rod between his legs that was already stiffening. He took her like he owned her…and she enjoyed it. Having the power ripped away…only fed to her own arousal as he thrusted deeply with her. Her painted nails dug into his back as she mewled her for more. He pulled on her hair as he leaned in.

"If you want more, you'll have to give in to me." He said in a heated whisper. "You're going to have to give up that magic of yours. No going back"

"Yes…please, I give it up. Just keep going!"

He smirked knowing he had her and he kept going before finally getting that release he was yearning for since last night. She spasmed making a mess of the bed from her own climax. He pulled out as he got up.

"Don't worry, you won't be able to get pregnant. And you can clean yourself up and there's a wardrobe for you to get another gown. Just don't worry about that silly balaclava. I'll be keeping you isolated for a while…I'll need to train you a bit. Understood?" Taeko said, redressing himself.

"Yes, sir…" Grimhilde said dreamily.

Taeko left her to rest feeling good about himself. He hoped Snow White had a better life where she was, she did deserve it after all. He was torn between Daisy or Peach next, but ultimately went for Daisy first. He was given a choice to how he wanted her. Pale or lightly tanned? He opted for the tan before going in. Her room was a grand one themed after her with shades of orange and yellow.

Her hair was deeply hued and shade of orange with her eyes a vivid shade of blue. As expected she wore her [Princess Dress], a yellow floor-length gown with white, petal-shaped openings, a matching collar, orange panniers at the waist, and two rows of orange frills at the base. She also had white gloves with petal-shaped openings and orange heeled pumps. She wears round, viridian earrings with white, petal-shaped encasings and a matching, oval brooch. She also wears a gold crown with round gems that match her other jewelry on the front and back and round, red gems on the sides. Though the dress had the touch up and modified similar to when Peach was introduced into Smash Brothers with embroidery and designs to it. He did notice a gold ring on her finger, a wedding ring. She was a touch shorter than Peach…and sat on the bed with a glum look on her face.

She turned to see him.

"So you're the king of the castle…" Princess Daisy said getting up. "Well, at least you're human…"

She sounded tough but she pouted given Taeko's towering height. She poked his chest with her finger.

"But don't expect me to just bend, I agreed to this for the sake of peace and keeping my kingdom protected. I'm not going to like being cou-"

"Ok." He interrupted. "Sorry about the cooping up, that was temporarily until things in the castle were set up."

The window to the balcony opened to which they walked out of.

"But the place is open for you to explore…given my work…it'll mostly be you, but there's a warp pipe set up for you to visit your kingdom whenever you want." Taeko said calmly.

He listed some features the castle had for her and that lightened the princess's mood.

"I-It's not like I'll like you more or anything!" Princess Daisy firmly stated. "Besides, you probably want to do things to me now that you have me."

"What things?" He said playing dumb as she blushed.

She punched his shoulder.

"Don't make me say them…" She said before seeing Taeko's giggling. "Hmph."

"I won't ask for anything…yet." Taeko said. "Not on the first day at least."

"Well I will at least say thanks for not keeping me cooped up…I think I'll go explore that garden downstairs. It is a lovely day out." Princess Daisy said heading out.

He went right out himself. He was amused by this story the Game had woven and he entered Peach's room. The room was full of pink as he expected. Like Daisy, Princess Peach's [Princess Dress] was updated to look like her Smash version. She looked far happier to see him and was now her normal bubbly self. Considering what he had before, this was a step up.

"I was wondering where you were, honey…" Princess Peach said kindly.

"Just getting the castle ready, that's why you were kept in your room. It's all ready…" Taeko said before explaining the features again. "But you won't be alone, Daisy's here too. She's downstairs in the garden."

He watched Peach go, and he decided to make his way out of the castle to return to his world.

~[Exiting Rupt Castle]~

To his surprise, time barely passed while he was away but he wasn't complaining. He saw that as a benefit and he was grateful Kyu delivered on that in the updates. He checked on his list of captures only to get a text from Kyu.

'A head up. In the process of fixing some glitches and bugs, I had to remove three captures of yours. Counting Mystique, you're down to 24 which is a good maximum for you. 200,000 was added to reimburse you.'

He checked his list and didn't notice any major losses so he shrugged it off. He decided to pay Marinette a visit but checked the file before going in.

~[Entering Marinette's Cell]~

The room had changed of course, and he found Marinette sheepish to see him.

"It's been a while…" Taeko said. "You probably enjoyed the time away. I doubt you've even beaten Hawk Moth."

"What would you know?" She asked.

"Not telling…" Taeko remarked. "But I give you time to adjust, so now it's time that I want some entertainment. I'd ask you to dance, but I doubt you're a good dancer. So we'll just skip to stripping instead."

The look on her face was priceless.

"I can dan-"

"Nah."

Marinette looked flustered, but decided to try to bargain.

"You know something about Hawk Moth…tell me…and I'll do it." Marinette said. "Can you transfer the knowledge to my head or something?"

Kyu would send a message through the Game of an idea and he was eager to go for it.

"Here's the thing, when you're here…a double takes your place. Exactly duplicate only that she doesn't have some personality flaws. I can give that double the information that's so valuable…in exchange for you serving me and the double permanently taking your place. Your room would be upgraded, of course." Taeko said. "The question is…whether you take the deal or not."

"I'll do it…"

A holo-console appeared on the wall briefly showing a bar loading up until it's full…and then closing out.

"Well, at least…it's done. Get to stripping. Mask too." Taeko said as Marinette nodded.

"Spots off…"

Her costume shimmered slowly fading off as dust…along with her mask. Her body shined a bit in the light as he took in the sight of her. Not exactly fit by hero standards, but model-like with only a thin landing strip of blue hair lay between her legs.

"Good…" Taeko remarked as the room altered a bit. "You'll find clothes in your closet…they'll be amenities for you."

"Thank you…sir." Marinette said before turning to admire the bed.

"I'll leave you and your bubble butt to relax." Taeko said before leaving through the door.

Marinette would never admit that she had a jolt of excitement while she was doing it…while he was eyeing her.

~[Exiting Marinette's Cell]~

"Commander."

"Rei." Taeko remarked. "Status."

"Things are smooth. Are you going to keep the schedule for the weekend?" Rei asked.

"No, everyone can take the weekend off. I can run them ragged." Taeko affirmed.

"Android 18 can also now be pacified while keeping most of her personality." Rei calmly said. "May I authorize her for Level 4?"

Taeko nodded before going in.

~[Entering Mirai 18's Cell]~

The room design had changed, resembling bits of Gero's lab with an added bed. Lazuli was in her container which opened up to which she came out in just the [Blacked Underwear].

"Good morning, doctor." She said. "Or whatever time it is…"

"It is morning, but that doesn't matter." Taeko said.

"What do you want?" Lazuli asked before he went ahead to feel her up. "Aside from that."

"Just wanted to make sure you're healthy by feeling you up." Taeko said as Lazuli had a thin blush.

He let her go before slapping her behind.

"I'm good." Taeko said as she took the underwear off. "But what's this?"

"I want a new wardrobe." She said bluntly. "So how about I give you reason to give me those things?"

She put a hand to her chest as her breasts went up the 'canon' size to twice as big. Her proportions leaned a bit more towards how Yamamoto drew Lazuli.

"This do it for you?" She asked.

"Yes." Taeko said, snapping his fingers. "Use that computer over there to make requests. The drones can make you outfits. But I warn you not to overwork them. Now I'm leaving."

"Ok later…"

~[Exiting Mirai 18's Cell]~

~[Entering Harley Quinn's Cell]~

He entered her cell and saw how the update tweaked Harley. Harley's body had changed to be 'thicc' and a bit taller. She was still shorter than him, but the gap was a bit closer. Her hips were a bit wide and her chest went up to triple DDD. Harley had found herself in a new outfit being a skintight short black and red strapped latex cropped tank top with a star and diamond on it, a black choker around her neck, black and red fingerless leather gloves, black and red skintight latex briefs, black and red thigh high socks, and black and red sneakers with pom poms. Her pigtailed hair was dyed at the ends in blue and pink shades. For makeup, it was dark red lipstick, pink and blue eyeshadow, black mascara.

"What is this…workout clothes? A bit tight…" Harley stated.

She yelped as he slapped her behind.

"It's good for showing off." Taeko said before pulling her briefs down. "But I need you naked…right now."

She turned to him, bloody groping his shaft with a lip bite.

"Ready to ride your Harley?" She purred.

He was not planning, but he decided to go for it as he had Harley on all fours. He nearly tore the top off of her body. She waggled her behind at him beckoning him to claim her. She made cute engine sounds doing so, but he focused on getting his clothes off before positioning himself to mount her.

"Oh my, my bozo has a built body…and a nice big funstick…" Harley said eagerly as she felt his length between her cheeks. "But I can make a puddle of goo on the floor…eek!"

He grabbed a pigtail as she slid his length into her snatch halfway before slamming the rest in. She had to keep herself steady as he pressed up against her. She made sure to push her backside on him and stretch forward with her hands.

"You're a big bozo…" She mewled out. "Please use my clussy…"

She moaned from another smack to the behind. Taeko took a quicker pace, slapping up against her as let out her pigtail.

"So deep~"

He slammed in, only to pull back down slowly just to return it in with force. Hearing her call for 'Mr. T' did get a laugh out of him. Juices ran down her inner thighs, spilling down onto the floor intermixed with the sweat to make a musky smell. She squirted at one point, but Taeko focused on going faster. The room was aloud with the sounds of flesh slapping together. It came to a head and Taeko decided to glaze her insides. He pulled out of her getting up to watch his handiwork as she slumped on her side. His seed seeped out of her as she panted. He left her to use her shower before getting out to get dressed.

"Thank you…Mister T." Harley slurred.

"You're welcome." Taeko said before he left.

~[Exiting Harley Quinn's Cell]~

As he went to the elevator, Rei was waiting for him at the elevator.

"Leaving, Commander?" Rei asked.

"Yes, I need to attend to business." Taeko stated as the elevator doors opened.

"Just remember if you need anything, make a call to me." Rei said politely.

"Thank you, Rei." Taeko responded.

[GAME PAUSED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO QUICK SAVE?]

[Yes *] [No]

….

[GAME QUICKSAVED! Hurry back.]

(A/N: Yes, I ended up nixing three captures in the list, easy to do considering they weren't really mentioned much in the story or had cell scenes. 24 is a far more manageable amount, and I wanted to give this side some focus to clear the way for the 50th chapter to be more story-driven. And yes, I did notice the mistake with some crops not being noted as regrowable, it was fixed. In-story, it'll be marked a 'bug' that was fixed.)
