Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroinu or Giganta.
A/N: Alright save for an embarassing little incident of misusing the wrong document. I have been working on figuring out where to go next, and also had to triple check that I wasn't gonna mispell Doris' last name again. And also it took a bit longer because, doing research on Kuroinu lore and worldbuilding isn't as easy as one would think. Like I know it's a hentai game, I know that it don't matter but my brain kinda won't let me rest if I don't at least have some accurate pieces in place. Also let's do an oldie favorite classic that I've really missed. Responding to reviews!
Perseus12: Sorry for the wait bro. And oh yeah there will be more. As for Olga. XD we will see.
hellfire45: Sorry it took so long.
Guest 1: I did like that run. But for now glad you like it XD And I agree! She is super underrated.
Guest 2: Aww thanks! Sorry it took so long.
Guest 3: Potentially great ideas. But I will just focus on this one for now XD.
The Black Citadel
Doris was weary, her arms crossed. There had been an agreement sure, but being a seasoned super villainess. She wasn't one to blindly trust. Even as they walked through the dark castle. She hadn't fully gone back to her regular size. She towered over both the dark elves, standing at a height of fiftteen tall. She could move through the casle no problem.
"Fancy place you got here." She grinned. Olga glared at her. "Oh did I touch a sore subject?" Doris said somewhat playful. Her green eyes switching to the shorter angry Chloe. Whose hands were twitching to use her blades. Doris grinned, just daring her to try. Even at this height, she could do a lot of damage.
"It has been my prison for a very long time." Olga said quietly, so quiet that if it weren't for the vague magics that allowed Doris her incredible power, she woudln't have heard it. Doris paused, her smirk dropping. Chloe looked at her liege with a heartfelt look of sympathy. Olga then continued speaking, her golden eyes holding a distant look in them. "There have always been two types of elves. Light and Dark. Formed from The Giant..." She looked back at Doris. A faint idea in her mind. "From his sperm the Elves were born. From one ball, came the light elves, from the other the dark elves." She looked at Doris, who blinked at that information.
"Well... Not the weirdest mythology I've heard." Doris managed to hold back a snicker. Chloe looked irritated until she heard a strange sound, it sounded like... a chuckle... coming from Lady Olga?!
"Yes... I've found it quite ironic as well." Olga had a slight smirk. "We elves like to pride ourselves as above lower kin. And yet our own origins are not exactly the cleanest." She sighed. "I was on my way to make the pilgramage to the spawning pool. When the giant fell, his sperm created a magical spawning pool for both elves. I was chosen as the next mother... but on my way there... I became trapped in this castle... and my magic was drained... empowering the monsters around this barren land." She looked annoyed at that. "They called me their queen, I hated them all." She clutched her staff tightly.
Doris reached forward, putting a hand on her shoulder, surprising everyone. "Yeah... I know that feeling." She said in a tone, that was different from her confident voice, from her intimidating facade. It was geniune sympathy. "Keep going." She said, and Olga had a look of gratitude and nodded, Doris pulled her hand back. And Chloe felt a pang of something in her heart.
"For centuries I was stuck in this castle. The Dark Elves... tried to free me. But nothing worked. And the humans of the south, the halflings, and the missionaries from the east banded together. I was the great threat." Olga chuckled sardonically as she came to a set of double oaken red doors. Chloe rushed to them with a glare in Doris' direction as she shoved the doors open.
Someone's eager to please. Doris smiriked just a bit at the jealous elf.
"We Dark Elves have never had a great reputation. It is in our blood to conquer. To dominate. While the Light Elves well. As you can imagine it's quite the opposite." Olga chuckled, as she walked through the doors and into the room. It was a war room with a great black circular table, and only one plush looking chair.
"Gee. No extra chairs?" Doris quipped with a smirk. Growing taller upwards to twenty five feet, she sat down on the ground.
"Insolent..." Chloe grumbled but held her tongue when she received a reproachful look from Olga. Olga then slowly made her way over to her chair at the head of the war table, her dark hips swaying ever so slightly covered slightly by her long elegant ebony hair. Chloe blushed when she stared for too long, the redness of her cheeks matching her eyes.
"So to make a long story short. This magic castle drained your power. Over centuries. And you couldn't leave for some reason?" Olga nodded at Doris' question. "Well shit." Doris sighed. "So what happens now? You're not bound by this castle anymore yeah? But people think you were behind the Legion. All those monsters yeah." Doris rolled her eyes. "Quite a pickle you're in." Doris doubted that Olga knew anything about the lands to the south.
"Yes... I am powerless now. The only chance I would have to regain my power. Is if I returned to the land of the dark elves." Olga and Chloe looked at each other, a silent communication between them. "But... I can't make that journey on my own... The Beasts outside would try to have their way with me. And Sevenshield Alliance would capture me, and their church would burn me at the stake." She then looked at Doris.
"Woah there. You're that desperate. I get that much. But why should I bother to get involved. I am not from this world." Doris crossed her massive arms.
"It's your fault she lost the last of her magic!" Chloe leaped forward blades drawn, yelling with a primal rage. But faster than she would've expected. Doris reached out, with her finger tips she caught Chloe's flowing blonde pony tail, spinning her around in mid air like she was a yo yo. The sensation was painful, to the point Chloe's grip on her daggers loosened, sending them flying.
"Easy there shortie." Giganta rolled her eyes, as Chloe stopped spinning, as Giganta still held her up in the air by her hair. Chloe's eyes were spinning from the spinning, and she managed to not vomit.
"Your power." Olga spoke up, just a little louder than her usual soft tone.
"What about it?" Doris looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you truly know how it works?" Olga asked calmly. Yet there was a small subtle sign that she was nervous about this whole situation, she knew she was playing a dangerous game.
"I..." Giganta thought about it. No she didn't. "No." She admitted. "I know it's magical but... that's about it. I can hear people no matter my size, grow big with proprortional super strength, durability and my clothes don't tear apart. But can't shrink, and that's about all I've learned." Giganta shrugged.
"In other words you've yet to master your magic." Olga exhaled. "If you help me return back home... I can teach you how to master more of your magic." Chloe's eyes widened.
"My lady! This brute is no better than those humans!" Chloe struggled, but a few little jerks from Giganta's fingers on Chloe's hair stopped her.
"What makes you so sure you can teach me?" Giganta asked. She was intrigued, since being a scientist, she had naturally really gotten a grasp on her powers. Magic was a strange abstract thing to her. Often a great weakness to her as well. If there was a chance she could master this magic, and gain new abilities. Maybe then... she could finally beat Her. "Alright Honey. I am in." Giganta put Chloe down.
Olga smiled just a bit warily. "Hmm you agreed easily enough." She quipped.
"What can I say? Why wouldn't I take the chance to learn more. Besides. I will make sure you teach me before you double cross me." Doris smirked.
"My Lady would never!" Chloe got off the ground.
"Chloe. That's enough." Olga said cooly, her eyes never leaving Giganta. She had a look of respect and a smirk of her own.
"Yeah kid. This is between the big girls." Giganta leaned forward, elbows on her knees. Chloe looked like she was going to object, but sighed when she got anotehr look from Olga.
With a grumble, she dusted herself off, retrieved her daggers from the black stone walls, gave a stiff bow, and then exited the room.
"Hmm so you said you had an understanding?" Olga asked leaning forward, resting her elbows on the war table.
"Not in the same timescale of centuries." Doris chuckled. "But close enough." She thought of her own past. "I grew up with a blood disease. My own body was a prison. Those that could've and should've helped were utterly incompetent." She exhaled, the old pain and hatred threathening to bubble to the surface. Children could be gruel especially to those children that were different. "I couldn't do much in life. And my days were numbered... But I refused to give up." Her fingers dug into her knees.
"Admirable." Olga said impressed. "What did you do?" She looked up at the taller Giganta.
"I determined to find my own salvation. So I studied, I poured my sweat, tears and blood into trying to find a cure for myself. I made great strides. But well. I was overlooked. My work wasn't as flashy or awe inspiring like my other contempory scientists. So I was overlooked... forgotten. And was doomed to an inevitable end." She grimaced, those old memories. Every day was a struggle to keep moving. Her own body a tomb, every second closer to the end.
"Sounds..." Olga was at a loss for words.
"Infuriating. So close! Yet so far. With a little more funding and resources... But I still made due. Even had test apes. I was close, had everything I needed for a breakthrough! But then... she showed up on the scene." Her lips had a snarl, as her body shook with rage. Even now just thinking about her slightly, made Giganta furious.
"Her?" Olga felt like there was a deeper complicated story there.
"Wonder Woman. Diana of Themyscira. The perfect woman." Doris snorted at that, with a roll of her eyes. "All anyone could talk about was her. She was everywhere in the papers! People wouldn't shut up about her! And my work got overlooked again..." She sighed in frustration, even years later that still stung. Especially because it had been her life on the line.
"I see..." Olga thought of her own relationship with a certain light elf.
"I hated her, but I couldn't do anything. Until she came into the hospital I was working at. She was vulnerable and comatose, so I tried to take her body. I failed." Giganta laughed. "Ended up in a goddamn Ape's body instead, Giganta." Olga grinned just a bit at that, as both women chuckled a bit. "it was fucking annoying I tell ya. Fleas, and people just won't shut up with the banana jokes." Giganta laughed. "I tried a few more times, but eventually I just grabbed the nearest body I could and well." She gestured to her current form, running a hand through her red hair.
"Did she have a name?" Olga asked curious.
"Olga." Doris said with a somber tone. "Odd coincidence there. You both have the same name. She was russian if I remember correctly. Poor dear got into some kind of accident or something. Comatose. Effectively brain dead. I am not sure how she had the ability to grow giant. But it helped me out. Took a while to get used to though. Used to be when I got huge. I would lose my intelligence." She sighed, those were simpler days, and she did make a lot of money as hired muscle. But it was rather degrading.
"Did you ever want to do anything different." Olga asked while holding a hand to her chin.
"I did for a while." Giganta smirked just a bit. "Even worked with that damn woman here and again." She didn't like to acknowledge that she and Wondie had a complicated relationship. "I even... had a boyfriend... then well. He died." She sighed. Olga had a look of sympathy, but she didn't press further on the matter. "And well I lost my temper. Killed his killer, then well one thing led to another and I relapsed. Then I ended up here." She shrugged her shoulders.
"And you no doubt want to get back home yes?" Doris lookoed at Olga, as she considered that question. The giantess thought about it, the immediate answer was yes of course. That was her home, but another part of her wondered what would the point be? She would just be back to doing the same thing again. And she didn't know how to really about that yet. Olga had gotten up while Doris was deep in her thoughts. Her hand rested next to Doris' knee, knocking the woman out of her concentration. "Well until then... I suppose. I should thank you. You may not have intended it. And we may not ever truly be allies... but... Thank you for freeing me Doris." Olga had a geniune smile, different from her composed regal airs.
"No problem." Doris said taken aback. Even when she had been a hero, her reputation as a villain had always proceeded her. And people were always scared of a giant woman. "Careful though." She grinned. "Might think you're starting to get fond of me." She crossed her arms. "Wouldn't that hurt your elfy reputation?" Her grin widened as Olga snorted and threw back her head in a laugh.
"I think I stopped giving a damn about being an Elf when my kind failed to rescue me." Olga shot back. "Come. I will escort you to the guest room. In the morning. We can get a lesson in. Chloe should have the prepartions for travel ready as well." Olga nodded, and while still a bit wary, shrunk down to her base size of six foot six.
Taking Olga's offered hand to get off the ground, Doris idly noted as she briefly got closer to the dark elf. That she wasn't a bad looker.
A/N: And with that. We can end this chapter XD. Sorry for the expo dump. But not only had it been a while, but also I figured it was a good way to build some rapport between Olga and Doris. I was going to do a teaser with Vult. But. I figured that kind of POV switching would be excessive and take away focus. I even originally had a section at the beginning with Celestine and Claudia but. I cut it out because it didn't need that kind of focus. Next chapter though. We will focus on the immediate shockwaves that Giganta's big steps have had! Celestine and Vult mainly. And maybe a bit of Chloe.
