Chapter Text

"I see potential... potential that will serve me now," Skeleton King intoned, reaching out with his power to take hold of Abracadaver's undead essence and take control.

"Ugh, ah, no... I do not..." Abracadaver tried to resist, but he could feel his own magic quickly succumbing to the far superior might of Skeleton King's power. And with it, his willpower and ability to resist were crumbling, being replaced only by one thought - serve the will of Skeleton King, and do his bidding.

And as he began to lose any trace of free will and resistance, the sounds of Skeleton King's cackles filled the throne room.

 (Kaznia)

"So, the meeting at Alabasta went well?" Questioned the form of Wonder Woman as she flew a Javelin through Kaznia's air space, heading toward the royal palace.

"As well as can be expected, honestly," Superman sighed, "The compensation he's asked for is what's reasonable and expected, and the prisoner transport is arranged for later tonight in Kaznia. Though he's still cagey on who exactly helped his daughter against Intergang, and even with the threat of Lothor it's clear he's not going to be welcoming to the idea of the Justice League in the kingdom anytime soon."

He said, with Wonder Woman giving a sigh.

"Not everyone will be as welcoming as Audrey, Clark... especially after Shayera's actions," she said, a bitter scowl forming at the memory of the one she once called friend and sister in arms, and how she had betrayed not only the Justice League but the whole planet to her people for a frankly insane plan. No matter if she had gotten cold feet in the end, Diana wouldn't be forgiving her anytime soon.

"And as necessary as the expansion has proven to be needed, as Batman has stated, the new Justice League has people nervous," she said, shaking her head in frustration, "I just wish people could see we aren't the enemy, that we only wish to help."

 "Believe me, I know the feeling," Superman sighed, "I've had to deal with that ever since Darkseid brainwashed me into attacking Metropolis, and sometimes I feel like the expansion is just making that distrust worse. But, we don't really have a choice but to simply show people that we have their best interests at heart."

"Well, let's hope we can win them over sooner. With Lothor and Skeleton King on the loose, things are more dangerous than they've ever been," Wonder Woman replied, growling the name of that rapist bastard. Oh, when she got her hands on him, she swore to Hera she'd tear him apart!

"Diana, are you okay?" Superman asked, picking up the rage in her tone.

"I've been better," She muttered, scowling, "I always knew Eris was a piece of work... but what she pulled is beyond appalling."

She said with a dark look, looking over the palace in the distance with a landing zone already prepared near it, "I'm more worried about the Powerpuff Girls and... Audrey," She admitted with a sigh, "The girls have to deal with not only Skeleton King's violation, but also now having out of control offspring in his service. While Audrey..."

She shook her head, "I've been getting the feeling she'd been hiding some of what happen to her while she was a prisoner of that monster, and now I'm afraid I know what it might be," Wonder Woman admitted, grimacing with disgust and anger as her mind went back to Eris' mocking words.

"Plus, as my girls and even that royal bedwarmer you're currently seeing can attest, he knows how to please a woman."

She let out a low growl, 'I swear, next time, I won't let that bastard get away from me."

 "Diana, I understand why you're angry, believe me," Superman said carefully, "But we can't risk losing control of ourselves. That's probably just what he wants, for us to become blinded by rage so that he can trick or manipulate us."

"I know," Wonder Woman grunted, before taking a deep breath to try and calm down, "But that doesn't make it any easier to not want to smash his face in every time I think about him."

 "Believe me Diana, I understand the feeling... even now I feel the same way whenever I think about Darkseid," Superman said, his tone pained with long held trauma and anger, "But all we can do is try to control our emotions, be ready for when he next shows his face, and be there for the people he's hurt in the meantime."

He said, with Wonder Woman sighing.

"On that point, how is that girl that was mutated, Robin Snyder?" she asked, her tone leaking concern.

"She still hasn't woken up, but she's stable," Superman said with a sigh, "By all signs, it seems Eris at least helped there."

"I still advise caution; she might claim to favor her because she was a good friend to the Powerpuff Girls, but after everything she's done, I wouldn't put it past her to turn the poor girl into some sort of trap," Wonder Woman replied as she started to come down for a landing.

 "We're having every magical expert we have access to looking her over," Superman reassured, "If Eris did leave any surprises for us, we'll be ready for them."

"I hope you're right," Wonder Woman said with a sigh as she landed, "In any case, I'll check back in after I'm done speaking with Audrey."

"Understood," Superman replied, before ending the communication.

Shutting down the Javelin, Wonder Woman stood up and walked to the exit, emerging from the ship to find herself greeted by a familiar figure.

"Welcome back, Wonder Woman," Megara said with a respectful bow, "Her Majesty is waiting for you in the throne room."

 "Thank you, it's good to see you again, Megara," Wonder Woman said, offering the servant a welcoming smile, "How are you and the rest of Kaznia fairing?" She asked as Megara proceeded to guide her into the palace.

"Well, Kaznia's picking up the pieces, but I think the Northerners have abandoned any thoughts of further rebellion," she said, shaking her head, "I think having the whole conflict hijacked by a pair of aliens treating it like a game took the fight out of their cause."

"I'm glad to hear that," Wonder Woman said, scowling at that reminder of Skeleton King and Lothor's actions but forcing the anger down, "And... how has Audrey been doing?"

"Other than missing your... company?" Megara asked, giving Wonder Woman a knowing look that made the Amazon blush, before shifting to a more serious look, "Honestly, I think she's been getting better, though she doesn't talk much about her time being held prisoner."

"Is that so? So, she hasn't opened up to or seen someone about what she went through?" Wonder Woman questioned with a frown.

"Like who, a therapist?" Megara asked with a scoff, "Even if she was willing, you know how many vultures would see it as a sign of weakness, or as proof she doesn't have what it takes to rule Kaznia?"

She stated with a look of disgust, before giving a sigh, "And while I've gotten closer to her since the civil war ended, and I ended up getting promoted to practically her right hand woman, she isn't exactly going to open up to me about something that sensitive."

Megara added, shaking her head, "Closest chance of me seeing a side of her that vulnerable is if you and her decide to spice things up in the bedroom."

Wonder Woman stopped dead in her tracks at that, face turning red.

"I, ah, I don't know what you mean," she stammered, which made Megara laugh.

"The walls have ears, princess~" she giggled, "But don't worry, the staff knows to keep what happens in the castle inside the castle."

She reassured, giving a wink that caused Wonder Woman to flush and give a groan.

"It's complicated," she admitted with a sigh, "I care for Audrey, but I'm not sure if I truly feel the same as she does for me. And what's worse, in my desire to comfort and be her rock, I fear I might have done more harm than good," she admitted as Megara clicked her tongue.

"Hey, love is complicated, I know that all too well," she said, shaking her head, "My first boyfriend was a self-centered jerk, and considering what happened before I moved to Kaznia, I'm kinda in a complicated area with one of your coworkers."

"Really? Who?" Wonder Woman asked with an arched eyebrow. She didn't want to pry, but she was happy for any kind of distraction from the current topic of conversation. But stiffened a bit at Megara's reply.

"Hercules, though personally I call him Wonderboy," Megara said with a shrug, but arched a brow at Winder Woman's expression, "Something wrong?" She asked, with a bit of concern leaking out.

"Ah, no, just um, let's just say my people don't have the best memories when it comes to the original Hercules," Wonder Woman said with a frown.

"So, that thing with the girdle actually happened?" Megara questioned.

"To a point," Wonder Woman said warily, before giving a cough, "Thankfully, despite sharing the name, the modern Hercules is by all accounts quite different from his brother," She said, but gave Megara a concerned look, "Though relationships involving anyone sharing blood with Lord Zeus can be... messy," she admitted, wincing.

"Yeah, well, to be honest, I've been considering moving on anyway," Megara admitted with a shrug, "He's nice enough, but I need a bit more excitement in my love life than what he's providing."

Wonder Woman gave a slight frown, a part of her feeling sympathy for Hercules despite the issues her people had with his namesake and her wariness to some of the gods, more so than ever given recent events.

"But I'm sure you didn't come here to gossip about my love life, you're here to see Audrey," Megara said with a smirk, "She's currently in a meeting with her advisor Nicholas Flamel, who's preparing to handle the diplomatic envoy from that asshole of a regent, Phobos," she said, before adding with a scoff, "Which thankfully doesn't include that slimy snake lackey of his."

Wonder Woman suddenly felt that she had a lot of questions about that statement, however she found herself focusing on one particular detail.

"Advisor? I don't recall meeting anyone like that," she stated.

 "From what I understand, he was a recluse that had lived in Kaznia for some time, sort of living the hermit lifestyle, but had connections to the royal family to the point Audrey's father sought him for advice from time to time," Megara explained, before sighing, "But ended up kinda burning the bridge a bit when he tried to warn about Savage, though the King apparently was stubborn and all but banished him from the palace."

Megara explained with a frown, "After Savage was exposed thanks to you and the League, Audrey been trying off and on to get him to accept an official position while seeking advice," she shrugged, "Apparently after what happen with that bag of bones, he finally relented."

 "Ah, I see," Wonder Woman said with a nod, letting any confusion slide away with the easy answer, "And this Phobos that you speak of?"

"The current regent of our neighboring kingdom of Meridian," Megara scoffed, "A smug bastard surrounded by even more smug minions who he sends to speak on his behalf. He's also a vulture that tried to take advantage of the civil war, who according to some sources, certain people on both sides of the conflict had been getting weapons from Meridian, and likely by the prick's orders."

Megara explained with a frown, "Audrey believes that he was hoping to fan the flames and keep the war going as long as possible before swooping in to claim any spoils, territory included, for himself," she said, giving off a scoff, "He's also just supposed to be the regent until his sister becomes of age since Meridian is a matriarchy, but with the way he is, I don't see him giving up power anytime soon."

She told Wonder Woman, who nodded at the information, taking it all in with a frown before they stopped at the entrance to the throne room.

"We've got a diplomatic envoy from him, but that's for Flamel to worry about, you just worry about figuring things out with Audrey," she said, before opening the throne room doors.

Walking into the room, Wonder Woman looked around and was quickly greeted by the sight of Audrey seated on her throne, talking to a man she assumed was this Flamel she'd been told about. He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple robe, and as he turned to face them, revealed a thin pale face, with a black goatee, a large nose, and differently colored eyes, one red and one blue.

"Diana!" Audrey greeted happily, "I'm so glad you could come. Please, come meet my new advisor, Nicholas Flamel."

"An honor, my lady," the man said, giving a soft smile before half bowing at his waist, "It's a privilege to meet the woman who saved our Queen twice over, and stole her heart," He said with a low chuckle as Audrey flushed, giving off a cough.

"Nicholas, please, show a bit of decorum," she pleaded as the man simply smirked.

"But I thought decorum was out of style?" He asked with mock confusion as she groaned, rubbing her face.

"Please don't use my own words against me," she said with a sigh, before turning back to Wonder Woman, "In any case, like I said, thank you for coming. We have a lot to talk about... though I hope that you don't mind waiting a bit, we're about to have an important diplomatic visit."

"Yes, Megara informed me of such, from Meridian yes?" Wonder Woman questioned with a frown as Audrey nodded.

"Yes, thankfully not from its current regent... and sadly not from the heir apparent princess," the Queen said with a sigh, "Nonetheless, Mrs. Vandom, from what I've dug up, seems like a trustworthy woman."

 "And what exactly do you know about her?" Wonder Woman asked. Call her paranoid, but she did hope that Audrey and her inner circle were being careful with anyone who approached them after everything that had happened.

"Meridian-born citizen, worked her way up through the diplomatic corps to her current rank," Megara recited from memory, "Has a husband named Tony who's a businessman of some sort, and they have a teenaged daughter named Will who's apparently a close friend of the princess."

"She also seems to be someone who leans toward the idea of Meridian opening up its borders to the outside world more and ending its isolation," added Nicholas, before giving a cough, "But my meeting with her shouldn't be too difficult to handle; Phobos knows we have a good deal of evidence and leverage, and he's likely instructed her to give us what we desire within reason for compensation."

"He better have," Audrey spat, "If he thinks he can weasel his way out of paying for his duplicity, he's got another thing coming!"

Wonder Woman gave her a concerned look at the anger, though she supposed it was understandable if this Phobos had truly sough to exploit Kaznia at its lowest, and Audrey noticed the look before sighing and giving a smile.

"But perhaps it's better I leave Mrs. Vandom in your capable hands, Nicholas," Audrey said, turning to look at Wonder Woman, "After all, Diana came all this way to see me, I shouldn't keep her waiting," she said, getting up from the throne and approaching her with a sensual walk and gaze, "I'm sure she's eager to catch up where we left off, no~"

 Wonder Woman felt her face burning, and it didn't help that she could hear Megara snickering next to her. However, she quickly composed herself and coughed to clear her throat.

"Yes, we do have much to talk about," she said.

"Well then, follow me~" Audrey said, leading Wonder Woman out of the room. Megara and Flamel watched them leave, and once the doors closed behind them, the former gave a mocking snort.

"Oh, she has that Amazon whore wrapped around her fingers," she said with a smirk, before glancing to the man next to her, "Which means that she'll be yours in no time~"

 "Indeed..." smirked the form of Nicholas Flamel, or rather Skeleton King as he took a seat on the throne, his eyes letting out a brief red glow. Perhaps it was a bit risky, using a forged identity in the form of Skeleton King's original human form, but it would allow him to operate openly in ways he normally couldn't, and would also allow him to take not only a more hands-on approach to certain matters that would be complicated to do as Skeleton King, but also allow him some more time with Audrey and Megara.

"And it will be quite a delightful to twist and break her until the hatred in her eyes turns into blind devotion to Skeleton King," He said with a laugh that Megara shared as she approached him with a smirk, analyzing his form.

A part of her still couldn't believe that this was apparently what he used to look like before becoming Skeleton King. Honestly, it wasn't that bad, objectively speaking. Not quite a looker, but maybe if he'd gotten a tan and put on a few pounds, he would have turned a few heads.

Oh well, as long his cock was still as big as in his true form, she wouldn't complain~

 "What's the word from Intergang?" Though she was brought out of her thoughts as he questioned her, "With the death of the organization's leadership, it appears we might have less time than I hoped to prepare for a coup," He added with a frown as she sat on his lap.

 "Miss All-Sunday's sent out a word to all high-ranking members, which has trickled down the grapevine to the rest of us," Megara said, getting comfortable atop her master/love's lap, "She's invoking the protocols for selecting a new leader, which means that there'll be a general assembly for anyone who thinks that they have what it takes to be in charge to state their case."

 "Hmm, and do you believe you'll be ready to state your own case for control?" He asked, while placing a hand on Megara's ass, squeezing it.

 "Mmm, with me having the brat queen under my heel, and Wonder Whore through her soon enough, I should have more than enough leverage," Megara said, wiggling her ass in his grip and loving the feel of it.

 "Excellent~ But Wonder Woman will have to be handled carefully; she will not be easy to break, I'm sure, so patience will be needed," "Nicholas" said with a smirk, "Plus, having that fool Hercules wrapped around your fingers is lovely additional leverage, I'm sure," He added, giving a chuckle as he gave her a kiss.

"Oh right, him," Megara murmured once the kiss broke, "Honestly, I don't see what good he'd be other than as some dumb muscle to throw at your enemies, but I guess presenting him as a personal attack dog could win some of the others over."

 "Indeed," Nicholas said, kissing at her neck while kneading her ass, "And rest assured, if you secure Intergang, you'll be rewarded~" He said huskily, before biting onto her neck.

 "Mmm, ah, master~ You don't have to worry about that. I'll have the whole organization at your feet in no time," she moaned, loving what he was doing to her.

 "Good," Nicholas hissed with a smirk, "Now, since it's been a while and we have a bit of time, why don't I remind you why you belong to me?" He said, moving to pull down her toga, "It'll be just the thing to warm me up for our lovely diplomatic envoy~'

 "Oh yes, master, show me why I belong to you~" Megara purred, helping to finish the job of removing the toga and tossing it aside, leaving herself bare before her master's hungry eyes.

 "Indeed, and once the fool has outlived his usefulness, I look forward to making the mighty Hercules watch as I devour you~" her master said with a growl, grabbing and biting onto her breasts.

 "Ugh! Yes!" she moaned in delight, picturing that musclebound oaf in chains and looking on in despair as she gave herself to someone who was more of a man than he could ever be!

"Urg, I'll lead the moron on for you and then, ahhh, once we're done with him, we'll torture his worthless ass, as you fuck me!" She moaned, wrapping her arms around his head, "But right now, fuck me on the throne you gave me!" She pleaded with a groan of desire as she rubbed her crotch against him.

"With pleasure!" He declared, before picking her up and slamming her down onto his cock, easily penetrating her.

"Ugh, agh, yes!" she screamed as she started riding him right there on the throne.

 "Who owns you?! Who owns this pathetic power hungry whore?!"

SMACK

 "AH! You do! I belong to you, and only you! Ah, ah, ah, my body, soul, everything belongs to you!" Megara moaned, bouncing off his cock with glee, "Ah, ah, fuck, you can rape and destroy anyone, and I'd still follow you like the power hungry whore I am!"

And she really did mean that. At this point, as long as she could fuck this wonderful cock, she didn't care about anything else!

A part of her wondered if he put a spell on her, or if she had always been that much of a slut, but there was no denying she loved the pleasure and power he gave her. Just like there was no denying that the more time passed, the more she found herself thinking of him and wanting to feel his touch like the lucky bitches who got access to him 24/7 on that Citadel of his... was this becoming more than just her desire for power and good sex?

SMACK

"AH!"

"That's it, moan for your master!" Her master said with a laugh as she pulled him into a hungry kiss.

 Fuck it, she could sort out her emotions later, she decided as she eagerly returned the kiss, while continuing to bounce on his cock for all she was worth. Right now, this was all she wanted~

(Royal Bedchamber)

"I'm glad you decided to visit, Diana. Ruling Kaznia can get so lonely," Audrey said as they entered her room,.

"I'm sure," Diana said with a slight cough, "But I came to talk to you about something serious."

She said, giving her... friend... lover? Giving Audrey a serious look.

"Oh?" Which was returned with a coy look, "Rather early into our relationship to be discussing marriage, don't you think?" She asked as she took a seat on the bed.

Once again, Diana found herself blushing brightly, caught off guard by the statement.

"That, um, that's not what I'm talking about," she said, coughing pointedly to clear her throat, feeling very uncharacteristically awkward.

After all, she... she still wasn't sure where she stood with Audrey... at least on her end, she knew Audrey loved her, but did she love her in turn?

"Oh? Then what did you come here to discuss?" Audrey questioned with a curious look, causing Diana to sigh.

"Us... and what exactly happened to you while you were Skeleton King's prisoner," She answered with a concerned frown as Audrey stiffened.

"I'd be happy to talk about us and our love till the end of time, but there is no need to go into that nightmarish experience, Diana," She said firmly.

Also, I don't need you poking holes in my story, the blonde added to herself. Unaware of this, however, Diana pressed on.

"I understand, believe me," she said gently, "But in light of what Skeleton King just did to the Powerpuff Girls... I need to know."

Ah, so that was it... Audrey realized, having heard how her master had violated those whores and given them the honor of bearing him children. It seemed her love was worried what her master did to her.

"Diana, please..." She looked away, putting as much convincing pain as she could into her tone, "Some things are better left unsaid."

 It had the desired effect, Diana gaining a deeply sympathetic look on her face.

"Audrey," she said, reaching out to gently place a hand on Audrey's shoulder, "Please... just let me help you."

 At that, Audrey decided to put her acting skills to use and blend some truth with the lies.

"What do you want me to say, Diana?!" She snapped with a glare, "That he raped me, violated me, that he mocked me about how you'd be joining me soon enough?!"

She started breathing heavily, willing her eyes to water, "That he fucked me over my own father! Using his power to awaken him from his coma just to make his last sight his daughter being raped by a monster! That he used his magic to force me to choke my own father to death! Before defiling me even further over his corpse!"

 The words had the desired effect, making Diana flinch back. For her part, Audrey felt bad about that, not wanting to cause her love any emotional pain; however, it was necessary to keep her from pushing too hard at this point and realizing that Audrey was lying to her.

"Audrey..." Diana looked towards her in horror and pain at the idea of her going through any of that. And at the same time, she felt her rage and hatred towards Skeleton King growing for him daring to do this to anyone, let alone someone she cared about.

But, she couldn't let that distract her, not right now; Audrey needed her support.

"I... can't even begin to process the pain you've gone through, the horrors," She said softly, taking a seat next to her, "And I'm sorry for the pain I'm bringing up by asking... but I'm worried about you, Audrey," She said, while softly pulling her into a hug, "I want to help you... but I need you to let me."

She said gently as possible.

Unseen by her, Audrey smirked. Hook, line and sinker, she thought~

But pushing the smug amusement aside, she put the act back on and gave a slight sob.

 "Oh Diana, I... I know I should seek help... Nicholas has even offered to stand in as a counselor... but he's like a second father to me... I couldn't tell him the things that monster did to me... and you... you sob probably hate me now... sob, I killed my own father Diana, and was made to cum over his corpse like a sick whore!"

 "No, no, it's not your fault!" Diana quickly reassured, "It's that monster's doing, not yours! He made you do all that, and I promise, I'll make him pay for it!"

 No my love, our master will open your eyes just as he did with me, the Queen thought silently in reply, before speaking aloud.

"Sob... oh Diana... I love you," Audrey said, holding her close while subtly feeling up her body, "Maybe it's not healthy to rush into this right after what happened, but I don't care, I love you and I'd do anything, even sacrifice my kingdom to have you at my side."

 Despite herself, Diana felt a warmth growing in her at those words.

"Audrey, I... I don't know if I can say that I love you... but I do care for you, and I'll always be here for you," she said, holding Audrey close.

 "Then please, Diana," Audrey began to roan her hands over Diana's body, while softly kissing her neck, "Help me forget the pain... let me feel your touch again... let me try to earn your love."

Diana knew reasonably that this was wrong... but she knew that Audrey needed the comfort right now. And honestly, what she was doing to her right now... it felt so good~

"Mmm, ah, Audrey..." she moaned, beginning to roam her hands over the Queen's body, "If that's what you need... I'll do it."

Maybe it was unhealthy for Audrey to cling to her in the long term... maybe she wasn't sure where her feelings fully stood toward her... but she knew that she cared deeply for Audrey, and there was no denying she found her desirable. So what was the harm in serving as Audrey's rock... in helping her forget what that monster did to her... of showing she was loved? She thought as she reached up her hand and loosened her armor, allowing it to loosen, and the next thing she knew...

"Ah, ah, Audrey!"

She was naked and moaning as the Queen of Kaznia ate her out.

"Mmm, Diana, your pussy is as delicious and divine as last time," Audrey said with a giggle, shooting her a smirk, "I'm truly envious of any who got to taste your sweet nectar before me~"

"Ah, ah, it doesn't matter who else has had me," Diana panted, "Right now, ah, ah, I'm all yours!"

"That's right. Now beg for release... beg for your Queen, your mistress', love my sexy warrior~" Audrey growled huskily as she started to kiss up to Diana's bust while fingering her tight pussy.

"Ugh, ah, ah, Audrey~" Diana moaned, only for Audrey to grab one of her nipples and twist it harshly enough that even the Amazon felt a slight amount of pain.

"I said, beg your Queen!" Audrey said, jabbing her fingers deeper into Diana's cunt.

"Agh! Mistress, please!" Diana cried out without thinking, "Please, make me cum! Give me pleasure!"

"Louder!" Audrey commanded, increasing her pace while using her other hand to hit Diana's breasts.

SMACK

"Let me grant your desire! Submit to me, and together we shall conquer the world!" she crowed with a dark laugh.

So caught up in pleasure as she was at the moment, Diana didn't even fully register Audrey's words. All she knew was that she was enjoying herself like never before, even with past lovers... maybe because she wasn't topping for once?

Oh well, who cared? She just needed to enjoy it~

"Please, my Queen! Let me climax! Bring me to ecstasy!" she yelled.

 "Yes... the ecstasy of desire... we'll be together forever, Diana, my love, my goddess!" Audrey yelled, leaning down to hungrily kiss the heroine, who wrapped her arms around her neck, hungrily returning the kiss as Audrey continued to finger her.

 Soon, the two were lost in the throes of passion, their cries echoing around the room.

 (Elsewhere in the royal palace)

"I thank you for meeting me, Mr...?" Said an attractive form dressed in a dark blue business suit, arching a brow at the figure sitting across from her at the table in the arranged private room.

"Flamel, Nicholas Flamel," said the secret Skeleton King with a smirk toward one of his favorite MILFs in animation, but one sadly underrated compared to others, "And it is no problem, it's actual our pleasure to be hosting you. Her Highness has assigned me to be your personal guide to ensure you enjoy your stay in Kaznia after our talks are done, Mrs. Vandom."

He said, with the Meridian diplomat Susan Vandom nodding slowly.

"Speaking of the Queen..." Nicholas let out a slight chuckle, "I'm afraid something came up, but she trusts me to handle things on her behalf, not to worry."

Nicholas said, before giving a smirk, "just as she trusts me to make sure a lovely woman like yourself enjoys her time as our guest."

"Well, I thank you and the Queen for such hospitality," Susan said with a smile, trying to hide how nervous she was. After all, this was quite a mess she had to deal with. Seriously, what had the Prince been thinking? Playing both sides of a war like that was guaranteed to blow up in their faces eventually!

Just another reason among many she didn't like or trust the Prince, and couldn't wait for the day Elyon took the throne.

"So..." Nicholas leaned forward against his folded hands, elbows on the table, "Let's begin... what exactly did Phobos order you to do to cover his ass?" He asked quite bluntly, cutting straight to the point, and at her look he scoffed, "Let's not mince words, you seem like a lovely woman I'd love to get to know more later, but we both know what kind of man your regent is."

 "Uh... yes, I suppose that's true," Susan admitted, surprised at how to the point Nicholas was being, having long since grown used to how politicians and diplomats tended to dance around issues to get what they could without revealing their true feelings.

Honestly, it was a bit refreshing, she had to admit.

 "Indeed, and you have my condolences for having to work with him," Nicholas said, giving her a sympathetic look, "I'm sure you earned your diplomatic credentials with that alone," He said, with Susan barely holding back a snort of amusement.

 "Ahem, yes," she said, clearing her throat, "But in all seriousness, to answer your previous question, I've been authorized to make any concessions that are needed to secure relations between our realms. Within reason, of course."

 "Of course," Nicholas said with a nod and slight smirk, "I suppose we can start with any monetary and medical aid to help heal the harm caused by the civil war and those alien agents."

"If you feel that Kaznia needs and would be open to Meridian's help rebuilding, we're more than happy to offer it," Susan replied, finding that request reasonable, though she knew Phobos would prefer not to pay a dime, much less too much. But if it helped sooth things over with their neighbors, she was sure whatever price was named would be worth it.

"Excellent," Nicholas said with a smirk, "Besides that, perhaps Meridian could offer assistance in something it's uniquely suited for," He said, looking toward Susan, who looked curious.

"And what would that be?" She asked, before stiffening at the response.

"Magical knowledge to help ensure Skeleton King can't reattempt his actions as easily as before," Nicholas replied with a slight smirk of amusement at her reaction.

 "I, ah, I don't know what you mean," Susan said quickly, while internally panicking.

How could he know about Meridian's magic? That wasn't public knowledge; Hell, the only reason she knew about it was because her daughter had been chosen to be a Guardian!

 At that, Nicholas raised a brow.

"My dear, please don't insult either of our intelligence with lies, or do you believe I'm wearing robes like this because they're retro in style?" He said, bluffing slightly; he still knew little of Meridian beyond public knowledge, but with his meta knowledge, he suspected the kingdom, at least the royal family, had access to magic, he just needed Susan to confirm it, "Also, how is your daughter doing? You must be quite proud."

He added idly to further put her off guard. The Guardians might not even be a thing, but bringing Will up would surely off-put Susan further. And judging by how Susan tensed up, he had a feeling that he'd hit a nerve.

Susan, meanwhile, was starting to sweat nervously. How could he know all of this?!

 These were state confidential secrets! More than that, the Guardians were and had been Meridian's protectors and greatest secret for eons! So how could this man not only know about Meridian having access to magic and the Guardians, but know her daughter was one of them?!

"Who are you?!" She found herself blurting out, her mind seeking answers.

"Merely an experienced scholar who knows secrets the world hides, and how deceiving appearances can be," He said with a smirk, loving how worked up she was getting at his words. She scowled at him, but sighed.

"Fine, then what do you want?" she demanded, "You wouldn't be revealing that you know all of this is you didn't expect to use it as leverage for something!"

"I merely wish to ensure closer ties between Kaznia and Meridian, and a brighter future between both our kingdoms," Nicholas replied evenly, "One that will hopefully include Princess Elyon ruling as the Queen she's meant to be, rather than her brother's figurehead," He added, before giving a smirk, "And me getting to know the beautiful woman sitting in front of me."

That statement caught Susan off guard from the sheer whiplash, going from him casually revealing his knowledge of state secrets to... was he flirting with her?

And as she looked over at the man, seeing the smirking leer he shot her and feeling the gaze roaming over her body, she realized he was! Didn't he realize she was a married woman?! And what was that part about wanting to ensure Elyon wasn't a figurehead for her brother?! Sure, Phobos reveled in being the regent while Elyon was underage, but it wasn't like he was plotting against her... right?

She didn't like the man or trust him that much even, but personal opinion wasn't a good enough reason to accuse someone of treason!

"I can see the doubt in your eyes, but I can assure you, Phobos' intentions are not towards his sister's benefit," Nicholas remarked, leaning back in his chair, "Men like him crave power and refuse to surrender it once they've gotten a taste of it," He gave her a look, "Plus, while I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him myself, it's no secret how prideful he is," He leaned forward, "Think about how it must sting, having to surrender the throne and control of Meridian to his sister simply because he was born the wrong gender."

He cupped his hands together, "But how fortunate that little accident happened to his parents, allowing Phobos to raise and mold the only obstacle to the throne into such a trusting figurehead," He shook his head, "And how unfortunate it'd be for the princess or any potential friend or threat close to her if history repeats, with another unfortunate accident happening," He clicked his tongue, "Coincidentally paving the way for Phobos to secure his throne."

Susan stared at him in shock and horror. Not just because of what he was saying... but because it made morbid sense.

And if Phobos really could kill his parents, then he would be likely to eliminate Elyon too to secure the throne permanently. And if he did, he would naturally have to go after anyone loyal to her... which included Will and the other Guardians!

And the thought of what Phobos might do to her daughter and her friends to either eliminate a threat or get them under his control made her sick.

"What exactly do you want?" Susan asked, taking several breaths, trying to calm herself. She was a diplomat, she couldn't let herself lose control, even in the face of the horror the man in front of her was painting.

"A brighter future for our kingdoms," Nicholas said with a smirk, "I have not only the trust and ear of the Queen, but a great deal of knowledge and power that would make even the dear Prince cautious," He stated quite plainly, his eye letting off a brief glow, "I am willing to work with you and other like-minded individuals in Meridian who understand Phobos doesn't have Meridian's best interest in mind to ensure he doesn't become King, and Elyon becomes the Queen she's meant to be."

Nicholas said, leaving out that this included being a Queen who spread her legs and worshipped him on her knees like Audrey, "All I require in return is full access to all of Meridian's magical history and knowledge, an official alliance between Kaznia and Meridian, and..."

He gave Susan a smirk, "The pleasure of your company in return for helping ensure your daughter and the princess remain out of Phobos' clutches."

 Susan froze at that. Oh yes, that was far more than just flirting, he was actually propositioning her! Did he think she was some kind of whore?!

But... could she really afford to refuse him? If this was the only way to save Elyon, and by extension Will, could she say no? Could she willingly cheat on Tony to ensure the safety of their daughter and her friends, if not potentially Meridian's future?

"So, what do you say?" Nicholas asked with a smirk.

 "I..." Susan stammered, trying to find the right words, "If... if this is just a one-time thing... then I am willing to make that sacrifice."

 "Oh, I can agree to that, but I should warn you that after a taste of me, once won't be enough," Nicholas answered.

 "We'll see," Susan scoffed at the arrogance. Honestly, how good could someone this sickly-looking be in bed?

 A response that merely caused Nicholas to smirk; oh, she had no idea what she was in for. By the time he was done, her husband wouldn't be able to satisfy her, and soon through her he'd have not only an opening into Meridian, but an opening to claim more for his collection.

"We will indeed, but first tell me," Nicholas stood up, "Where would you prefer to have this take place? Here, a personal room, or the throne room?" He smirked, "Speaking from experience, the last always add a certain thrill to the pleasure," He said with a chuckle, "And of course, I'm a gentleman, so would you like to tell me about any fantasies you've had but never gotten the chance to explore, or perhaps join me for a romantic meal first?"

He said as he approached Susan, "I always prefer to make sure my lovers enjoy themselves as they embrace liberation at my hands."

 Susan blushed at the suggestions being made to her, which really hammered home how real this was. However, she quickly shook her head to compose herself.

"Ah... let's have something to eat first, so I can get myself in the right headspace for this," she said.

 "But of course." Nicholas said, gently taking her hand as she stood up, "Allow me to wine and dine you, for I'm most eager to learn more about the beauty before me," He said while gently kissing the back of her hand.

 Susan blushed brightly at that, and it took all of her willpower to remind herself that he was essentially blackmailing her into doing this, and that she shouldn't let herself be fully seduced. Even if he was very charming... sickly looking but charming.

She just had to bear through all this... for her daughter and kingdom... Tony would understand, she told herself as she followed the Kaznian diplomat out of the room.

(Royal Bedchamber)

"Mmmm, Diana, as always you're so amazing," Audrey purred, laying her head on Diana's massive bust with a smile of satisfaction.

 "Mmm, yes, you were excellent too," Diana murmured as she held Audrey close, absently running a hand through her hair.

She couldn't believe that she'd let this happen again. But, Audrey had needed the comfort... and she couldn't exactly say that she hadn't enjoyed herself.

"is something wrong, Diana?" Audrey questioned with a blink, looking toward her with concern, causing the heroine to sigh.

"Audrey... this... you..." Diana sighed, shaking her head, "I care for you, I do... but we really do need to talk."

She said, giving her a firm yet gentle look, "About not only your trauma... but us."

"What's there to talk about?" Audrey asked with a frown, not liking the idea of Diana slipping away, for multiple reasons.

"It's just... Audrey, is this really what you want, long-term? Or am I just a convenient source of comfort?" Diana asked, "And if I am, are you sure that that's a healthy way of dealing with what you've been through?"

 Audrey frowned at that.

"Diana..." She reached up to cup her cheek, "Perhaps I'm latching onto you as a way to forget my pain," she conceded, looking into her loves eyes, "But I do love you, I have ever since you saved me from that bastard Savage."

She admitted with a frown, "If there's one thing I'm thankful to Skeleton King for, it's to opening my eyes to the fact I shouldn't try to hide these feelings... that I should, as the Americans say, shoot my shot."

Grateful for that, and so much more, Audrey couldn't help but think, holding back a smirk, unable to believe she ever tried to fight against her master, her love... together with her and Diana by his side, they'd take this entire world. And she looked forward to when the time came when she'd finally retake control and show that slut Megara her proper place, she thought while raising a hand to place against Diana's breast.

"I know I'm no Man of Steel, mysterious Dark Knight, or even an exotic warrior wielding a mace, but I'd like to think I could make you a happy woman."

 "Audrey..." Diana sighed, before giving a smile, "If you're sure that this is what you want... then I'm for it. But, how open and public do you want this to be?"

 "Personally, I'd prefer we not hide our relationship; after all it's not like there aren't rumors about us anyway, my divine Amazon," Audrey said with a giggle and eye roll, gently kissing the heavenly mound of her lover, enjoying Diana's slight gasp as she gave her nipple a teasing lick, before giving a sigh, "But I'm also not the same reckless fool who nearly married a monster despite your warnings of his character."

She added with a small frown, "I know us openly seeing each other will come with complications; if not fools targeting us despite our respective position of beloved heroine or ruler of a nation to use as leverage over the other, then complications on the matter of politics."

Audrey gave a small frown, "I know that you're originally from Themyscria, but with your..." she gave her lover an apologetic look as Diana frowned, "Banishment, most consider you an American heroine and citizen, never mind the fools that refuse to believe the truth of your origins or the existence of the supernatural."

She said, before muttering under her breath before shaking her head, "So I suppose it's best if I leave the choice of us seeing each other openly or in secret for now up to you, my love... either way, my heart is yours, and you shall always be welcome in my kingdom and bed~"

 "Mmm..." Diana mused softly, weighing her options. She wasn't ashamed of this relationship, no matter how it had been unfolding, but was she willing to go public with it when they were such high profile public figures? They were both already under so much media scrutiny these days, could they afford to have everyone picking their relationship apart every moment of every day?

...Fuck it. She didn't need that kind of headache.

"For now, let's keep this to ourselves," she said.

 "Understood. I'm sure we can think of official reasons for your visits," Audrey said with a smile, "Whether as diplomatic matters from the League, helping my country, or perhaps..." she smirked, arching a brow, "You officially moving to Kaznia and my palace as our kingdom's own official protector."

She added, with Diana arching a brow, softly smirking.

"I'll admit the latter certainly sounds tempting, but something tells me it would bring some complications," She said with a soft chuckle, brushing her hand through Audrey's hair, "For now, diplomatic matters, simply seeing you as a friend, or whatever I can come up as cover will have to suffice," Diana admitted, though she had to admit the idea of sharing a home with Audrey and trying to build a life together did sound nice. She knew that such a move couldn't be kept secret long, and would make keeping their relationship secret all the harder if not impossible, so perhaps best to pin that idea for another time.

Audrey herself nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, that move is perhaps better saved when we're seeing each other openly, when you're ready for such a step," she admitted, not to mention her staying in Kaznia full time when not with the League might make her operating in her lord's name or seeing her master behind her back all the more complicated until it was time to open her eyes. Speaking of...

"Also..." she pulled back, sitting up with a sigh, "There's one matter you should understand before we make this official, my love," she said, giving Diana a soft frown, "As Queen and last of my line, I have certain... responsibilities."

 Diana blinked, before scowling in a sudden flash of jealousy as she realized what Audrey meant.

"Ah, I see," she said slowly, "Well, sadly, I can't exactly help in the matter of providing an heir, if that's what you're referring to."

"I'm afraid it is," Audrey said with a sigh, "I love you Diana, and truly want to build a life with you, but like you with the Justice League, I have a duty to Kaznia, and I'm afraid in this case, adoption would not work and only bring more complications."

She admitted as Diana sighed, but also sat up, softly taking her hand.

"I understand... I'll be honest, and admit I'm not exactly favorable to the idea of another sharing your bed when the need for a heir comes, but I understand," Diana admitted, giving her a gentle look as she softly kissed her lips, with Audrey returning the kiss.

"Thank you, my love... but there's the matter of who would father the heir, and, well..." Audrey coughed, blushing, "I already have the choice in mind... I hope you don't think less of me for it."

She added as Diana arched a brow.

"I'd rather it be someone I care for and trust... and he was always there for me... to the point he was not only like another father to me... but was perhaps a crush of mine growing up," Audrey explained, and looked into Diana's eyes, "I wish for Nicholas to be the one to father my child when the time comes."

Diana blinked in surprise at that.

"Really?" she asked. The man wasn't hideous, nor did he have a bad personality from what she'd seen. But still, he didn't seem like someone that Audrey would be attracted to enough that she'd consider him as father to her child.

"Indeed, it's unorthodox, but I care for Nicolas. He's practically the only family I have left, despite us not sharing blood, and..." Audrey forced a nervous look, hoping her master wouldn't punish her later for embellishing the agreed backstory they'd put together... even currently taking the liberty of tracking down anyone that could have been in position to know her or her father and know they had never interacted with a Nicholas Flamel and making sure they wouldn't put the cover story at risk, and dealing with them.

She sighed and looked away with an embarrassed grimace as she admitted, "I'm not sure how much you know of him, but Father banished Nicholas from the palace and his role of unofficial advisor."

"Megara told me as such... she said it was because he protested against the arrangement with Savage," Diana said, with Audrey nodding.

"Yes, but there's more to it... Father suspected that I felt something for Nicolas... that something had happened between us."

"Did it?" Diana asked, trying to keep any venom out of her voice, much to Audrey's amusement. However, the blonde kept that feeling out of her face and voice as she replied.

"No... but it probably would have if he'd made the offer," she said, before giving a sigh, "And part of me... wishes he had," She admitted, looking away, "Considering the disaster that happened with Savage, part of me wishes he had, then perhaps I would have felt brave enough to speak against my father's order to banish Nicholas, rather than believing they'd work things out. Perhaps a threat against my kingdom would have been avoided, and my own father wouldn't have fallen into a coma as I took Nicholas as a husband."

She said, with Diana frowning.

"What happened wasn't your fault... even if the marriage hadn't been approved, Savage would have found another way, or targeted Nicolas to get him out of the picture," She told Audrey comfortingly, while holding her close.

While also trying to hold back her jealousy. She had no right to judge.., this was before Audrey had even met her, and she could understand caring for this man. Plus, there was the matter with Bruce on her end... but he'd always seemed so adamant in the belief that relationships between teammates complicated things. But still...

"Do you still...?" The question trailed off as Audrey looked over at her.

"Care for him? Of course, I'm happy to have him back in my life and part of it... but love him like I do you?" Audrey frowned, "The need for an heir aside, I won't betray our love, Diana... any other that joins my bed will be with your knowledge and permission."

Audrey told her, lying quite bluntly, "Or..." she suddenly smirked, "Perhaps with you sharing the bed at the same time."

Diana's eyebrows shot up at that. She wasn't a prude, but... that was not expected.

"I, uh, can't say I've ever had more than one partner at a time before," she admitted.

"I haven't either, but it's always sounded fun~" Audrey said with a giggle.

Again, a blatant lie, as her master had certainly taken the chance to enjoy her and that whore Megara together, and talk about introducing them to the rest of his harem in person when the time came. And she had to admit, competition aside, some of the others looked quite appealing to play with... she'd certainly love to make that glasses-wearing girl with the huge jugs kneel before her and acknowledge her superiority after the things she said when master broke her.

"Just picture it, Diana... Megara eating you out as you eat me out... or perhaps the two of us moaning into each other's mouths as Nicholas switches between our holes," Audrey said, huskily rubbing at Diana's crotch, smirking, "I've always been a bit spoiled... and can't deny the idea of Diana my warrior and Nicholas my scholar double teaming and breaking my body... of enjoying both of your love and desire... it's quite appealing~"

She purred, leaning over to kiss at Diana's neck, "Mmm, but only with your permission, of course~ Otherwise we'll keep our activities between us till the time for my heir comes."

Despite herself, Diana couldn't help but consider the possibility, her mind briefly picturing her, Audrey and Nicholas in bed together.

"Ahem... I'll consider it," she said diplomatically.

 "That's all I ask, as heir aside, I don't want you to feel left out, or feel hurt by another sharing my bed," Audrey said with a soft smile, "And don't judge Nicholas too harshly for this... he might have have a certain charm when it comes to women, but i'm sure if you give him a chance, you'd quite like him as a friend at the least."

She added, kissing at Diana's neck, "But we can shelve this for later... for now, I want to focus on us before you have to leave, Diana," she said, softly rubbing at her love's crotch.

"Mmm... yes, but uh, we should still talk about what Skeleton King, mmm, put you through. It's... not healthy to bury your pain, Audrey," Diana said, moaning at her lover's touch, causing Audrey to sigh.

 "If it means that much to you, I'll... I'll discuss more about what happen when I'm ready... but for now... let me celebrate my new relationship with the most amazing woman in the world~"

 "Mmm, ah, Audrey~" Diana moaned as she gave into what Audrey was doing to her, wrapping her arms around her lover. She still had her doubts about a lot of this... but right now, she just wanted to enjoy the proper start of this new relationship.

 And as she did so, she had no idea that a monster she despised so much was preparing his next target while getting to know her more.

(Elsewhere in the palace)

"I see... so that's how your daughter became a Guardian... and you truly didn't know about the magical side of Meridian beforehand?"

 "Well, there's always been myths and legends that I've heard since I was a child, but that's all I ever thought that they were. It wasn't until Will started bringing our appliances to life with electricity that I found out that they were real," Susan said with a frown.

 "That must have been quite a shock," Nicholas said with a slight smirk as Susan, despite herself, gave a snort, shooting him a look.

"Yes it was, and couldn't resist the pun, could you?" She said dryly as he looked amused.

"It was just begging to be said my dear."

 Susan couldn't help but laugh at that, before frowning as she thought back to the day her family's life had changed forever. Oh, it was fine to make fun of it now, but it had been so frightening and disturbing when Will had suddenly shot a lightning bolt out of her hand, which had blown a hole in the kitchen wall, before every machine in the room suddenly sparked and started talking. They'd thought that she'd activated some unknown metahuman ability, before royal guards had shown up to escort them to the palace, where Will's position as one of the new Guardians of Kandrakar had been revealed... along with an explanation about just what that actually meant, which had led into a whole lengthy conversation about the existence of magic and Meridian's long history with it.

 And needless to say, it had certainly felt like the rug was pulled out from under them as they processed the fact magic was real, but Meridian had this whole hidden side to it. Sure, the kingdom had legends, but she hardly gave serious thought to any of them being true, even in a world of superheroes and superpowers. But it turned out, they were all true. Magic, monsters, inhuman being living in secret side-by-side with people, and of course, the fabled Guardians of Kandrakar, an ancient order of warrior women created to serve as the protectors of the balance between Meridian's magical and mundane worlds.

And now, her daughter was not just a member of the Guardians, but their leader! And even after having had months to absorb and adjust to this, it was still a lot for Susan to take in.

"But jokes aside, do tell me, how are you handling things? After all, having your daughter chosen for a magical destiny is a lot to handle," Nicholas stated, giving her a sympathetic look, "Especially with Phobos' plotting," He remarked, giving a frown.

Susan frowned at that, not liking the reminder of something that she'd been blind to which now seemed blatantly obvious, but shook it off to focus on the question.

"Honestly, it's been... a lot," she said with a sigh, "I try to be supportive of Will, but the thought of her being out there fighting magical monsters keeps me up at night."

 "It's natural; no matter how powerful a child is, a parent worries," Nicholas said with an understanding look as he took a sip of wine, with Susan nodding before frowning, giving him a curious look.

"It sounds like you're speaking from experience," She observed with a slight bite of her meal, having to admit it was delicious.

"I am a proud father of four adorable troublemakers, all of them superpowered, and trust me, four superpowered five-year-olds can be a handful," Nicholas said, chuckling at her look of shock while leaving out he was barely a day into fatherhood himself, "There was a festive occasion, I decided to join the celebratory mood, and one thing led to another when I met three young sisters..." He chuckled, "Then led to something again when their mother found out and wanted some fun herself~"

 Susan stared at him in disbelief. Sure, the fact that he'd propositioned her showed that he wasn't a stranger to a very active sex life. But... did he seriously just admit to an orgy with three sisters and their own mother?!

"Well, that, um, that's quite a story," she managed to stammer out.

"I'd be happy to give the details," Nicholas said with a leer, "And who knows, after today, Will and my daughters might be getting another sibling soon down the line," He added, gaze roaming over Susan's body, "After all, you'd be surprised at the number of women desiring my child~"

Susan blushed brightly at that. She didn't exactly need the reminder that she was in fact cheating on her husband, but in particular the idea of carrying another man's child was quite an overwhelming thought.

Not that she intended to do so, of course. This would be a one-time thing, and what were the odds that she'd get pregnant from that?

"Also, I think you've handled things quite well, and the fact you've stood by your daughter and that you're willing to stand up to a tyrant to protect her and your home, it speaks a great deal of the amazing woman you are."

Though she was brought out of that trail of thought by Nicholas softly reaching out to hold her hand, enjoying the atmosphere of the candlelit meal in a private room prepared for him, "Can you truly blame me for being unable to resist you? Even with all my supernatural knowledge and power, I am in the end but a man powerless to such beauty."

"Um, well, thank you so for saying so," Susan replied, giving an honest smile and feeling a warmth bubble in her chest. It really was quite flattering to hear such things from a man, especially one in a position of power.

Honestly, when was the last time Tony talked to her like this? A part of her couldn't help but think before she shoved the thought away.

"I'm only speaking the truth, and with our meal finished, I believe it's time for dessert, and me to show you how much I desire you as we seal our alliance against Phobos," Nicholas said, raising her hand and kissing the back of it, "Speak your fantasies, and I shall make them come true today~"

 Susan frowned in thought at that. Her fantasies, huh? Hmm, it had been a long time since she'd indulged in any role-play in the bedroom, and she had a feeling that Nicholas would be able to do more than just play-act a scenario thanks to his magic.

 "Well... there is one thing I've kinda always wanted to try," She found herself admitting aloud with an embarrassed blush. She couldn't believe she was about to admit this. Even Tony didn't know about this fantasy!

But... well, if she was already breaking a taboo by cheating on her husband, there was really no reason not to go all out on her fantasies, right?

 "Go on... you can tell me anything," Nicholas said as she stood up, her hand still in his own as he pulled her close, "I'll make you darkest, most depraved desires a reality," He said huskily, before grabbing and squeezing her ass as he licked up the side of her neck.

 "Ah, well, I... I want to do a sexy schoolgirl scenario!" she blurted out, "I want a teacher to punish me for being a naughty girl!"

Nicholas paused, giving her a blink before leering.

"Oh, naughty girl~" He said, before pulling her into a hungry kiss as his magic got to work altering their surroundings and even clothing.

Soon, they weren't in a private bedroom anymore. Now, they were in a typical classroom, full of student desks and a large one for a teacher at the front of the room in front of a chalkboard.

As for Nicholas and Susan, he was now in a semi-formal suit, and she... well, she was now in an outfit befitting this scenario. She had a checkered jacket that was open to show a dress shirt that was straining against her breasts, and a very short skirt that rose up to reveal that she wasn't wearing panties underneath.

"You've been a bad girl, Miss Vandom," Nicholas said, breaking the kiss as he grabbed Susan by the shoulder, "Do you know what we do to cheaters in my classroom?"

 "Mmm, I don't know, Mr. Flamel. You better show me~" Susan said with a giggle. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but it was giving her such a thrill!

 Of course she knew she shouldn't be enjoying this with a man who propositioned her, much less didn't give her a chance to say no, considering how he highlighted the risk Phobos put her daughter and home in. But part of her, to her guilt, couldn't help but enjoy the thrill, and the way he felt up her body.

"Ohh I will, this will be a detention you'll never forget." Nicholas said, shooting her a smirk before suddenly tossing her to land harshly against his desk. As she gasped in surprise, he quickly stepped over and held her down with one hand against her back, while his other hand flipped up her skirt to reveal her bare ass.

SMACK

"AH!"

With he immediately hit with his hand, causing Susan to cry out in surprise and delight.

 'Such a sexy A-Plus ass," Mr Flamel remarked with a smirk, before striking her ass again.

SMACK

"AH!"

"Shame it belongs to a disappointing cheater," He hissed, hitting her cheeks again.

"AH!"

 Susan's moans grew with every hit.

"Ooh, yes, Mr. Flamel! I'm an awful cheater! Punish me for it!" she cried out. And really she was, a part of her couldn't help but think.

SMACK

"AH!"

A dirty awful cheater!

SMACK

"AH!"

A filthy cheating whore!

SMACK

Cheating whores deserve punishment!

SMACK

"AH!"

 So all she wanted was to be punished more!

SMACK

"AH!"

"I think you're enjoying this," Mr. Flamel said with an arched brow, before giving a smirk, "Guess this means I need to be harsher," He added, his hand beginning to crackle with energy before bringing it down on Susan's ass.

SMACK-ZAP

"AHHH!" Susan yelled, this time more in genuine pain than pleasure... though there was some of that, too.

"How should this whore be punished?!"

SMACK

"AH!"

And why should she be punished?!"

SMACK-ZAP 

"AHH!"

SMACK-ZAP

"FUCK!"

SMACK-ZAP

"AH!" Susan screamed, "I need my ass beat into submission! And it's because I'm a horrible slutty cheating whore!"

 God, why was she enjoying this so much?! She couldn't help but ask herself. She loved her husband, but something about this whole situation had her so turned on.

"That's right..." Nicholas purred with a smirk, striking her ass again.

SMACK-ZAP

"AH!"

"You're a horrible cheating slut whore~" He said with a chuckle, before leaning in to kiss the back of her neck, "But you're my whore~"

SMACK-ZAP

 "AH! YES! I'm yours!" Susan yelled without thinking, "Do whatever you want! I deserve it!"

 "Just what I wanted to hear~" Nicholas said, turning her around to face him before grabbing and tearing off the front of her dress shirt, letting her D cup breasts bounce free, before smacking them harshly with his glowing hand

SMACK-ZAP

SMACK-ZAP

 "Ah! Ah! AH!" Susan yelled, each blow sending another burst of ecstasy through her.

 "You're really quite the pain slut, aren't you~" Nicholas observed with a smirk as he hit her breasts again.

 "Ah, ah, ah, yes I am~" Susan moaned, "Please, make me hurt so good~"

 "You want pain?" Nicholas suddenly grabbed and squeezed her neck, "Then earn it! Put your fat tits and mouth to work!"

 "Agh, ah! Yes sir!" Susan managed to gasp out, before dropping to her knees in front of Nicholas. As she watched with eyes widening with anticipation, he pulled his huge cock out to flop in front of her. Licking her lips in excitement, she pulled it into her mouth.

"GLRKT!"

And then she began sucking on it, while pushing her breasts up to start massaging the cock with them. While at the same time, she couldn't help but note it was not only thicker than Tony's, but twice his size, with her moaning around his cock wantonly.

"Urg, yes, take that cock, you eager whore!" Nicholas sneered, loving how easily she was giving into him. Heh, Tony must be an even more pathetic cuck that he always thought from canon if his wife was willing to throw herself at another man this easily!

 And soon enough, he'd have her not only begging for more, but have her daughter on her knees beside her, worshiping his cock.

"Urg, yes, we're going to do great things together, urg yes, show the professor your tongue work, you naughty whore~" He groaned out loud.

 For her part, Susan wasn't even thinking about what she was doing anymore. All she cared about was sucking on the delicious man meat in her mouth. She could worry about the consequences of this later, a part of her mused quietly. Right now, she should just enjoy herself~

And that's exactly what she did, as Nicholas gripped the side of her head and fucked her throat like a vicious animal. And she sucked as hard as she could while he did, loving every moment of it.

GLRKT! GLRKT! GLRKT! GLRKT! GLRKT!

 "Hmm, yes, suck your professor, earn your passing grade, slut," Nicholas further encouraged, enjoying the role-play but wondering where else to take it.

Hmm, maybe he should give her a good paddling? No, that felt too repetitive. Maybe he should conjure up some illusions of other students and have Susan help him in giving them a "practical demonstration" of sex ed?

 Yes! Yes, that could be it! He thought with glee, though just as he was casting his magic, he felt a familiar presence enter the room.

"Well, wasn't quite expecting this," said none other than Megara, giving the scene that looked straight out of a school setting porno a blink, easily realizing her master's power was at work, and also realizing that perhaps they hadn't been using it to its fullest potential role-play wise either.

"Ah, miss Megara, you're tardy. That will be detention with Miss Vandom," Her master said, giving her a stern look.

 Megara blinked, especially as her clothes suddenly changed into a short grey skirt, a white button-up shirt that strained against her large bust, and a blue tie that hanged loosely over her chest and seemed to highlight her breasts as it lay against them. However, she quickly caught onto what her master was getting at, and smirked.

"Ahem... yes sir, Mr. Flamel, I'm so sorry," she said with a mockingly sweet tone.

 "Of course you're sorry, disobedient whores like you and Vandom are always sorry, right class?" He called over his shoulder as desks and students formed behind him, a few of them familiar faces.

"Hmm, that's right professor, they to be disciplined," Said the illusion form of Audrey with a smirk.

 "Yes, naughty sluts need to be reminded of their place," an illusion of Wonder Woman sneered in agreement.

Despite knowing that they weren't real, Megara still couldn't help but glare at the images of the brat queen and her Amazon whore... though she had to admit, they looked hot in those schoolgirl uniforms they were also wearing~

 "Mmm, thank goodness, we have the best professor to teach whores like this proper conduct," the illusion of that fat tit whore Velma Dinkley said with a frown, but shot Nicholas a loving gaze.

"Probably what the slut wants," said the illusion form of Raven of the Teen Titans in a dry monotone.

 Ugh, now he was bringing in sluts that he wanted but hadn't claimed yet? Tch, well, it didn't matter - they weren't actually here to enjoy his touch and cock, but she was~

"Oh yes, I'm a naughty slut who needs my teacher to put me in my place~" she purred, slowly unbuttoning her shirt to let her breasts bounce free.

 "And you know I can satisfy you so much more than this geeky loser," She added, approaching his side and pressing her breasts against him, while channeling her inner mean girl, "You want top of the food chain, not this bottom of the barrel geek who doesn't know how to satisfy a real man~"

She added, sending the diplomat a mocking smirk before pulling Nicholas into a hungry kiss, as Susan found herself looking up with a slight glare as she continued to work on the huge cock in her mouth and between her mounds. Who did this servant bitch think that she was, talking down to her like that? She could please Nicholas more than she ever could!

...Not that she wanted to, of course, she quickly reminded herself. This was purely a onetime transactional deal, that was all!

 She just didn't like this bitch thinking she could just step in and take control, or treat her like she didn't know what she was doing! She knew the others had to be illusions; I mean, the Queen of Kaznia and Wonder Woman herself were a pretty good clue as to that, but the bitch she was sure was real. And while she wasn't on board with this part of the deal, that didn't mean she wanted to be shown up or have what enjoyment she could get out of this spoiled.

 So, she was going to be sure to prove herself as the best lover here, she told herself as she increased the pace of the blowjob that she was giving to Nicholas, who groaned appreciatively in response.

 It seemed Megara's taunting was motivating Susan further, excellent~ A little competition would only make this more fun and push her further into his arms, the man who was secretly Skeleton King thought as he made out with Megara, making out with her before pulling back.

"Urg, yes... oooh, excellent sucking technique, Vandom, I think you, urg, could teach Miss Egan a thing or two~" He said with a teasing smirk as Megara gave a scowl, scoffing.

"Please, this geek's probably completely vanilla, probably just lays on her back and takes it for a minute, bet she's never done anything really dirty or depraved," She said, before kissing at Nicholas' neck hungrily, "Not like me, Professor, I'm your dirty filthy slut~ I need to be disciplined long and hard~" she moaned wantonly, "Do whatever you want to me, you know I can take it~" she moaned, grinding against him.

 "Urg, oh I will... but, urg, question is, who is the naughtier between you and Vandom? Urg, who needs my discipline more?!" Nicholas groaned.

"Urg, me! I need it!" Susan gasped, removing her lips from Nicholas' cock, pressing her breasts tightly around his cock just as he groaned, cumming all over them and her face.

 Fuck, she'd never experienced this before, she thought as she enjoyed the sensation of the hot seed running down her face and chest. Tony had never done anything like this, she couldn't help but think...

"Mmm, ah, ah, I still need to be properly punished~" she said with a happy moan.

"No, punish me!" Megara pleaded, rubbing her breasts against NIcholas, "Worst she's probably ever done was forget to recycle, you know I'm a bad girl through and through~" she added with a moan, humping his side and getting a glare from Susan.

"Hmm, true... but what do you think, class?" Nicholas called over to the illusionary class with a smirk, "Who here is the bigger slut needing punishment?"

"Hmm, tough to say Professor, they're both honestly pathetic and beneath you," Audrey said with a sneer of contempt.

"I think Vandom's more pathetic, not resisting being face-fucked," Raven sneered.

"No, it's definitely Egan," Velma said, "Vandom's getting punished at least, but Egan's the one who actually threw herself at him."

"Guess there's only one way to settle this," Wonder Woman said with a smirk, "A bad girl slut off~" she said, getting hoots and whistles from the others at that.

"Hehe, an excellent idea~" Nicholas intoned, smirking and shooting both Megara and Susan a leer, "Whoever proves themselves more of a slut and bad girl, gets to be discipline by me first~"

"Sounds good to me," Megara said with a smirk, "After all, it won't even be a competition~"

"You're right, it won't, because I'm going to win easily," Susan said with a sneer as she stood up, glaring at the uppity slut who walked in where she wasn't wanted.

"You? Please," Megara gave a scoff, "What's the worst you've ever done, an overdue library book?" she asked in a mocking baby cooing voice, "Never mind, bet you don't how to really have fun beyond missionary~"

 "I can take it anyway you can think of!" Susan snapped, even though she did know that she and Tony had never really done anything too exotic in the bedroom. But she wasn't about to admit that to this bitch!

 "Hmm, I'll bring the handcuffs, wax, and whip, think you can handle it?" Megara asked mockingly.

 "Bring it on, bitch!" Susan spat, not letting her concern at those prospects show... and a part of her wondering why she felt a small thrill at what was being proposed.

"Uh-oh, sounds like she's not intimidated by you, Meg~" Wonder Woman said mockingly.

 "Please, like she could compete with my girls~" Megara said, squeezing her breasts; she might have a D cup too, but in Meg's eyes, her tits were clearly superior.

"Or this ass~" She added, smacking it for emphasis before turning around to bend and twerk her ass.

 Scowling at this, especially seeing how Nicholas was eying the whore's ass, Susan growled and lashed out on instinct.

SMACK

"Ah! What the fuck?!" Megara demanded in outrage as she realized that Susan had just hit her ass.

 "Oh?" Nicholas arched a brow, smirking at the sight.

"What's the matter, can the naughty slut not take the pain?" Susan asked with a mocking smirk.

 Megara scowled at that, trying to regain her composure, and scoffed.

"Of course I can. I'm just surprised at how I ALMOST felt that," she sneered, "For a moment, I was nearly impressed."

 "Oh, if you want it to hurt, I can make it hurt," Susan said with a glare, as something about this bitch was getting on her nerves, "And that's not how you twerk an ass," she added, twisting her backside toward Nicholas, "This is how you twerk an ass!"

She began twerking as hard as she could, shaking her ass all over for Nicholas to enjoy. Seeing this, and her lover's growing smirk, Megara scowled harder.

"Oh please, let me show you how it's done!" she snapped, twerking even harder herself, with Nicholas smirking widely, enjoying the show.

"Come on girls, show me how down and dirty you can really get! Shake those sexy asses for me! Make your boyfriends jealous of your favorite teacher~" He said, lifting up glowing hands and laying a double hit on both of their asses.

SMACK-ZAP

"AH! FUCK!" Megara gasped.

SMACK-ZAP

"AH! FUCK YES! HIT ME HARDER, TEACHER!" Susan moaned in turn, "PUNISH THIS SLUTTY STUDENT!"

"NO! PUNISH ME! I'M A BIGGER WHORE THAN HER!" Megara moaned.

"YOU WISH!" Susan called with a glare as Nicholas laid another set of hits on their asses.

SMACK-ZAP

SMACK-ZAP

"AH! YOU WANNA BET?!" Megara yelled challengingly with a glare.

"AH! Ah, ah, ah, anytime and place!" Susan said, shooting a glare, "i'm cheating on my man by doing this, what's more whorish than that!" she said with a smirk... a part of her wondering why she actually felt pride in a statement so wrong?

But before she could really consider that, Megara scoffed, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Please, you think I'm not doing that?" she sneered, "I've got a loyal boy-toy following me around like a puppy back home, and I ditched him to throw myself at master's feet! And unlike you, I'm not pretending it's a one-and-done thing, I'm in it for the long haul!"

She gave a cutting smirk, "Because unlike you, I'm woman enough to handle this cock," she added, pressing her ass against Nicholas' cock.

 "I could take it longer and harder than you ever could!" Susan snapped, glaring at Megara, not even thinking about what she was saying. While also moving to bump Meg to the side, causing a glare, but soon both girls were on either side of Nicholas, his cock sandwiching it between their asses.

"Then prove it, you old prune!" Megara said with a sneer.

"You better believe I will, bitch!" Susan snarled, grinding her ass against Nicholas's cock.

Though despite her anger and indignation, a part of her couldn't help but feel so fucking aroused right now. She sure as hell hadn't ever done anything like this with Tony, much less ever had another woman join in. Perhaps... to make up for this, she should see if Sarina would be interested in a threesome with her and Tony? 

She was certain that her friend had a crush on her husband, and knew that he also found her attractive, even if he was smart enough to never really talk about it in front of her. So, it might be fun to consider pursuing something that spicy once she was back home.

 But for now, she might as well try to enjoy herself while showing this bitch what an old prune like her can do~

"Urg, fuck.." Nicholas said with a groaning smirk, enjoying the improv butt job clearly, "You two sluts really want to be disciplined, urg, but maybe I should give you two A's for this alone... what do you think, class?" Nicholas asked with a smirk.

"So they can shake their asses, so what?" Raven said blandly, "Any bitch can do that, doesn't prove they're bad girls."

 "That's right, they should do something to really degrade themselves to prove that they deserve you, sir," Velma stated.

"Yes, let's see who can come up with the most pathetic thing that they can do to prove their loyalty to you," Wonder Woman added.

 "Easy, get me a dog bowl, cum in it, and I'll eat it straight out of the bowl like the bitch I am," Megara said with a smirk and moan.

 "Please, you call that being treated like a bitch?" Susan sneered, "Put a collar on me and walk me naked and on all fours, all over the city for everyone to see!"

"Oh, that could be fun~" Nicholas said, reaching up to squeeze Susan's breast. Seeing this, and how Susan moaned at his touch, Megara growled and gnashed her teeth. Like Hell she was letting this slut show her up!

"Tie me up in the courtyard and let every man use my body!" she yelled, "I'll spend the whole day being used like the whore I am while telling them what pathetic limp dick losers that they are when compared to you!"

"Hmm, tempting, quite tempting, certainly would show why I'm superior... even though I detest the idea of other men touching my property," Nicholas said with a thoughtful hum, smirking as he raised his other hand to give Megara's ass a hit.

SMACK-ZAP

"AH! Yes, you're right master, no one else should touch your sluts!" Megara said with moan, before giving a smirk and adding, "But doesn't that just make me a naughtier bad girl, that I'm willing to do that?"

"Heh, I suppose it does~ Don't you agree, girls?" Nicholas agreed with a smirk.

"She always did come across as an easy whore, sir," Audrey answered with a huff.

"It'd certainly show she's a disloyal bitch who needs your discipline," Wonder Woman agreed with a nod.

Megara kept the smirk, but also shot the illusion of the two bitches glares. While Susan herself scowled.

"Well, I'll let you livestream fucking me! Let everyone on the internet jerk off to you ploughing my body!" She shouted, "Hell, I don't even care if my husband and daughter see me whoring myself out!"

And honestly, in that moment, she didn't. Once her head cleared, Susan would be shocked at herself for even considering letting her family see her act like this, but right now, the prospect just made it hotter~

"What a slut," Velma said, her tone full of disdain.

"Quite an example for her daughter she's setting," Raven said bluntly.

"Please, her daughter would probably be jilling to the show and begging to join in," Wonder Woman said with a snort, shaking her head in disgust.

"True, though honestly if she really wanted to be a bad girl, she would not only give Meridian's secrets to Kaznia, but call her husband while getting fucked like the cheating whore she obviously is," Audrey added with a smirk.

"Ugh, ah, yes! I'll do that if you want! Whatever you need, I'll give you!" Susan moaned, not even really registering what was being said, which made Nicholas smirk.

Oh yes, he had her broken in fairly quickly, hadn't he? Soon, he'd be able to get her to spy on Meridian for him for real... and maybe get ahold of Will and the other Guardians too while he was at it~ He could already picture himself on a throne, all the Guardians and Elyon naked on their knees, moaning and pleading for his touch~

And the image, along with the asses pressing against his cock, was enough to set him off, with him groaning as he cum over Megara and Susan's cheeks.

"Ah, ah, ah, what say we put that to the test?" Nicholas said with a leering smirk shot toward Susan, "You call your husband and daughter right now, and I'll give you the hard discipline you clearly desire, Ms. Vandom, and then some~"

He said, while reaching up to grab and pull Susan into his lap, claiming her lips hungrily while Megara scowled off to the side. What the fuck? That should be her, not this whore! Why was her master/lover showing her favor when she was just a tool, not a proper lover like herself?!

While Megara was steaming in anger, Susan's mind was whirling, and not just from pleasure. Despite the ecstasy of what she was experiencing, a small part of her was still coherent enough to react in shock at what had just been suggested.

Did Nicholas really expect her to call up Tony and Will while she was literally in the middle of having an affair?!

"Think of how exciting it'd be," Nicholas said, kissing at her breasts while reaching up to grab and squeeze one, "To talk with your family while they have no idea what a slut you're being on the other side of the phone."

He said with a smirk, his lips capturing her nipple, sucking it while twisting the other.

"Ahh! I... Nicholas, I..." Susan moaned, hating that part of herself had to admit that sounded so hot... but could she really?

"She won't do it, master," Megara said, leaning to his side, rubbing her breasts against his arm, "She's too spineless, not like me," she said with a smirk, "If you want, I can call up that cuck Wonderboy and tell him how I miss him while you're screwing me right in the ass~"

She said, kissing his neck, "Because you know I can satisfy your desires, unlike this bitch."

At those words, Susan's concerns were brushed aside by a wave of anger.

How dare this slut?! She was twice the woman this bitch could ever hope to be, and if proving that meant calling her family while getting fucked by a virtual stranger, then so be it!

"Get me my phone!" she declared firmly.

 Nicholas, at that, gave a smirk and concentrated his magical power through the illusion, and suddenly surrounded by a glow, Susan's cell phone hovered in front of her.

"You don't have the guts," Megara sneered at the woman, feeling a flare of jealousy raising up for some reason, "You'll probable chicken out or confess the moment they answer."

 "Just watch and see, bitch," Susan sneered, glaring at Megara as she pulled up her contacts and selected her husband's number, hitting it without a moment's hesitation. The phone rang for a few seconds, before clicking as it was answered.

"Uh, hi honey! Wasn't expecting a call already," Tony's voice said over the phone, sounding slightly nervous for some reason, though Susan didn't notice.

 "Hi dear, yeah, the negotiations are, umm... proving difficult, but we're taking a break and wanted to check on you and Will," Susan said, trying to hold back a moan as Nicholas kissed at her breasts, and oh God, where was he putting that finger?! She thought as she felt a hand go under the skirt and enter her ass!

 "Oh, we're fine," Tony said, oblivious to how his wife was currently being anally fingered by another man and biting her lip to keep from screaming, "But, uh, Will's not here right now. She's with her friends for their... after school club."

Which was code for Guardian training, Susan knew. Though the fact that he wasn't just saying that was strange; was there someone else there with him who might hear?

 "Ah, a shame, so you're home by yourself, or someone with you?" Susan asked, wanting to probe for an answer so she knew what was okay to talk about, while letting out a slight gasp as Megara suddenly leaned in and bit hard, emphasis on hard, on her nipple.

"Um, actually Sarina stopped by for a visit," Tony admitted, missing that gasp but also sounding a bit nervous.

"Oh, ah, that's nice of her," Susan said, too distracted to wonder why her friend, who was also one of Will's teachers, was visiting while Tony was home alone.

"Yeah, ah, so... any idea how long you'll be gone?" Tony asked.

 "Ah, how long?" Susan asked with a gasp, while feeling Nicholas kiss at her neck as he fingered her ass, and the bitch sucked on her tit, "Um, well... not sure," she answered for some reason, instead of saying she should be home soon if not tomorrow even. The negotiations were practically done; admittedly, she was now technically plotting treason, but only technically because Elyon was the rightful heir... but still, working with and in bed with a foreign power, even if supposed to be a one-time thing, she... ooh, God, what was Nicholas doing?! She thought as she suddenly felt like a spark in her ass!

 Shit! Was he zapping her asshole from the inside?!

...Fuck, why was she enjoying that?!

"Oh, okay, I see," Tony said, sounding relieved, though Susan didn't really register it in light of what she was experiencing, "Well, just let me know when you're on the way back... um, so I can prepare something special for you, obviously. No other reason, just trying to be nice."

Being as caught up as she was in being finger-fucked, Susan didn't notice Tony's strange wording, or how nervous he was suddenly sounding. But it was certainly noticed by Megara, who arched a brow, and Nicholas who had a feeling there was more reason behind it than that, while at the same time the bed formed back in the room, partially breaking the illusion, though the illusionary "schoolgirls" remained in place as Susan was suddenly lifted up and put on the bed, while Nicholas whispered huskily in her ear.

"Tell him you want to do some quick phone sex~"

 Susan paused at that, caught off guard by the absurd idea of such a thing... but quickly brushed it aside with the sheer thrill of tricking Tony like that. Getting fucked by another man, while tricking him into thinking it was just pretend? She'd never done anything like that before, and it sounded so exciting!

"Mmm, say, honey? You want to try something a little fun right now?" she asked huskily into the phone.

 "Uhh, fun, ah... what do you have in mind?" Tony asked, giving off a groan and sounding slightly distracted, though once again with Susan getting ass-fingered and the form of Nicholas looming over her while Megara crawled next to her with a slight annoyed look, she didn't notice.

"Mmm, well, ah, I'm in a private room... and the next meeting won't be for a bit... so, ah, ah, how about some phone sex?" Susan offered with a groan.

"Um, ah, really?" Tony asked in genuine surprise, "That, uh, doesn't sound like something you'd like."

"Mmm, well... why not? Why shouldn't we try it just this once?" Susan asked, biting back on a moan as Nicholas teased her cunt with his fingers.

"I'm already so wet and horny for you, ah!" Susan admitted, moaning as Nicholas sent another spark of energy through his fingers into her pussy, a part of her not even sure she was addressing her husband, and another part of her, to her slight shame as that bitch Megara grabbed her by the chin to turn her head before pulling her into a hungry kiss, couldn't help but wonder if Will could do the same thing with her own fingers as Nicholas.

Ugh, what was that about? Why would she be thinking about her own daughter while having sex?! She was screwed up in the head for going through with this whole affair in the first place, but she shouldn't be thinking about her child on top of it! No matter what a beautiful young woman Will was blossoming into, with her bright red hair shining like fire, to brown eyes filled with such passion and energy, to... ah...

"Ah God!" Susan moaned louder as Nicholas bit down on her tit, sending a surge of energy through his teeth now apparently, along with his fingers into her cunt again, and just as she broke the kiss with Megara to moan, she herself bit down hard on her neck, and God, the pain itself felt incredible!

 It pushed any thoughts about Will, or anything else for that matter, clear out of her head. She could worry about it later, she told herself.

"Ugh, ah, yeah, I'm getting pretty hot myself," Tony groaned over the phone, sounding too distracted to notice Susan's odd noises.

"Ah, ah, yes I, ah, just want you to stick it in and, ah, ah, fuck me like the horny slutty schoolgirl I am!" Susan moaned, with Nicholas pulling back and aligning his cock with Susan's cunt.

"Schoolgirl?" Tony questioned, a hint of confusion entering his tone.

"Ah, ah, just, mmm, some rolePLAY!" Susan tried to explain, only for Nicholas to thrust inside right at that moment and start to fuck her like an animal, and God, he filled her so fucking good!

Shit, he was so much bigger than Tony was! And made her feel so damn good!

"Um, okay, I guess I can do that," Tony said, confused but playing along, "Uhh... you're a bad, bad girl."

Oh God, was that really the best that he could do? Susan thought with a frown, rolling her eyes at Tony's piss-poor dirty talk while she thrust back against Nicholas as he pounded her.

"Hmm, yes, you're a dirty cheating slut... bet you love that cock don't you... bet you'll come crawling back for more," Megara leaned into her ear and started to whisper, while grabbing and twisting her nipple.

"Ahh, yes, I'm a bad slutty girl!" Susan moaned as Nicholas growled, hammering into her cunt like a machine, "Ah, ah, ah, defile me! Ruin me for other men!"

"Um, ah, ah, okay, I will!" Tony moaned, sounding so pathetic over the phone, "I'm gonna fuck you so bad... ugh... argh... make you my slut!"

If Susan even noticed that Tony was grunting and moaning himself, she just told herself that he was probably jerking off his subpar pecker to their dialogue, she thought, not even noticing she called her husband's dick subpar, more focused on the feeling of Nicholas pounding harder and harder, and oh God, his entire body was glowing and she felt a surge of warmth spread from her cunt to the rest of her body.

"Ah, ah, ah, yes! Make me your slut! Ah, ah, ah, mark me as your property! Knock me up! Give my baby a little sibling!"

 She wasn't even talking to Tony anymore, and she didn't care. Nicholas was amazing, and if she could carry his child, that would be incredible!

"Ugh, ah, y-yeah, I'm gonna knock you up!" Tony declared, grunting harder but also sounding distracted, as if he wasn't really talking to Susan either.

"Ah, yes! Ah, ah, ah, knock me up! Ah, ah, take me out on a leash like an animal and fuck me in front of the entire kingdom, ah, ah, both Kaznia and Meridian to see!" Susan moaned as Nicholas lifted up her left foot, licking up her leg to her heel before licking the bottom of her foot as his glowing form pounded harder and harder.

"Ah, fuck, that's it, pound the slut, master... teach her place like you did the rest of us!" called out the voice of Audrey, and when Susan turned her head she saw the classroom scene had vanished, but the women - Wonder Woman, Queen Audrey, that glasses-wearing girl, and that gothic-looking girl that looked familiar - were all naked on their knees with collars, playing with their bodies and rubbing heavily pregnant stomachs.

"Mmm, yes, show her that she's nothing but a hole for your cock, and a womb for your seed!" Wonder Woman declared, the other pregnant women echoing the sentiment.

Lying next to Susan and toying with her breasts, Megara couldn't help but scowl at this. Sure, she knew it was just an illusion, but it still felt disconcerting to see all those whores pregnant with her master's children while she wasn't. Admittedly, she wasn't one to heavily consider motherhood in the past or thought she was ready for it... but at the same time, she wanted her man's babies! God... was she really that far gone? She asked herself as Susan exploded in pleasure beside her.

"AHHHH! MASTER! YES!"

"Oh God, Sa- Susan!" Tony cried over the phone as he also came, Susan too high on her own orgasm to notice that he almost said a name other than her own.

"Ah, ah, ah, you're, ah, ah, amazing..." Susan moaned, looking up at the smirking form of Nicholas after he finished cumming inside her, with him leering down at her as he leaned down to kiss her neck.

"Better than your husband?" He asked with a smirk.

"So much better," Susan found herself saying aloud in a daze.

"Ah, ah, better than what?" Tony asked, though he sounded distracted.

"Ah, well, umm, I..." Susan stammered. Suddenly, Megara knocked on the wall next to the bed and loudly called out.

"Mrs. Vandom, sorry to disturb you, but Mr. Flamel is ready to restart the negotiations," she said loudly.

"Ah, yes... coming... sorry Tony, have to go," Susan said, latching onto the lifeline.

"Um, okay. I probably need to go too," Tony said quickly.

"Right, call you later, bye," Susan said quickly, hanging up and thus missing the sound of someone else talking to Tony on the other end as she did so.

"Heh, so tell me, how have you enjoyed the roleplay and the naughty thrill of another man taking you while your husband was on the phone?" Nicholas questioned, leering down at her.

"Bet the slut loved it, bet she wants you to fuck her all night long, master~" Audrey called with a giggle before Nicholas snapped his fingers, vanishing away the illusions of the pregnant women and restoring the room back to normal.

"Ah, ah, ah... I... I wouldn't mind that," Susan said, panting for breath and feeling a mixture of both ecstasy and shame. Ecstasy because that was the greatest sex of her life... and shame because it hadn't been with her husband!

What had she been thinking?! Why would she do this?! It wasn't enough she was cheating on Tony, but for her to do it while she was on the phone with him! What was wrong with her?! And why had it felt so good?!

Though before she could think too deeply on it, she felt Nicholas cup her cheek as he leaned over with a smirk.

"Neither would I~" He said huskily, kissing her hungrily, and Susan returned it instinctively with a moan while he cupped and squeezed a breast, savoring the kiss for a moment before it broke, "In fact, I wouldn't mind taking the chance to not just renegotiate Kaznia and Meridian's future together once Elyon assumes the throne, but renegotiate our future work together as well~" He said with a leer, eyes gleaming as he kissed at her neck.

 In that moment, Susan felt any doubts fade away. Right now, all she cared about was how good this felt~

"Mmm, ah, I think that can be arranged~" she moaned, leaning into his touch. She knew she said this would be one-time thing, but... well, if she really wanted to work with him against Phobos... she needed some form of leverage... and if he found her sexually attractive, why not use it?

It'd all be worth it, with Phobos stopped and Elyon assuming her rightful place on the throne, and what Tony and Will didn't know wouldn't hurt them... right?

"Good. Now, get into position. I want to fuck you like a horny cheating bitch~" Nicholas said, causing Susan to flush.

"Yes sir," she said, turning onto her stomach and raising her ass into the air. And the next thing she knew...

"FUCK YES!"

PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP

She was getting screwed right in the asshole like a bitch whore and loving it!

"Okay, you can take a cock, but can you eat a cunt?" Before finding herself grabbed roughly by the hair and forced onto Megara's cunt, and by instinct she started to eat her out.

"Ahhh, please, ahhh, any college girl knows how to, ahhh, do this!" Susan moaned challengingly.

 "Then, ah, ah, prove it, bitch!" Megara grunted, hating to admit that Susan was actually pretty good at this.

Not that it mattered, of course. This just meant that the slut would be a good bottom of the harem shared by her and HER man.

 And Skeleton King was her man. Maybe this whole thing was first just for power and sex, and maybe she hadn't gotten to spend as much time with him as other whores, but she loved him, and she'd prove she was worth the investment and was the one that should be Queen, not over just Kaznia but everything he conquered.

 But for now, she'd settle for putting this bitch in her place! She thought as she shoved Susan's face further into her snatch.

 And as she did so, her master smirked, leering at the form of Susan Vandom as he pounded into her, because whether she realized it or not, she not only belonged to Skeleton King, but would act as the instrument of his will to seize control over Meridian and the prizes within.

Oh, he thought, his eyes glowing, it never failed to amaze how well sex and power went hand in hand~

SMACK-ZAP

"AH!" Susan let out a moan at the shocked hit to her ass.

"Moan for your master, Susan! And scream for the new era you will help him bring!" He yelled, cackling and his form glowing with power as he took Susan's ass with mad glee.

 "AH! AH! AH! MASSSSSSTTTTEEERRRRR!" Susan screamed in delight, unable to think about anything but pleasing her new lover.

Later, she would regret all of this... but right now, it was all that mattered to her.

(Alabasta)

A convoy of military vehicles rumbled through the nighttime desert, a particularly large van sitting in the middle, flanked by jeeps full of armed soldiers. Inside the van, the captured Intergang members sat shackled to benches lining the walls, metahuman power-dampening collars locked around their necks.

"Why do I have one of these? My abilities aren't a meta power, they come from my paints, which were confiscated," Miss Goldenweek complained in her usual flat tone, gesturing to her collar.

 "Because when it comes to high-risk terrorist agents, we don't take chances," Spoke the form of Rick Flagg Jr. with a scowl as he stood in the middle of the van, keeping a stern eye on the prisoners.

"We're not terrorists!" Miss Valentine protested, not liking that label for a variety of reasons. 

"You incited a civil war and attempted a coup in a foreign country, placing the United States of America in an awkward position to say the least in the process," Flagg said, tone and expression dry as could be, "You're a terrorist."

"Not exactly the kinda thing I wanted on my resume," Mr. 2 said with a sigh while Valentine let out a croaked sob, whining out, "I just wanted to open a cafe!'

 "You knowingly joined Intergang and signed up with Crocodile's plans, the same as the rest of us," Mr. 1 grumbled, "Stop complaining about it and shut up already."

"Oh, fuck you!" Valentine snapped at him, "At least the rest of us had motives beyond causing chaos! You were just Crocodile's lapdog!"

"She has a point dear, you really should have a life outside your work," Miss Doublefinger commented to her partner, who just grunted at her.

Valentine turned to the other woman and was going to snap about how that wasn't what she meant, but Mr. 5 just raised a hand to cut her off.

"Don't start up a whole argument about it. It's going to be a long trip," he said with a sigh.

"Yes it is, so I suggest you all get comfortable and start thinking about what you're going to say at your trials," Flagg scoffed... though a part of him half-expected that he'd be receiving orders from Waller to arrange for a few faked deaths in order to get at least some of this lot in CADMUS's custody before things got as far as a courthouse. After all, CADMUS was always looking for new resources, and this sorry lot could be put to good use with... proper motivation, he thought with a stern glare, not exactly impressed with the people who helped cause a war and international incident.

It seemed that certain criminal elements were getting too bold. He'd have to talk with Waller about using what was left of Intergang as an example for what happens when they cross the line into international terrorism. At least some criminals and loons like the Joker usually had the grace to keep their chaos confined to one city, barring certain incidents like in Joker's case when he tried to recruit some metahumans from Dakota City, nevermind the nightmare of Vegas and the damage he caused using the still MIA Ace.

But he dismissed those thoughts for now as he added out loud, "But if you really feel like talking, you could share what you know of Lothor's operations in Alabasta," He said with a stern glare, "Was Crocodile repeating his predecessor's mistake in trying to do business with an alien warlord only for negotiations to fail spectacularly or what?"

 "Are you kidding?" Mr. 5 asked with a sneer, "We were minding our own business with our operation, when he showed up and started fighting our people! We don't know why he was there, but it sure as Hell wasn't to try and ally with us!"

"Then why was he there? Did he give any indication at all?" Flagg demanded, glaring at the Intergang members. Several of them exchanged looks, silently considering whether they should bring up Lothor's alliance with Vivi, which Flagg didn't seem to know about, or if they should save that tidbit for when their lawyers started talking about deals.

Before they could make a decision, however-

BOOM

The van shook as something exploded outside.

Immediately, Flagg's military training kicked in as he pulled out his sidearm.

"What the hell?!" He called out with a low stern scowl.

"Oh, what now?!" Valentine groaned, actually just wanting to leave this litter box of a country already. But Mr. 2 then spoke up with an eager grin, prompting mixed looks from the others.

"Ah, sounds like our legal team is here," the flamboyant man declared a tad smugly.

"So, Intergang's attempting a rescue," Flagg stated, scowling at Mr. 2, who merely smirked.

"Not quite, soldier boy~"

"2? What's going on?" Doublefinger asked, slightly nervous at seeing how uncharacteristically smug Mr. 2 was acting.

"Well, here's the thing," he said with a smirk, "Lothor wasn't in the mood to negotiate with Intergang when he first arrived... but afterwards, when he had the upper hand? He was very willing to start offering deals."

"What?!" Mr. 1 exclaimed in outrage, while the others looked on in shock, "You'd dare make a deal with that alien after he interfered and ruined all of our plans?!"

"Given the alternative?" Mr. 2 replied, gesturing to their shackles and collars, "You better believe I did, darling."

 Mr. 1 glared, scowling while the others exchanged conflicted looks, unsure where to stand on this revelation, though Doublefinger had a gleam of interest in her eyes.

Flagg, on the other hand, had his mind racing, internally cursing. If the convoy really was being attacked by Lothor, he wasn't sure how well his soldiers would fair against the alien ninja; due to the precarious position Intergang put America in with their actions, he couldn't exactly walk into the foreign kingdom with meta-power backup, even for the express purpose of prisoner transport. But if Lothor wasn't stopped, he could gain dangerous new followers for his agenda.

"So just relax, we'll be free as birds soon, and you can all conduct your job interviews with Mr. Shinobi momentarily," Mr. 2 said smugly, before freezing as something pressed against his forehead.

"One problem with your plan," Flagg stated with a flat look but hard tone.

CLICK

He cocked the pistol in his hand, pressing it against Mr. 2's head, "You all need to be alive for him to get his new assets."

 "Ah..." Mr. 2 gulped, paling at that, "I suppose I did overlook that detail in my excitement."

"Ya think?" Mr. 5 asked flatly, before glancing at Flagg, "Since none of us knew about this, any chance you'll spare the rest of us and just kill him?"

"Hey now!" Mr. 2 yelled, darting his eyes over to glare at his colleague but keeping his head frozen for fear of sudden movement making Flagg pull the trigger.

 "Sorry, but if Lothor really is attacking, then it's my duty as a soldier to deny the enemy his goal," Flagg said flatly, "Especially when it's rats who will likely sell out the planet to save their own skin."

"Ah well, can't say I didn't live a good life," Miss Goldenweek stated calmly to that statement, despite tension spiking, "Though I never did learn what the big deal was with sex," she added, cocking her head, "Or get the 500 bucks that Mr. 3 owes me back."

 "Seriously? I know you chemically dulled your emotions, but we're about to die here!" Valentine snapped at the younger girl in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm aware," Goldenweek replied, still just as calm as before, in sharp contrast to Mr. 2, whose eyes widened as he watched Flagg's finger started to twitch on the trigger of his gun...

SLING

SLING

And then the rear door of the van was slashed through with a blade in an X shape, its pieces falling away to reveal Zurgane with his sword drawn.

"Good evening," he greeted, before Flag spun around on instinct and opened fire.

BANG

BANG

BANG

However, the bullets just bounced off of Zurgane's armor without doing any damage.

 "Amusing," Zurgane said, giving a chuckle as he looked at Flagg, "I see steel in your eyes... but this is not a fight you can win," He intoned, approaching with swords raised.

"We'll see," Flagg said simply, grabbing something from his waist before lobbing it toward Zurgane, who moved to cut it down.

BOOM

Just to have it explode in his face.

 "Urgh!" Zurgane growled as he stumbled back, only to be tackled by Flagg, both of them stumbling out into the desert outside.

"Hmm, I have mixed feelings about who I want to win," Mr. 1 said, scowling at the presence of the samurai who had matched him and kept him from fulfilling his employer's goal.

"I don't! Kick his ass, Mr. Samurai!" Mr. 2 called out, practically crying in relief at not having been shot.

 Though as he cheered on, the others exchanged looks.

"So, what's the plan here?" Miss Goldenweek asked bluntly.

"We ain't exactly drowning in prospects, and Lothor doesn't come across as a man who takes no as an answer," Doublefinger pointed out.

 "Are we seriously supposed to trust the guy who wrecked our plans?" Valentine asked incredulously, "How do we know that he's not just coming here to finish us off?!"

"Considering his apparent relationship with the princess, he could have done that at any time while we were in the dungeons," Mr. 5 pointed out.

 "He's got a point, he could have made it look like a suicide," Goldenweek said flatly, "Plus, with Crocodile dead, Intergang's going to go through a power struggle for who gets his spot, and that seems like way too much of a headache to deal with," She added with a shrug.

 "A very good point," Doublefinger said, grimacing as she remembered what things had been like after Mannheim had died from his foolish alliance with Darkseid and every prominent agent had started fighting for control of the organization. That was not a mess that she wanted to go through again, thank you very much.

"So, we all in agreement to give this a shot?" Mr. 5 asked, making Valentine sigh.

"Fine, but only because I don't see any other options," she grumbled.

 Mr. 1, however, just gave a dark scowl, huffing and turning his head away from the others.

"Mr. 1?" Doublefinger questioned with a concerned frown, but was ignored.

And during all this, chaos happened outside as soldiers fought against Kelzaks.

WHAM

Well, soldiers and one agent from Global Justice.

"I'm beginning to detest this country," Said the form of Will Du after kicking a Kelzak back. He'd been recovering from that fiasco at the casino when Lothor's attack had occurred, after which Doctor Director had ordered him to stay in place in order to give them eyes on the ground. Afterwards, when word had come down about the prisoner transfer, he'd gotten new orders to liaison with the American forces sent to carry it out, providing extra security while using them as a ride out of town.

Now, he was wishing he'd been more banged up in the casino and unable to participate, because he was not in the mood for what this simple escort mission had turned into!

 "Perhaps I should start inquiring into my vacation hours," He muttered, before dodging one slash from a Kelzak before grabbing their wrist and flipping them onto their back, "Honestly, at this point it feels like I've earned one," He muttered, shaking his head, "I'd actually prefer dealing with the amateur and her buffoon over this."

 "Perhaps you should consider retiring, then?" a voice called out.

"Yeah, maybe I..." Will started to say, only to freeze as he registered the voice. Turning to face the speaker, he was greeted by the sight of Lothor standing nearby, hands on his hips and smirking smugly.

"Having a nice night?" he asked the agent. Who, after getting over his surprise at Lothor's appearance, quickly responded appropriately.

 "Surrender! Under the authority granted to me by Global Justice I'm placing you under arrest!" Will barked out in battle stance, while Lothor gave him a look that was a mixture of amusement if not slight disbelief.

 "You're kidding, right?" Lothor said dryly, gesturing to their surroundings. Will followed his hand and grimaced as he saw that most of the escorting troops had been taken out of commission by the Kelzaks. In fact, it looked like Flagg was the only person other than himself still standing, and he was busy grappling with Zurgane.

"I think it might be better if YOU surrender instead," Lothor stated, "Or you can fight and I can beat you into the ground. Your choice."

 "Do you honestly think we'd be escorting dangerous superpowered terrorists without some level of insurance?" Will, however, just scowled, seeming as confident as ever, making Lothor wonder if he was bluffing and was that arrogant, or if there was a factor here he was missing.

"Oh? And what might that be?" Lothor asked, counting on some boasting to give things away.

 Will suddenly shot Lothor a smirk as he said, "High tech security."

And at that statement, Lothor suddenly felt himself get hit by a blast of energy.

 "AGH!" Lothor yelled as he stumbled forward from the blast, before he managed to right himself. Turning around to face the source of the attack, he was greeted by the sight of a large number of what appeared to be military-grade drones - beige-colored four-legged mini-tanks with large cannons coming out of their middles, and hovering green mini-planes with large guns strapped to their undersides.

"Hmm, moderately impressive," Lothor reluctantly admitted.

He supposed he should have expected security beyond armed soldiers, and if the United Nations or certain agencies didn't want to risk metas, then some robotic muscle would be just the thing to use.

No matter, just more toys of theirs for him to break, and perhaps good training against more dangerous machines like the work of Eggman.

"I'll say it one last time, surrender. If you resist, lethal force is authorized," Will Du said, his tone hard, acting as if he was the one in control here.

"Good. That should make this more interesting~" Lothor said with a smirk. And then, without giving Will a chance to respond, he turned and ran straight towards the drones.

"Open fire!" Will ordered on instinct. This caused the drones to all begin firing their lasers at Lothor, but he managed to dart around and between them, not one of the hits connecting with him. And soon enough, he reached them, launching himself at one of the tanks; landing on top of it, he reached down and grabbed ahold of its cannon, yanking hard enough to make it turn and fire at one of the other nearby tanks.

BOOM

With it taking a heavy hit from the blast, but still managing to turn and fire upon Lothor as several air drones swooped in to do the same, with Lothor dodging with a backflip and a smirk. As he arced through the air, he launched energy blasts towards one of the air drones.

BOOM

This time, the drone exploded, and the wreckage collapsed onto the ground in front of several of the tank drones, blocking their path. As such, they were unable to fire on Lothor as he hit the ground; using this cover, he darted towards them while the air drones fired down on him from above. Ducking and rolling as he neared the closest one, he slid under it, putting it between him and the attacks from above.

BOOM

Which the air drones couldn't stop in time, destroying the tank drone that Lothor had slid under.

All of this caused Will to slightly grimace before calling out.

"Flagg! Have you subdued Lothor's minion?!" He demanded, glancing over to see Flagg grappling with Zurgane.

"Urg, I'm working on it!' Flagg grumbled as he and Zurgane continued to roll in the sand, trying to get a better hold on each other, Zurgane's sword and Flagg's gun having both long since been tossed aside.

"You're doing better than I expected, but you shouldn't expect victory so easily!" Zurgane declared, before leaning back and headbutting Flagg right in the face with his metal helm.

"Urg! Neither should you!" Flagg said, letting out a grunt of pain from the hit as he lashed out, attempting to punch the metal helm, only for Zurgane to manage to get loose, kicking Flagg off him him before rolling to the side to try to get to his weapon, with Flagg after quickly recovering himself, not wasting a moment in lunging forward to do the same.

Dropping into a roll as he hit the ground, Flagg snatched up the gun and brought it up to aim at Zurgane.

BANG

BANG

BANG

The bullets flew towards Zurgane, only for him to bring up his sword in a swing that cut all three out of the air.

"Damn it!" Flagg, despite his military training, let out a curse, scowling as Zurgane let out a chuckle.

"You'd be wise to surrender, perhaps my master will allow you to live," Zurgane said, pointing his sword toward the scowling Flagg, only for air drones to swoop in and start blasting at the samurai General, forcing him on the back step as he used his sword to block the shots, while Flagg took advantage of the distraction to make a tactical retreat over to Du.

"We need a plan!" The soldier called with a stern scowl, hating to admit it, but even with the drones, he didn't like his odds here.

"What do you expect me to do? We can't call in a larger military strike on foreign soil without permission, and we're not going to get that in the middle of this!" Will snapped.

"No, but..." Flagg's mind went back to the prisoners as he put on a firm expression, "You can keep Lothor and his man busy long enough for me to deal with what they came here for."

He said in a cold and hard as steel tone as Will's eyes widened.

"You can't seriously mean...?!" He gave the man an incredulous look.

"This is war!" Flagg barked with a stern glare, "In war, you do whatever it takes to deny the enemy their goal and assets," He reloaded his gun before cocking it, "If that means executing terrorists, then so be it."

However, before he could start to move back to the van, Will grabbed him by the arm and yanked him back to glare at him.

"We do not execute unarmed prisoners!" he snapped, "We're supposed to be better than the criminals we fight!"

"Oh, spare me your self-righteous crap!" Flagg spat, yanking his arm free, "We're the ones who protect our nation and our people, and that means making the hard choices!"

"The hard choice or the easy one?!" Will snapped, glaring at Flagg, "That's the problem with Waller and her people, you always resort to the easiest options, even if means turning children into human weapons or working with scum like Luthor!" He ranted with a grimace of disgust.

"Would you rather let those freaks just walk all over us?" Flagg sneered, "If people were more willing to do things our way, all those monsters that the so-called heroes let keep walking around wouldn't be a threat anymore!"

"Yeah, because we'd have become just as bad as them!" Will snapped, only to flinch as explosions rang through the air as Lothor and Zurgane both took out more drones, "Dammit, we don't have time for this! We need to retreat while we still can!"

"You can retreat... I'm doing my duty," Flagg retorted, before running off, heading toward the convoy.

"Flagg! Damn it!" Will cursed and moved to go after him. Terrorists or not, he couldn't let prisoners be executed in cold blood on his watch.

BOOM

And as this was happening, the drones were now attempting to circle and pin Lothor both on ground and in the air, their blasters glowing with energy, ready to fire a merciless barrage on him.

For his part, Lothor just smirked as he levitated in the air, letting them all target him... and then just as they fired, he let himself drop out of the air.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

And wouldn't you know it, the fact that the drones were circling him meant that they all ended up hitting each other.

"Ah, you've got to love typical shoddy government construction," Lothor chuckled as he watched the debris fall around him.

 Thunk

Before giving a blink as the form of one of the airborne drones, sliced in two, was thrown in front of him.

"It's a far cry from the pocket remnants of the Machine Empire we've encountered in the past, sir," Zurgane said with a nod as he approached, "But I believe that leaves only two enemy combatants standing in the way of your goal, sir."

 "Excellent, then let's go," Lothor said, turning to head towards the van, only to pause and raise an eyebrow as he saw that Rick Flagg and Will Du were struggling with each other by the vehicle.

"Out of my way, you spineless idiot!" Flagg growled, trying to shove Will aside, only for the spy to grab him in a hold.

"No! We can't uphold justice by committing crimes ourselves!" Will yelled as Flagg struggled in his grip.

"...Or we could just let them deal with each other," Lothor commented in amusement as he watched this.

 "How undisciplined," Zurgane muttered, shaking his head in disappointment, "You won't see any of your soldiers behaving as such, sir," He said, wondering how such obvious animosity in the ranks could be allowed to fester.

(Lothor's ship)

"Stupid plaidypus making me look bad, stupid Zurgane acting like he's so great," Muttered Choobo in his quarters, holding a dart before throwing it at a dartboard where a picture of Zurgane was taped. It was pockmarked with holes, having been used for the purpose of stress relief like this for years.

"But you just wait. I'm going to catch that pest, and prove it's a danger! Then Master Lothor will know who his real top minion is!" Choobo declared triumphantly, not noticing Perry peering at him from the open doorway to the room, before narrowing his eyes and slowly sliding out of sight. Then a few moments later...

"Choobo!" The lieutenant jerked as he heard Lothor's voice bellowing.

"Ah! Coming sir!" He called, running out of the doorway, only next thing he knew...

TWIP

"AHH! COME ON, NOT AGAIN!" He was hanging upside down with a rope tied around his ankles, missing the form of Perry disappearing around the corner with what looked like a recorder in his mouth.

 (Back in Alabasta)

"Very true," Lothor said to Zurgane's comment, watching Will and Flag continue to struggle, "In any case, let's wait to see who comes out on top, and then deal with the victor."

"Yes sir. But what should we do with them once we've done so?" Zurgane asked.

"Hmm," Lothor scratched his chin in thought, before shrugging, "Simply render them unconscious and leave them here. While it's tempting to capture them for interrogation, they seem unlikely to yield to it. Besides, since they seem to be from separate organizations, it should be interesting to see how their respective superiors react to this little disagreement."

"Ah, letting our enemies turn on each other. A sound strategy, sir," Zurgane said with a nod. It was always amusing to see two hostile forces wear each other down before they themselves moved in for the kill.

"Urg! Would you just get out of the way?! We're wasting valuable time with this nonsense!" Flagg barked.

"Stop trying to kill defenseless prisoners, and I will!" Will Du snapped, glaring.

"I'm warning you, Du," But froze as Flagg held his gun up, "If you don't step aside, I'll do what I have to in order to keep my country safe."

 "You're seriously willing to shoot an allied agent just so that you can kill prisoners?" Will asked incredulously, "Is this really about protecting the country, or do you just like killing people?"

"Don't look down your nose on me!" Flag snapped, "I'm the one willing to make the hard choices! To get blood on my hands so that civilians never have to know the horrors that we're keeping at bay!"

"At what cost?!" Will demanded, shaking his head, "That's the problem with you and Waller, you seem to believe the only way to protect the world is through bloodshed, blackmail, and lowering yourselves to the level of the worst criminals," He scowled, "The best way to deal with fire is through water, not to fight it with more fire!"

He said, with Flagg giving a glare.

"Said the fool whose agency props up a cheerleader while he waxes off philosophy," He said with disdain, before lashing out with a punch.

 WHAM

His fist slammed into Will's face, knocking him off his feet and sending him sprawling to the ground. Flagg sneered down at him, and turned back to the van, only for Will to suddenly sweep his legs out from under him with a kick, sending him to the ground as well.

 All of this seen by the prisoners from within the convoy.

"Ten bucks on the soldier," Goldenweek said bluntly, getting looks.

"You realize if he wins he'll take the chance to kill us... right?" Mr. 5 asked dryly with an arched brow.

"I like to live dangerously," Goldenweek replied in a deadpan, "Besides, he won't get the chance anyway," she added, shaking her head.

"She's right," Mr. 1 said with a scowl, "The fools are so distracted, they don't realize the noise of battle around them has stopped."

The agents' eyes widened in realizations.

"Which means..." Doublefinger trailed off with a slight smirk.

"Which means we're about to get our get out of jail free card, and you have me to thank for it," Mr. 2 said with a smug smirk.

"I wouldn't look so smug, considering your brilliant plan nearly had your brains blown all over the place," Miss Valentine said with a glare, "More importantly, our own brains," she added as Mr. 2 gave a wince.

"So the plan had a slight hole in it, things are still working out, just be patient," He retorted, slightly defensively.

"We haven't even agreed to sign up with this guy," Mr. 5 shot back.

"Well, it's either that or prison," Mr. 2 said right back, scowling, "And even if we escape, it's either go back to Intergang and deal with the mess that's about to start, with the risk of some people deciding it's too risky to keep around Crocodile's former top agents," He said, with the others giving a grimace, "Or finding someone else to sign up with, because like it or not darling, there's a reason we all joined Intergang rather than trying the solo route."

 That got disgruntled looks from the others, except for Goldenweek, who just nodded in acceptance.

"He's right. This is our best option," she stated.

"Doesn't mean we have to like it," Mr. 5 scoffed.

 Though as this conversation was happening, Will and Flagg continued to grapple on the ground, before freezing as a cough sounded out and a shadow went over them, causing them to look up toward the forms of Zurgane and Lothor.

"Sir, as amusing as this is, we're on a schedule, and the more time we waste, the more chance reinforcements could arrive to impede us," Zurgane said, looking over to Lothor before adding some cover for Alabasta, "This kingdom does seem to possess some superpowered agents after all, and we aren't that far from the capital."

 "Excellent point, General," Lothor said, playing along, before glancing at the two agents, "So, since you've obviously lost and are just embarrassing yourselves at this point, how about you just give up now and save us any further trouble?"

In response, Flagg shoved Will Du off of himself and snatched his gun up to aim at Lothor, who moved quicker to grab his wrist.

CRACK

"AGH!"

And promptly broke it, causing Flagg to scream in pain.

"Remember, I tried to be nice," Lothor said with a smirk.

"Fuck you, you alien son of a bitch!" Flagg growled, trying to punch with his good hand, only for Lothor to dodge it and then punch him in the face first. And then he punched him several more times in the same spot, before finally letting the soldier drop unconscious to the ground.

"What a waste," Lothor said, shaking his head before turning to Will, "You next? Or do you have some brains unlike your friend here?"

 Will scowled at him.

"What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?" He demanded, trying to stall and fish for information at the same time, "Surely by now you're studied Earth enough to realize we won't fall easily."

The agent said with a glare, "Nor will your rivals allow you to take what they see as their prize," He added with a slight forced smirk, "Or maybe that's why you're here... so scared of Skeleton King and his new twisted family you've realized your own men can't cut it against the competition."

Will mocked, while trying to move his hand carefully out of sight to the inside of his boot to remove a small cartridge that when activated would expel powerful knockout gas... if he timed this just right.

 "Oh, that's cute. You're trying to use grade school level psychological manipulation on my ego," Lothor rolled his eyes, "No wonder your organization needs to rely on a glorified cheerleader's help to get anything done."

Will's eye twitched at once again getting that amateur brought up, but refused to let it show that it was getting under his skin.

"And that sounds like deflection of my point," he spat, making Lothor scoff.

"Oh, what do you expect? Me to just give up and run away because Skeleton King has the upper hand right now?" he sneered, "No, I don't think so. If I'm going to lose, I'm going down fighting, and I'll take any advantage I can get to try and even the playing field. And yes, I think I know this world more than well enough to win. I am from here, after all."

"Wait, what?" Will asked, actually pausing in trying to grab the gas capsule as he froze in surprise at hearing that. Did he really just say he was originally from Earth?!

"Oops. Forget I said that," Lothor said facetiously. He'd said that intentionally, of course - let the fools chase their tails, trying to find some evidence of his origin in this reality. He'd get a few laughs at their expense that way~

 Will's mind, however, rocked with questions. If this was true, it raised so many questions about Lothor's origins and how he became a warlord in space if he was truly from Earth. But it could also be the lead they needed to learn more how he worked.

"Don't worry, you can tell me later!" Will quickly moved, throwing the capsule while jumping back, waiting for it to go off and knock Lothor and his goon out... only for Lothor to easily snatch it out of the air.

"Nice try," the ninja said, before tossing it back at Will, who was too caught off guard by the sudden turnaround to dodge in time.

POOF

Leaving the capsule to explode in his face, fully dousing him in the knockout gas.

"Ah, crap..." the agent moaned, before his eyes rolled up in his head and he collapsed to the ground.

"Well, that was fun," Lothor said, brushing his hands off, "Come, General, let's go retrieve our new soldiers."

 "Right behind you, sir," Zurgane said, following after his master, both of them casually dismissing the unconscious forms of Flagg and Will as they entered the convoy.

"Oh my knights in dark armor, I'm saved! I'm practically swooning," Mr. 2 exclaimed at the sight of them.

"Please don't," Zurgane said bluntly. He wasn't exactly interested in pursuing relationships as his master was of late, but even if he was, he had no interest in the male gender, and even then, he liked to think he would have higher standards, "Let's cut to the chase, we're giving you sorry lot your freedom and a chance to serve Master Lothor."

He intoned, with Goldenweek speaking up, "What's the pay, and do you have dental?"

 Even Zurgane seemed surprised by the sudden positive answer, but Lothor just laughed.

"We don't have much in the way of Earth money, I'm afraid, but we can always just rob a few banks and pay you a fair amount with that," he said, "And we have some of the best medical technology in the galaxy at our disposal, including dental care."

"Okay, I'm in," Goldenweek said, before frowning, "But I want my paints back. Making them from scratch is a pain."

"I gave them to my lover/partner to study, but you can have them back if you show her how to make them," Lothor offered, wondering how Tak would feel about having an assistant instead of getting to figure it out on her own.

 "Good," Goldenweek said, with Mr. 2 giving a grin.

"You already know my answer. Besides, this might be my chance to bring my glamor to the stars themselves," He said, taking as much of a pose as he could while restrained.

"Sigh... don't like it... but as long as we get our due, I guess I'm in," Mr. 5 said with a slight grimace.

"5!" Valentine exclaimed in shock.

"Like it or not, we don't have a lot of options right now, and at least signing up with him means a security net if he does conquer the planet," He pointed out to his partner, who scowled slightly at that point.

"Fine... but I expect to be paid, and I still want my cafe!" Valentine said angrily, "And don't be getting any ideas either!" she added, glaring at Lothor, "I'm no floozy like that that princess, I'll work for you but that doesn't mean I'll spread my legs."

 "As you wish," Lothor said... while making a mental note to seduce and break this smug bitch in, if only for the insult towards Vivi, which he took personally. That said, he turned towards Mr. 1, who was glaring at him, and Doublefinger, who was smirking at him.

"What about you?" he asked.

"I'm in. Like 5 said, there aren't many other options for us," Doublefinger replied, before her smirk turned sultry, "And unlike Valentine, I'm perfectly willing to take advantage of us not being enemies anymore, handsome~"

 After all, she wasn't sure how he looked under the mask, but he was strong and had a fun personality from what she could tell during their fighting/flirting from before. Besides, cementing closer ties with a employee never hurt a girl, and neither did a good time~

"Coughslutcough," Valentine couldn't resist saying with a cough, while Mr. 2 and Mr. 5 shot her looks as Goldenweek arched a brow, while Lothor smirked.

"Not interested," Mr. 1 stated quite bluntly, cutting into the moment.

 "1, don't be stupid," Doublefinger tried to say, only for Mr. 1 to cut her off.

"Shut it, Zala!" he snapped at her, catching her off guard by both the tone and the use of her true name, "My loyalty isn't for sale to just anyone, least of all the people who killed the employer I actually was loyal to!"

"I can respect that," Lothor said with a nod, before turning to Zurgane, "Cut him loose."

"Sir?" Zurgane asked in confusion, everyone else looking at Lothor in surprise.

"I'm not going to waste time trying to force the issue. And if he's free and off on his own, it makes for a nice decoy for everyone who will be looking for the others," Lothor explained, Mr. 1 glaring at him for the blunt admission.

 "I hope you realize you'll regret this," He stated as Zurgane approached, "Because next time we meet, I'll cut you down," He added, with Zurgane giving a low growl.

"You can try, but you will fail," He said, before cutting him loose from his bonds.

Thunk

The cuffs hit the floor.

"Because I will be ready to show you that my steel will always be sharper than your own," Zurgane added, his sword pressing against the glaring Mr. 1's neck, before he stepped back.

"We'll see about that," He stated, moving to stand up.

"Daz..." Though he paused at Doublefinger, or rather Zala's voice.

"It was nice working with you, Zala... but this is where we part ways if you intend to swear allegiance."

 Without another word, he then stomped off into the desert night, soon vanishing into the darkness as everyone watched him go.

"Oh my, that was just cold and heartless!" Mr. 2 declared dramatically, giving a dramatic sob that everyone rolled their eyes at.

"Shut up, Bentham," Zala said with a sigh, not in the mood for his melodrama as she dealt with the sudden loss of her long-term partner.

 "So, we're dropping the codenames then?" Mr. 2, or rather Bentham, noted with a pout at Zala's response, "A shame, they were fun... hmm, unless we go for new ones to fit the whole supervillain theme..."

He muttered thoughtfully as Zurgane cut him loose, "What you all think of Swan Diva?" He asked, only getting flat looks in response.

"I'd say that next to Condiment King, that's the dumbest name I'ver ever heard," Mr. 5 stated quite bluntly.

 "Oh, like you're one to talk about dumb names, Gem," Bentham scoffed, making Mr. 5, or rather Gem, glare at him.

"You can use whatever names or codenames that you want, I don't care," Lothor cut into the argument before it could start, not in the mood for it.

"Then call me Mikita, and let's get out of here," Valentine, or rather Mikita added, speaking up as Zurgane finished freeing them, "I rather not push my luck and get arrested by Superman or something."

"The League isn't allowed in Alabasta," Goldenweek pointed out.

"I'd rather not find out if the royals changed their mind on that due to Mr. Giant Monster here, Marianne," Mikita grumbled back as they all exited the convoy.

"Right..." Gem gave a sigh, looking toward Lothor, "Since we're all in, what now boss?" He asked with a frown.

"Hopefully it involves us becoming bettered acquainted," Zala added with a slight sultry smirk... though Lothor could tell it was more forced, with her mood taking a hit from her partner's departure.

And what kind of gentleman would he be if he let that stand?

"Well, I wouldn't mind that, my dear~" Lothor said with a smirk of his own, "Zurgane, take the others back to the ship while I... get to know our new friend here. Get them settled in, and introduce Marianne to Tak for the paint experiments."

While the others arched eyebrows at this, Zurgane just nodded.

"Yes sir... should I tell Tak how you're preoccupied?" he asked, not looking forward to the Irken's reaction to learning that Lothor had taken yet another lover.

"No point in lying to her about it. I'll handle her feelings on the matter later," Lothor waved off his General's concerns.

 "Understood. Everyone else huddle close," Zurgane instructed, with the former Intergang members moving to do so, though Mikita gave Zala an incredulous look before shaking her head, muttering under her breath about women with more hormones than sense.

"This is one small step for man, one giant leap for Bentham!" Bentham declared, doing a spin, rather eager for the idea of going on a spaceship just they all teleported away, leaving Lothor and Zala alone in the desert.

"Hmm, so, I'm guessing that the princess isn't enough for a man like you?" Zala asked with a smirk.

"I'm a man with a big appetite," Lothor said with a shrug, "But in all seriousness, may I ask how you are? You seem to have taken your partner's departure quite seriously."

Zala blinked at the legitimate concerned question, before giving a sigh, sagging slightly.

"Can't say I'm surprised by Daz's choice, but I'm still disappointed," she remarked, crossing her arms, "While it's better not to get close to anyone in this business, sometimes you can't help but forge a bond with those you work and fight back to back with."

She admitted, frowning, "Daz is a friend if not brother to me... so us going our separate ways hurts, but I'll respect his choice."

"So sorry for that, dear... but I hope that I can help you feel better~" Lothor said, taking her hand and kissing it.

"Well, you're certainly off to a good start~" she replied with a smirk, "So, where should we... get to know each other?"

"Hmm," Lothor hummed, looking around at their surroundings, just wrecked vehicles, unconscious soldiers, and nothing else but the sand and sky, "Want to just do it out here in the open?"

 "Oh~ Aren't you a naughty boy?" Zala said with a giggle, leaning forward to press her breasts against his chest as she cupped his masked cheek, "I like that~" she added with a smirk, before pulling him into a hot kiss. Which Lothor was glad to return, holding her close and reaching down to grab her large ass. Oh yes, that was just as nice as it looked~

Hmm, he had a feeling he was going to enjoy this one, he thought as the kiss eventually broke.

"Strip and then get on all fours," Lothor ordered with a husky growl, "I want to fuck you like the bitch you are~"

 "Oooh, of course, master~ You beat me down other day, so now it's only fair you fuck me down and claim dominance over this bitch~" Zala said with a slight eager moan as she started to strip, letting her Double Ds bounce free under his leering gaze, and after kicking off her shoes and dropping her pants and panties, dropped to all fours, wagging her ass, "Though I should warn you, I'm a lot more prickly than that princess~"

She added with a taunting smirk over her shoulder as spikes popped out all around her body for a moment before retracting.

"Well, congratulations, I think that makes this the kinkiest sex I've ever had!" Lothor laughed as he fished his cock out, letting it flop out for Zala to see.

"Oh my. You definitely have a reason to be so cocky, don't you?" Zala said, smirking and licking her lips as she took in the sight of his package.

"Yes I do," Lothor said, before smacking her ass.

SMACK

"AH!" she cried out in surprise and delight.

"Now, beg to have it inside you," Lothor ordered.

 "Urg! Come on, don't tease a..." Zala's whining moan was cut off by Lothor hitting her ass again.

"AH! Alright! Please screw this criminal bitch!" Zala moaned, shaking her ass, feeling her cheeks warm up, kinda liking how he was taking control, "I've been such a bad girl, bringing war to an entire country, I deserve to be punished and disciplined by your thick hard cock! Mmm, fuck me so hard the entire desert hears me scream your name, please!"

 "With pleasure!" Lothor yelled, before plunging into her without another word.

"FUCK!" Zala yelled, caught off guard but immediately beginning to thrust her hips back to match Lothor's own thrusts. God, he was so big, so thick... so GOOD!

 "Urg, yes, hit me! Fuck me up so good, you bastard!"

"I intend to!" Lothor yelled, giving her ass another hit while he kept pounding her.

SMACK

"I'm going to break you in!"

SMACK

"You'll be loyal to me, and my cock, forever!"

SMACK

"Urg, fuck!" Zala moaned, loving each hit as she moaned, "Ah, ah, keep fucking me like this and, ahhh, I might just!" She groaned, bucking her hips against his thrusts, "I might, ahhh, decide to, ah, ah, ah, steal you away from the princess even!'

"Ah, ah, well then, ah, ah, you should know that she's hardly my only lover!" Lothor declared, "And at least one, ah, ah, ah, is a very possessive bitch!"

"Ah, ah, bring it on!" Zala yelled with a grin, "I can handle, ah, ah, any bitch!"

"Hmm, ah, ah, I look forward to it!" Lothor replied with a smirk.

"Ah, ah, ah, I mean it, ahh, I'm quite the bondage mistress! Fuck! Ahh, I'll have them kissing my boots and eating out my cunt!" Zala moaned, before screaming, "Ass! Do my ass!'

"Gladly!" Lothor shouted, not missing a beat as he pulled his cock out of her pussy and readjusted to slam it into her asshole instead.

"Ahhh, fuck yeah!" Zala said, moaning in delight, "Your other bitches love ass-play like this?!"

"Actually, yeah, some of them do," Lothor replied with a smirk, "So, you're gonna have to try harder to one-up them!"

"Urg, well I bet, ah, ah, they don't take or love pain as much as me!" Zala seemed to take that as a challenge as she twisted to the side, slightly keeping her balance with one hand while the other reach down to finger her pussy as Lothor fucked her ass, "Shit, mmm, ah, ah, whip me, hit me, pour hot wax over me, I can, ah, ah, take it all!"

"Ooh, kinky!" Lothor laughed, "Well, we're definitely, ah, ah, going to test all that out in time! For now, ah, ah, ah, let's just do this the old fashioned way!"

"Ah yes! Fuck me! Fuck me! FUCK ME!" Was what Zala chanted, more than eager to be fucked here surrounded by destruction and defeated enemies. It sent such an erotic thrill through her body.

It was wonderful! Even better than what she'd dreamed of what would happen when they fulfilled Crocodile's plan! Fuck, this was the start of something incredible, she just knew it!

And as they fucked on the sand, they didn't realize a figure was watching everything.

 "Well, this certainly wasn't what I was expecting," mused the girl lying prone on a sand dune and observing events through a pair of binoculars. She was a beautiful young woman with a slender body, tanned skin, blue eyes and long dark brown hair. She was wearing a white shirt with patches over the sleeves, a green vest, and white harem pants with a purple sash

 Then again, who would expect to see a prisoner transport turn into sexual debauchery?

 She'd been sent here to make sure that the Intergang agents were successfully removed from Alabasta and were no longer their problem. She hadn't expected to see much of it, given the level of security present.

Instead, the forces of that space ninja who had helped the princess defeat Crocodile (and was probably banging her now) had shown up and freed the Intergang members, recruiting them to his cause... and now he was fucking one of them right in the open in the middle of the desert.

"Seriously, doesn't this guy have any class or standards?" The girl muttered in slight disgust, before scoffing, "Still, looks like I'll need to report about Lothor taking Crocodile's goons," She muttered, giving one more glance at the depravity.

A part of her was tempted to take the chance to attack Lothor while he was distracted, to prove herself by taking out someone who's likely to be a problem down the road... but she had her orders, and attacking him could put too much at risk.

"Enjoy yourself while it lasts. You'll learn the power that truly rules the desert sands soon enough," The girl muttered as the sand beneath her seemed to ripple before she sunk into and underneath it, disappearing.

 And with her gone, Lothor and his newest lover were able to continue fucking in the desert without any witnesses.

 "AHHHH! LOTHOR!" With Zala's orgasmic cry of pleasure echoing across the sands.

 "URGH! ZALA!" Lothor yelled back as he unleashed his load into her. After a few moments, he finished and pulled out of her, letting her slump to the sand.

"Enjoy that?" he asked, watching her pant on the ground.

 "Ah, ah, ah, well... you're not bad," Zala admitted, catching her breath as she shot him a smirk over her shoulder, "But still... I've had better~" she said teasingly, while laying down the challenge.

"Oh, is that right?" Lothor asked with a smirk, "Well, let's try something else~"

Reaching down, he flipped her over to put her on her back. Then, he grabbed her legs and bent them up into a mating press, leaving her ankles by her ears.

"This time, I'm filling you up with my seed!" he declared before plunging into her cunt again.

"Ohh Fuck! Fill me up! Ah, ah, ah, ah, just remember to take responsibility, ah, ah, ah, ah, fuck!" Zala moaned, obviously quite enjoying herself and then some to say the least.

"Don't worry, ah, ah, I will," Lothor said as he pounded away, "You and, ah, ah, every other whore I, ah, ah, impregnate! I need to, ah, ah, catch up to Skeleton King!"

"Ah, ah, others?" Zala asked, pouting at that, "Ah, ah, other than the royal brat, ah, ah, how many are there?"

"Plenty, and I'll, ah, ah, take more!" Lothor exclaimed, "Because I, ah, ah, take whatever I want!"

"Ah, ah, ah, well that makes you, ah, ah, my kind of man then~" She moaned, managing to reach up and pull him down by his shoulders into a hungry kiss of desire. Which he eagerly returned, glad to have another addition to his harem, whom he continued to fuck in the sand for quite some time.

(Lothor's ship)

"Let me get this straight," Tak said, grinding her teeth in annoyance as she looked up at Zurgane, "In the middle of recruiting new troops, Lothor decided to also take the time to start fucking one of them?!"

"Pretty much," Zurgane replied casually as he stood across from her in the room she'd been using as a lab, Marianne standing nearby and watching the exchange apathetically, "And while he's busy with that and the other new agents are settling in, you're to work with Marianne here regarding replicating her mood-altering paints."

"I don't need help to do that," Tak spat, glancing at a table containing samples of the paint that she'd been examining.

"Do you want to waste time trying to figure it out, or just let me show you?" Marianne asked. Tak shot the girl a scowl, but soon grimaced as she took a deep breath.

"Fine! If only because there are other projects that require my attention," She said, looking across the room to a small cell that had been set up in the lab, where a figure was in the midst of playing the harmonica, "And would you stop playing that infernal instrument already?!"

Tak snapped with a glare towards Fiddleford McGucket, who was locked in the cell.

"But it's tradition, can't be a prisoner without some good ol' harmonica playing," McGucket countered with a cackle.

"Then just cooperate and share what you know, and we can stop keeping you in the cell!" Tak snapped, perfectly willing to let him out if it meant shutting him up.

"Little lady, if'n I tried you tell you everything I know, we'd be here all month," McGucket replied with a shrug, "And that ain't bragging, it's just that my brains are still so messed up that sometimes I go on tangents without meaning too. Like'n that time when I tried to tell the mayor my new plans for a solar power plant but ended figuring out a way to upgrade the sewer system mid-conversation. Or that time that I tried to upgrade the library's computer system and somehow ended up unionizing the gnomes. Or the time..."

"Shut up!" Tak snapped, eye twitching in annoyance.

"Sorry. But ya see what I mean?" McGucket said, rubbing his head.

"Yes, and I can't believe I'm picking the brain of someone dumb enough to wipe their memories repeatedly until the point they became a deranged annoying lunatic," Tak growled in annoyance. Honestly this human was almost as bad as Zim... almost.

"Fortunately..." She gave a sigh before smirking, "We might have a way to keep you more focused now," She remarked to the human that had been retrieved from Gravity Falls sometime ago, with Lothor desiring the knowledge in this lunatic's thick skull. Unfortunately, interrogation attempts had been... less than productive.

(Flashback)

"Alright Mimi, has our prisoner shared... anything?" Tak started to ask as she entered the room, only to trail off and gain a flat look when she saw Mimi was holding a banjo, with Choobo blowing into a jug, and McGucket using a washboard of all things as an instrument.

 "What?" she asked flatly, unable to form any other coherent words.

"I've done introduced your friends to hillbilly country music!" McGucket declared happily.

"And you two are going along with this... why exactly?" Tak asked the others tersely.

"It's surprisingly fun!" Choobo commented, while Mimi just shrugged, before proceeding to play the banjo, which acted as the signal for the others to start playing, causing Tak to facepalm as they played.

"Note to self, examine Mimi for lingering malfunction and discuss discipline among our forces with Lothor," The Irken muttered as she dragged her hand down her face with an annoyed scowl, while the sound of bluegrass music filled the air.

(End flashback)

"Alright..." Tak focused on the new recruit, "How exactly does your hypnotic formula work, and how can we use it to make our prisoner more cooperative?" She questioned Marianne, scowling.

 "It's not that complicated," Marianne replied, unaffected by Tak's glare, "The paint has been infused with certain kinds of drugs that are absorbed on skin contact, even through clothes. Once they're in the target's system, they put them in a suggestive state that allows me to push them towards certain actions, which additional specific drugs in each color chemically reinforce in their brain."

 "I see, and which color has what effect?" Tak questioned, frowning.

 "Black causes the subject to betray those close to them, yellow causes uncontrollable joy and laughter, red causes blind rage, blue causes depressive sadness, green brings about total calmness," Marianne ticked off on her fingers, "I've also experimented with mixing colors, but so far all I have that works is a yellow-green mix that makes the target believe they're my close friend and want to help me with anything."

"Hmm, useful, but with a lot of room to improve," Tak mused, tapping her chin in thought at potential new combos to create, before a smirk formed on her lips as she glanced at McGucket, "But this yellow-green friendship combo... would it make this hick want to divulge his secrets to me?"

McGucket froze at that, while Marianne shrugged, "If you say that's what you want him to do as a friend, then he will."

 "Excellent," Tak said with a dark smirk, "It seems you'll be earning your keep around here sooner than expected," She said as McGucket's grin became more strained and nervous.

"Um, don't suppose you accept jigs and stories about the old days as payment?" he asked nervously.

 "No, I won't," Tak said flatly, before turning to Marianne, "Go ahead and mix up a batch of that friendship color so that we can get him talking."

"Okay," Marianne said with a shrug, turning towards the table and going to work on mixing her paints.

"I'll leave you to it," Zurgane said, turning to leave, only for Tak to speak up and stop him.

"On the way out, have some Kelzaks go grab my and Lothor's pet and bring her here," she ordered with a smirk, "I wouldn't mind have another test subject."

"And you want to vent your rage over the master taking more lovers by taking it out another one of them?" Zurgane asked with a snort.

"...Just do it," Tak snapped.

 Silence stood for a moment, before Zurgane nodded.

"Very well, but know this," He pointed at Tak, "You might share Master Lothor's bed, but you don't outrank me," He said with a hint of steel as Tak's eyes narrowed, "I am Master Lothor's General and right hand, you being a consort does not give you as much authority as you believe."

He remarked as he made his leave, Tak glaring at his back.

"Trouble in the ranks?" Questioned Marianne.

"Just mix those paints!" Tak snapped.

 Marianne shrugged and went back to work. For a few minutes there was silence, until a voice familiar to Tak and McGucket could be heard approaching from the hallway.

"Let me go, you creeps, I can walk on my own!" Wendy protested as a group of Kelzaks marched her into the room and tossed her to the floor in front of Tak with a grunt.

"Having a nice day, puppy?" Tak asked with a smirk down at her.

"Fuck you," Wendy spat as she got up and brushed herself off, before arching a brow at Marianne, "Why is there a kid here?"

"I'm 16," Marianne replied with an exasperated sigh, not even turning around to look at her.

 "Ah... sorry," Wendy said with a slight awkward pause and cough before focusing on Tak, "But seriously why am I here?!" She demanded, before realizing the 4th figure in the room, "And what are you doing with McGucket?!" She asked, not even aware he'd been taken aboard the ship.

"He, like you, will be assisting me in a little experiment," Tak replied smugly, "We're just going to see how willing we can make him in being compliant about sharing his secrets with us."

"What, you're going to torture him?" Wendy demanded angrily, fully willing to fight this bitch to defend the old hillbilly from her.

"That won't be necessary," Marianne said, holding up a paintbrush and a pallet with a fresh mixture of yellow and green paint on it. Walking over to McGucket's cage, she lashed out with the brush faster than McGucket could react, smearing the paint onto the old man's forehead in a symbol, "Yellow-Green mark of Friendship. And we are your friends, aren't we?"

McGucket's eyes dilated as the paint's effects kicked in, and then he grinned widely.

"Sure as shootin', little lady! Y'all are my friends, and I'm happy ta tell ya whatever you want to know!" he said happily, making Wendy's eyes widen in horror at this.

"Excellent, we can start with your mechanical knowledge, any secrets of Gravity Falls our forces have yet to uncover, and everything you know about the Pines family that was instrumental in the defeat of the extra-dimensional entity known as Bill Cipher," Tak said with a smug purr, before looking thoughtful as she remembered something, "Oh, and anything about that ship buried underneath the town. I haven't had enough time to study that as much as I would wish."

"Sure thing! I'll even put it down in notes to make it easier for ya!" McGucket replied cheerfully, taking a notepad and pen out of nowhere, and started writing rapidly on it.

"Dude, what are you doing?!" Wendy yelled in disbelief, "You can't tell them anything that actually helps them!"

"Sure I can! They're my friends!" McGucket replied with a creepily wide smile, not pausing in his writing.

 "That's right... we're all friends here," Tak said, giving Wendy a smirk, her eyes gleaming in a way she didn't like, "New girl..." Tak addressed Marianne, not looking away from Wendy.

"I'm Marianne," was the deadpan reply of the former Intergang member.

"Don't care," Tak said with a hand wave, "Do you know a way to make the affect of the chemical to induce not just artificial feelings of camaraderie, but of love and desire?"

Those words caused Wendy to pale, while Marianne just cocked an eyebrow before shrugging.

"I suppose it would be easy enough to modify the friendship chemicals into something more like an aphrodisiac," she replied casually.

"Don't you fucking dare!" Wendy snarled, glaring at both of them, "Making me your slave-pet was bad enough, but I'm not letting you brainwash me into being in love with you and that masked bastard!"

"If it makes you feel any better, it would only work as long as the paint's on you, so it would eventually fade once you sweat enough," Marianne commented.

"Sounds like enough time to make you cum at least once while screaming your love for me and Lothor~" Tak cackled.

 "Oh, fuck you!" Wendy snarled, as Tak gave her a smug smirk.

"Oh, soon enough, pet~" she said with a laugh, before looking over to Marianne, "Do it... I want her swooning over me to point she kisses my boots."

 "Okay," Marianne replied, her dulled emotions meaning that she saw nothing wrong with this as she turned back to the table to start mixing paints again.

"Oh no you don't!" Wendy yelled, charging towards the shorter girl to try and stop her, only for Tak to jump up and kick her in the stomach, "URK!"

"Now, now, let's not go and spoil the fun," Tak said, grabbing Wendy by the hair as she doubled over from the blow, before twisting and throwing her against a wall.

"AGH!" Wendy cried in pain, slumping to the floor and groaning as Tak advanced on her.

"Hmm, I think we've been going to easy on you lately," Tak sneered, "You seem to have forgotten who you belong to."

"Go to Hell!" Wendy spat, trying to get back to her feet. Only to find Tak's PAK legs suddenly pressing her down, with the Irken herself on top of her.

"Your continued resistance is amusing, and speaks well of your worth when you finally break," Tak said, but gave a chilling grin, "But you still need to learn that just because we haven't fucked you yet doesn't mean your body doesn't already belong to me and Lothor."

She sneered down at the girl, "You're our property, and nothing you do will change that."

 "You can do whatever you want to me," Wendy growled, glaring up at the Irken, "But no matter what you make me say just to make you stop, it'll never be true. I'll never give in to either of you!"

"So you say," Tak scoffed, "But believe me, when the day comes that you eventually break and beg for Lothor's cock, you'll realize that there's no better purpose for a whore like you than to serve him, and by extension me~"

Wendy shot her an angry glare, though beneath the rage there was a trace of fear at that scenario happening to her. Tambry already seemed to be developing some kinda Stockholm syndrome with that monkey, and the guys were way too comfy with the creep's nieces for her comfort. And she wasn't clueless to what she was dealing with here. What if she broke... or what if they found a way to brainwash her into their personal bimbo slut?

Dipper... Mabel... please, if I ever needed you guys to come through it's now, Wendy thought, not for the first time wishing the twins would swoop in to save the day.

"It's ready," Marianne called, causing Wendy to stiffen.

"Excellent, bring it here," Tak replied.

Wendy looked over in fear to Marianne as she walked over, holding a pallet of fresh paint, which Tak arched an antenna at the color of.

"Pink? Really?" she asked flatly.

"Seemed appropriate," Marianne said with a shrug as she started to twirl her brush in the paint.

"Wait, please!" Wendy begged, eyes wide in panic as she pleaded, "I'm begging you, you don't have to do this!"

"I know, but I also don't have a reason not to," Marianne stated flatly, before lashing out with the brush and painting a pink heart shape onto Wendy's brow, "Enjoy being the first person to experience what I'm calling Lovers Pink."

With that, Marianne stepped back to get out of Wendy's line of sight, so that she'd only be seeing Tak when the paint's effects kicked in, which they started to do almost immediately. Wendy looked up at Tak as the Irken smugly held her down, and tried to hold onto her hatred for the bug bitch... but instead, a pink haze filled her vision like an anime character seeing their crush, her heart beginning to beat faster, her face flushing as a heat washed over her.

 "God... you're really from the stars, because you're beautiful," She murmured as Tak smirked.

 "That's more like it," Tak purred, reaching down to stroke Wendy's face, making the lumberjack girl blush deeper, "You don't want to resist your mistress anymore, do you?"

"N-no, mistress, of course not!" Wendy stammered, feeling her heart pounding in her chest, unable to look away from the gorgeous alien in front of her, all thoughts of refusal forced out of her head by the hormones now flooding her brain.

God, why had she ever resisted this? This was a beautiful woman who wanted her, and she'd been saying no, for what? A crush on some boy who already had a girlfriend and had moved on from her? Was she going to refuse a chance at love because she was being stubborn about moving on as well?

The Hell with that! She wasn't going to deny herself pleasure any longer!

"I won't resist you, mistress! Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!" she yelled, making Tak cackle.

"Glad to hear it~" Tak sneered, pulling back her PAK legs and stepping back so that Wendy could stand up, "Then for starters, strip so that I can see all of that lovely body! And make a show out of it~"

"Yes mistress! I'll even give you a sexy lap dance! My body is yours to enjoy!" Wendy said eagerly with a wide grin and look of adoration, no sign at all anywhere in her expression of the girl who just moments ago had been swearing her eternal defiance, which just made Tak laugh.

"Want me to give you some privacy?" Marianne asked, not caring either way, while McGucket kept writing in his cage, oblivious to what was happening around him.

"No, make more of this so we can use it in the future," Tak said, before turning to the nearby Mimi and ordering, "Mimi, record this so that we have something to show Lothor later... and something to humiliate this bitch with once her head clears."

Mimi nodded and popped a camera out of her head, beginning to record Wendy as she started swaying her hips to a tune in her head.

 "Does this please you, my mistress?" Wendy asked as she placed her hands behind her body while she swayed her hips, "Or would you prefer more of this?" She asked with a smirk as she turned around and stuck out her ass, twerking it, "Lots of guys always seem to like my fat ass~"

 "Mmm, yes, I do like it~" Tak replied, before lashing out with a hand and hitting Wendy's ass.

SMACK

"AH!" Wendy cried out with a moan in response.

"How about you, slut? You like having someone smack your ass and treat you like the whore that you are?" Tak sneered.

"Ah, ah, yes mistress! I love it!" Wendy moaned, any self-respect right out the window by this point.

"Good," Tak said, before hitting Wendy's ass again.

SMACK

"AH!"

"Now, stop teasing! I told you to strip, not just dance!" Tak snapped.

"Ah, yes, sorry mistress!" Wendy blurted out, her heart racing. None of her past relationships ever commanded her like this, Robbie sure as hell hadn't, and Dipper, even if they never dated, was always such a simp, but Tak... God, had it always felt so good to be controlled? To be utterly powerless, and to have someone else tell her everything to do... fuck, it was so intoxicating!

With that thought in mind, Wendy tossed off her hat and kicked off her boots, socks quickly following. She then turned around to face her mistress, and reached up to start unbuttoning her flannel shirt, tearing it off and tossing it aside as soon as she could, revealing the white undershirt beneath it that quickly followed the flannel in being tossed aside. Then she dropped her pants to her ankles and kicked it aside, leaving her in just her panties and bra.

"Does this please you, mistress?" Wendy asked, desperate to make Tak happy.

"It'll please me more once you lose the rest," Tak grunted, gesturing to Wendy's underwear, "Then perhaps I'll let you have the honor of kissing my feet like the pathetic bitch you are," She added with a sneer while Wendy flushed and breathed heavily.

"Ahh, yes ma'am, forgive me," She said, finding each insult and demeaning comment just making her hotter and wetter.

Reaching up, she unhooked her bra and let it fall away, allowing her C cup breasts to bounce free without any hesitation. And finally, her panties slid down to the floor and were kicked away to join the rest of her clothes, exposing a pussy that was leaking wet.

"Is this good, mistress?" she asked, breathing heavily and face burning in anticipation.

"Very good, pet~" Tak purred, before putting her foot forward, "Now, get down on your knees and lick my boots, while fingering yourself like the whore you are, and apologizing for all the defiance you've shown to your betters."

 "Yes mistress!" Wendy immediately obeyed with a smile, her pussy already burning as she fell to her knees, bending down to lick at Tak's boots with one hand quickly going to her pussy to finger it, "Ah, ah, ah, please forgive this stupid bitch for being so stubborn! Ah, ah, I should have been begging you to take me and fuck me like a slut the moment I saw your beautiful face! I don't know why I was simping after a loser dork like Dipper when I could be the lover of a glorious sexy alien conqueror like you~"

She moaned between licks, "Tell me what I need to do to make up for denying you! My body is yours to debase, any secret you desire that I know is yours, just love me like I love you!" She looked up at Tak with worship, with the Irken finding herself smirking, and despite herself having a small flush at the words and submission; it was quite a turn on in more ways than one, and in a different way than the pig slut Membrane as well. Though she also gave a slight frown as Wendy's next words revealed a slight flaw with the Lover Pink.

"Forget Lothor, he doesn't appreciate you! I'll make you my one and only focus, rather than that perv who can't keep it in his pants!"

That being, since Lothor wasn't here, Wendy's current hypnotic feelings were focused solely on Tak in her desire for the Irken's attention. Hmm, that could be a problem down the road, since she and Lothor were meant to equals.

"I don't suppose you can fix that part?" Tak called out to Marianne, who was mixing more paint.

"I could apply a fresh dose on her to reset the hypnotism, but Lothor would have to be present so that she sees and falls in love with both of you," the painter commented, not caring at all what was happening in the room with her.

"You don't need him, mistress!" Wendy called out, only to yelp as Tak kicked her in the face and knock her back.

"Don't presume to know what I do or don't need, you brainless slut!" Tak snapped at her. Honestly, it seemed even brainwashed to love her, this stupid bitch didn't know her place, she couldn't help but think as Wendy actually threw her a look of pain at her words.

"I'm sorry, mistress," she cried out in pain and a slight sob, "I spoke out of turn... I just want you to be happy... I want to give you the love and attention you deserve... you're my one and only... just let me prove that I'm worthy of your love."

She said desperately, crawling to kiss and lick at Tak's boot, "I could make you happier than that creep... you could overthrow him... take over the planet yourself... I'd be your eager slave the entire way, my queen!"

 "And that just shows what a stupid whore you are," Tak sneered down at her, "Lothor is my one true partner, while you're just a set of holes we'll fuck for fun until we get bored with you and toss you aside!"

"What?! No!" Wendy yelled in pure panic, "Please mistress, don't throw me away! I can't live without you! I'll do whatever you want, even fuck Lothor with you, even if I don't want to! Please, keep me! And I can be useful! I know secrets you don't know yet! My friend Mabel, she's a superhero, the good Star Sapphire!"

This comment certainly caused Tak to stiffen, recognizing the name of that unhinged legion of Emotional Spectrum energy wavelength users quite well. Say what you will about the Green Lantern Corps' annoying tendencies to stick their rings where they weren't wanted, at least their members were sane, something other wielders of the Emotional Spectrum didn't have a habit of being. And there was one here?

Wait, hang on, something nagged at her about that.

"The good one?" Tak repeated.

"Yeah, there's also a supervillain one out there, but Mabel is part of the Justice League," Wendy said quickly, not caring that she was selling out her friend. That didn't matter, only pleasing her mistress did!

 "I... for the love of Irk," Tak found herself facepalming, "How the hell did I miss that?!" she snarled with an eye twitch. She'd done research on the Justice League, did what she could to learn what happened to this planet since last time she was here, but it seemed like there was still information that she was overlooking!

It was bad enough that last time her focus on claiming her rightful due Invader position had caused her to land in that apparent conspiracy web that had ensnared Zim, those so-called Swollen Eyeballs as she learned had block any information of the Kryptonian and other superpowered or alien elements from reaching inside that city for some stupid reason.

But how was it she was allowing herself to miss critical information like this?! A Star Sapphire, two of them, on this planet, and from the way this slut spoke it was common information! What else had she been overlooking?!

She lashed out, grabbing and pulling Wendy up to her face by her hair, while Marianne arched a brow as McGucket continued to write down information.

"What else do you know?! Has your friend and this other Sapphire come into conflict? And what about their corps?!"

 "What corps?" Wendy asked in confusion, even as she gave off a moan, finding something very hot in her mistress manhandling her like this. Ooh, she hoped Tak really beat her ass before fucking her!

"Ugh, so you people know just enough to make your ignorance worse," Tak spat, dropping Wendy back to the floor with a thud, "At least answer my other question. What is the relationship between your friend and the other Sapphire?"

"Mabel doesn't like her," Wendy answered, "She says that she's a disgrace to the whole concept of love."

"Hmph, that's something at least," Tak muttered. Still, she'd have to talk with Lothor about this. After all, this meant that this bitch had just become greater leverage, if she was truly friends with a Star Sapphire, one who was a member of the so-called Justice League. However...

"Does anyone else know about her identity?" Tak demanded, glaring into Wendy's eyes.

"Urg, her family knows, or at least her brother Dipper and their great-uncles, but not her parents, since she's had some issues with them after they went through a divorce, mistress," Wendy reported, breathing heavier as she looked into her mistress' beautiful purple eyes, "Urg and my friend Tambry knows, and also as much as I hate the bitch, Mabel considers that spoiled brat Pacifica Luthor her best friend and told her."

Wendy added, though the last bit was barely noted by Tak, who let out a swear at the first name.

"Damn it! The monkey's little bitch, and considering how welcoming she is to her new position, she's probably already informed Skeleton King," Tak said with a low growl of annoyance, hating that their rival in conquest seemed to be one step ahead. She'd already learned of his new superpowered assets, and was planning to have a serious discussion with Lothor in what they'd be doing about his fellow conqueror and his so-called children when he got back anyway. Now there was a chance he could act on this information on the Star Sapphire somehow as well.

"Grr, anything else?!" Tak snapped, glaring into Wendy's eyes, "If you know anything... anything at all that I can use, I'll allow you the honor of worshiping my cunt before I defile your ass."

 Wendy flushed brightly at that, the idea of doing all of that being all that her altered mind could focus on. As such, she latched onto anything that could ensure that, and found herself doing something that she'd never consider doing under normal circumstances - revealing a secret that her family had kept her whole life.

"My mother's a supervillain!" she exclaimed, making Tak blink.

"Excuse me?" she asked.

"She's called Bertha the Barbarian," Wendy explained, "She's not a big deal, but she's been known to run all over the world picking fights with other superpowered people. She had an affair with my dad when they met in a bar, and then dumped me on his porch when I was born. No one outside the family knows this, not even my best friends!"

And wasn't that the truth; she hadn't told anyone outside of her family, not Tambry, not Soos, not even the Pine twins, no one! It was her darkest secret, something she always kept to herself. She knew her friends would accept her... but some part of her was afraid of what they would think if they knew.

Tak herself actually froze in surprise, not having expected this, that's for certain.

"Huh... never took Bertha as the type to have kids," Marianne stated with an arched brow.

"You know this Bertha?" Tak remarked, looking toward Marianne.

"We've crossed paths," She admitted with a slight sour expression, "Intergang attempted to recruit her... the agents in charge weren't taking no for an answer, so lost their heads as a result."

She intoned bluntly as Tak's eyes narrowed at this information.

"How close are you to this Bertha? What is she likely to do if she learns you're our captive?" The Irken questioned Wendy.

 "We're not close," Wendy said with a scowl, "She says that she doesn't want to get dragged down by having a brat around. If I'm lucky, she shows up for my birthday, and that's it. If anything, if she finds out that you captured me, she'll probably just say I was too weak for letting it happen."

"Well, you are a pathetic weakling, aren't you, slut?" Tak sneered, though she was too distracted thinking about all of what she'd learned.

 "I'm not!" Some flare of Wendy's old anger formed, "I might not have powers, but I'm not weak!" she snapped, flushing, her expression flashing with her hurt if not insecurity... hmm, seems she's revealed quite the sensitive subject here, "Give me a chance, training, anything, and I'll show my mother how strong I can be, while I vanquish enemies in your name, mistress."

 Hmm, that was interesting. Maybe even something that they could use to manipulate her without the hypnotism.

"Fine, I'll consider that," Tak said, "But in the meantime, good news, slut. You've earned the right to give me pleasure, and if you're good enough at it, I'll give you some in return."

As she said this, her clothes dissolved into her PAK, leaving her as naked as her pet-slave, who looked up at her with wide eyes and a massive blush as she took in her mistress' bare form, the flawless green skin looking absolutely perfect to her.

"Now, get licking, whore," Tak commanded, pointing to her cunt.

 "Oh, thank you, mistress! I'll show you how much of a better lover I can be to Lothor!" Wendy said eagerly as she dove into the snatch in front of her.

"Umm... should I take the old man and leave?" Marianne asked with an arched brow. Even in her chemically-induced emotionless state, this sight was causing some very conflicting sensations in her, and she wasn't sure how to cope with it.

"Mmm, did you leave enough of the pink for me to use again on her later if needed?" Tak asked, humming slightly as Wendy worked her tongue into her folds. Obviously not as good as Lothor's work, no matter what the stupid bitch thought, but still pretty good~

"Yeah, I think you're good to go on that," Marianne replied, looking to the pile of cups containing pink paint.

 "Then you may go, and escort the man to the cells," Tak said, waving her off with a groaning moan.

"Um, and where are those supposed to be?" Marianne asked bluntly, reminding the Irken she was new.

"Urg, just go and see if you can find a Kelzak or someone for directions," Tak snarled, shoving Wendy deeper into her snatch.

 "Fine," Marianne replied, a slight amount of annoyance slipping into her voice despite her lack of emotions. Walking over to the cage, she opened it and pulled McGucket out, "Let's go, you can keep writing on the way."

"No problem, little lady!" McGucket replied, following Marianne out of the room and leaving Tak to get eaten out by Wendy, who found herself loving the taste of her mistress's cunt.

God, why had she resisted this for so long? It was delicious!

 "Mmm, mistress, I love you... you're so beautiful... and your juices, urg, so fucking delicious!" Wendy moaned.

 "Of course they are. They're far superior to anything a worthless human bitch like you could ever have tasted before," Tak said with a smirk, loving how she was able to dominate the formerly defiant human girl so easily. Shame that it was only with help from the new girl, but she'd make do with it.

After all, soon enough this bitch would be learning her place without those paints... and once the paint was removed, it'd be so much fun to hold this over her head~

"Mmm, now tell, me how superior am I to your former flings?" Tak groaned as Wendy shoved her tongue deeper.

"Mmm, you're brilliant, beautiful, you deserve to rule the world! I don't even remember the names of half the people I dated, and those I did... pff, Robbie was just a pathetic mistake, while Dipper... I never dated him, but he was just a sad simp who ended up drooling after a bimbo with big tits."

Wendy would have been horrified to hear herself say this if she was clear-headed... well, maybe not about Robbie, but definitely about Dipper. He was one of her best friends, and even without the pining, she still cared about him, so she'd never want to insult him like this!

But right now, all she cared about was pleasing her mistress, who was smirking as she recognized the name of Wendy's friend from previous conversations.

"Hmm, and what would you say to him if he were here now and watching this?" she asked, gripping Wendy's head tight to keep her face pressed hard against her snatch.

"I'd tell him what a loser he is! Because if he'd have made a move to assert dominance and take what he wanted like you have, then I'd be sucking his sad pathetic cock instead of eating your delicious cunt! I'd tell him that his precious Pacifica probably sleeps around behind his back, because he's such a wuss he probably doesn't know the first thing about pleasing a woman!" Wendy declared viciously, licking Tak faster and more eagerly, "If he did, I'd have let him take me, fuck the age difference!"

"So instead, you'd rather throw yourself at me than give him a shot?" Tak sneered, looking to the camera that Mimi was still recording them with.

"Of course I would, mistress! You're better than that worthless cuck could ever be!" Wendy said with absolute certainty.

 She'd regret those words later... but right now in her current state of mind, Tak was every bit Dipper's superiority in looks, cunning, intelligence, ambition... she had it all!

"Mmm, go on... tell me how worthless he is... tell me how much you want to be an alien invader's personal slave~" Tak encouraged with a twisted giggle, while giving off a moan. Making this stupid whore insult her own friend while praising her was almost as much of a thrill as what she was doing with her tongue~

"I want to be yours, mistress, more than anything!" Wendy yelled, looking up at Tak with a desperate passion, "I don't care if I have to sell out my family, my friends, the whole fucking planet! Just let me stay with you!"

"Hmm... ah.., very well," Tak smirked, her eyes gleaming, "If you submit like a good bitch, then I'll allow you to be mine... and I'll give you the honor of claiming your ass~" she added, gesturing for Mimi to pass Tak her personal strap-on. It was modeled after Lothor's cock, and thus was very large and very thick, something that Wendy noticed with widening eyes and a growing blush of anticipation.

"Yes mistress! I submit completely!" she yelled immediately, "I'm your bitch! Your property! Do whatever you want with me!"

"Gladly~" Tak said, before shoving Wendy aside so that she could slip the strap-on into place, "So, turn around and present yourself like the submissive bitch that you are!"

"Yes ma'am!" Wendy said with an eager and wide grin, getting into position, "Fuck me right in the ass! A bitch like me deserves to be put in her place for resisting you before! Show this inferior human why I'm meant to be your personal whore!"

Tak smirked at that, and waited until Mimi was back in best position to record what was about to happen. Then, she braced herself with her hands on Wendy's hips, and lined the strap-on with her asshole, teasing the entrance and making Wendy moan in need.

"Well then, whore... prepare for your first anal probing by an alien!" Tak laughed, before plunging forward and ramming the strap-on into Wendy's ass.

"AH! FUCK!" Wendy screamed in pain at the intrusion, but as Tak started thrusting in and out of her, she found herself thrusting back and the pain quickly fading to pleasure.

"You like it, don't you!" Tak shouted with a cackle, "Bet a whore like you is used to taking it in the ass~" she said, giving a dark smirk, "But first time you've been taken by a real invader!"

"Ah! Yes mistress! You're the only one to ever claim me like this!" Wendy moaned as she kept thrusting her ass back against the sex toy impaling it. She'd actually never had even this kind of sex before, but she didn't want to insult her mistress by correcting her, after all.

"That's right! Because you're nothing but my bitch now!" Tak laughed, before harshly slapping the ass bouncing in front her.

SMACK

"AH! Yes, i'm your bitch! Ah, ah, I'm a fucking sellout giving my body to an alien invader and I fucking love it!" Wendy screamed with a moan, bucking her hips to meet Tak's thrusts, "Ah, ah, ah, and I love you, mistress! Dipper can jerk off with his baby dick while I'm pleasuring you on your throne!"

"And you don't mind if we show him video of you saying that, do you?" Tak asked with a sneer, glancing at the camera before giving Wendy's ass another hit.

SMACK

"AH! No mistress! I don't care if you show the whole world!" Wendy yelled, "Show it to Dipper, all of Gravity Falls, fuck, let the whole world know that I'd rather be an alien's pet whore instead of that stupid cuck boy's girlfriend! And bet that goes for any girl! Bet that whore Pacifica would even spread her legs for Lothor or that undead buddy of his over him! Hell, bet even his sister would laugh at him while bouncing off a real dick!"

 Wendy yelled, unaware of how close to the truth she was. Tak, meanwhile, scowled at the mention of Lothor fucking yet another girl, and she harshly hit Wendy's ass again.

SMACK

"AH!"

"Be careful how you speak about Lothor, you worthless slut," Tak sneered, "He's my partner, and that makes him far superior to a maggot like you. And soon, if you behave, he'll fuck you and you'll realize how glorious the cock of a real man actually is!"

 "Ah, ah, ah, but mistress... I don't want that old creep touching me, ah, ah, I only want you!" Wendy moaned in protest.

 SMACK

"Agh!" Wendy cried out in pain, as this time Tak hit her in the head instead of on her ass.

"Get this through that empty space you call a head," Tak spat, making her thrusts harder and rougher, "Lothor is the only being in the universe worthy of being my equal. And that means he's so superior to a barely-evolved braindead monkey like you that you should feel honored that he even considers you attractive!"

 A part of Tak herself was surprised at how defensive she was over Lothor... she really had allowed herself to develop genuine feelings for him, hadn't she? Perhaps after she was done with this bitch and Lothor returned to the ship, it was past time she and him discussed their relationship and partnership, as well as their future together.

But in the meantime, she had a human slut to teach the importance of showing respect to your betters.

"So, unless you want me to throw you away like the useless whore trash that you are when I'm done having fun with you, I suggest that you learn to keep that disrespectful mouth of yours shut unless it's being used to either lick my cunt or suck Lothor's cock! And if he does choose to let you do that, I expect you to be grateful for it! You understand me, bitch?!" Tak snarled, hitting Wendy's ass again.

SMACK

 "Ah, yes! I understand, I'm sorry, mistress!" Wendy cried out in both pleasure and emotional pain from the woman she loved swooning over that scumbag and the thought of Tak giving her to Lothor to do as he pleased... but if made her happy, she'd do it, "I'll suck him off real good, I'll let him put a baby in me even! Just as long as I can earn your love!"

 "Glad to hear you knowing your place!" Tak laughed, though a part of her couldn't help but scowl at the thought of Lothor getting the dumb slut pregnant. If anyone should get knocked up by him, it should be her! Not that whore princess, or that dumb redhead, or the pig slut, and definitely not this trash!

Though, could she even get pregnant by him? And did she want a child at all?

Fuck it, she thought as she shoved that all aside for now. It would be something else to discuss with Lothor later; for now, she wanted to make this bitch scream.

 SMACK

"AH! Ooooh, mistress!" Wendy moaned as Tak pounded into her harder and harder, while lashing out and grabbing her by the hair, jerking her head back as she plowed Wendy's ass.

"You're nothing but a whore! My whore!" Tak spat, "Without me, you're nothing but hick garbage from a worthless town that no one cares about!"

"Ah, ah, yes mistress! My life was meaningless before I met you!" Wendy yelled, and she knew that that was true. She'd just been stuck in Gravity Falls while the people she cared about moved on without her, leaving her with no prospects other than being a lumberjack forever and maybe marrying some local yokel she found moderately attractive.

Now though, she had such a higher purpose, being the fuck-pet of a beautiful green angel from the stars! What else could she possibly want?!

She'd finally be doing something with her life! She'd show Dipper what he missed out on, she'd show her dad and brothers she was meant for more than cutting down trees, and she'd show her mom that she wasn't weak! She'd help her mistress (and, ugh, that bastard Lothor that she was wasting her time on) conquer Earth, and then she'd have a comfy life as Tak's pampered pet, while everyone else suffered and toiled!

That was such a beautiful thought, that it was enough to finally send Wendy over the edge.

"MIIISSSSSSTTTTTTRRREEEESSSS!!!!" Wendy screamed in absolute ecstasy, eyes rolling up in her head as her cunt exploded juices over the floor.

"Fuck! Cum for your mistress!" Tak cackled out in pleasure at the same time just as a certain form walked into the room, raising a brow at the sight.

"Well, this isn't what I was expecting," Lothor commented, making Tak jerk in surprise and turn to look at him while Wendy collapsed to the floor in a post-orgasmic heap.

"Hmph, I thought you'd still be fucking your newest whore," Tak scoffed, regaining her composure and glaring at her partner while still keeping the strap-on in Wendy's ass.

"Eh, turned out that she didn't quite have the stamina she thought that she did, so I just brought her up and dumped her in her new quarters," he replied, eyes hungrily looking over Wendy's nude and sweaty body, "But seriously, how did this happen?"

"The painter was able to cook up a new formula that makes the victim fall in love with the first person they see," Tak explained, snorting as she pulled out of Wendy, "Now this stupid bitch thinks she's in love with me, and I'm breaking her in while recording it to mock her with later once it wears off."

"Ooh, how nasty~" Lothor chuckled, glancing at Mimi's camera as he took that in, "I do love your sadistic side, dear~"

"Of course you do, i'm your queen and partner~" Tak replied with a smirk, "And fun aside, this is proving an excellent test of the formula capabilities, and I can safely say we can put it to use."

She said with a dark look, before frowning, "The drawbacks are that once the paint's washed off the effects are gone, and the victim only falls for the person they see, so while she adores me, she still hates you, if not even more so out of jealousy for us being together."

"Oh, really?" Lothor asked in amusement, looking to Wendy as she struggled into a sitting position, "Is that right, pet? You don't care for your master?"

"Fuck... you... asshole," Wendy spat, glaring at him as she panted for breath, "Mistress deserves better than some man-whore who sleeps around on her!"

"Shut up, slut!" Tak snapped, kicking Wendy back down, "What did I tell you about respecting your betters?!"

"Ah! Sorry mistress!" Wendy exclaimed, bravado immediately collapsing, which made Lothor laugh at the switch.

"Oh, we're going to have fun with this~" he chuckled, looking to Tak as she took the strap-on off, "Want to see how she reacts to watching me fucking you? It would be a good punishment for her at this point, I think?"

"Mmm, read my mind~ Make sure you give it to me hard and fuck me over the whore's body~" Tak said with a delighted cackle and smile, before giving a slight pause and serious look toward Lothor, "Though after our fun is done, I want to talk to you later alone... about our partnership."

Lothor paused at that, noting the very serious look in Tak's eyes. Hmm, was this about his relationship with Vivi? Well, whatever it was, it was probably best to treat it seriously for the sake of their partnership.

"As you wish, dear," he replied with a nod, before beginning to disrobe, "But first, let's have some fun. So, Wendy, lie down on your back for us."

"...Mistress?" Wendy looked to Tak pleadingly.

"Do it, slut," Tak snapped, making Wendy flinch but comply, lying down on her back on the floor. And Tak a moment later laid back on Wendy's chest, spreading her legs, "Well, go on... conquer my body over this whore~" Tak said as Wendy's eyes widen, "Make this bitch feel how a real partner pleases a woman~"

"Mistress, please..." Wendy begged, only for Tak to reach back and slam her head back against the floor.

"Shut up, slut. Sit there and watch me get fucked by someone far superior to you~" the Irken said with a smirk, before leaning back against Wendy's breasts as Lothor leaned over her and got into position.

"Yes, watch and take notes, on the cock that'll soon be fucking you too!" Lothor declared, before plunging into Tak's snatch.

"Oh, fuck yes!" Tak yelled, immediately beginning to thrust back against Lothor as she started bouncing between his cock and Wendy's stomach.

Wendy herself was crying tears of anger and humiliation from this. The woman she loved was being fucked right on top of her, and she was powerless to do anything!

PLAP PLAP PLAP

"Ah, fuck yes! Oooh, how's it feel, slut! How's it feel for the woman you desire to be fucked right on top of your pathetic body!?" Tak moaned with a cackle, while bucking her hips against Lothor's thrusts.

"It's... it's awful, mistress," Wendy admitted honestly.

"Good, that ah, ah, means that the punishment's working," Tak sneered, before turning back to Lothor, "Ah, ah, fuck me harder!"

"With pleasure~" Lothor laughed, increasing the pace of his pounding of Tak's cunt.

"Mistress, please..." Wendy pleaded with a crack in her voice.

"Shut up, you, ahhh, whore!" Tak moaned, bucking her hips against Lothor's cock, "Ah, ah, ah, you'll have your turn soon enough~" she crowed, groaning as Lothor leaned down to hungrily kiss her, with Tak wrapping her arms around his neck.

While Wendy stiffened in horror under them at the thought of Lothor not only defiling Tak, but also defiling her next! She couldn't let that happen! But... she couldn't fight Lothor... and if she tried to resist, then Tak would never forgive her. Even though she was settling far below what a goddess like herself deserved, she wanted to be with Lothor, and she wanted Wendy to get fucked by him. And a good pet needed to obey her mistress to keep her happy, after all.

So, as disgusting as the thought was, she'd have to let him fuck her. It was necessary for now, but later she'd show Tak that she didn't need him!

"Ah, ah, ah, yessss! Ah, ah, ah, yes, fuck! Yes, conquer this body! Then we'll conquer this whore!" Tak moaned as she started to cum on Lothor's dick, right on top of Wendy.

"Yes, we'll conquer her, just like we'll conquer this whole planet!" Lothor declared as he also came, his seed filling Tak up and soon spilling out of her cunt onto Wendy along with her juices as he pulled out of her.

The two panted for a moment in orgasmic bliss, and then Lothor sneered down at the disgusted-looking Wendy.

"Ready to get your cherry popped, slut?" he asked.

Wendy shot him a glare, "You might fuck me, but my heart will belong to Tak, and sooner or later she'll realize she doesn't need you!"

Tak scowled at that, but Lothor just laughed, picturing how Wendy would react to all of this once the paint wore off. Remaining defiant to him while pledging love to Tak, whom she normally hated just as much? That was hilarious, and her reaction to it would be a cherry on top of everything else that had happened, and was about to.

"Keep telling yourself that, dear," he sneered, while Tak moved aside. With her out of the way, he grabbed Wendy's legs and shoved them open to expose her cunt, which he teased with his cock, "Now then, smile for the camera, so we can preserve this moment for future happy memories~"

"Oh, fuck you, you ass-AAAHHHH!!!" Wendy started to say, only to scream as Lothor suddenly rammed into her, his cock tearing through her hymen with ease.

"FUCK!" Wendy screamed in pain, wincing as her virginity was finally taken from her. After all these years and flings, it was taken by an asshole alien warlord who was keeping her real love away from her!

"How does she feel?" Tak asked with a leering smirk.

"So fucking tight," Lothor chuckled as he thrust in and out of the redhead, "But also so wet. Seems you really got her worked up, dear."

"Of course I did. I told you, I've got her completely wrapped around my finger," Tak laughed, "I could order her to stand on a street corner naked while masturbating and screaming her loyalty for everyone to hear, and she'd do it!"

"Hmm, now there's a, ah, ah, fun idea~" Lothor leered, smirking down at Wendy, before slapping her breasts.

SMACK

"AH!"

"What do you think, slut? Feel like parading yourself for the whole world to see and let them all know who you belong to?" he asked.

 "Urg... I belong to Tak! Not some asshole who treats us and all women like another notch on his belt!" Wendy moaned, trying to ignore how hot that idea made her. It was just the thought of publicly pledging her love for Tak that made her feel that good, not this asshole suggesting that she do it for him too!

"Stupid cunt can't seem to get it through her head that she belongs to us both equally," Tak scoffed.

"It's not her fault that she's not that bright, darling. We'll just have to properly housebreak her~" Lothor sneered, before giving Wendy's breasts another hit.

SMACK

 "Ah! Ah, ah, I'm, ah, plenty bright!" Wendy moaned, doing her best to glare defiantly, "Bright enough to, ah, ah, see, ah, Tak is the, ah, ah, real brains here!"

 "Well, I, ah, ah, won't lie. She's definitely the brightest person around here," Lothor admitted, making Tak blink in surprise, "But, ah, ah, that doesn't mean that you're not, ah, ah, still a brainless slut!"

"Ah, ah, shit, maybe I am, but I, ah, ah, ain't your brainless slut!" Wendy moaned, bucking her hips against his thrusts.

"Not yet, but you will be soon enough!" Lothor growled as he kept pounding away, "By the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging for my cock even when you're not drugged!"

 "I'd, ah, rather suck Robbie's dick, you creep!" Wendy moaned as Tak sneered down at her.

"Even submitting to your superior, you insist on being a stupid defiant bitch," she scoffed. Wendy flinched at that, conflicting emotions hitting her.

"Ah, ah, I'm sorry mistress, but I, AAAAHHH!!!!" Wendy tried to say, only to be cut off by a scream as she finally came, pussy tightening and spraying juices around Lothor's cock, pushing him over the edge and making him cum as well.

"Urrrggghhh! You like that, you stupid whore?" Lothor asked as he finished unleashing his load into her, "You like how I probably just knocked you up?"

 "Ah, ah, no! I... I can't be pregnant!" At Lothor's words, Wendy eyes widened in realization, she might very well be pregnant after this! She couldn't bear this asshole's children! She should only be having children with her mistress! She didn't know how, but that's the way it should be!

However, before she could even process it, Lothor suddenly pulled out of her and grabbed her head.

"But you can think about that later. For now, put that big mouth to good use!" he demanded, before shoving his cock into her mouth.

"And while you're taking her mouth, I'll give the bitch's used-up cunt a run myself," Tak said, putting the large strap-on back on as she got into position behind Wendy and shoved it right into her pussy, with Wendy giving off a muffled moan as they began to double team her.

 For her part, Wendy tried to focus on having her mistress inside her, the way it was supposed to be, and not sucking on this bastard's cock... no matter how big and tasty it was...

And with tha,t the threesome with the current love hypnotized captive began in earnest.

Scene of Tak and Lothor taking Wendy by her cunt and ass, with her sandwiched in between them.

Scene of Tak using Wendy, who was on her knees and hands, as a seat as Lothor ate her out.

Scene of Wendy being forced to dance while Tak bounced off Lothor's cock.

Scene of Lothor fucking Wendy in the ass while she ate out Tak's seed-filled cunt.

Scene of Tak getting fucked in the ass by Lothor while whipping Wendy's back.

Scene of Tak sitting on Wendy's face while sucking Lothor's cock.

Scene of Lothor fucking Wendy doggy style while he and Tak made out.

On and on it went, until finally Wendy passed out and collapsed to the floor, no amount of prodding or kicking making her wake back up.

"Looks like we finally got everything we could out of her," Lothor chuckled.

"Hmph, probably for the best," Tak commented, pushing Wendy's hair aside to reveal that the paint on her forehead was starting to run from the amount of sweat that she'd worked up, "As much fun as it would be to see her break free of the hypnosis while in the middle of the fun, I think it'll be more humorous to give her the brief moment of hope that it might have all just been a dream."

"Heh, that'll be a fun reaction," Lothor said with a smirk, while snapping his fingers to summon two Kelzaks, "Take her back to her cell. Oh, and toss her clothes in with her, I suppose."

The Kelzaks nodded before moving to lift and carry Wendy out of the room, while Tak glanced over towards Lothor.

"Now that the fun's out of the way, we need to talk," She said with a serious look, "About our invasion operations, our new gains, Skeleton King's new assets..."

She paused, before giving a sigh.

"And we need to talk about us," she added at Lothor's look, "I believe this partnership has become more than either us expected, and I believe it's time we address the more emotional side of things rather than physical pleasure and our work to conquer Earth."

Lothor frowned at that, but after taking it in, he gave a sigh.

"Yes, I suppose things have moved quite past this merely being an alliance with benefits, hasn't it?" he said as he took a seat on a nearby table, "And I imagine that makes me look quite bad with my sleeping around, doesn't it?"

"Hmph, well, I admit I can see using sex as a tool, like securing this new alliance with Alabasta's brat princess, or as a means of dominance of enemies, like the whore we just kicked out or the pig-slut," Tak scoffed angrily, "But must you really fuck every female you find attractive?"

"I like sex, and you're not always available," Lothor said with a shrug, "But I hope you realize that it doesn't diminish the genuine nature of whatever feelings I've come to develop for you. None of them really come close to matching that deviance of yours that I find so appealing~"

Tak, despite herself, felt her cheeks flush a bit as she smirked.

"As always, you certainly have a way with saying what people want to hear," She muttered with a slight scoff as she took a seat across him, "But even if that's true, I wouldn't mind experimenting by doing more as romantic partners."

She said, giving off a frown, "And if you're going to insist on fucking more whores, whether for our goals or simply pleasure, then we'll need to establish a hierarchy, and figure out how a relationship between us will really work."

The Irken said, before adding with a annoyed scowl, "Especially since some of those whores, like the princess, likely have different ideas of where they stand on the pecking order."

"Oh, no doubt about that," Lothor said, thinking of how with Vivi's personality, she was likely going to demand being seen as the only one equal to Lothor in the harem, "But I'm confident that the more assertive ones will likely be bought off into accepting a lower position. With Vivi, for instance, I've promised her regional control of a big chunk of the planet, so that should satisfy her enough to not raise too much of a fuss. And any others, you can likely handle in a show of force if necessary."

"Obviously," Tak scoffed, "I'm sure I'm more than a match for any human, regardless of whatever powers they might have."

"Well, once Zala recovers from earlier, I'm sure she'll be willing to give you a run for your money in the training room," Lothor chuckled, already looking forward to that.

 "I have been meaning to start training more. I wasn't satisfied with my performance at Kaznia," Tak murmured with a smirk, before shaking it off, "Regardless of my superiority over lesser females, if we've moved past allies with benefits who might betray the other for power, perhaps it's time to start doing more activities together outside of sexual intercourse."

 "Oh? So, you'd like actual dates?" Lothor asked, arching a brow.

"If you want to call it that, I suppose," Tak said, rolling her eyes but blushing at how intimate that sounded when said out loud.

"Well, if it's what you want dear, then I'm more than happy to oblige," Lothor said, reaching out to stroke her cheek.

"I'll confess, since abandoning natural reproduction, romantic partnerships became rare among Irkens, so outside of honey pot tactics and using sex to my advantage, I don't have much experience with serious relationships with emotional weight behind them," Tak admitted, leaning into his touch, "But I've never turned down a challenge~" She said with a smirk, "I'm sure we can figure out a way to enjoy a romantic outing, whether incognito or openly."

"Glad to hear it," Lothor said, taking his hand back, "In fact, why don't you give me a day or two to tie up some loose ends in Alabasta, let Vivi know that I'll be gone for a while, and then I'll be free to spend as much time with you as you want."

 "That sounds lovely," Tak said with a small smile, before covering it up with a cough, "But that's enough fooling around, we have a invasion to work on, Earth isn't going to conquer itself, after all."

 "Very true," Lothor said with a smirk at her reaction, "Let me make my call, and I'll meet you on the bridge to start debating our next move. We'll need to find something to try and counteract Skeleton King's new children."

 "Yes, and I hope this means your little competition to the side, you're ready to start taking that thing seriously as a threat," Tak said with a frown, which made Lothor sigh in resignation. He knew that his fellow isekai was unlikely to actually ever threaten him, but he couldn't exactly admit to that. Besides, in terms of their competition, Tak wasn't wrong.

"Yes, I'm aware that I've been too lax on that front," he admitted, "Believe me, I'm going to definitely be reevaluating where we stand with him going forward."

"Good... because as much as I hate to admit it, he's proving more of a threat than even I realized," Tak said with a scowl, "We need more information about his past and capabilities, and we need to be ready if he decides to attack us directly."

 "Agreed, darling. We should be prepared for anything," Lothor said to appease her... and, he reluctantly admitted, because it might be a good idea to have backup plans, just in case.

With that, the two both left the room, Tak heading towards the bridge while Lothor went to make his call to Vivi.

He'd had fun in Alabasta, but it was time to get back to work... And show Earth that Skeleton King wasn't the only warlord around they should fear.
