Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rampage
Anger spread through the body of Bane. Two distinct magical assaults were not enough to take him down. Harry looked over and caught a glimpse of Bane turning his attention towards him. Harry flashed out of the way with Bane coming an inch away from taking his head off.
Bane smashed his fist down onto the ground and caused a miniature explosion when he slammed himself fist first into the ground. In a blink of an eye, Harry flashed from behind Bane. He withdrew two amplified daggers and threw them with as much force as possible. The daggers caught Bane in the chest but only caused him to stagger back an inch.
Astoria flipped herself into the air and pulled out a dagger with a snakeskin handle on it. She slammed the blade of the dagger into Bane's chest. The dagger warped against the chest of the muscled up man. Astoria dodged the swing from bane, with Lucretia dragging her out of the way.
Vega rapid fired daggers into Bane's chest. Each of them bounced off of his chest and he charged forward. Daphne caught Bane running and forced him to flip over and land on the ground. Bane smashed against a concrete enclosure.
Daphne, Vega, and Lucretia blasted Bane and tried to hold him down onto the ground. The strength of the man only increased the more pressure they put on him. Bane's loud roar echoed around the area. He swung towards Daphne who just narrowly avoided having her head taken off from a wild swing.
"I don't understand this!" Daphne managed.
"Watch your head if you want to keep it!"
Seconds after Lucretia's warning came Bane's fist in an honest attempt to cave in Daphne's face. Daphne flashed out of the way a blink of an eye later and avoided getting Bane's fist smashed into her face. She dropped down behind him and aimed a cutting spell at one of the tubes feeding into his back.
Bane turned and allowed the spell to strike him in the shoulder. The energy swelled around him and just made Bane grow even larger. His body thickened up, with veins pulsing, and eyes bulging. The man raised his hands in the air.
Harry transported one of the mines a mercenary dropped down directly underneath Bane. Detonation occurred with the mine launching Bane halfway up into the air and sending him crashing down onto the ground. Bane rolled up to his feet and pulled something out of his belt.
A small metal object rolled out of his hand and released an energy dome, blocking their progress to the temple. Daphne acted like she was going to teleport on through. Harry grabbed her by the arm to prevent her from doing so.
"It will rip you apart if you go through," Harry said.
"Right, I….I knew that," Daphne answered, responding with a shake of her head. "What did he inject himself with anyway?"
Talia moved over. She took one of the larger and more frustrating mercenaries down with a huge forearm smash driven down onto the back of the man's head. She pulled back and wiped a small amount of blood off of her lips. Nyssa gave her a sidelong glance. Talia threw her shoulders back in an attempt to motion that she was fine.
"They call it Venom, it is supposed to amplify the strength and resistance of an enemy," Talia said. "But, it's not supposed to make them immune to all magical attacks."
Harry took a moment to lean down and study the orb Bane dropped. He already slipped into the temple.
"We have more defenses inside," Daphne explained. "But, exactly how long they're going to hold, I don't really know."
One nod showed Harry understood where she was coming from. He locked eyes onto the orb on the ground and started to study it. He turned around a second later to see Daphne and Astoria drag a bound figure. Copperhead looked rather dazed and confused.
"Maybe she'll be able to tell you what you wish to know, Great One," Astoria offered.
Harry thought it was just about as well. All things considered, he had no idea what he was banking on. He leaned down towards Copperhead, and force the woman to stand. She just barely acknowledged Harry's presence when looking at her.
"I know you can hear me, and I know you will answer me, "Harry said. "Am I correct on both of those accounts?"
Copperhead's tongue flickered a moment later and she hissed in response. "Yes, you're right, no matter how much I wish to fight it…..I have to tell you anything."
"You don't want to fight it, really," Harry said. "You've been just fed a spoonful of lies by HIVE and by Bane….."
Most of Bane's mercenaries already retreated from the area or had been rendered unconscious. As for HIVE, they were always a pain to deal with under the best circumstances.
"They are not lies!" Copperhead managed.
"Are they?" Harry asked. "Can you tell me whether or not you were one hundred percent on board with Bane? Did you really think you would have a better life? Or were you just going for one master to another."
Copperhead's eye twitched. He spoke in not only her native tongue but also in a very compelling voice which caused her to snap forward to face him.
"He has received new and improved Venom from HIVE, "Copperhead said. "There is but one weakness to it, but I don't know what it is. I glimpsed the note HIVE sent to him before he ushered me away."
Harry could tell there was a slight bit more going on than met the eye with Copperhead. He looked her straight in the eye and she could not go away.
"You can disable the force field by overcharging it with more than a sufficient amount of energy, "Copperhead said. "Bane will not rest until he receives the medallion…and enslaves the three Heralds. HIVE wants their power as well…and I believe they may intend to turn on Bane."
"Naturally," Talia said.
"We're wasting time," Daphne said. "I saw a weakness on him, and…"
Harry brought out the sword and stabbed the sphere with it. The energy amplified until the item burned out and had been reduced to a smoldering pile of ashes. Very few could pull that one off and even with the enhanced ability of the amulet, Harry had been slightly winded.
"Are you alright?" Daphne asked.
"Not pleasant, but I'm durable," Harry said. "Let's go."
Visions of great power seduced all but the strongest of men. Bane had spent most of his life living in darkness and living in decay, trying to gather strength. He rose up out of that hell not be driven back down by a powerful force, but to rise even further himself.
'Closer,' Bane thought.
Rage motivated Bane and also a thirst for power. He stepped inside of the temple and looked around. The statues of the heralds lined up against the wall. Soon they would be little more than servants, play toys for Bane to do with as he wished, whenever he wished. He could hardly wait to bend them at his feet and make them suffer.
'Forward, it's close, I can feel it.'
Bane placed a hand on the wall and could feel the stones about ready to part. One huge fist smashed through the edge of the wall.
The large masked mercenary came across the statue of the Queen. She looked down upon all who worshiped her with a smile on her face. Heroic, and ultimately foolish, Bane paid the Queen no mind. The presence of his statue just meant he grew ever closer.
"Finally," Bane growled even deeper.
Bane swung back and smashed into the wall. The wall resisted Bane's continued and effortless smashing. He slammed it deep against the wall and buried his knuckles until them. Blood oozed from Bane's knuckles, something which should not have happened given the super powered venom pumping through his veins.
One turn of the dial fixed Bane's problems and pumped more into his body. He threw his arms back and rammed them directly into the side of the temple. Everything cracked on either side. Bane growled and pulled his arms back and slammed then into the temple once more. His fists did the vast majority of the talking, slamming into the temple all of the way.
"Closer!" Bane howled at the top of his lungs.
Closer he came and closer he went, smashing his way through the temples. Bane's knuckles grew swollen from ramming themselves into the temple. He drew in a deep breath and reared back his hand one more time. Bane planted it into the side of the temple where it connected with a solid crack.
The stone's parted ways and allowed Bane to step into a long corridor. Several markings in the native language of the tribe glistened in the wall. Bane's bloodied knuckles healed over, only dried blood now when he pushed himself further into the temple. Bane stepped further into the temple and lifted his head up. Sensations entered his body, and he moved forward.
"Typical hiding place," Bane growled.
Those last few words came out of his mouth when he pounded against the wall. The snakes on the wall parted when they had been smashed in blood.
Bane came eye to eye with the medallion, with the simple carvings of snakes etched into it. The mercenary reached out and grabbed the medallion.
The medallion passed through his fingers and flickered out in the distance. Three voices laughed in unison.
"Did you really think we would keep a medallion in such an obvious hiding spot? Anya taunted him.
"They say he's a tactical schemer, a genius, but I think the venom seeping into his brain made him not as bright as he could have been," Isabelle said.
Bane listened for the sound of the voices. He moved off to one side, only to run headlong into something. A containment field trapped him and prevented further movement. Bane growled when pushing his way through the containment field.
"You can't stop me!" Bane yelled.
Bane reached over, back to an old vice, back to cranking up the Venom as much as possible. The venom pumped its way into Bane's veins and caused them to expand. He placed his hands on either side of the wall and brought it down. The rocks falling all around him disabled the containment field.
"Not too bright of you, was it?"
Bane looked up just in time to see the Dragon flash in front of him in all of his glory. Bane grunted and ripped the rocks from him.
"I'm stronger!" Bane yelled.
"And not smarter either," Harry said. "Can't say you were too bright making a deal with HIVE, given how they use people and spit them out. You're nothing but a high-powered drone, and every time you dose yourself with Venom, it slowly strips away your intelligence."
Not time for conversation, Harry figured, and sure enough, Bane proved him right. Bane tried to land a very violent punch to the side of his enemy's head. Harry bobbed out of the way and noticed the punch sailing over the top of Harry's head, smacking up against the wall.
Bane pulled away and rushed. Harry lured Bane out into the open, while also giving him enough cover. Bane looked bulking and it was hard for him to maneuver around the corner quick enough to grab Harry.
'Keep his hands off of me, because magic or not, he could crush my throat.'
Harry intended for that not to happen. He avoided Bane when Bane reached out. The trap he set caused the ground to explode underneath Bane and force him to drop into a dungeon area of the temple.
Bane popped up just in time to see Harry Potter come down and double stomp him on his chest. He gagged from the impact coming off of him. Harry slid back and motioned for Bane to come back at him. Harry dodged the attack and rapid fire a swing from the dagger.
The dagger partially sliced one of the tubes feeding the Venom into Bane. Instinctively, Bane reached for the tube which spilled out. Harry took advantage of this instinct, by destroying the second feeder tube with a concussive blast. Bane thrashed in agony, and Harry disrupted the feeding mechanism as well.
The final tube inside of Bane overloaded with Venom and threatened to cause his body to swell up. The energy surrounding him was just too much. Bane threw his head back and gave an agonizing scream.
Harry stabbed him in the back of the neck and blood, along with green serum, splashed out of him. He would survive the attack due to the residue immunity. Despite the survival, Bane most certainly would be feeling that one for quite some time.
Those loud screams echoed throughout the area. Bane's body expanded for at least twice its normal length. He resembled a candle which had been lit extremely hot and burned out extremely fast. Bane's screams echoed through the area around him.
Bane's body snapped back, he slid and dropped down to the ground. Bane pressed both hands onto the top of his head, agonizing. The burning energy flared through Bane's body as he slowly, but surely, faded into a husk of a man. Bane's fingers twitched when dropping down onto the ground.
Anya, Isabelle, and Vanessa flashed into the temple. The stunted, once proud mercenary, shivered on the ground. It had been the weakest he had ever been in a very long. Bane's fingers twitched a second later before the man faded.
"No, I was so close," Bane managed in the weakened tone of voice.
"Actually, you weren't," Isabelle said. "The thought counted, though."
She blasted Bane down with one little bolt of magic which caused his cells to degenerate even further. She kept him in a stasis field to prevent his mind from degenerating alongside the rest of body.
"There's still one more thing we need to take care of," Isabelle commented.
All three of the heralds turned their attention to one side, only to notice their great leader having disappeared in a blink of an eye. All three of them smiled. They still had the problem regarding HIVE and it looked like their great leader had the right idea.
Ruve Darhk folded her arms off to her chest and waited. She watched from a distance and watched Bane step inside of the temple. He made his way for the medallion which would have been a great bargaining chip to achieve her goals. Unfortunately, Bane did not exit the temple very quickly and Ruve knew with each second having passed, she knew the chances of Bane leaving the temple either willingly or on his own accord, they were very limited.
"Should we wait any longer?" one of the HIVE members asked her.
"Give him a few moments longer," Ruve said.
Ruve did not get contact from the other HIVE representatives. They were still working on retrieving her husband who had disappeared in a blink of an eye trying to retrieve the artifact to take down the Dragon in the Far East. Ruve's fingers lightly tapped around the contact information.
A figure swooped down from behind and stabbed one of the men in front of her on the side of the neck. The wound was fairly grisly, but not entirely lethal. Ruve took half of a step back and watched when the two nearest members dropped down onto the ground. The goons kept falling down onto the ground in a circle around the HIVE representative.
The dust cleared, and Ruve stepped back an inch. She ran into someone very solid. Slowly, her head turned around and stepped back, to go face to face with the one and only Dragon. The medallion swung out in front of her eyes, tantalizing her. Ruve knew better than many never to reach out and touch that medallion for the consequences could be Earth shattering.
"I have to say, you make an impression wherever you go," Ruve said a moment later. "And you're even more intriguing than the legends my husband obsesses on makes you out to be."
"Where is your husband?" Harry asked.
Ruve took a few seconds to consider his question and consider how much she was going to tell him. She did not fear looking him in the eyes because she had no deceit.
"My husband has not surfaced ever since his confrontation with you," Ruve said. "We both know better to consider him dead until there's a body."
"I think he still lives, but he's biding his time," Harry said.
"That much we can both agree about," Ruve answered. "I'm certain you're wondering the purpose of this mission. Why I teamed up with Bane? Why we attacked this Temple and attempted to liberate the amulet from it?"
"Those thoughts did cross my mind," Harry said.
"I have no doubt," Ruve said. "As you know, my husband is a part of a criminal organization known as HIVE, as I am. My power ranking is slightly above his, although he has the ambition to acquire more. And I do not hold any delusions what he might do if I stood in his way."
"Sounds like a pretty pleasant marriage," Harry said dryly.
Ruve answered with a shrug in response. "When you don't deal with the business regarding HIVE, it can be one. But, most of the time, we have our own goals, and we rarely cross them. The South American drug trade Bane is taking control of will replenish resources we've lost in the battle of the League of Assassins. Which, you've apparently aligned yourself with."
The woman took a moment to consider Harry.
"Unless you attempt to wrestle control of the League away from Ra's al Ghul," Ruve said. "Our goals are not too much different, Dragon. I wish for more power inside of HIVE, as there are those above me, and most certainly above my husband who would wish me harm if I stepped out of the lines they designated."
Only a moment passed before Harry nodded. Some kind of angle was being worked regarding what Ruve had planned. Harry just needed to figure out which angle she was working.
"HIVE is after power, but my husband is one small cog in a bigger machine," Ruve said. "And I don't think he has the ambition these days to take over HIVE. He's too fixated with powerful trinkets and his plans to cleanse the world, to create a perfect life."
Harry just raised his eyebrow for a fraction of a second. Ruve very nearly descended to her knees before the Dragon, but stopped and pulled herself up to look him straight in the eye with respect and dignity.
"The League can be yours, and you can help eliminate several unsavory parties from HIVE," Ruve said. "And once I've taken control of HIVE, there will be no further aggressions against you. I swear on the head of my child I will not act against you."
"That's a very serious vow," Harry responded. "What about your husband?"
A moment passed a second and Ruve gave him a fraction of a smile. She leaned into Harry.
"What needs to be done, will be done," Ruve said. "We have a deal?"
Before Harry could answer, a dart impacted the side of her neck. The tranquilizer filled through Ruve's body and dropped her to the ground in one fell movement. A pair of boots was the last thing she saw before she blacked out into a state of unconsciousness.
"She told you what you expected?" Talia asked.
"Yes, Damien has a far bigger plan than getting an artifact which will destroy me, and there are others higher up the food chain in HIVE," Harry said.
"So, he portrays himself as a far greater threat," Talia said. "I would say that's a surprise, but I'm not."
Talia and Harry stooped down on the ground and made sure Ruve was held. She had plenty of information to give them, and given her status in HIVE and potential inside information regarding her husband, her value just increased tenfold.
"It goes without saying there's something she was keeping from me," Harry said.
No one involved had a doubt in their mind. For now, Ruve had to be contained for her own good, at least until they figured out their next move. And Harry had to talk to someone else.
Bane slumped against the wall of the chair. He could barely hold his head up and barely remain standing. His heart struggled to pump in a breath. An oxygen mask had been placed over his face which kept him alive. Two bracelets snapped him to the wall. Bane had seen better days for certain.
A figure appeared in the darkness in front of Bane. Bane took in a deep breath for a second. The oxygen tank just allowed him enough of a chance to draw in his breath and draw out his breath. The breathing continued when the form of the Dragon appeared in front of him.
"Savor your victory now," Bane managed. "For, there are those who will still hope to crush you."
Bane's voice sounded very garbled, almost modulated after the beating Harry gave to him. The venom did damage to his vocal cords. Those green eyes haunted him for several nights and would continue to haunt him for several more nights. They stood, fixated, and cold when staring Bane completely down. Bane's fingers twitched when trying to break free.
"You're just barely kept alive," Harry said. "You have information for me."
"Maybe, I do," Bane said. "HIVE set me up. As I expected, had it not been for your interference, I would have had everything I needed from that temple."
Bane gagged when the oxygen burned his lungs. His nerve endings tingled and not in excitement either. Two eyes stared down at him as well.
"You would never have gotten close to the medallion," Harry said. "You had to be allowed inside so we can trap you. And now, you're in a hole deep underground. I hope you've figured out the gravity, and how you're not going to escape anytime soon."
"So, I'm in a hole deep underneath the ground. It would not have been the first one I've been able to escape from."
Just as he said those words, Bane tried to stand. Pain racked through her body. Those ligaments which held his legs together and allowed him to walk had been eroded away. He only could stand for a fraction of a second. Bane thumped down to the ground.
"Case in point," Harry said.
Bane slumped over and took a harsh breath out of his body.
"You're not getting out anytime soon, and I've shut down your operation, and rescued the borders around this temple," Harry said. "It's going to take a small army to breach the area around this temple."
"Oh, if he wants this temple, he will take it," Bane said. "He will be very interested in seeing how you survived and….."
Bane grunted when another stabbing pain came through his lungs. Harry waved his hand and there was fluid, build up for the venom constricted his air flow and prevented him from being able to breathe. Bane's burning agony increased when rocking through his body.
"Bane, stay with me," Harry told him.
A jolt of energy shot through Harry's hand and shook Bane's body. Bane quivered underneath the attack and he coughed up some fluid. Blood and green serum splattered onto the ground. Bane's eyes drooped over and he slumped down. The eyes were opened, but no one was home.
'Legimens,' Harry thought.
Harry tried to get into Bane's mind, but unfortunately, the damage of his brain tissue prevented him getting any thought patterns. You could not have gotten any thought patterns from a brain-dead man, and while Bane was not completely brain-dead, he had more than his fair share of damage.
'Damn it, just one stupid little thought, that's all I want,' Harry thought.
The throbbing in Bane's temples showed a very thick blockage in his mind. Harry tried to force the thoughts out of his mind, but nothing, nothing tangible had been pulled from the mind.
'His mind should shut down,' Harry thought.
'Can't you get anything from his mind?' Sara asked.
Harry took a moment to look into any areas of Bane's mind which were still functional. There were only areas still function which regulated basic functions like breathing, eating, and some coordination movements. Harry leaned closer towards Bane's eyes and tried to find something.
'Nothing, I only pulled out a few scattered thoughts,' Harry thought. 'Magic can do a lot, but this type of brain tissue damage, I don't think it's good.'
'Well, the village has been liberated at the very least,' Nyssa commented. 'Hopefully, we can keep them out. Especially when we have a pretty big bargaining chip as far as HIVE is concerned.'
Harry pulled back with a not so subtle nod. They had one of the biggest bargaining chips ever, Ruve Darhk, the wife of the lost Damien Darhk. Well lost, if he wasn't among the dried out husks which ARGUS pulled out of the temple to analyze.
To be honest, Harry knew better to consider someone dead until he saw confirmed proof. And he could not sense Darhk had gone on or he was still alive. Limbo meant alive as far as Harry was concerned. One could come back from Limbo. Hell one could come back from death if the right plays had been made.
'I'm heading back,' Harry thought.
Bane's eyes glazed over. His veins flared for a second which caused Harry pause. He made sure the rune stones which secured Bane in place held him. Once Harry determined he was secured, he turned around and walked off to leave the destroyed Bane to recover.
Harry stepped into the temple. He came face to face, or rather face to behind with Daphne Greengrass. Daphne bent over in a pair of tight yoga pants which stretched over her very firm backside. She stretched as much as possible and slowly turned around to face Harry with a very small smile on her face.
"Hello, great one," Daphne said. "Or Harry, isn't it when we're outside of the temple?"
Daphne looked for a second and moved over towards him. She had a few minutes alone with the Dragon and damn if Daphne would not make the most of it. Daphne stepped closer towards him.
"I hope you don't mind calling you Great One within the confines of this temple," Daphne said. "Because you are much more than a legend out there. I saw you up close and it was stunning. And inspiring as well."
"You and your team performed well out there," Harry said. "A team is only good as their leader though. And you've really stepped up. All you need was a little nudge."
A cheeky little smile spread over Daphne's face. She pushed closer towards Harry a moment. She dared put her hands down on Harry's side and looked him in the face.
"You've inspired me," Daphne said. "They chose me to lead this team."
"And you will lead with strength," Harry said. "All of them have their own strengths, don't they? You're going to have to find out how to use them to the best of your abilities."
Several seconds passed and Daphne looked up into the skylight. The moonlight inspired her for a few seconds. She wondered if she dared.
"Thank you," Daphne said. "It means a lot to me. And you helped us today. The village is now ours again and you will find our Queen once again. And the Three will finally be able to walk the world outside of the temple one more time."
She looked very excited. Harry met her dazzling eyes. Her body looked to be the pinnacle of female beauty. She was older than Harry remembered from his time, but given the nature of the accelerated timeline he was in, it went without saying. Daphne moved a little bit closer towards Harry.
Before she closed the distance, the door swung open. Astoria made her way inside. She looked and saw her sister inches away from coming mouth to mouth with the Dragon.
"Yes, Astoria," Daphne said.
"Vega and Lucretia want your advice on what to do with Copperhead and her followers," Astoria said.
Daphne shook her head. She loved her sister, but she had some of the most abysmal timing possible.
"I'm more than fond of the slave collars," Astoria said. "I hope I have not offended you by taking my sister away from you, but this is an important matter that can't wait."
"Of course," Harry told her. "Take Daphne and get what you need."
Daphne's nerve had been lost along with the moment. Had Astoria been a few minutes later, she would have taken the plunge in more ways than one.
"Talia, Nyssa, you can come in," Harry said the moment the two Greengrass sisters left.
On the other side of the room, Nyssa and Talia stepped out of the shadows. A moment later, Sara came down the hallway and joined them.
"I'm guessing you were the victim of some pretty bad timing," Sara said.
"Maybe," Harry said.
"With all due respect, if she gets it right away, she won't be as loyal if she has to work hard for it," Talia said. "Nyssa waited her time and look where it got her."
A brief smile spread over Nyssa's face. She did not want to say she was the only one who waited long. Talia knew about the legends just as much as she did. Her loyalty to the Dragon was also very strong.
'And to think, he has brought us closer together, on a common ground,' Nyssa thought.
This very fact pleased Nyssa. Everything slowly came back together and soon a much better world would come to them.
"We have Ruve, and she's currently cooling her heels," Harry said.
"Might be very useful, if we can get her to talk," Sara offered, shrugging her shoulders in response.
"Oh, she'll talk," Talia said. "Give her enough time, and she'll talk."
Harry could tell from that look in Talia's eyes, she had a devious plan. He turned to Nyssa who responded with a shrug. Sara looked towards Harry and just leaned closer towards Harry.
'With a look like that, I'm glad we're on the same side,' Sara said.
Harry always knew a presence was around him. He looked towards Talia and agreed. It would be much better to have Nyssa and Talia as enemies, other than allies. Especially given it opened up the door for several other possibilities.
"So are you going to pay her a visit?" Sara asked.
"Let her wait," Harry said.
Anticipation bread character and Harry knew the more he made her wait, the more things would be easier to sway her to give him the information he wanted her to give.
'If she actually can be trained to be a loyal pet, that will be very useful,' Nyssa thought.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cold Fury.
Bitter cold air blew through the area around them. Liv held her head back. Even when wearing heavy tactical gear, she felt extremely cold. Holly's flippant comment about bundling up when heading to Russia was not lost on her. She had never entered these harsh conditions. She had been more than used to a life of privilege and one of comfort. Now, this comfort was something she lacked and the chills continued to blow down her spine.
'Well, at least the two hardened government agents aren't faring that much better,' Liv thought.
She took a few seconds to look around. One wrong move and everything could be coming down on them. She motioned herself to climb up the mountain. Holly stood ahead of her and Nym stood behind her. Nym had the ability to warm herself up using magic at least.
"No wonder people use this town as a prison," Nym said. "It's a place where people have their hopes go to die."
"Yes, I realize that," Holly said. "Just keep your head up. We're almost there."
Mentally, Holly cursed out the name of Amanda Waller for what she had been forced to do. It was important if this mystic item had been in the hands of a very dangerous man. If it wasn't, well he was still doing something very illegal. Several people went missing as well when they had been taken overseas.
Holly made her way to the top of the mountain. The rocks slickened underneath her feet when moving up from the mountain. Holly's eyes flashed forward towards the mountain. She turned around and grabbed the rope to yank Liv up to the mountain.
"Watch your step," Holly said. "It's pretty slick on your way up."
No sooner did these words come out of Holly's mouth, Liv's foot slipped a slight bit down the mountain. Holly snapped her hands forward to grab onto the rope and prevent her from falling several hundred thousand feet to an untimely demise.
"What did I just get through saying?" Holly asked.
Liv adjusted her footing. Her legs ached from the cold. Nym stepped onto the top of the mountain. They made their way out of the danger zone. On the top of the mountain rested a cave.
"Look," Nym said.
All of their eyes landed on the area leading into the temple. Nym swallowed a huge lump in her throat at the carvings on the wall. Holly did not look much better when she looked at them.
"It looks like some kind of marking," Liv said.
"Yes, I'm aware," Holly said. "Mystical runes which resemble a spider…and I'm sure if we venture further into the cave, we might find some kind of mystical spider totem in there."
"Please tell me we don't have to go in there and fight giant spiders again," Nym said.
Liv took a moment to raise an eyebrow. Her eyes snapped around and looked Nym right in the eyes. "What do you mean, again?"
Holly shook her head. The two of them were a bundle of nerves, and to be honest, after the last time she ran headlong with a spider totem, Holly was not too particularly thrilled either. She made her way into the cave. The crackling of embers elsewhere in the cave forced Holly to stop headlong. She craned her neck back to one side and then craned in forward.
"Please don't be a giant spider goddess again," Nym whispered.
Holly kept her head turning around. She almost got whiplash when she brought it back around in the corner. One thought came into her mind when she heard the crackling of the fire, low voices, and then footsteps start up and stop up again.
"We can only be so lucky," Holly said. "Someone is here, someone beat us to the cave…and someone is already looking for the medallion….well at least we know he doesn't have his hands on the medallion yet."
"Maybe he doesn't have his hands on the medallion, but he knows where it is," Nym said.
Liv did a full three hundred and sixty degree look around the cave. Nothing popped out from around the corner which put her at ease, a little bit. She then turned around when two men approached them. One of them held a flashlight and the other held something in his hand.
"A helicopter came in here a few hours ago, Kovar wants anyone snooping around to be taken care of," the leader of the man said in a gruff voice. "And I don't even have to tell you what it means when we take care of someone around here, do you?
"No, does it look like I was born yesterday?" the lead goon asked. "I'll just blow them away. Anyone who comes here, I'm game for it."
Liv took in a deep breath. She reached over and pulled out her bow to aim at the adversary. Nym put her hand up to block the attack as if tell her not to jump the gun. Liv grew increasingly flustered about the inability to be able to do anything.
Off out of the corner of her eye, Liv caught sight of Holly sliding her hand up to her side and pulling out a gun. A loud crack echoed from behind them and something started to move on the wall. The markings on the cave lit up around them and bathed them with light, light where the men roaming the cave would have to see.
'I really fucking hate magic sometimes,' Holly groaned.
One of the men turned around and Holly, as she always tended to do, shot first and maybe asked questions if she felt like it. The bullet connected to the man's chest and dropped him down to the ground. Another man reached behind him and hurled out a flash bang grenade which dropped down to the ground and caused smoke to fill the air around them.
"Liv, distraction!" Nym yelled.
Liv fired an arrow upwards and connected to send the rocks down. The three girls made their way into the cave. They turned around to see several more men standing at the side of the cave. They all pointed guns at the girls. Nym whipped her hand and caused the guns to backfire to take three of the men back.
"This isn't what I quite had in mind!" Holly yelled. "You know, we were supposed to go and find out information and not get into a firefight."
"You know what they say about the best-laid plans," Nym responded. "We need to find a way out of here and fast before we get captured, tortured, and….."
"Kovar knows we're here," Holly said. "We're not getting out of this alive."
"I can't believe I have to be the sane one here," Liv said.
She took careful aim and shot an arrow into the air. One of the men had been nailed with an arrow. He dropped to the ground and allowed Liv to run over him. Holly and Nym followed several feet behind the archer.
"Do you have any idea where we're going?" Holly said.
"If we have any kind of luck, a way out of this death trap," Liv said. "There's running water…..I don't know why there would be running water in the middle of a Russian winter. Wouldn't it all be frozen over or something?"
"I'll spare you the obvious answer," Nym said.
"We thank you," Holly said.
Holly pushed open the walls and they made their way into what appeared to be some kind of city or something. It was very hard to tell at this point when they got inside. Those rocks did not look like they would hold their weight for much longer.
"We go out the same we come in if we go that way," Nym said.
Dynamite blew up the wall and several men came out through the dust. The three women held their respective weapons to defend themselves. The leader of the crew stepped towards them with a very sadistic look dancing in his eyes. He enjoyed people who squirmed and could not defend themselves.
"End of the line for you," the leader said.
'Oh, Morgana, I'm going to have to leave this way,' Nym thought.
Nym rocked the ground underneath him. The rocks the men climbed onto started to crumble, and it caused them to retreat further into the tunnel.
"Good, you scared them away," Holly said. "Not good, we're going to die!"
Holly took in a deep breath and made a mental note that when they got out of this, she was going to kill Nymphadora Tonks. That seemed to be the one way to balance the scales. Nothing else would get balanced with the ground rocking around her. The three of them slid off of the rocks and they slid deep underneath the cave.
"I have no idea where we're heading," Nym said.
Nym's heart started to race. She would not have been able to teleport out. Hell, if it was that easy, they would not have gone into the Russian wilderness in the way they had. They slid down the jagged rock slides.
Holly dropped down to the ground first. Nym followed her, dropping down on the ground. Liv flipped down completely onto the other end of the ground. She pulled herself up and made a movement to join her companions.
Falling rocks shot down into the underground tunnels of the caves. They began to form a barrier to block any forward movement. Nym dropped down onto the ground.
"Liv!" Nym yelled. "If you can hear me, we're going to dig you out, okay?"
"You're not digging her out with magic," Holly said. "Trust me, that's caused enough problems….we're going to have to find another way around and hope she's in one piece."
Nym did not have it in her to protest to be perfectly honest. They were very lucky not to get crushed. Hopefully, they were just blocked and Liv did not get buried alive under several tons of broken rock. Nym pushed her ear piece in and tried to get it to work.
"And to add to the fun, we're cut off from ARGUS headquarters," Nym said. "The day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"
Harry stepped into the central room of the temple. His attempts to gain information from Bane were a no go. His brain had been temporarily damaged by the venom. Whether or not that damage would be repaired in time, Harry did not know. All he could do was take several deep breaths and calm himself down.
'You haven't talked to her yet?' Sara asked. 'Not that I mean to rush you, but I'm surprised you haven't talked to Ruve yet.'
Harry took a second to smile and stretch out. Talia told him this room had a certain aura to it which caused people to relax and Harry would have been lying if he was glad she was right. He was able to clear his head and most importantly, figure out what his next move was going to be.
'She's very attractive when she's not in raging bitch mode,' Sara thought. 'Can't believe a weasel like Damien Darhk would get someone like that.'
'Well, she pretty much all but stated it was a very political marriage,' Harry thought. 'There's a lot about HIVE which seems very political.'
Harry took a couple of deep breaths. He stripped off his shirt and pants already and wore nothing other than his undershorts. He sat with his legs crossed on the rocks leading out to a bubbling pool. Breath in, breath out, and remain calm, Harry figured out the game by now.
'That's for sure,' Sara agreed. 'It's your play though. You're the omniscient Dragon god.'
'Yeah, but you're the reincarnation of the White Canary goddess,' Harry said.
Sara could barely hide the smile. 'Until we find that medallion, that hasn't been proven. That could be a coincidence, and yes I'm aware you don't believe in them.'
'Good to see you know them,' Harry said. 'I'm inclined to leave Ruve stew in her own juices. I might give her to Nyssa and Talia to play with.'
Some amusement came through Sara's tone when she laughed over the bond link. It took a couple of moments for her to calm down and talk in a calm and rational manner.
'Well, I think both of them would enjoy that, maybe a bit too much,' Sara thought. 'You're going to let her stew in her own juices, just like you're going to let the lovely Ms. Greengrass and her companions stew in their own juices. And you can make women make a lot of juices.'
Harry just smiled. He could smell something in the air behind him. It was a sweet, citrus scent which came through the air. Harry turned around and came face to face with Anya who wore a short green dress. It came down to her ties and showed her juicy thighs. She did not wear any underwear when moving towards him.
"Hello, Harry," she said with a smile. "Are you enjoying your rest?"
"Yes," Harry said. "I always enjoyed resting."
Anya reached into a bag and pulled out a bottle of lotion. She squirted the lotion onto her hand.
"This relaxes you even more," Anya said. "Trust me, the oils cause your muscles to get loosened, relaxed…well, most of your muscles. Some of the lotions strengthen other muscles."
The redhead climbed behind him and leaned against him. Her hands, cupped in lotion, rubbed over the back of Harry's neck. She rubbed the lotion, feeling of Harry's chest. The toned muscles burned underneath her hands. Anya leaned in and kissed him on the back of the neck.
"Anya," Harry groaned.
"Don't worry, I'll make you feel really good."
Anya's light fingers caressed Harry's abdomen area. Her fingers caressed Harry through his shorts and pushed her fingers through the edge of the pants.
"You started without us?"
Vanessa made her way into the room. She dropped the red dress she wore down to the ground. The dark-haired beauty sauntered towards Harry naked as the day she had been created. Her soft looking olive complexion brought Harry's gaze towards her.
"You two are always so slow," Anya said.
Isabelle stepped into the room. The blonde stepped into the room and Harry's mind had been blown. Her perky breasts, round and supple stuck out, with juicy little nipples. Her stomach was completely toned without an ounce of fat on her abdomen. Her ass curved out wide and the moment she straddled Harry's lap, Harry reached behind to feel it. He also brushed his fingers down her soft, long legs. Beautiful when they squeezed his waist. Isabelle rocked her hips back onto him ever so slightly.
"Let us thank you," Isabelle said.
Harry grabbed the back of the gorgeous goddess's head and kissed her on the lips. Her tongue danced around the back the back of his throat. She rose up enough to allow her sisters to strip Harry's boxer shorts completely off.
Isabelle slid back and moved down to join her sisters, at the prize before them.
Twelve inches of handsome meat stuck up into the air. Anya looked at the meat eyes widened and lips moistened. The redhead sister's breathing increased. Nipples poked out to be caressed by the air in a very amazing way.
"Oh, I want that, so badly!"
Isabelle grabbed ahold of Anya's hair and forced Anya to turn around. Vanessa offered a smile but received a similar reprimanding look from her older sister.
"We must share him," Isabelle said.
"Ladies, there's more than enough to go around," Harry said.
Vanessa gave a shifty little grin in response. "Well, that's obvious."
One firm tug of Harry's shaft resulted in a very naughty smile on the face of Vanessa. She slowly gripped Harry at the base of his cock and increased the grip. A huge pop caused the already sizable organ to swell even more. Vanessa's tongue swirled around the tip of the head.
"My turn."
Anya moved in and planted a series of hungry kisses all along the length. She started back at the head and kissed all the way down to the base. When done, Anya slid down and wrapped her lips around Harry's right testicle. She sucked him hard, pleasure swimming through her eyes.
"Mmm," Anya breathed hungrily.
"Yes, indeed," Isabelle answered a second or so later. "I'm going to take this big, throbbing cock so deep in my mouth I'm going to choke on it."
Harry grabbed the silky blonde hair and Isabelle moved further towards Harry. Harry's hard prick stretched forward and had been surrounded by so much of that silky, warm mouth. Isabelle's lips moved down to caress. She pulled back and pushed down onto him. The beautiful blonde bobbed up and down.
Anya, Vanessa, and Isabelle did a three prong attack on Harry's manhood. Throbbing cock and balls received a full course pleasure. Vanessa sucked Harry's right ball and Anya sucked Harry's left ball. Isabelle's tongue slowly wrapped around the length and vibrated.
"Shit, that feels so good!" Harry groaned.
Harry pushed deep into Isabelle's mouth. The oldest of the three, the blonde, gave Harry a very amazing Parseltongue blowjob. She accelerated the pleasure spiking through Harry's body. Vanessa switched off and was a bit more greedy than Isabelle, who was slow and sensual.
Anya waited for the moment she could jump in very impatiently. Heat rose through the body of the woman, amazing given she was by nature cold blooded. Of course, magic caused many conventions of science to be thrown completely into question.
Isabelle's finger shoved deep inside Anya and made the girl snap up. The redhead bucked up hips first to feel the blonde moving around inside her pussy.
"Make sure to behave yourself," Isabelle said.
Harry grabbed the back of Vanessa's head. The girl took cock like a pro. Every inch pushed into the back of woman's throat when sucking Harry off. That vibrating tongue caused tingles to spread through Harry's loins, the deeper he pushed into Vanessa's waiting mouth. Her throat clenched Harry when pushing deep inside.
A good taste of throbbing cock made Vanessa very excited. Vanessa grabbed onto the back of the young man and pushed more cock inside. She sped up a little bit and slowed down when needed. Harry's hands guiding the middle sister's speed made things feel really good.
Suddenly, Vanessa pulled back. Anya nearly dove deep onto Harry's cock and grabbed him around the back. The very eager redhead went down onto Harry's cock.
"Damn, you must have really wanted this."
Those vibrant brown eyes looked up at Harry to show the man of their dreams, yes, she did want this very a very long time. Anya craved one thing above all else, and that was cock, or to be more specific, the cock of the Dragon. Aptly named in many ways, given how thick and juicy this phallus which her lips firmly wrapped around was. Harry grabbed the back of Anya's head and shoved more manhood down into her throat than Anya ever thought possible.
Anya took the cock deeper into her throat, hungrily sucking on Harry. Harry pushed more of this throbbing hard manhood deep into Anya's waiting throat. The warm throat clenched around Harry and released it.
"If you get it, you better share," Isabelle said.
Isabelle moved over to climb into a slinky embrace with Vanessa. The two of them locked lips with each other and their tongues danced together. Passion and hunger increased. Vanessa tried to beat Isabelle's tongue. The woman knew what turned the younger one on. Vanessa succumbed very quickly.
"You were born to suck cock," Harry told Anya. "My cock and I can't wait to have my slutty little snake choke on my cock."
Anya slurped Harry's manhood as hard as possible. The sultry redhead kept bringing Harry's length into the depths of her throat. The tightness around Harry's cock constricted.
"Shove your cock into the slut's mouth!" Vanessa screamed.
Anya could not really protest about being called a slut. The proof was at hand, and the cock was in her mouth. Really, nothing to argue. Harry's balls, bloating with cum slapped Anya in the face with a repeated momentum. Harry's fingers caressed the back of Anya's head.
"Just a little bit further, and I'll have you choking on my cum."
Isabelle buried face first down between Vanessa's tanned and toned thighs. Caressing, licking, sucking , a full court attack drove Vanessa to fits of pleasure. No matter how many times Isabelle went down on Vanessa, it always was like the first time. The blonde's oral talents showcased themselves as second to none.
"Fuck!" Vanessa yelled.
Sounds of flesh slapping against bone continued off to one side. Harry kept ramming his thick tool deep into the depths of Anya's throat. His nails dug into the back of the head of the succulent snake goddess. Anya took Harry deep into her gullet.
"Here it comes."
Anya opened wide to get a creamy surprise. The warm cum rushed out as a flood into her throat. Harry held on tight and slammed deeper into Anya's mouth. He slid back and down into him.
The constant barrage of thrusting emptied Harry's balls into Anya's overflowing mouth. He tugged on the red goddess's locks and jammed deep and fast to fill up Anya's mouth with more cum than many women could handle. Like a pro, Anya sucked up every last drop of cum shooting from Harry's cock and spilling deep down her throat.
"More than enough to go around."
Anya staggered over and Vanessa grabbed two hands full of red hair. Both of the sisters went into an extremely hot kiss with each other. Vanessa dug tongue first into Anya and got a hearty fill of warm cum. Anya closed her knuckles around Vanessa's dark locks to increase both of the sexy snake sisters exploring each other's mouths with their tongue.
Isabelle's pussy ached and needed Harry's cock very badly. The leader of the two allowed the sisters to indulge in each other. A bed appeared, and Isabelle smiled when looking towards Harry.
"They're having fun, it would be a shame to ruin that," she whispered in a very sultry tone of voice. "And I need to be filled. Badly, Harry. Very badly, do you think you could bring that big cock over here?"
Harry drank in the visual buffet of Isabelle when laid out on the bed. Nice blonde hair which gave an appearance of an angel lying in wait to be debauched. Firm, perky breasts with nipples standing up to be twisted and sucked also had been given, an amazing body without an inch of fat. A perfectly shaven pussy glistened in the light with very evident hints of arousal. Harry groaned when stepping closer towards Isabelle. Those legs spread nicely and made a suggestion of where Harry should be.
"Of course," Harry said. "I wanted to fuck your tight cunt since I laid eyes on it."
"Mmm, I'm sure you have, stud," Isabelle said in a sultry voice.
Harry climbed aboard and straddled Isabelle. It did not take that much for Harry's cock to harden and push against Isabelle's sweet slit. Isabelle rose up and Harry pushed one hand against the silky leg. They were very smooth, very nice. Harry rubbed down Isabelle's leg.
"Beg me to fuck you."
"Fuck me!" Isabelle hissed. Never had Parseltongue sounded so sexy. "I want you to take your big strong cock and fuck me until I'm cross-eyed."
Harry put his hands on either side and guided Isabelle's thighs apart. A heat seeking missile between Harry's legs found the target. He jammed several inches of thick cock inside the goddess. The warmth grabbed Harry when sliding inside.
"So tight!" Harry yelled.
Isabelle squeezed Harry tight like a serpent. Her thighs clamped down around Harry and released him. Harry kept with momentum and rocked Isabelle. Slow and steady at first, with Harry planting several inches of thick hard cock inside the warmth. Harry pulled almost all the way out and shoved deep inside of Isabelle. Those balls snapped down onto Isabelle and filled her up.
On the other end of the room, Vanessa straddled Anya's face. Nibbling frantically, Anya had been seduced in making her sister's day. Vanessa ground her pussy.
"You better make me ready for my master," Vanessa breathed. "Lick my pussy out. Does my slutty little sister like using her tongue? I know you do because you like how I taste."
Anya grabbed onto Vanessa's thick ass and shoved more tongue into the olive-skinned beauty. Those hips rocked firmly onto Anya and gave more of a chance for her to eat out Vanessa.
Harry grabbed Isabelle's thighs and shoved deep inside. Isabelle squeezed Harry in response. Every bit of energy filled her up, with hunger. Isabelle scrapped her nails off of Harry's arm and encouraged him to keep with it. She came one more time and moaned softly.
"Nymphomaniac snake, that's a first," Harry said.
"Kara made us…to serve," Isabelle breathed when squeezing Harry.
Evident, how the sisters had been trained to give pleasure to their master. Each orgasm spreading through Isabelle's body made Harry drive his cock further into her. Each time, Harry kept up with the beautiful blonde beneath him. Those nails raked Harry's back, the scratches healing over. Harry returned fire by feeling up Isabelle's perfectly long legs and the warmth spreading through his cock with her pussy rising and falling with several drops.
"Yes," Isabelle breathed in Harry's ear. "Yes, right here."
Isabelle put those hands on Harry's lower back and pushed deep inside of her pussy. She hung on for a very long time. Each thrust brought the oldest of the sisters further to pleasure. Warm walls caressed Harry. The powerful sorcerer bottomed out in Isabelle's tight body.
Everywhere Harry touched, soft skin greeted him. Those nipples looked so suckable as well and Harry sucked them when pushing deep into Isabelle's tight chamber. The last round made Harry's balls tense up.
"Cum for me, please," Isabelle said. "We know there's plenty to go around!"
Harry pushed deep inside of Isabelle. Warm walls tightened hard around Harry the further he pulled out and pushed back into the beautiful blonde. Isabelle tightened around Harry's shoulder and moaned hungrily. Isabelle's fingers came further down to rake Harry's back.
"More, please, more!" Isabelle begged him.
Everything broke, and Harry sent cum deep inside Isabelle's warm and waiting body. The tightening of Isabelle's inner pussy walls clamped down on Harry. Several drops of cum blasted inside of the tight and waiting chambers. Harry held onto Isabelle's leg and pushed down as far as possible. Isabelle moaned when grabbing down onto Harry's cock and sucking all of the cum in.
No sooner did Harry pull out, Vanessa smiled, and crawled over. The sultry brunette turned around, firm rear, and wet pussy presented towards Harry.
"Smell that," Vanessa hissed. "It smells good, doesn't it? It's going to be so tight. I bet your cock will fit so nicely in there."
Harry moved over and ran over Vanessa to indulge himself into the body of the middle sister. Each curve rolled underneath Harry's very eager hands. The journey stopped to the swell of Vanessa's plump ass and slowly, Harry further fondled Vanessa's ass. The perfect round bum fit into Harry's hands.
"I need your cock!" she breathed.
"Don't worry, you'll have everything you ever wanted," Harry said. "You'll have everything you ever wanted and so much more."
Harry lined up alongside Vanessa's wet pussy. Those lips parted and sucked in Harry with one fell swoop. Only a couple of minutes later, and Harry adjusted the warmth spreading around his cock. Harry lightly rocked deeper inside of Vanessa and pulled almost all the way out.
"Oh, smack those thick balls against me!" Vanessa moaned.
Anya crawled over and moved over towards Isabelle. The woman's thighs spread apart with cum draining down. Anya reached in and cupped Isabelle's warm pussy to feel the trickling of cum. A naughty little grin flashed on Anya's face.
"Oh, you slut!" Isabelle yelled.
Anya drove a vibrating tongue inside of Isabelle's pussy. The eager girl parted Isabelle's lips and drank the mixture of juices presented for consumption. Isabelle eagerly responded despite the reprimand. Fingers pushed against Isabelle's clit and forced Isabelle to rock further up.
"Mmm , your pussy tastes so good!"
Harry rode Vanessa's tight cunt from behind. Each time a pair of thick cum loaded balls slapped against Vanessa's wet pussy, Harry pulled almost completely out, and then speared inside Vanessa. Vanessa spread her thighs apart and Harry pushed inside with a few more pumps.
"Harry, harder, my lord, harder!" Vanessa chanted.
Not one to let a lady down, Harry really let Vanessa have it. The brunette sister's ass bounced when Harry rammed in from behind. Harry gripped the nice round rear and pushed deep inside of the goddess. Vanessa clenched down onto Harry and released the throbbing manhood from her tight pussy. Harry pulled out and pushed back in again.
"Cum."
The order had been given in Parseltongue, and Vanessa's loins vibrated in response. Every inch of her body enslaved towards Harry's will. Harry pushed deep into the goddess with a few hard thrusts. Harry slapped Vanessa on the ass firmly when slamming deep inside and then pulled all the way out. Harry pumped deeper inside of Vanessa with constant thrusts.
"I'm going to make you mine," Harry whispered in Vanessa's ear. "I bet you'd like that, to be nothing but one of my snake sluts."
"Mmm, I love it when you control my body," Vanessa said. "And I love it when you make me cum, and I know it's only because of you I am."
"Well, you're going to love me a whole lot."
Explosive orgasms rocked Vanessa's body every second Harry entered her. The brunette's pussy grew tighter and Harry slapped Vanessa's ass a few more times. The beautiful woman pressed onto the bed, dripping completely in sweat. Harry cupped Vanessa's ass hard from behind and spanked the woman, to become rewarded with sensual moans. Harry picked up an extensive pace.
Each thrust rewarded Vanessa with more pleasure. Harry pulled out and rammed deep inside of Vanessa. Her elastic pussy stretched and released Harry. Harry pushed deep inside.
"It's going to be my turn soon."
Anticipation made Vanessa only tingle with greater excitement. Harry's fingers touched Vanessa's overly sensitive nipples and sent jolts of magic. The goddess grabbed Harry and pulled him deep inside of her. The feeling of Harry's cum buried inside, it got her motor running.
"Oh, yessss!" Vanessa screamed.
Harry bottomed out inside of Vanessa and stretched the goddess from behind. The tingling inside of Harry's balls increased and with one more solid thrust, Harry's cum splattered inside of Vanessa's waiting pussy. Harry pumped an immense load inside of the woman, burying every single last drop of seed into the woman until empty.
A wicked smile spread over Vanessa's face when Harry finished up inside of the goddess. A few more thrusts brought an extreme amount of cum from Harry's balls.
The exact moment Harry finished unloading, Anya threw herself down onto Harry's lap. The feisty redhead ground onto Harry's pole.
"I've waited a thousand years for this again," Anya said. "I'm not waiting a fucking second longer."
Harry's cock hardened at the eager woman squirming against him, kissing the side of Harry's face. Harry's hard cock rose and trapped between both of their bodies. Anya lifted completely up.
Both of her sisters had been spent, for now, and that left her with time to ride the Dragon. Anya's wet pussy slid down onto Harry and engulfed him inside with one fluid drop.
"That's what I've been waiting for."
"Ride it like your life depended on it," Harry ordered.
Anya pushed deep down onto Harry and brought his cock inside. The snug tightness of the goddess surrounded the thick tool. Anya's eyes flooded over and she responded with a soft moan.
"Oh, damn, you're so big," Anya said.
"Little girl can't handle it?"
Anya shook her head.
"Your sisters took it perfectly."
This little comment sparked Anya to slide Harry's cock inside of her tight cunt.
"Oh, stud, your cock fills me up so nice," Anya said. "Any woman would give her right arm to have one night with this big cock inside of her."
"Can't your arms grow back?" Harry asked.
Anya shook her head. "Details."
Harry pushed Anya deep onto him. The pleading look in the eyes of the naughty nympho only sparked Harry further along. Harry rammed deep inside of Anya's tight chambers. Anya rose up and dropped down onto Harry as hard as possible. His manhood filled up the beautiful woman's warm pussy.
"Yes, details," Harry informed her. "You need to be very clear on the details. And you can be very clear I'm going to fuck you until it's very hard for your to stand."
Anya's breath came out in a very solid hiss. Harry pushed inside in places she did not know could stretch for that big cock.
A very pleased looking Isabelle and Vanessa crawled towards each other in the center of the bed. Vanessa reached in and grabbed Isabelle's ass and squeezed it.
"She's having fun, let's not interrupt, for now," Vanessa said.
"We can have more than enough fun together."
Both sisters met in the center, grabbing and feeling up each other's bodies. Isabelle showed her dominance by rolling Vanessa over onto the bed and parted her thighs together. Isabelle's wet pussy stretched out for Vanessa's fingers. Vanessa rocked up a few inches to enjoy her sister's pleasure intrigue.
Anya panted hungrily and shoved Harry's thick tool inside, going deeper, and bottoming out on Harry. Harry pushed inside of Anya.
"Fuck me, fuck me hard!" Anya yelled at the top her lungs, grinding down on Harry's shoulder.
The first of many orgasms set off a chain reaction. Anya screamed in a way where anyone, most certainly the people in the next room could hear.
"You're just a dirty little girl, who can't get enough of my cock inside of you, can you?" Harry asked. "I'm going to make you beg for everything I can give you. You're not going to walk out of here until I'm done fucking your tight hole…maybe more than one."
Harry showed to be a man who lived up to his words. Anya stretched hungrily and hotly, feeling Harry pushing deep inside. Harry's thick balls slapped against Anya's wet pussy. Anya tightened the grip around Harry and grabbed down.
"Mmm, batter my tight pussy with this nice, big, throbbing cock," Anya moaned in Harry's ear. "I want to feel you cum inside me."
Anya's wet pussy clamped down onto Harry. She wanted this cum so badly. Harry was not about to give it up for a fight.
"I need you to cum!" Anya yelled. "I need it so badly. I need it inside of my nice, pussy, filling me up. Please, give it to me, my King!"
Harry pushed deeper inside of Anya's warm pussy and allowed the feisty redhead to keep driving herself down on Harry's throbbing hard cock. Anya's nails grabbed Harry hard and pushed down hard. Harry grabbed her ass and waited for the rise and the fall.
"Fuck, this is so good," Anya mewled.
Anya's fingers grabbed Harry's shoulder and hung on.
Every action resulted in an equally pleasurable reaction. Harry buried deep inside of Anya and filled her up with so much cock. Each orgasm made her wet pussy just grab onto Harry even harder. Harry pushed deep inside. The sounds of flesh smacking together echoed throughout the chamber.
Harry played with Anya's nipples and really got the youngest sister screaming. Anya rode Harry's cock with all of the precision and force of someone who had gone through an immense sexual draught, and she did say, it had been a thousand years.
To Anya, it felt like ten thousand years. Harry scratched very last sexual desire into nymphomaniac goddess driving down onto Harry's large and prominent cock.
Both parties saw white, first Anya's orgasm rocked every fiber. Harry gave her death by a million orgasms and they never felt so good. Harry pumped his way into Anya's wet chambers.
Harry felt a tightening feeling spread through his balls and pushed deep inside of Anya. Several blasts of warm cum began to fire in an excessive manner and fill Anya's moist pussy up with a flood of cum. Anya tightened up and made sure to drain Harry of every single last drop.
"Oh, it feels like you could cum for days with the right….rituals," Anya breathed.
The redhead collapsed, drained from the coupling. Two more sisters were ready to pick up the slack, and the fun was going to continue.
Hours it went on, just in the room outside of her cell. Ruve tried to block out the thoughts. She had been visited with thoughts in her head about the Dragon taking her in every angle, in every single hole. Ruve's hands had been cuffed behind her back, preventing her from pleasure.
"See what you get if you prove yourself loyal?" Nyssa asked.
Ruve closed her eyes. She tried to block everything out of her mind.
"You can't do this to me, HIVE will come," Ruve said.
"We await the challenge, "Nyssa answered a few moments later. "Just like how long will it take before a powerful and proud woman was broken, just like that."
Nyssa snapped her fingers. She smiled, the magic in the cell both amplified the sounds from the next chapter, and also the pheromones Harry pumped in when he was active.
Mia agreed to do so support work at ARGUS, mostly so she could get access to some of the files. She still hoped to find her mother and sister. If her mother did steal one of the medallions, then HIVE would hunt them down to the end of the Earth. She chewed down on her mouth and took a deep breath.
"Checkpoint?" Mia asked.
Radio silence from the trio of Nym, Liv, and Holly, nothing really out of the ordinary for a mission like this, at least Mia thought. She double checked to make sure all of their signals were in play.
'Damn,' Mia thought to herself.
All of the oxygen came out of her in a deep breath. Mia moved to recalibrate everything. No dice, there was no dice for her locating any information. She tried not to panic, even though there were plenty of reasons why she should be panicking.
"Holly, Liv, Nym, anyone?" Mia asked. "Agent Granger, Agent Tonks, Cadet Queen….are any of you out there?"
A backfire echoed through the headset. Mia tapped on the headset for a few seconds and frowned deeper. She moved out to see if she got a connection.
She moved off to catch Rose out of the corner of her eye pounding away at a heavy bag. The woman smacked the bag with each punch. She stopped the very second she caught sight of Mia walking out of the room.
"What now?" Rose asked.
It took Mia a few seconds to realize Rose had talked to her. Mia drew in a deep breath in response and turned her attention back to Rose.
"It's Holly, and the others," Mia said.
Rose felt a slight headache come on and it wasn't because of Mia's frantic voice either. She saw an image of a rock slide and three figures coming down onto it. The vision grew more prolific and suddenly, two of the figures dropped down onto the ground. The image of Holly Granger and Nymphadora Tonks appeared in her head. On the other side, Olivia Queens stood.
Olivia ran and the rocks slid. She had to move back until the sliding rocks separated Liv from the rest of the crew. She groaned in a very audible manner from the other end of the tunnel.
"ROSE!"
Rose snapped out and was back into the real world. She had to prevent herself from lashing out and attacking Mia when she grabbed onto Rose's shoulder. Several deep breaths came through the woman's body. She heaved out one heaving sigh and then heaved out one more sigh.
Mia looked nervous. Rose didn't quite have the same murderous look she had on her face the last two times she lost all sense of herself.
"Are you…okay?" Mia asked.
"I've had worse," Rose responded. "I saw something."
Mia's own curiosity got the better of her. She leaned closer towards Rose and urgently grabbed her shoulder and caused the two of them to come eye to eye with each other.
"What did you see?" Mia asked.
Rose drew in her deep breath and leaned forward towards her.
"It was a cave and a rockslide in the cave. Liv, Nym, and Holly fell down into the cave, and the rocks….no one died. Liv got separated from the rest of the group."
"Did you see what cave it was?" Mia asked. "Is it something happening now, or something that's yet to happen?"
Rose shrugged off Mia's words and took in a very deep breath.
"I really don't know," Rose said. "It's just a big mess. I don't even know if it's real or not."
Mia thought about it. Was Rose seeing something that was really there or was it just a fabrication? Mia had an idea it had something to do with the serum. Her studies of the Mirikuru gave a couple of unsubstantiated accounts of people developing psychic abilities. Precognition would not be out of the realm of possibility.
"I have a way to find Nym because she slept with Harry."
Rose held out the watch she wore and pressed a few buttons on it. The advanced runic work on the watch impressed Mia.
"Are you sure you can find them?" Mia asked.
"I can find Nym and Holly at least if they're still together," Rose responded. "Liv's going to be a problem if they're separated."
The coordinates flashed up on a three-dimensional holographic projection screen. Mia bit down on her lip and took in a surprised breath before she turned back towards Rose.
"That's in the middle of nowhere?"
Mia reached over and tried to type in the coordinates. A flash of light appeared. It was a secured channel, and she couldn't get any more information.
"I know where it is," Rose said.
Mia stopped looking. "You do?"
"It's around an area of a supposed safe house for Western exiles," Rose said. "It's really a prison. The last place people go before their hope dies."
"I see," Mia responded a half of a second later. "Are you….are you sure you're able to go there? I mean, in your condition, you should maybe wait for Harry to get back, or maybe contact some other ARGUS agents? I'm not sure if you're supposed to leave, you know."
The stream of consciousness thoughts Mia belt out was done without taking a breath. Rose didn't say anything. She remembered one of the few things her father told her which made sense. It was always easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
"You realize this watch isn't just for decoration?"
Mia understood. She thought about going with Rose, but realized, she was useless in a fight.
"At least take this," Mia said.
She handed Rose an advanced weapon and a set of armor. Rose looked at it for a few seconds. She figured it might help her survive whatever was out there.
"They were after a man named Kovar," Mia said.
She was already in a lot of trouble letting Rose leave. She might as well have told her everything she needed to know before heading out.
"I know who Kovar is."
Harry stepped into a shining room. He pleasured all three of the sisters, the heralds of the temple. They, in turn, provided Harry with a fair amount of pleasure himself. It was a mutually beneficial agreement. He also made his captive prisoner get a good taste of what she might receive if she pledged her undisputed loyalty.
Still some questions of her loyalty, so Harry did not want to reward someone who was indecisive. He smiled and stepped into the room. Isabelle sauntered behind him, with Anya and Vanessa taking up the rear.
"You are our best hope for finding her, and liberating us from this temple," Isabelle said.
Isabelle leaned closer towards Harry and gave him one more kiss. She could not help and get a piece of him. Anya and Vanessa folded their arms and stuck out their lips with a pout on their faces. Isabelle smiled and looked at her sisters.
"Our best hope," Isabelle said. "We've been secured, but the future of our tribe is strained at best without our Queen."
Isabelle squeezed Harry's hand. She moved over and motioned for her sister's to join her.
"Bane would not have gotten close to lifted our Queen's medallion," Isabelle said. "It needs the three of us."
The three sisters placed their hands on the pedestal. They hissed one word.
"Kara."
The flash of light bathed the temple. The temple never looked even more beautiful. The medallion rose up. It resembled Harry's, only it depicted a Basilisk on the front instead of a Dragon. A green "S" flashed on the back of it. Isabelle snapped the medallion into her hand.
"It's in your hands, great one," Isabelle said. "We hope you have the best of luck to find our Queen."
"Yes, only you can find her and bring her back home," Anya said.
Daphne, Astoria, Lucretia, Vega, and Vera stepped into the midst of the temple. Lucretia and Vega both opened their mouths to say something, but Daphne beat them to the punch.
"So, you have it?" Daphne asked. "Will you find her?"
"I will hunt the ends of the universe for her," Harry said.
"Be careful with that proclamation," Daphne said. She wore half of a smile and half a serious expression on her face."She may have been reincarnated on a planet in the far reaches of space."
Vega popped in with some words of her own. "We know you will succeed in locating her. And we will return to the greatness which has been lost through greed over the years."
Harry only received some hints of the greed, Copperhead, and her followers were far from the only ones who experienced greed. Power enticed many people who tried to grab ahold of just a little more powerful to increase their greed as time went on.
'We're going to have to deal with them soon enough,' Harry thought.
"With time we will make sure that lack of loyalty and corruption is eliminated," Lucretia said. "Unfortunately, there have been many external factors which have prevented us from achieving our goals. Once our Queen has been reborn we will achieve these goals and will return our tribe to great power and prominence."
Harry hoped those words proved to be true. Turning around, Talia came right around the corner. Ruve had been kept on a very short chain, figuratively and literally when Talia escorted the HIVE woman out. Sara and Nyssa followed straight behind. Ruve looked rather resigned to the fate which presented the woman. Either that or Harry figured the crafty woman planned an escape. Either possibility appeared to be more than likely.
"We both know you have information," Talia said.
"Yes, I do," Ruve said. "If you're searching for another Medallion, the secrets of which can be located in Russia. I will happily tell you everything I know. I only wish to serve the true future leaders of the world."
Harry's intrigue increased, and Sara tried very hard to keep from smiling.
'Your little performance has left an impression on Ruve,' Sara thought.
'Little is nothing to do with it,' Nyssa chimed in.
Harry spent a second pondering Ruve's suggestion. The HIVE representative wanted something, perhaps more power. Harry looked to be the best means of achieving power now. He would play the game, at least for now. The moment Ruve slipped u, Harry would have something tangible to nail her with and not in a good way either.
"Color me intrigued," Harry said. "You say it's in Russia?"
"Yes," Ruve said. "A man named Kovar has control of the medallion."
One could see an eye twitch in Talia. Nyssa turned for any kind of explanation. No explanation was forthcoming now. Talia just remained as stoic and calm as humanly possible in this situation.
"There is also the matter of HIVE's supreme leader. He will be more ruthless than Damien could ever hope to be."
"Who is HIVE's supreme leader?" Harry asked.
Ruve hesitated. Harry saw fear about revealing this man, and also fear about failing to reveal him. Talia pulled on the leash and Ruve dropped to her knees.
"Your master asked you're a question," Talia said.
Ruve took in a deep breath. "None of us know his name. He's referred to as the White Bumblebee by many."
Harry frowned at Ruve's declaration of the man's codename. One thought entered Harry's mind. A thought which had to be promptly squashed for the sake of his sanity.
'No, surely not,' Harry thought, frowning deeply.
It was always possible, at least Harry figured. Two sets of eyes looked at him, three actually come to think about it. Harry turned towards the other members of the Faithful Five and the Heralds. All eight women looked prime to drop to a kneeling position and worship Harry when given a second's notice.
"I will return once I've secured the other medallions," Harry said. "And I have not forgotten your Queen."
"We know you won't," Isabelle said. "Do be careful. There are dark forces who wish to acquire the medallion along with light forces."
Harry only could take Isabelle's warning seriously. The problem was the difference between the darkness and the light only happened to be political perspective at the top. A serious folly existed when trying to pin something as completely dark or completely light, as there were all kinds of qualifiers to deal with.
"We wish you well," Daphne said. "Do have a safe journey."
"Don't worry, I will return, and get to know you under less pressing circumstances," Harry responded.
Olivia Queen gagged on the dust filling the air. Party girl, completely air-headed at times, well most of the time anyway, Liv had not been used to conflict. And the heiress most certainly could not grow used to getting trapped in the midst of the Russian wilderness in the middle of the winter time even though she figured it was time to get used to such a thing.
'Damn, this could have been worse.'
Liv took a moment to gauge the surroundings. A light flashed, dare there be any hope that there was some amount of salvation around the corner? Liv stepped forward and looked from the right to the left. The woman's eyes looked forward.
It was a tunnel, leading to a small slope. Liv thought trying to climb up a water slide was hallowing. No running water to deal with here, and no people trying to get her wet either. Not wet in a good way, just frigid wet anyway. Liv grabbed onto the edge of the slide and pulled up to a certain position.
'Deep breaths, remember your training.'
Training, more like a crash course, but why pick nits over something like this? Liv staggered up the sliding rocks. One of the rocks clicked out of place.
A voice could be heard from above. Liv took a second to wonder if it was a good thing or a bad thing. She had two choices. Either move to the sound of the voice or stay in the cave where she would languish forever. No real choice, Liv had to walk into the cave.
Liv closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She found at the end of a slope a door. A secret passageway. Liv pushed her fingernails underneath the door and dug in. The door refused to budge at first.
The door opened and Olivia Queen climbed in. Boxes rested on every corner of the ground. She had to slump down onto one of them to catch her breath.
The door opened up and a figure appeared at the top of the steps.
"How did you get in here?"
