You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman
They had arrived at Earth and had orbited for awhile before Empress had selected her targets. It had taken some time. She didn't want just ANYONE. They had to be among the best. She WOULD win the gladiatorial games this time. NOTHING would stop her. Not even a small thing like gender.

Empress didn't care if it was cheating. The only thing that mattered was winning and she would win this time.

The teleporters were activated and the selected targets were beamed directly to the lab. There they underwent a little transformation and were given attitude readjustments and then put into a holding cell.

The men would wake up in the holding cell to find a few changes.

	Battle of Champions ng_independent 2010-03-28 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Ten minutes later the Empress and her warriors were assembled on one side of the arena. All the "girls" flanked her and stood ready for the battle they were about to watch. The female Avengers and guests were assembled on the other side of the arena. "CHAMPION! Go forth and do battle in MY name! Win THIS battle for your Empress!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin prepared herself for what she had to do. She didn't like the idea and she didn't want to do it, but it was the only way to assure victory. She did however take a moment to look at her brother. Of all the things she knew about Halbjorn, one of them was that he did not make an attractive female. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent's stomach churns at the sight of Valeria, trying to discretely turn her head to hide the recent scarring. Why did her presence unnerve her so? Her only concern should be glory for the Empress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha followed the tried and true family default action when waiting for something to happen that she didn't like, after a defeat that still tasted bitter to her. She reverted to Wolverine glaring at the girls. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin is absolutely right, Halbjorn is not an attractive female in the least. But she is the Empress' champion. She snarls, stepping forth to the ring to take on whoever the others might put forth, and begins pacing back and forth along her edge like a caged animal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin stepped forward to face her brother. She sheathed her sword, an obvious sign that something was not right, and pulled herself up straight. She waited for her brother to approach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I canna get over the scent," Moira mutters. "Halbjorn and Misha, especially, should never smell like that." Moira stares, slowly guessing at what Svalin may be thinking. "Och, that's going to hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn's outfit is pretty torn up, and she has electrical and fire scars still from the fight with Vincent. Her eye is still scarred shut, and she hasn't had time to come down from letting the madness sweep over her. Se rushes at Svalin, the Empress' power only holding her at bay until she had a target.

	Re: Battle of Champions shield_maiden 2010-03-29 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"BROTHER!" Svalin's voice boomed in the arena. She could tell he was under the madness. This would be a little more difficult than she thought. She waited until the last second to side step the rush. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Battle of Champions stone_bear 2010-03-29 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Well under its influence. The Empress has asked for someone to fight for her - and Halbjorn has always virtually lived to fight. She rushes past Svalin's skillful sidestep, crashing into, then through the wall, tearing through whatever ultra-dense metal the vessels walls are made of, tearing free of the shreds of it to turn back towards Svalin.

Svalin wasn't going to fight him. Doing that would only encourage the Bear Sark. She turned to face him. Even she wasn't going to turn her back on him in this state.

"Halbjorn Thorsson!" she yelled to him. "Son of Thor and Einmyria, Bear of Asgard! Kneel and sumbit to Svalin Thorsdottir, daughter of Thor and Princess of Asgard! Submit to mine will!"

Now she hoped that blood and duty was stronger than the Bear Sark and stronger than whatever the Empress did to him.

There's an inhuman howl from the Bear-sark, but she doesn't charge. She does lumber forward, by all appearances, reading herself to tear the unarmed warrior apart, all while another war happens in her brain.

She lives to fight - but that life is rooted in tradition and loyalty. Being an Asgardian is, first and foremost, all about sacrifice. Living, fighting and dying for something greater. And in her mind, Svalin has always been Asgard, in a very real way.

She'll fight for the Empress. Really, she was one of the easiest to cajole into this. She'd have gladly fought the Champion to fight the Champion. But not against Asgard.

The control snaps, the bear-sark with it, and the wounded, scarred and exhausted Halbjorn Thorsdottir kneels before her sister.

"Aye Princess, mine life is thine. For Asgard."

	There was a bad taste in her mouth. She hated this and hated doing this to him, but it was the only way. "For Asgard," she said gently with a small smile. "Rise, brother," she said and offed a hand to help him up. She knew he was not good shape. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
