Destined Couple

Battle

The door was shut and locked on them and King Frederic glanced at them guiltily. Varian moved closer to his father.

"Don't be a hero, pretty boy." One of the thugs told Eugene when he started to move forward.

There was only silence after that, and then Rapunzel said "Sorry, dad," as she reached up to her coiffure and kicked off her shoes. "I can't stay put."

Underneath her coiffure, her hair was blonde. It fell around her, long, blonde and beautiful as she flipped it out of the bunch it'd been stuffed into. Varian brought a hand to his chest, his heart fluttering inside in awe and adoration. There was his Sundrop.

"Rapunzel!" King Frederic said in disbelief and horror.

She walked forward and Eugene smiled proudly. "That's my girl."

Not for much longer, if Varian had any say in the matter.

"Let them go!" Rapunzel declared, walking towards the cart with her hair trailing behind her.

Lady Caine chuckled. "It's amazing what you can hide under those wigs, isn't it, Princess?" She walked over and climbed onto the cart. "Come on! Let's move out!"

Rapunzel grabbed her hair and swung it forward, latching it onto the door's handle and ripping the door off its hinges. Varian couldn't help it, he was impressed. The cart stopped and Lady Caine got down from the cart. "Now, you're just making me angry."

"Good." Rapunzel said, preparing her hair for another strike. "'Cause I'm just getting started."

They all started to leave the cart at Frederic's prompting. Lady Caine scowled. "Get those people back here, now!"

"Rapunzel! Your hair!" King Frederic cried in disbelief.

"I know, we'll talk about it later." Rapunzel promised. "Please, get somewhere safe and take care of Mom."

"Rapunzel!" King Frederic cried as she ran off to fight.

"Now, can we?" Varian asked as the battle begin and people were either running or distracted.

"Yes." Quirin nodded

Varian reached behind him and focused, summoning a black rock behind him and pulling out two swords and a spear. He handed them the swords and grabbed the spear before the three of them ran to join the battle, the rock sinking back into the ground like it was never there.

A couple thugs cornered some nobles. Rapunzel stole one of their weapons with her hair, distracting him, and Varian ran over and swung his spear, knocking him over, and slammed the blunt part into his chest to knock him out before he used the spear to swing himself up and slam his feet into the other one, knocking him out.

"Nice!" Rapunzel praised and he smiled shyly before moving on to fight someone else.

His father and Adira had their own opponents and didn't need any help. The woman in blue seemed to be managing herself with a candlestick and Eugene was doing okay, too. He decided to get the halberd blocking the door and kicked it out of place, quickly moving out of the way as guards and a white horse came in to join the fight.

After that, it was done pretty quickly. Rapunzel herself took down thug after thug and she was magnificent to watch fight. She wielded her hair with practiced ease, as if the six months of having short hair were nothing. At one point a thug grabbed her hair and Varian ran over and slammed the handle of his spear against the guy's back, making him let go, before he knocked him out. Rapunzel smiled gratefully and then moved on to keep fighting.
