Twisted Destiny

Saporia

There were cloaked figures in the room, and they had the King and Queen bound. Varian pulled off his bag as he ran over, then he pulled out a blue ball and threw it. The people yelped as they were engulfed in a blue smoke and then they were caught in bubbles. Rapunzel untied her hair and used it to wrap around one of the bubbles with her parents, while Eugene followed the movement of the other.

"Eugene, get ready to catch!" Varian pulled out a slingshot from his bag and used it to send another ball at one of the four bubbles. The one holding Arianna was struck and Eugene gasped and scrambled to catch her, falling on his butt with the Queen safe in his arms.

Rapunzel pulled the bubble with her father in it down and Varian shot down the other bubbles before throwing pink balls at the falling attackers. They were bound in goo the moment they hit the floor.

"What's going on in here?!" Stan yelled as he and Pete ran in and found the King in a bubble with Rapunzel's hair wrapped around it, the Queen in Eugene's arms, and suspicious-looking people bound in goo on the floor. Varian walked over and used an alchemy ball on the bubble around the King, then stepped back as Rapunzel helped him safely land.

"Really, uh...what happened in here?" Pete asked.

Rapunzel let go of her father and then started to tie her hair back up. "Just some people trying to take advantage of our meeting."

Varian walked over to Queen Arianna. "Are you alright, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, Varian. Thank you." Queen Arianna nodded.

"We need to get these windows repaired and find out who these people are." Rapunzel said, walking over to look at the masked strangers.

The others came over to join her as she took off the masks with a frown. "I...have no idea who these people are."

"I do." Varian reached down and grabbed a gold chain, pulling a golden locket out of one of their shirts. "They're Saporian. Probably here to find out what happened to Andrew and the others, they most likely think they're dead, or being held captive."

"Aren't they?!" One of them spat.

"No, they're not." Varian sighed. "With your permission, Your Majesty, I would like to take them to Old Corona."

King Frederic looked like wanted to argue it but sighed. "Fine. But, they are your responsibility."

"Aren't they all?" Varian asked dryly as he used an alchemy ball to free them from the goo. "Come on, I'll take you to your leaders."

"We'll go with." Rapunzel walked over to them. "I'm sure you didn't really mean any harm. I'm Princess Rapunzel of Corona. Who are you?"

One of them, a red-haired woman, stood up and brushed her hair back. "General Jenna, of Saporia. This is Jared." She nodded to the guy with her.

"Yes, yes, let's get on with this. Where is 'Old Corona'?" The man asked impatiently.

"It's okay, they'll handle it from here." Queen Arianna assured the guards as Rapunzel, Eugene and Varian led them out of the building.

"Varian," Rapunzel said as they got onto their horses, their new "visitors" getting on between Eugene and Varian, "there's...something you should know about my dad."

"Yeah?" He asked as they set off.

"When my dad says that he'll 'take something under advisement'..." Rapunzel started, unsure how to put it.

"What he really means is that he wants you to shut up and go away. He did it to me, too." Eugene finished for her. "He...never intended to send anyone."
