Emerald Goddess triumphs

"Yes, you are!" said Lauren with a smirk.

She'd had enough. It was time to end this charade. Especially since her last article of clothing was her belt -- the source of all her powers. And her mask. Though nobody would recognise her unmasked, she still couldn't allow it in public. It would be too suspicious if she didn't react to being unmasked. That mask was supposed to protect her real identity. Her body tranformation was a secret to all. Let them think the Emerald Goddess was a tall, busty woman in civil as well.

As Queen Scorpion prepared for another swing, Lauren focused her eyes on the Queen's posture. She was not as fast as her, but she was still faster than regular humans. If she focused hard enough, she could hasten her reflexes. She had beaten her once before. And from her previous movements, she could easily predict where and how she would attack. That hand holding the knife was her target. And she would either go for her mask or her belt.

Queen Scorpion saw the newfound determination on Emerald Goddess' face. Was she planning to stop her this time? She had effortlessly stripped the woman with her previous attacks. She was pretty confident in her speed. There was nothing the Goddess could do. She was just one ugly belt away from being completely naked. Hopefully that would lead to something, because she was starting to run out of options. Never in her wildest dreams would she have expected the Goddess to have such a perfect body.

When she launched her attack, Lauren could only see a blur, like before. But this time, she reacted immediately. She focused all her speed on the black part of the blur. The knife. And the hand holding it.

It all happened within less than a second. In one minute Queen Scorpion was standing in front of Emerald Goddess, then in the next she was standing behind her. Just like before. Except this time, Goddess had an iron grip on Queen Scorpion's wrist. She twisted the knife out of her opponent's hand without any effort, and it fell to the ground.

It was over.

"Agh! Damn you, bitch!" Queen Scorpion sweared, as she tried to pull free of her archenemy. No such luck. Emerald Goddes held her firmly with her left hand. She could practically immobilize the other woman with one hand alone.

As she was struggling, trying to get away, Lauren leaned closer, "Shall I strip you again?" she whispered in her victim's ear, "Or will you be a good little girl and strip yourself this time?"

Queen Scorpion had fear in her eyes. She was so sure of her victory before. She glanced at all the people and cameras gathered around, pointing at them. She couldn't endure another humiliating naked march to the station. She just couldn't. Her knees were shaking. She looked up at Emerald Goddes, and in her position her eyes were mere inches away from her perfect bosom. She had to do something. And she was ****. More **** than she had ever been.

"Fuck you!" the Queen screamed and she bit down on the Goddess' left nipple. And bit down hard. As hard as she could.

The pain shot through Lauren's body. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced. Undescribable. Her instantenous reaction was to push its source as far away as it was possible. That meant, she punched the Queen in the side with all her might.

The Queen could feel blood in her mouth as she bit down on the hard little nub with everything she'd got. Then she felt her ribs scream out in pain. Then something hard hit her back and she blacked out.

Actually, Queen Scorpion flew straight into a nearby police car from Emerald Goddess' solid punch. That car was history. In fact, Lauren had slight concern on her face. Did she kill her? She ignored the pain still coursing through her breast as she watched intently while the police checked on the Queen. She may have been a vigilante, but killing a criminal was still a crime. More hassle than it was worth.

"She seems... alive." said the officer checking on Scorpion. "Just-Just ****."

Lauren let out a huge sigh of relief. She was also super tough. Just like Lauren. That explained why she felt like she had just punched a brick wall. Why was she even feeling any pain? Could Queen Scorpion actually be strong enough to damage her super tough body? She rubbed the red knuckles on her right hand. She would have to be more careful around her next time. She may have been tougher than she looked. Then again, she was in police custody now. Luckily for a long time.

"Then I think we are done here." said Lauren, eager to leave before the Scorpion died of some injury. "Another job well done by the Emerald Goddess." she announced smiling at the cameras.

As she was preparing to fly away, an officer walked up to her.

"Ex-Excuse me, Miss Goddess... Ma'am..." he stammered, "But-But..."

"Is there a problem?" she asked pretending like she cared. Then she realized that she was still naked in front of all those men and cameras. Well, naked apart from a belt and a mask. She pushed out her generous bosom and put her hands on her hips seductively.

"The car you just ruined..." he said pointing at the wreck while her colleagues were pulling Queen Scorpion's limp body out of it. She looked bruised and beaten, but wasn't bleeding. But she definitely lost any fighting spirit she'd had.

"Yes, you can thank me later."

She was mere seconds away from flying off when another officer walked up to Lauren. He seemed more determined. Probably higher ranking as well, but she couldn't tell. Nor did she care, frankly.

"Emerald Goddess!" he addressed Lauren in a firm tone, "The excessive collateral damage you have been causing in this city ever since appearing, has been a concern at the station for a while now."

Lauren raised an eyebrow. This strange little man'd peaked her curiousity.

"You see, we are all thankful for your... assistance." She heard a stifled laughter coming from behind as he said 'ass'. Really mature, she thought, flexing her backside in response. "But we were asked to arrest you next time we see you."

Lauren hollered at this new outcome. The cameras recorded every second of it. A beautiful and famous naked woman surrounded by police, and she was laughing at the prospect of being arrested. Then again, she was THE Emerald Goddess. Most of the relevant news stations were already present and were fighting for the best spots. After all, this event was probably the highlight of the week -- maybe even the month.

"You..." she could hardly breath from all the laughter, "You want to arrest ME?"

"Crimes are still crimes, even if committed with the best of intentions. Listen, it doesn't have to be violent. We are not enemies here." he said this with a hand held out like he was talking to a wild animal. "You can come down to the station willingly. Talk to the sarge. Maybe a public apology."

For standing in front of a naked goddess like her, this guy remained really professional. Too professional. Of course, in Lauren's eyes, he must have been gay. There was no doubt about it.

"Oh, I get it." she looked around at all the men admiring her flawless naked form, "You just want to show the naked Emerald Goddess down at the station." She seemed to be looking through the man in front of her, "Isn't that right, officer?"

"Well... You see... We could do this another time." Some of the crowd were booing at the officer as he said this. "But it would be in your best interest not to turn the city against yourself. If you are fighting against those breaking the law, then try to at least acknowledge these laws yourself. Show that you care."

Lauren was contemplating what he'd been saying. It was true that she'd caused some damage in her previous battles. Even her landing caused a few holes or cracks in the asphalt sometimes. She was still new to this whole superhero business. And it was especially hard containing her strength during fights. Then, stuff usually broke. Well, in the heat of a battle, she may have always caused more damage than was necessary. But what this gay guy was saying was not stupid at all. If she humbled herself for a day to apologise, she would again have the blessing of the city and could continue doing what she loved. Catching scum. She could swallow her pride for a few minutes, shake hands with the right people. And if she did it dressed -- or more like undressed -- like she was then, it would be even more effective. All could see that the hero of this city had nothing to hide. Not to mention it would boost her popularity tremendously.

She shot a glance at the Queen Scorpion, who was now standing with her hands cuffed in front of her. She was limping as she was slowly being led to the back of a nearby transport. She winked at the beaten villain, and then turned to the officer again.

"You know what?" she started, "Why not?" She raised her hands submissively, facing the cameras. "I, the Emerald Goddess, hereby surrender to the authorities." She put her hands together and held them out for a handcuff.

The crowd was left totally flabbergasted. Even the gay officer was surprised to see the huge amazon submit to him. For the crowd, this meant more of the naked amazon. And that was definitely something they appreciated.

"Take me to the station. Call the mayor, whoever you want. I'm ready to do what's right." She leaned closer to the officer and whispered in his ear, "You get this one chance. If you mess it up, I'll just fly off." She shot him a menacing look, "Don't think for a moment that you could contain me against my will."

The officer boldly took hold of Lauren's arms, as she cuffed her wrists. He made a bit of a show manhandling the naked Goddess before all the cameras. Lauren just let him. It was probably the highlight of his career. He was surprisingly strong, though. He must have been the 'husband', thought Lauren.

As another officer was bringing her a blanket, she waved him away and addressed the cameras. "And to show you how sincere I am, I won't even cover myself." She just winked at the confused guy. "After all, I have nothing to hide."

The cuffs dug into her wrists firmly. It was slightly uncomfortable. Again, she was feeling pain. Strange. Once her wrists were cuffed, she was led to the same police transport into which the Queen was pushed a moment ago. She grinned at the thought of how she could torment the broken woman in the back. It was the least she could do, after she had failed to strip her in front of all those cameras.

The men pushed her firmly in the back of the transport. They were almost sad to release the naked amazon. She sat on the opposing bench from Queen Scorpion and looked her squarely in the eyes. Scorpion averted her gaze, embarrassed at her recent defeat. She didn't know what game Goddess was playing letting herself be arrested, but she was anxious to get into a safe cell, away from the crazy bitch.

"Hi there!" Lauren said with a grin creeping to her face. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"Shut up..." she tried to sound intimidating, but her meek voice revealed her terror. Her hands were cuffed and her weapons stripped away. She couldn't help but feel intimidated by Emerald Goddess.

"It is not the way little girls should talk to their betters." said Lauren while looking at the Scorpion's little B cup bust. She brushed a lock of hair out of the Scorpion's face with her cuffed hands. She leaned closer to her victim with a menacing glint in her eyes.

"Don't-Don't touch me." Scorpion panicked, trying to vainly back away from Goddess.

"Why so jumpy?" asked Lauren with a wicked smile as she put a hand on the Scorpion's shoulder.

Queen Scorpion's eyes grew wide with fear. She was locked up with this mad woman for a ride. A mad woman who had stripped her once, for her sadistic pleasures. She had no fight left in her. There was nothig she could do. Then she felt Goddess grip her uniform around her shoulder.

"No! Get away from me!" and she pushed Lauren with all the strength she could muster.

And Emerald Goddess flew back onto her bench with a questioning look on her face. Clearly the little Scorpion still had some fight left in her. No matter, she would enjoy breaking her. She shot her hands to her victim's slim little neck. But the Scorpion grabbed her wrists to keep her hands away.

"What the...?" Lauren pushed harder, but the Scorpion held her wrists firmly away from her.

Queen Scorpion was fighting to keep her uniform on, but what surprised her was that Emerald Goddess didn't seem to be trying. Like she was toying with her. It was like she didn't take her seriously. She squeezed her wrists and threw the amazon back on her bench again.

"Ouch!" yelped Lauren as she smashed against the inner wall. What was going on? How did the Sorpion still have this much power in her?

It was uncanny. The beaten Queen Scorpion just made the mighty Emerald Goddes yelp out in pain. If anything, this only gave the Scorpion some hope.

As Lauren moved in again to grab hold of her victim's uniform, she felt a kick in between her breasts. The Scorpion planted her bootclad feet on her chest and pushing her to the side of the car. And what a kick it was. It knocked the breath straight out of Lauren. She was gasping for air as she vainly tried to free herself.

Queen Scorpion looked astounded at her struggle. She was not pretending. Somehow, she was stronger than Emerald Goddess. Or more like, Emerald Goddes was weaker than her. The beaten villain could hold her own against the vigilante like she was just a feeble school girl.

Lauren didn't want to snap her cuffs before -- as she was going to talk about how she respected the laws -- but this was an emergency. She pulled her wrists apart in an effort to free her arms. Or more like, she tried. She could only feel them dig into her flesh deeper. She winced at the pain. Scorpion noticed this.

"What? Did you run out of juice?" she asked tauntingly.

Lauren's eyes widened. The Scorpion was not getting stronger. It was her who was getting weaker. She looked down at her belt -- the source of her powers. And it had a huge cut on the front.

With the glowing emerald missing.

Then it all came flooding back to her. This explained why she felt pain before. Her nipple, her knuckles, her wrists. The Scorpion's last attack with the knife must have damaged the belt somehow. In the end, she was too slow to stop her in time. Now, her powers were gone. The realization hit her hard.

Her powers. Were gone.
