Halves of the Lightning
Part 2
Trail of the Lightning
As Snow White sat on her bed, she still couldn’t get over the looks on the dwarfs’ faces when she transformed into the mighty maiden. She showed them she could fly by taking Doc under her arm and flying high in the air and hovering above to allow Doc to see their cottage from up high. She showed them her strength by lifting a nearby tree and turning it into logs for the fire with her bare hands. She even showed how tough her skin was by placing her hands straight into the fire and leaving them there for over a minute and showing them there were no burn marks whatsoever. The Queen was in the throne room so deep in thought that she paid Snow White no mind, so Snow White went to bed knowing her secret was kept for now. The next day, Snow White was coming down the stairs when she heard a commotion from the throne room. She ran to the corner and peeked around to see two soldiers carrying a wounded soldier on their shoulders. The Captain was bleeding from several places and had an arrow sticking out of his left leg. The Queen stood up quickly with a look of shock on her face “What’s the meaning of this?! Captain, what happened to you?!” The Captain looked up at the queen and told her the horrible ordeal “Your highness, we were attacked yesterday. The armies of Boringdoor laid siege to us without warning and destroyed most of our catapults and battering rams. We tried to fight them off, but there were too many. We were overwhelmed and some of the soldiers were captured. Only I was able to escape as to come back and warn you. They are now massing at the outermost borders of your land and will likely attack any day now.” The queen was enraged to hear this, “They dare attack me?!!! So King John thinks he can strike a swift, deadly blow to get the upper hand on me? Ha, I’ll show him! You there, go to and tell General Stryder to meet me in hear immediately! Go now!!” With that, the soldier ran off and the captain was tended to by the royal doctor. Snow White thought about the incredible things she did and wanted to see if it’ll work on a larger scale. So she ran out the back way and headed toward the dwarfs’ cottage. Once there, she saw Happy outside whittling some wood, “Happy, where are the others?” “Oh Sleepy’s inside….sleeping, Grump’s in the back being grumpy as usual, while Doc and the others took a walk in the woods. Why?” “I overheard the Queen and one of the soldiers. He said the armies for Boringdoor are at the edge of the kingdom and might attack any day.” Happy now looked distressed “Oh boy I better tell Sleepy and Grumpy and then we’ll try to find the others.” “Ok, but in the meantime I’ll go down there and see for myself.” Happy jumped in shock “Oh no, princess. You better stay away from there, it’s too dangerous for you.” Snow White looked at Happy with a smirk, “After what you guys saw last night, you really think I’m going like this?” And with that she backed away from Happy into a clearing and shouted “Shazam!!!” Yellow lightning engulfed her and she was once again the mighty maiden of power. “NOW I’ll go have a look see for myself and maybe convince that army that attacking would be most foolish of them.” Then with the slightest of power she propelled herself into the sky and headed toward the massing army.
There were several legions massed by the South Farthing River and as far she could see, there were a number of catapults and strange wagons moving toward the river. She also saw several bridges being made so the army and their vehicles can cross over. “Looks like they’re going to attack all right.” She said to herself. “Let’s see if I can talk them out of it.” She then flew toward the nearest bridge. Several soldiers were working on the bridge when they heard some footsteps coming toward them. They all looked up and were shocked to see a girl walking to them. She stopped just short of the soldiers and was gratified to see the looks on their faces. “Gentlemen, I like the workmanship you’re doing, but I would have to ask you to tell your army to advance no more.” The soldiers then looked at each other and started to laugh out loud “Are you kidding? Who are you and more importantly, what do you mean stop our advance?” She thought about a name she should give herself, so she thought of a good one “My name is Mary Marvel and what I mean is that you will not attack this kingdom. I will and can stop you by force if necessary.” The soldiers laughed even louder than before “Listen girl, do yourself a favor, turn around a go back to that tyrant you call a queen and tell her we’re coming and she better be ready for a fight.” They then turned and went back to work finishing the bridge. She didn’t move a muscle and looked at the soldiers working on the bridge, “You know I really don’t like the queen myself, but this is my home and I will not stand by and watch you burn it to the ground. There too many innocent people that’ll get hurt or die so I’ll ask you again to turn back and go home.” This time the soldier got angry and stood up and faced Mary down and wagged his finger at her “Now you Listen hear, I’m not going tell you again to beat it you…….” Before he can finish, she grabbed his finger and twisted it with ease, hearing the bones in his finger crack and watching the soldier fall to his knees. “I said turn back and go home. You will not attack this kingdom today!” Still holding his finger, Mary walked off the bridge and then released him. “Maybe this will convince you otherwise.” With that, she turned toward the bridge, kneeled down and dug her fingers into the space between the ground and the bridge and started to stand up. There was a loud creaking noise coming from the bridge as Mary continued to stand up and the soldier could not believe his eyes on what happened next. Mary was at full stand and with a yank, lifted almost three quarters of the bridge out of the water and threw it far away. She then turned to the soldier “I hope that was enough to convince not to attack. I would certainly hope that I don’t have to go further with this.” The soldier started to walk backwards in fright and soon was running with the other soldiers to the encampment. They soon returned with a cadre of armed soldiers and Mary sighed to herself hoping it wouldn’t come to this. The soldiers armed with swords and shields and spears came running toward her until they had her corner against the river behind her. One of the soldiers, a Captain himself, spoke “You destroyed one of our bridges and assaulted a soldier of the kingdom Boringdoor. You are hereby placed under arrest. Guards take her!” As the two soldier moved in to arrest her, Mary rolled her eyes “Ok, I tried to warn you, now face my power!” Mary took the soldiers’ spear and with one hand, flung the soldier over to the other side of the river and saw him slam into a tree with great force that a huge crack was made in it as the slumped down to the ground. As she turned back, the other soldier swung his sword against her right shoulder, only to see it shatter to pieces. Mary grabbed him by his tunic and threw him into the other soldiers and they fell like playing cards. She started to walk toward the camp as soldiers were trying to attack her from every angle. She swatted them away like flies as their weapons broke against her tough skin. One of the soldiers in the camp saw the commotion and blew his horn to warn his comrades of a coming attack. The army stirred and each soldier grabbed their swords and spears and rushed to where the attack was happening. Mary was still walking and swatting soldiers away from her until the numbers was starting to become great, then she grabbed, punched, and headlocked any soldier that got near her. General Gordon was standing some 400 yards away watching in disbelief at the sight of one young girl manhandling a cadre of soldiers and their weapons having no effect on her body. He ordered the cannons to be at the ready when she came into range meanwhile he ordered his war wagons to charge at her. Mary now grew tired of this “I’ve had about enough of this!” She started to run, then was flying straight into the huge mass of men. On impact they all scattered like leaves as they fell to the ground hard. She continued to do this several times until she saw the strange wagons heading her way. Mary flew toward them and landed in their path standing ever so rigid with feet planted firmly I the ground. When the fist wagon came, the harness that held the horses broke against her knees, shot out her arms and stopped the wagons’ motion. She waited until the horses was far enough away when she slipped her hands underneath and flipped the wagon over off it’s wheels. Soon she started destroying the other wagons, lifting and throwing them away or into other wagons. General Gordon was in total shock “How can a young girl like her be THAT strong?!!” He watched as she took the last of his wagons, lifted it over her head with one arm and walk toward the catapults and threw it against them, shattering both wagon and catapults. She then proceeded to destroy the catapults in the same fashion as she did with the wagons. Some she lifted and threw and other she tore apart with her hands. Mary was feeling exhilarated at the show of power she put on as she ripped apart another catapult. After she finished off the last catapult, she turned and saw the General standing there by those cannons then walked toward him. General saw her coming and shouted the order “FIRE!!!” Several cannons fired and the explosions dancing in and around Mary and the General ordered again “FIRE!!!” Once again the cannons fired and more explosions hit its mark. Satisfied with that he ordered the cannons to cease fire, thinking nothing could survive that barrage. As the smoke cleared the General was again in total shock when he saw her standing there look dead at him still walking until she was face to face with him. Mary spoke to the General “I was hoping it didn’t have to come to this, but you left me no choice. Undoubtedly you saw what I did to your entire army, now you have no choice but to turn tail and head back home. Saying that, she walked over and started bending each cannon into a knot before she walked back past a stunned and shocked general. “Let this be a lesson to you, try to talk instead of fighting, you may get better results. As for the Queen, I’ll deal with her when the time comes.” Mary then started to fly away toward to dwarf’s cottage as the general looked around at the broken wagons and catapults, and the fallen men and wonder where she got that kind of power from. What both parties didn’t know was that the entire event was watched from afar by an unknown person hiding in the trees just across the river. As soon as the coast was clear, he jumped down and got on his horse and made full gallop toward the Queen’s castle. She must be told of this at once!
