Peter Pan vs. Ultear

The sound of metal clashing filled the cavern. Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, valiantly crossed blades with Ultear Milkovich atop a high cliff. Ultear was a pretty young woman with long dark hair wearing a skin-tight, sleeveless, white battlesuit with black patterning and trimmed with gold patterns, along with a red cape, as well as sporting a matching white headband. She was a high-ranking member of Grimoire Heart, a Dark Magic Guild that had come to Neverland hoping to conquer it. Although she always acted like a normal attractive woman, Ultear was actually quite sinister, tricking and manipulating people with her magic and willing to go to any underhanded lengths to get what she wants. Peter Pan, protector of Neverland, was keen on foiling her plans, which led them to this showdown in the interior of Skull Rock, a cavernous landmark in the middle of the ocean.

As Ultear swung her sword at Peter, who parried with his dagger, the battle was watched by two spectators. Wendy, Peter's delicate friend from England, was sitting atop a high ledge, hidden from sight by shadows. She covered her eyes as the weapons were slung, only to peek between her fingers moments later. Meredy, Ultear’s less experienced partner, stood by her rowboat, cheering her friend on. "Give it to him, Ultear! Cleave him to the brisket!"

Ultear was trying her best to do just that, but Peter kept dodging her attacks and taunting her. Flying behind her after one missed blow, the mischievous Peter pulled down Ultear’s headband on her face. This was only momentary, as the furious girl readjusted her headband and slammed her sword down on Peter's dagger so hard that Peter almost fell to the ground. Peter began backing away from Ultear, who continued stepping forward, her blade still touching Peter's. She smirked triumphantly and smugly declared "I've got you now, Peter Pan! "

Suddenly, Peter smiled and pulled his dagger back, opting instead to point downward. Ultear looked at him curiously and then glanced down, seeing only water....and then she gasped in horror as it hit her that she had walked right off the cliff and was now standing in mid-air! And while Peter Pan could fly, Ultear could not! Screaming, Ultear began to fall, her sword dropping from her hand as she did. Flailing in the air madly, the dark mage just barely managed to produce a knife and embed it into the rock of the very top of the cliff. Ultear now hung on for dear life from the weapon, several dozen feet above the water.

Peter flew back on top of the cliff and sheathed his dagger, knowing the battle to be won. Now it was time to have some fun at his enemy's expense! "Well, well!" he chuckled as he looked down upon Ultear, "An anglerfish on a hook!"

Hearing this, Ultear shot a furious glare up at Peter. She felt so frustrated and humiliated that tears began to fall from her brown eyes as she shook her fist and yelled "I'll get you for this, Pan! If it's the last thing I do!"

Suddenly, the silent cave began to be filled with a new sound. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock.....

Peter's face broke into a wide grin. He put a hand to his ear and asked "I say, Ul....do you hear something?"

"No!" Ultear yelped. She heard the sound, all right, and it filled her with terror. There was only one thing in Neverland that could be making that sound: the crocodile. This giant beast was always on the lookout for food, and his swallowing of an alarm clock was how he received his signature ticking. Ultear knew that he had been stalking her ever since she arrived in Neverland, meaning he'd probably decided that she looked like a nice dinner. Glancing downward at the water, Ultear repeated "No!" and began shaking all over.

A pair of reptilian eyes were sticking out of the water and coming closer, the tick-tock sound growing louder as they did. Then finally, the crocodile's whole head burst out into view. The crocodile smiled in pure delight at the sight of Ultear dangling and wiggling above him like bait. And then, without delay, he jumped up out of the water and straight at Ultear, his jaws opening wide.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Ultear shrieked at the top of her lungs. SNAP! The crocodile bit down on the end of Ultear's cape and with a ripping noise, it was torn clean off. There was a splash as the crocodile landed back down in the water with Ultear's cape in his jaws. With a satisfied smile, the crocodile began chewing the fabric, loudly smacking his lips and looking back up at Ultear as he did. Finally the beast swallowed the clothing, making a large gulping sound as it traveled down his throat, and licked his chops in pleasure at the taste left behind by the girl who wore it. His hunch had been right: she was delicious!

"Oh Mr. Crocodile," Peter playfully called out from atop the cliff, "Do you like anglerfish?" The crocodile's smile widened upon hearing this and his tail actually began to wag as he began excitedly nodding his head in response. "You  do?" Peter replied, stepping backward and lifting a foot in the air, almost as if to deliver a good kick to the knife embedded in the rock before him.

From her spot on the ledge, Wendy's eyes widened her mouth agape in shock. "Oh Peter,  no!" she cried in horror and disapproval. This was definitely not how one was supposed to treat a lady, even an evil one!

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Ultear, meanwhile, had managed to kick her legs through the air until her feet touched the cliffside and she desperately attempted to climb up. But before she could make it, the crocodile then jumped up for another bite. SNAP!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> This time the beast's jaws clamped down upon the seat of Ultear's pants and as he went down, so did they. The pants stopped sliding at Ultear's feet with the crocodile now hanging from them in mid-air, and the girl's panties were exposed. Peter stuck his fingers in his mouth and let out a wolf whistle before doubling off with laughter. Blushing bright red, Ultear reached down with her free hand and attempted to pull her pants back up.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">This was a grave mistake, as the strain made by her body performing this action shook the knife. It slid downward through the rock and then broke loose from it altogether. With nothing holding her in place, Ultear plummeted like a stone, screaming all the way down. The crocodile immediately opened his jaws up wide and the girl fell right into his awaiting mouth. SNAP!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> The reptile's jaws closed and his head disappeared beneath the water with a splash.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">All was quiet for a few seconds. And then another splash occurred as the crocodile's head reemerged. Ultear was still in his mouth, hair disheveled and half of her clothing in tatters, and was holding his jaws apart with her hands. Lifting her head up, the girl screamed as hard as she could:  "MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Meredy was already scrambling to her rowboat. "D-don't worry, Ultear! Stay right there now!" she stammered, "I'll save you, Ultear!"

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Ultear managed to get a foothold in on the ends of each of the crocodile's jaws, so she was able to climb up. She stretched her long legs out to prevent the crocodile from closing his jaws on her, as he was currently trying to do. The croc's tongue curled inward toward his mouth, as if insisting Ultear to come on in. Soon, the beast's strength won out and he snapped his jaws shut, but Ultear managed to stay standing. The crocodile repeated the motion, hoping to make Ultear lose her footing. '''SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!'''<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> As she was being endlessly scissored by the snapping jaws of the crocodile, Ultear put her hands around her mouth and called out to her partner once more. "MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">But Meredy's clumsiness was delaying her, as she had a hard time getting into the boat, and then she almost began rowing while leaving the actual oars behind! Ultear's feet couldn't hold out and she lost her footing. The villainess found herself in the crocodile's mouth again. Frantically, she pressed her hands up on his top jaw as it attempted to close down on her, pushing it upward instead. As she did, Ultear attempted to step out of the reptile's maw. The crocodile couldn't help but grin at this, he admired this girl's pluck. This wasn't going to stop him though, and he slammed his top jaw down right on Ultear's foot. SNAP!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> Ultear yelped in pain as her foot slid right out of her boot and she shot upward into the air, clutching her bare foot in hopes of soothing the soreness. And then she fell, upside-down, right into the hungry crocodile's mouth yet again. Luckily, her stretched-out legs and feet prevented her from being swallowed.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">At this point, Meredy had finally begun rowing her boat furiously to come to her friend's aid. Ultear, still upside down and even more of her clothes torn off, attempted to push herself up and out of the croc's mouth with her arms. But the crocodile, finding this annoying, raised his tail and slapped his bottom jaw with it. The impact of this flung Ultear out and into the air, arms flailing wildly. The crocodile jumped after her, snapping his jaws at her as he did. '''SNAP! SNAP!'''<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> There was a splash, and then both beast and girl resurfaced right next to Meredy's rowboat. Ultear’s eyes widened in shock as she realized that she was now on top of the crocodile's snout. The crocodile was thus looking right at her, and he gave her a wide, devious smile. "Ultear! Ultear!" Meredy shouted as she saw her half-naked teammate pass.

"MEREDY! MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> the frightened Ultear cried as she jumped to her bare feet and ran off the crocodile's snout, across it's scaly body, and then made a jump for the boat as she came to the tail. Meredy threw out her arms, hoping to catch her friend when she landed. Then suddenly, the crocodile popped up from the water and pushed the rowboat back with his claw. He opened up his mouth and Ultear ended up landing in it. SNAP!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> The beast's jaws closed triumphantly. But just as he was beginning to enjoy his tasty treat, Meredy lifted an oar over her head and yelled "Give her back!"

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">She slammed the oar downward....and just then, Ultear pried the croc's jaws open and screamed  '''"MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" WHAM!'''<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Meredy's oar hit Ultear right on the head, and the force of the blow sent both her and the crocodile down to the bottom of the ocean. Shrugging off the cranial injury, Ultear swam back up to the surface and jumped onto the boat. Seeing this, Meredy immediately began rowing backward, toward a small opening that served as an exit from the cave. "Row for the airship!" Ultear shouted at her colleague. "Row for the air-!"

THUD!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> Ultear had been standing up in the boat, and so as it passed through the opening, she instead hit the cavern wall and fell with a splash back into the water. The crocodile was delighted to see this perfect opportunity to get his meal, and he quickly began swimming toward Ultear. The villainess lifted her head up above the water. Her thick, wet hair was covering her face, so she parted it with her hands in order to see. To her horror, what she saw was the crocodile coming right at her! "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!"<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> she shrieked, and immediately swam to the opening. But just as she reached it, a wave swelled up under her and she ended up hitting the wall once again.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">The crocodile made a jump for the evil girl, and ended up slamming right into her so hard that the cavern wall broke apart. Now on the other side, Ultear began swimming for her life, screaming and calling after her subordinate up ahead. "MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> The crocodile was hot on her heels, swimming and snapping his jaws hungrily. As she swam, Ultear heard what sounded like a rooster's crow. She knew it was Peter Pan, celebrating his victory....and her defeat. "I'll get my revenge on him for this, I swear it!" the dark mage fumed. SNAP!<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> "Aaaaaah! That is, once I get back to the airship!  WAIT UP, MEREDY! MEREDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!"
