The four of us sat in the kitchen, the ship still had a couple of hours before it would be repaired. We were planning out how to take out violet over a leisurely meal of sandwiches and potato salad. My mother was explaining the setup now.

“Violet has a large compound, or I guess you’d call it a keep here. High walls with orcs on guard, inside the walls a barracks which supports the orc tribe. They’re bigger and stronger than goblins, but as far as we could tell none of them have magic. It’s not all paved on the inside either, just a walled off part of the area, the trees, bushes, and more are still there, maybe because she’s a witch? She has a rather large mansion in the center, and from what we saw two ogre guards, but the scanners picked up four more somewhere else in the compound, so she has a whole family of them.

“Outside the walls there are a couple of hundred goblins of three different tribes. They work the farms, and guard the pits where the human slaves are kept when they aren’t working. There were more goblin tribes scattered around her facing both the north and west sides to warn about and blunt any attack from her other neighbors, but we already enslaved all of them.”

I nodded, “So two hundred goblins, a wall, fifty orcs, and a mansion with the witch and a family of ogres?”

Dad replied, “That sums it up. The only true dangers are the goblin mages, and the witch, though the latter is the most dangerous by far. The rest we can enslave to bolster our own forces when we move east.”

“So, how did she catch you out?”

Mom replied, “We moved the ship over the keep, and released the flying spheres with the control implants. The witch destroyed almost all the ones I’d launched, and then managed to damage the ship itself, and that’s when we retreated and called you.”

“How about a knockout gas, if we want to keep most of them alive?”

I was of two minds about that, letting her gather and control an army made up of the evil races was one thing, helping her do so was quite another.

Mom scoffed, “That’s no fun, might as well just drop a missile on them.”

I snorted, “So what do you want Gerard and I to do?”

She bit her lip, “Well, I want you to dispel her shield.”

I frowned, “Don’t you have that sonic gun?”

She nodded, “Yes, but that would kill her.”

My mind was stuck for a moment, but then I caught on. I’d forgotten how to even think like a supervillain. She didn’t want to kill the witch, she wanted to hit her with a human mind control implant and control the witch. Violet was evil, and quite possibly even deserved it, but I couldn’t help her enslave a human, could I?

“You don’t need a witch mom.”

She replied, “She’d make a superior test subject, and help me make faster progress in my research.
