Samson and Goliath in "Creature Of The Alps"

05 Dec 2009 04:49 #17661 by Dr. Muttonchops
Hey everyone, well after nursing a sprained ankle and a bad case of writer's block, I've finally finished my latest fic. It's based on the Hannah-Barbera cartoon "The Mighty Samson and Goliath" About a young man and his dog traveling around the world, who could transform into a muscular hero and a lion, when Samson clashed his magic bracelets together. The idea to do this fic comes from another user. Enjoy! :D

"Jacques, slow down, will you?" Hans told his climbing partner on the side of one of the
alps. "Sorry Hans, you're going to have to pick up the pace if you want to keep up with..
what the.. AAAUGHH!" Jacques suddenly screamed. "Jacques, what's the matter?" Hans called
out to him, but there was no response, only a sickening crunching noise. Suddenly, the
rope gave way, and the entire team plummeted to their doom.

Samson and Goliath rode into Zurich on their motorcycle the next morning. "Nice to explore
foreign territory by doing some exciting climbing, eh Goliath? Goliath barked his
approval. They stopped at a café called "Café Noir" "You stay out here, Goliath. I don't
think they'd appreciate you coming in." Samson said to his companion. Goliath whimpered
sadly. "Sorry, fella. I'll be out soon." Samson offered apologetically.

Once inside, Samson felt like he had walked into a wake instead of a coffee shop. The look
on all of the patrons faces was completely grim, except for the gorgeous young woman with
shoulder length reddish brown hair and emerald green eyes, who smiled at him. Samson
approached her. "Wow. Who killed this party?" He asked. The woman's face became slightly
downcast as she answered in flawless English "Well, they're just mourning the climbing
party that perished while attempting to scale one of the alps." "Wow! You can speak perfect
English!" Samson cheerfully exclaimed. "Why, of course. My mother was an American. By the
way, my name is Camilla Delacroix, and what might yours be?" she asked, her pleasant smile
gracing her face again. "It's Samson. My last name's not important. But what's this I hear
about a climbing accident on one of the alps?" Samson asked. "Oh, yes. It was a terrible
accident! The rope just suddenly failed." Camilla said morosely. "That was no accident. It
was the creature!" A rugged, bearded man at a table spoke up. "Creature? What creature?"
Samson asked bewildered. "The creature that killed those climbers, that's what! You know,
they never found the leader of that team. And I'll tell you why, because he was devoured
by the creature!" he finished dramatically. "Who's that unpleasant fellow?" Samson quiried.
"Oh, that's just Stefan." Camilla nonchalantly responded. "Anyway, I'm going to go climbing
and I need to organize a team. But that mountain that the men died climbing intrigues me.
So I think I'd better climb that one." Samson said. "I'll join you!" Camilla eagerly said.
"What! You? But you're a.." Samson began "What? A girl? Let me tell you something, pal, I
can hold my own with boys like you because my parents taught me how!" Camilla aggresively
shouted. At this, most of the customers in the café turned around in suprise. "Okay, okay,
I'm sorry. You can come along." Samson said apologetically. "That's more like it!" Camilla
said, her cheerful demeanor having returned. "Did I hear that you were organizing a
climbing party?" Stefan asked. "That's right, I want to investigate the alp those climbers
died on." Samson replied. "Well, you're in luck. I just happen to be an expert climber!
And I've been wanting to get rid of the creature that killed my friends!" Stefan exclaimed.
"Fair enough. Assemble your team and we'll leave as soon as possible." Samson said
assertively.

That night, the crew stayed at an inn, they had been warned beforhand that because of the
heavy snowfall, the phones were out. "Think we'll find anything interesting on that alp,
Goliath, old pal?" Samson asked his canine compatriot, Goliath merely licked his lips in
response. Later, as Samson slept, Goliath suddenly perked his ears up and growled. Samson
heard this, and awoke. "What is it, Goliath? Do you hear something?" As Samson adjusted his
ears, he heard a menacing voice say "Come on, move it!" in the next room. Another voice
said "Shouldn't we grab those other two?" "No. They're just a couple of kids, forget about
them." the first voice said. "Let's see what's going on, Goliath!" Samson said, and went to
the window. He looked outside, and saw several men leading the bound team away at gunpoint!
"Come on, Goliath! The phones are out! We'll have to take care of this problem ourself!"
Samson said, as he parted his arms! Suddenly, Camilla opened the door halfway and said in
a groggy voice "Samson, what were those voices.." she stopped mid-sentence upon seeing him
bring his bracelets together, and with a mighty crash, he was transformed into a muscular
version of himself, with longer hair, wearing a white leotard! Camilla watched with wonder
in her eyes saying "Wow!" softly to herself as she hid. Samson, unaware of her presence,
said to Goliath "Okay, your turn, buddy!" as he clashed his braclets together again,
transforming Goliath into a mighty lion! "Unbelieveable!" Camilla thought. "Now, let's
take care of those kidnappers!" Samson said, as he and Goliath zoomed out the door and
towards the crimanals. "Halt right where you are!" Samson loudly commanded. "It's him!
Fire!" One of the men ordered. The men opened fire with their rifles, but Samson lept into
the air and crashed down on the men! He grabbed their guns and snapped them with his bare
hands! He then rushed over to the climbing team and untied them. "Thank you! Whoever you
are! But look! They're getting away!" Stefan said, pointing at the retreating men. "No
problem! Fetch, boy!" Samson commanded. Goliath ran after the men, and grabbed the collars
of their shirts with his teeth! He led them back to Samson and dropped them at his feet.
"Okay, now let's see how you boys like being tied up!" Samson said, as he quickly tied the
men's hands and feet together! "Well, I'll escort these thugs to the proper authorities,
gentlemen, have a good evening!" Samson said to the team, as he got on Goliath's back, with
the bound thugs in one hand, and they bounded off! "Amazing! Absolutely incredible!" Stefan
said to his men. "My thoughts exactly." Camilla said smugly to herself as she stood in her
doorway.

Upon returning, Samson and Goliath, now back in their normal forms, were suprised to see
Camilla standing at their door, with her arms crossed, and a smirk on her face. "Uh, hello
Camilla, what are you doing at my door?" Samson asked. "Oh, I just wanted to congratulate
you on your triumph back there, Mighty Samson!" she said condescendingly. "What..What are
you talking about?" Samson asked nervously. "I'm talking about how you clicked your little
bracelets together and transformed into a muscular marvel, and how you changed your dog to
a lion, and how you stopped those kidnappers, that's what I'm talking about!" Camilla said
with a superior tone. "I-Impossible! How could you possibly have known?" Samson stammered.
"I watched you through the door, when I opened it!" Camilla stated matter-of-factly.
"Camilla, you can't tell anybody about this! It's a secret!" Samson warned. "Oh, don't
worry, Samson. I'll keep it to myself. If you let me use them every now and then!" Camilla
said with a twinkle in her eye. "Absolutely not! You're just a.." Samson began, when
suddenly, Camilla grabbed him by his lapels and put her fist in front of his face! "If you
use that "Just a girl" excuse on me again, I'll slug you!" she said with righteous fury in
her voice! "Okay, okay! You can use them sometime!" Samson said defensively. "Now, let's go
back to sleep, we have a long journey tomorrow!" he said, excusing himself and Goliath as
they went back to their room. Camilla just stood on the inn's balcony and tightened her
fists and closed her eyes saying to herself "Imagine.. All that power, mine!" as she began
to fantisize.

Early he next day, the crew set out for the alps. Upon locating the one that the climbers
had fallen from, they began scaling it. Halfway up, the sun began to go down and Stefan
called out to the team "The day's almost over, but there's a cavern up here, we can camp
for the night." "Wait a minute! How do you know that the creature isn't up there?" Samson
asked. "I don't, we'll just have to chance it! Besides, the boys and I are armed!" Stefan
replied. The team then climbed up to the cavern, and as most of the team slept inside,
Camilla sat in the entrance, looking out forlornley. Samson noticed this and walked over
and sat down next to her. "Can't sleep?" he asked. "Oh, I was just remembering my parents."
Camilla softly answered. "Oh, do they live far away?" Samson asked. "They were murdered."
Camilla sorrowfully replied with tears streaming down her face. "That's horrible! What
happened?" Samson asked. "It happened while I was away at college. Someone broke into their
house while they were asleep and shot them, then burned their house down." She said
solemnly. "My goodness! I'm so sorry." Samson said. "I can't take it anymore, Samson. I'm
not strong enough to deal with it." Camilla said sadly. "Yes you are, Camilla! You're the
strongest girl I know!" Samson said reassuringly. Camilla smiled and wiped her tears away,
then she gave Samson a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks!" She said joyfully. "No problem. Come
on, we've got to get to sleep." Samson replied.

The next morning, they began their ascent to the top, at about mid-afternoon, Stefan called
out to the team "Hey, I think I can see the top! There's a cave near it as well!" "Alright!
Let's go for it!" Samson replied. They eventually made it up to the cave,except for
Camilla, who was still climbing. "Well, I don't see any creature." Samson said.Suddenly a
massive white, furry beast with burning red eyes, long black claws, and massive, gleaming
white teeth lept from inside the cave and grabbed the team of men in the crook of his arm.
Then, letting out a loud, piercing roar, the monster swiped the rope with his claws,
cutting it! Camilla, who was still climbing, nearly fell, but grabbed on to several
fissures on the surface, and pulled herself up to the cave. Once beside it, she peaked
inside and saw the team and Samson bolted to the wall, and Goliath was tied to a stake
and muzzled. The other men appeared to be incapacitated. The monster was sleeping beside
them "So that's the monster that just tried to kill me!" Camilla thought to herself.
Samson's bracelets had been romoved, and were on a table. Several sinister looking men
were gathered around him, one was saying to him "Well, if it isn't the world famous Samson!
That's right young man, we know of your ability to transform into a musclebound hero with
those bracelets! But now without them you're nothing! This yeti we were able to train made
sure of that! Now mybe we can continue our counterfitting job in peacefully. We'll be back
in a few minutes to get some information out of you, so don't go anywhere. Oh wait, I
forgot, you can't!" The men all laughed boisteriously as they left the room though a
makeshift door. "I have to act fast!" Camilla thought to herself as she crept into the
cave. "Camilla! You're alive!" Samson nearly screamed, but then he remembered the sleeping
Yeti near him, and only whispered it. "Yeah, I just barely made it." Camilla responded,
she then went over to the table where the bracelets were and took them in her hands.
"Great! You can unbolt me, then give me my bracelets so I can clean house." Samson said.
"Sorry, but the one cleaning house around here is going to be me!" Camilla said as she
snapped the bracelets on her wrists! "What are you doing?" Samson asked bewildered. "You
said I could use these every now and then, I chose right now!" Camilla said, as she clashed
the bracelets together! Her muscles grew to enormous proportions and bulged with pure
might on her bisceps, her bosom, backside and her legs! She looked mightier than any
champion athelete! Her hair grew to the small of her back! Her normal clothing was
replaced with a white leotard! This woke the Yeti up, and he growled and charged her. But
with a mighty blow from Camilla, the large creature crumpled to the floor. "Amazing! THE
POWER!" Camilla said in a mighty voice! Samson just looked at her bewildered. At that, the
counterfieters came bursting through the door with guns drawn "Who are you?" the leader
demanded. "The woman who's going to put an end to this operation!" Camilla said
assertively! The men went for their guns, but Camilla lept foreward and tackled them
saying "Uh, uh, uh! You mustn't play with these dangerous toys!" She said in a maternal
tone, before crushing all of their guns with one hand! Suddenly, the Yeti, who had awoken,
charged at her again, but Camilla merely grabbed him by the scruff of it's neck, and lifted
it over her head! You shall never terrorize the inhabitants of this peaceful city again!"
She said triumphantly, before throwing it out the cave to it's doom! She then brought the
bracelets together again, and transformed Goliath into his lion form, and feeing him from
his leash and muzzle. She then unbound the Samson and the still unconcious team, and
gathered them in one hand, and grabbed the crooks by their collars with her other hand!
"Okay, Goliath! Let's get out of here!" Camilla mightily commanded as she lept on the
lions back. Goliath lept from alp to alp as if they were small hills! Finally, they were
back on the ground. Once off her mount, Camilla took mighty leaps, going through the city
in mere seconds, before arriving at the police station and dropping off the criminals.
Upon seeing the police officers, the counterfieters lept into their arms and said "We'll
tell you everything! Just don't leave us with her!" They screamed. Camilla smiled at the
officers and saluted, before leaping away! Shortly afterward, she returned the team and
Samson to the inn.

The next day, Samson was getting on his scooter with Goliath, ready to leave, when Camilla,
the bracelets still on her wrists, carrying a shoulder bag approached him. "So, I heard you
got a call from the police station." A relived look came across her face "Yes, the
counterfieters confessed to my parents murder, it turns out my parents uncovered their
crime, so they silenced them, it really brought me some closure." she said with a smile.
That's wonderful Camilla, now if I could have my bracelets back.." Samson began, before
Camilla interrupted him "Oh no you don't! I have tremendous power at my disposal and I'm
not giving it up on account of a jealous little man like you!" "But you don't know how to
harness it's power properly! After all, you're just a.." Samson began again before Camilla
once again cut him off "What did I tell you about calling me "Just a girl"? Besides, I
handled myself just fine out there! If there's any doubt in your mind, I could always do to
you what I did to those crooks!" Camilla said aggressively, about to bring her bracelets
together. "N-No, that's alright." Samson said looking sheepish, before her bag caught his
eye. "Hey, what's with the bag." he asked. "They're my things. I'm coming with you. But
I'm driving because from now on, we're going were I want to go!" Camilla said. Goliath
barked happily and wagged his tail as Camilla sat in front of Samson. "Traitor!" Samson
accused his dog before turning his attention to Camilla "So, what do I call you? Delilah?"
he asked. "Cheeky! "Camilla" will do just fine!" Camilla said authoritively, before the
three rode off into the golden rising sun.

A dog into a cat? Well, we work with the source material we're given. Wikipedia has a list of the show's villains if you run short of inspiration :-).

Thanks for telling me, but this is really a one time thing. I won't be making
another "Samson and Goliath" story, because I have other irons in the fire. But about that dog into cat thing, yeah, I couldn't help it. Thanks! :)
