Well, Ursula could kidnap Ariel in fanfiction because she wants to take Ariel's place. Think about it. Ariel has a loving family, a great voice, and is adored by many. Ursula, on the other hand, is often shunned. So she might think that by kidnapping Ariel and getting rid of her, she can step into Ariel's life. Maybe she wants to be the one who is loved by Prince Eric. Or perhaps she wants to be the favorite daughter of King Triton. It's all about her twisted desires for a different kind of life.
One possible motive could be power. By stealing Ariel, Ursula might have planned to use her as a bargaining chip with King Triton. Ariel was Triton's beloved daughter, and Ursula could have demanded something in return for Ariel's freedom, like control over part of the ocean or some powerful magical items.
One possible motive could be his thirst for power. By kidnapping someone with a special ability or knowledge, like a powerful Force - user or a brilliant scientist, he could gain an edge in his quest to rule the galaxy. For example, if he kidnapped a Jedi who knew the location of ancient Sith artifacts, he could use those artifacts to increase his own strength.
One possible motive could be his fear of losing her. In the Star Wars universe, Anakin is deeply in love with Padme. If in fanfiction he feels that she is in danger or might be taken away from him by some external force or person, his desperation could lead him to kidnap her in an attempt to keep her safe. For example, if he suspects the Jedi Council of having some secret plan regarding Padme, his unstable state of mind might push him to this extreme action.
It could be that Peter has some sort of knowledge or information that the kidnappers want. For example, he might have accidentally witnessed a crime and the criminals want to keep him silent.
Well, in some fanfictions, Bill might kidnap Will to gain more power. Maybe Will has some special ability or knowledge that Bill wants to use for his own evil plans.
Perhaps it's about love in a twisted way. Sebastian might be obsessed with Clary and think that by kidnapping her, he can make her his. In some fanfictions, characters with a warped sense of love do extreme things like this. He could also be trying to use Clary as a pawn in a larger scheme against the Shadowhunters. By having her in his control, he can manipulate the situation to his advantage.
One possible motive could be misinformation. Maybe Bucky was misled to believe the OC was a threat to someone he cares about. So, he kidnapped the OC to prevent them from causing harm.
Maybe Dumbledore believes that Harry has some hidden power that is being corrupted by the environment at Hogwarts. So, he kidnaps Harry to a secluded place to train him and help him control this power without any distractions or negative influences from other students or even some of the teachers.
One possible motive could be that Sasuke is being controlled by some dark force. Maybe an enemy has a hold over him and is using him to kidnap Sakura as a way to get to Naruto or the Hidden Leaf Village. Another reason might be a misunderstanding on Sasuke's part. He could think that Sakura has some information that is crucial to his personal vendetta and decides to take her by force to get that information.
One possible plot could be that Ursula, after seeing Ariel's determination and new - found courage, has a change of heart. She kisses Ariel as a sign of new - found respect and an unspoken truce between them. Maybe it's a moment of realization for Ursula that Ariel is more than just a mermaid who got in her way.
