Birth of the Gorgons
By The Q-Team
Earth
2000 BC
The country of Greece.
This land at present is one of the most civilized places on the planet in recorded history. In the future the land of Greece will contribute greatly to proceeding generations.
It also here that ley lines, or magic, runs through the land as do other lay lines across the planet.
The ley line here is about to be tapped.
Out of the darkness appeared three women. All of them wore black robes and carried around their necks the pendent of an eye.
The eye of the witch Hexuba.
“What a mudball of a world. ” the first said taking her hood off. She was a vision of beauty. Her red hair was long and went down her back. Her emerald green eyes sparkled in the moonlight.
“Must you complain always about traveling. ” the second said as she pushed her hood back. She was as beautiful as the first but her hair was blonde with a flip over the left side of her face and in a ponytail. Her golden eyes looked pale in the moonlight.
“Euryale. Stheno. We didn’t come all this way just so I can hear you complain. ” the third pushed her hood back. She had blue hair that was long but didn’t go past her shoulders. She was even more beautiful than the other two. Her crimson red eyes could be seen even in the dark.
“You sure this is going work sister?” Euryale, the red head, asked. “I mean how can a primitive world like this hold the power you told us about. “
“I can some what agree with Euryale. I mean this place doesn’t look magical. ” Stheno, the blonde, said. “Then again, you’re more experienced in magic then us Medusa. “
Medusa turned around to face them. “If Zordon decided to set up shop on this planet then there is magic here. “
“But won’t the mage detect us if we try to tap into one of the lines?” Euryale asked.
Medusa smiled. “I’ve already considered that. Do not worry. “
“If you say so. ” Stheno replied. “Let just hope your plan works sister. Hexuba could find us and I really don’t want to end up like any of old friends. The only reason we wear her pendants is because of our binding contract with her when we first became her students. “
Medusa nodded as Euryale shuttered. Hexuba put all her students through a final test before they could be allowed to leave her service. If they failed the test she would magnify the their darkness and make their bodies become a reflection of what was in their hearts. Euryale’s lover Kordarian, had failed Hexuba’s test and ended becoming a skeleton creature in black armor. Once the sisters learned of others that had failed, they fled Hexuba’s mansion and then made their way to earth, looking for a power to make them stronger than their teacher.
Medusa then pulled out a staff that resembled a serpent. “Now stand beside me sisters. ” Medusa said as her two sisters came to her and put their hands on her shoulders. “Power that sleeps within the ground, Magic older than our lives, I take possession of you now for myself and my sisters. . . give us your power!” she cried as she slammed her staff into the ground.
Golden light started to shine as it started to bathe them in their light.
“I feel it. . . the power. . . ” Euryale said.
“It’s incredible. . . ” Stheno breathed.
“Its what I wanted. . . ” Medusa smiled.
However the energy then exploded.
“Argh!” Euryale cried.
“What’s happening!” Stheno shouted.
“Something going wrong. . . the line is changing. . . . I can’t control it!” Medusa cried.
The golden light soon changed to black as it became a black fog that engulfed them all.
Through out the night only their screams could be heard.
The Next Morning. . .
“. . . what. . . what has happened. . . “
“Medusa?”
“Stheno? Are you alright?” Medusa groaned as she could barely see at the moment. However she felt different then she remembered.
“Yes. . . though I feel strange. . . Euryale?” Stheno called out.
“I’m still breathing. ” the third sister called out. “And I don’t exactly feel right for some reason. . . “
Medusa crawled up painfully as she looked up and saw the sun. She saw a lake beside her.
However the reflection staring back at her was not her own. Her face was still her own, same eyes, same red lips, only her blue hair was now blue snakes. Her body had changed. No longer was it human. She had a monstrous green and purple scaled body with large snake head designs for shoulders, a purple breastplate with an elaborate design. “NO!”
“Medusa?” Euryale called out. “What’s wrong?” Euryale looked down at her self and saw she was covered in green scales. “S. . . scales!?”
Stheno was finally able to see and saw like her two sisters she had scales over her body only hers were purple. “What in the. . . “
“Come to the lake now!” Medusa cried out to them. When they saw her body they gasped but then they saw their own in the lake.
Stheno kept her own face. It was still the same, although her golden eyes seemed a bit more entrancing. She had a monstrous but definitely a feminine body which had purple scales all over it. She wore skimpy yellow armor over her torso and had a green gem as a necklace.
Euryale could mostly have been the most dramatic change. She had green scales all over her now monstrous but still feminine body and wore a blue breastplate. Her face was just as she remembered it. It was that she now had white feathery wings on her back.
“What the hell happened to us?” Euryale demanded of Medusa. “You said nothing could go wrong!”
“I know!” Medusa snapped. “Nothing should have gone wrong!”
Stheno was boiling over at this point and decided to hit something. The closest thing there was to bash was a tree. “Rah!” she cried as she punched the tree.
She was not expecting her hand to go right through the tree and have it fall knocking down several other trees. Medusa and Euryale looked at Stheno who was in shock at what she had done.
“Damn Stheno. I knew you were the most physically strongest of us all. . . but you were never that strong. ” Euryale replied.
Medusa looked thoughtful. “Perhaps it did work. . . ” her sisters looked at her. “Our spell, however the purity of the lines could have caused the power we drew into ourselves to change us, to reflect images in our subconscious and amplify our own special gifts. “
“I always did work out the most and practiced on battle magic. ” Stheno said. “Euryale liked to use illusions and levitations. “
Medusa grinned as she closed her eyes and then became a copy of Stheno’s new form. “And I always liked impersonating others. ” she said in Stheno’s voice.
“Now that. . . is just plain creepy. ” Stheno shivered as Medusa changed back to her new body.
Euryale laughed as she suddenly found herself in the air thanks to her new wings flapping upward. “Hey! Someone help get me down!” she cried. Medusa and Stheno laughed for a while before deciding to use magic to bring Euryale back to earth. She then smiled. “That was fun. I wonder what other powers we have. “
Just then they heard a rustling in the back and saw several humans come out throwing rocks at them.
“Primitive beasts!” Medusa shouted enraged that these creatures were attacking her with crude weapons. Her hair/snakes came alive and started rising up with their eyes open and red. “Since you throw rocks at me why don’t I return the gesture!” it was then from the snakes red beams came out and all of them engulfed on of the humans. Once the light passed, he had become a stone statue. As the human men looked on the creature in fear Medusa just laughed. “Now this is interesting. . . “
“We all look like snakes in a way. . . can we turn people into stone too?” Euryale mused.
“Let’s find out. ” Stheno smirked as she held a human in her grasp. Suddenly her ponytail became a cobra which rapped around her victims neck. The squirms and screams he made delighted her. “This music to my ears!” she laughed as the cobra bit him in the neck and he turned to stone forever looking like he was in pain.
Euryale flew over head and made a bow appear in her hands. She then shot arrows at the humans from the sky and then nailed on to a tree. She then landed on the ground and faced him. “Time to become part of our collection. ” she smirked as her long red hair came together and became a boa constrictor and wrapped itself around the poor man draining the life out of him until it bit him and he turned to stone. She saw two more people come at her but as she put her hand up the two men fell down screaming clawing at themselves in terror and fear. She soon saw why. She created the illusion of spiders crawling on their faces.
“Look at us. Look at how much more powerful we have become. ” Medusa laughed as she threw side another human as if he were a rag doll.
“I wonder what this necklace does. ” Stheno wondered as she held it in her hands. Suddenly a a purple energy snake was projected from her necklace, which wrapped around one of the humans as a real serpent, and it then dissolved him as orange energy, then returned to her necklace as purple energy. She looked at the necklace and saw the human trapped inside her necklace. She smirked as she felt dual advantages to this power. She could capture people and put them into her necklace and then drain them of their power until they no longer existed. “Oh this is fantastic!” She laughed.
Finally there was only one human left out of a group of ten. All of the others were now stone statues. Medusa, Stheno and Euryale came together and stalked the last human down who was adverting his gaze from them. He had seen them from a distance and they were evil creatures but their beauty rivaled that of the goddesses.
“What manner of creature are you?” he breathed.
Medusa looked at the human who would not look at her before smirking as an idea came to mind. “We are the Gorgon Sisters mortal. ” she laughed.
“Gorgon?” he asked.
“In your tongue the word Gorgon means snake. ” Euryale said smugly.
“But of course you wouldn’t know that being such an uneducated species. ” Stheno added. “I am Stheno, the youngest and strongest sister. “
“I am Euryale, the middle and trickster sister. “
“And I am Medusa, the oldest and most beautiful of the three. Whenever one of your kind dares to look at any of our faces, especially mine, you are cursed to become stone. ” She then kicked the man down a hill. “Now go! Leave us and beware of us mortal!”
As the man ran down the hill crying and screaming, the Gorgon Sisters laughed their heads off. “You just scared the living shit out of that man Medusa!” Stheno laughed hard against the tree.
“Well he deserved it for daring to attack us. ” Medusa laughed. Euryale also laughed as well. “Yeah. . . but I think we are about to become ingrained as legends to this race. . . and its fitting too!”
Stheno looked at herself in the lake and posed with her new body. “You know something. . . I really don’t care if I can’t go back to looking like my old self any more. I LOVE this body AND the power I have!”
“So do I!” Euryale agreed. “We could take on anything in the universe!”
Medusa then brought them back to earth. “I wouldn’t go that far. . . at least not yet. ” the two sisters looked at Medusa. “We just got these bodies. We haven’t even practiced with our new powers and that’s what we are going to do on this planet. “
“And then what?” Stheno asked.
“We wait for Hexuba of course. ” Medusa smirked. Her sisters stared at her. “When she does come. . . she will be in for a surprise of her life. “
Stheno smiled when she saw the gleam in Medusa’s eyes. “You have a plan?”
Medusa smirked. “Don’t I always?”
Three Months Later. . .
A portal suddenly opened and then several figures stepped out. First was a monster monster wrapped up like a mummy, with a pointy black colored eye mask covering his red face. Another was a tribal man looking monster with an over sized mask. Another was a six armed blue skinned monster.
Finally two figures came out together. One was a massive gold and blue pharaoh creature with an apparently purple-irised eye gem on her belt and forehead. The other was an enchantress of sorts with gold/blue striped cones sticking up from her shoulders and head. She had a gold face covered with a mouth veil, and on the backs of her hands were blue-irised golden versions of the same eye emblem as the pharaoh female.
“Crumummy, Freeky Tiki, Rumbler, find the three sisters and bring them to us. ” the enchantress ordered.
Like mindless drones the nodded. “Yes Hexuba. “
Hexuba rubbed her hands together smiling. Now we shall see what your fates are. She then looked at the pharaoh who didn’t look at her. “Rykon don’t start with me. You didn’t get any special treatment from me and you’re my niece. “
“They are my friends Hexuba. ” Rykon sighed. She couldn’t call the Great Hexuba her aunt, Hexuba had ingrained that fact in her since day one. Unlike almost of her students, she managed to pass the final test, keep her memories and personality in tact and was granted the ability to shape shift along with her other powers. “They don’t deserve to be turned into mindless drones. “
“They fled from me and they have to pay the price for it. ” Hexuba stated. “Besides it will all be over soon. What chance do three gifted but human girls have against three monsters such as the ones I have sent?”
Her question was answered by a yell that was cried out three times. With each yell a stone statue was thrown right at Hexuba’s feet. First was Rumbler, next was Freeky Tiki and then finally Crumummy.
“I believe teacher, that the question should have been. . . ” Medusa said coming out of the trees dusting her hands off and playing with one of her snake hairs. She then snapped her fingers and then Stheno came out of the forest but had a large bolder over her head and then Euryale came down from the sky using her wings. “. . . is what chance did they have against the Gorgon Sisters?”
Rykon smiled inwardly as Hexuba came forward. “So you think you threaten me. . . you need to be taught to respect your elders!”
“And you need to learn to respect us witch! Take this!” Stheno roared as she threw the boulder at Hexuba.
“Golden Lightning!” She cried out blasting the boulder to pieces before it reached her. She then put her hands out and a crystal ball appeared. “Magic ball, destroy their hope. Tie them up with electric rope!” Three blue energy ropes came at the three sisters and yet all they did was go through them. “What?”
“Something wrong?” Rykon asked from behind Hexuba.
“Gah!” Hexuba cried. “Don’t sneak up on me like that! Just what do you think you are. . . ” she started but then saw a second Rykon right where she saw Rykon last. As she looked at the Rykon in front of her it then changed into Medusa who then hit her in the stomach making her drop her crystal ball.
“Go forth my snakes and keep her contained!” Medusa cried as her head snakes came to life. Some of her snakes zapped Hexuba’s hand turning them to stone while the others zapped her crystal ball turning it to stone.
“You think my crystal ball is all I have to use against you!” Hexuba shouted as she used her own magic to counter the stone spell but then felt constricted as a boa constrictor was now wrapped around her. Euryale smirked as her snake hair squeezed Hexuba and then she flew up ward still holding the witch.
“How does it feel Hexuba! To be the victim! Like my lover was!” Euryale roared.
“You can’t keep me like this forever!” Hexuba shouted.
“No. . . but I can contain you. ” Stheno smirked looking at Medusa who nodded and said, “Drop her Euryale!”
Euryale’s snake let go of Hexuba. As she fell to earth, Stheno projected a purple energy snake from her necklace, which wrapped around Hexuba as a real serpent, and it then dissolved her as orange energy, then returned to her necklace as purple energy. She looked at the necklace and saw Euryale and Medusa by her side.
“Did we get her?” Euryale asked.
Stheno smirked as she showed them the necklace with Hexuba trapped inside. “Oh yes!”
Medusa laughed. “At last. Now the students have surpassed the tyrant. “
“I’ll take that as a complement. “
The Gorgon Sisters turned around. . . and faced Hexuba standing before them. Rykon was also surprised.
“But that’s not possible! You’re trapped inside my necklace!” Stheno cried in disbelief looking at her necklace only to see the Hexuba there to crumble to dust.
“A copy of myself. One I have used to test all of my students. ” Hexuba replied. “Congratulations. In over 5000 years none of my students has ever defeated my copy. Those that have passed have only be able to force the fight to a draw. “
The Gorgon Sisters just stared at Hexuba. “You mean this was our final test?!” Euryale shouted.
“But we fled from you wanting to become stronger than you. ” Medusa started.
Hexuba smiled behind her veil. “Exactly. You LEFT my mansion to explore other places and to become stronger. You thought with your heads unlike all of my other students. ” She then looked on at their forms. “I must say the forms you now have are quite beautiful and seductive. Not many male creatures will be able to resist your charms. Your pendants have made the spell work out well. “
Stheno blinked in realization. “. . . you never turned the others into monsters during the final test. . . it was those pendants of yours we wore when we came under your schooling!”
“Of course. However how its triggered depends on the individual. For you three, when you used the Ley Line in this area, the magic didn’t mix completely with the magic of your pendants. Thus the magical backlash resulted in your new forms. ” Hexuba said.
Medusa smirked. “Heh. What a dirty trick. . . it seems you have more tricks than I ever thought Hexuba. “
“Indeed. However you can no longer learn from me. You’ve reached the end of your studies with me. ” Hexuba said as she waved her hand and three boxes appeared, one for each of the sisters. They each opened their box. In Stetho’s box was gold/purple pointed mask with an elaborate design as well as a golden Hexuba gem. In Euryale’s box was a green/gold pointed mask with a design similar to Stetho’s as well as a golden Hexuba gem. Finally in Medusa’s box were two small gold eyes of Hexuba. Also was a golden mask with red jewels on the forehead. The eyeholes were narrow to give a dangerous look to the wearer and there were three spikes on each side of the mask.
“The Golden Eyes and Masks of Sorcery. ” Hexuba said. “The highest honor that can I present to my students. You are now free of my guidance and do as you please. If you would allow me?” the sisters nodded as Hexuba raised her hands and the golden eye gems went up and then attached themselves to the sisters. Stetho’s on her forehead, Euryale’s on her belt and Medusa had one eye on the side of each of her biceps. They then put the masks over their eyes. They looked at each other and smiled. They now felt even more powerful than before and now they were finally able to go their own way without working about their former mistress.
“Kneel and I shall finish our ceremony with the giving of names based on yourselves. ” Hexuba said to them all as they did that. She placed her hand on Euryale first. “Euryale, a lady of deception, a practitioner of illusions and a creature of flight. Hence forth you shall be called Deceptra, the Winged Gorgon of Illusion. ” Euryale smiled at her new name. It did suit her after all.
Hexuba then put her hand on Stetho’s shoulder. “Stetho, strong, powerful but also beautiful, cunning, and swift. You shall be known as Maronda, the Spirited Gorgon of Power. ” Stetho approved of her new name. She was a spirited girl and with the spirits of mortals she was consuming these days, she had spirit to share.
Finally Hexuba came across Medusa and put both hands on her. “Medusa, vicious, seductive, a temptress through and through, and a mistress of the arts of change magic. You are now Impostra, the Queen Gorgon of Shapes. “
“Impostra. . . I like the sound of that. ” Medusa/Impostra smiled.
“Rise my friends. ” Hexuba said to the three. She then looked over at Rykon. “Take our stoned friends back home my dear. I shall be with you shortly. “
Rykon nodded and said her goodbyes to the three as a portal appeared and she along with the stoned monsters vanished.
“As a group you all very powerful. But as we know no one lives forever. ” Hexuba said. “That is my final lesson. ” With that Hexuba left through the still open portal and then the portal closed.
“So now what do we do. . . Impostra?” Maronda asked getting a feel for her sister new name.
“First let’s keep to calling ourselves by our new names when there is no one around. ” Impostra said to Maronda and Deceptra. “Playing with those humans for now is very entertaining. Plus I want to see how much more we can take from this ley line. “
“Still no matter how powerful we become. . . we can’t cheat death. ” Deceptra said.
“Oh there are ways to cheat death. “
All three Gorgons looked around and saw a figure in black come to them. He was human but he looked much more civilized the people on this planet. Not to mention there was a power they all knew coming from him.
Shadow Grid power.
Impostra bowed. “To what do we owe the honor of being in the presence of a Shadow Mage?”
“Shadow Lord actually. ” the man in black said. “I am here to offer you a chance at immortality in exchange for a favor from each of you. Just one favor each and its nothing eternal. “
The girls looked intrigued and wondered what else could happen. Finally Maronda spoke. “Who are you?”
The Shadow Lord smiled. “Lord Mirabilis. “
Twenty years later. . .
The Gorgon Sisters made Greece their home. Terrorizing the humans there, turning some into stone, making others work as slaves for them. Over the last twenty years since their final exam from Hexuba, they had drained power from the Ley Line become even more power than before. As for what Lord Mirabilis gave them for immortality, the favors he asked for would start after they left earth and he would give them time to prepare to meet those favors in advance so they could wrap up what ever it was they they were doing correctly.
The Gorgon sisters before their change, especially Maronda, had loved jewels. Now however jewels had become an obsession with them. They couldn’t have enough. With her transformation into her Gorgon self, Maronda now had the ability to sense where jewels and rare gems were in the earth. And the earth had many rare items in the ground. Impostra whipped her slaves as Deceptra flew over them threaten the workers with arrows while Maronda directed traffic so to speak as found gems of great value as well as great power.
Maronda then opened the vault where they kept their gems and scooped a large amount. “We are so filthy rich! We have more jewels than I know what do with!”
“All of these rare jewels are just sitting in his backwater world just rotting away. ” Deceptra smirked as he looked at several other gems in her hands, mainly emeralds. “What do you think Maronda? They bring out the green in my scales don’t you agree. “
Maronda smirked. “You’re becoming just as big a gem freak as me sister. Just remember though we aren’t keeping all of these gems for our selves. We are going to have sell them for cash in the universal market. “
“Indeed. ” Impostra replied coming into the vault to see her sisters. She then looked at what the humans had dug up for them. “Gems are the only thing on this world that we can take with us that would be worth any amount of currency in the universe. “
“How long until there isn’t a point for us to stay on this world anymore?” Deceptra asked.
“Another five years I think. ” Impostra stretched back. “Any longer and then the old man in the tube will surely find out we’ve been on this world. “
“Question though. What do we do with the ore that the humans dug up?” Maronda asked. “Its a metal that’s for sure but I don’t see a use for it. “
“I do though. ” Mirabilis appeared behind Maronda causing her to fall over. “L. . . Lord Mirabilis!”
“I have come to call upon the favor you owe me Maronda. ” Mirabilis said. Maronda bowed before Mirabilis. “What is your wish?”
“The ore you have unearthed is called adamantium. Its an incredibly rare metal, stronger than Triforian Silver, that was exhausted in many parts of the galaxy long ago. Few remember it even existed. The earth seems to have stores of it. I want what you have it. . . ” Mirabilis replied as he then eyed five crystals to the side. One was green and looked like there were swirling winds in it, another was blue which looked as if water was in it. A third was yellow and sparked lightning. The fourth was pink and had an image of flowers in it. The final one was red and it burned bright like fire. “. . . And the elemental crystals you found. “
Maronda would have said yes but she knew that elemental crystals such as those were unbelievably rare to find. She and her sister couldn’t believe there were any in the earth. However a look from Impostra made her say yes. Mirabilis then snapped his fingers and the ore as well as the crystals were gone he looked at the other two sisters. “I shall call upon your favors at a later date. Until then. ” Mirabilis said vanishing into shadows.
Maronda, Impostra, and Deceptra all breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank god that’s over. ” Maronda breathed.
“I wonder though. . . what exactly is he going to do with them though?” Impostra asked.
In the Shadow Vortex, Mirabilis then appeared and laid down the adamantium ore and the five crystals. He then called out to the void. “A favor now for a favor later Shadow. “
“Agreed Mirabilis. ” The voice of Shadow spoke from the darkness. “Name it when you want it. “
Mirabilis then turned around and vanished. Seconds later, Shadow came into the dim light of the Shadow Vortex and then put his hand out to make the items Mirabilis had brought to him vanish.
Behind his mask, Shadow smirked as he spoke aloud. “Melchior. . . I’m sending you materials for my job order. Think you can get it done within 975 years?”
Five Years Later. . .
God what a scared rabbit this Perceus is. Impostra thought as she looked at the young man hiding behind his shield. He come with two dozen other men to come kill her and her sisters. Impostra told them to keep getting their beauty sleep as she went out to face the intruders. She could only imagine shock on their faces when they saw all the stone statues. Once their slaves had done their job and they no longer needed them, turned them to stone. She smirked looking at the would be hero, the only human still made of flesh and not of stone. I guess over the last 25 years we’ve become the horror stories for parents to tell their children at bed time. ‘Be bad and the Gorgon Sisters will turn you to stone. ‘ She then looked at the young man and then smiled. Why not. . . I feel giving today.
She then walked out to the center of the room where Perceus was and looked in the reflective shield. She started mock screaming and started to act. “AH! The horror! The horror!” She then used her power to make it appear that she was turning to stone. “I can’t be turning into stone! I am Medusa!”
“Die foul Gorgon!” Perceus shouted as stabbed Impostra in the stomach but it only worked because she allowed it.
She then spat out fake blood to the man. “Well met Hero. . . but unlike me. . . my sisters are immortal. They will avenge my death by adding you to our collection. ” she laughed.
“Rah!” Perceus cried as he then beheaded Impostra. Her mask fell to the ground as her head came off of her body. Perceus then put her head into a bag.
“What’s going on here!” Maronda shouted getting out of her room. “Medusa! I thought you said. . . ” She stopped as she saw Impostra’s headless body. “You bastard! You killed my sister!”
“What!” Deceptra shouted coming out of the room.
Perceus saw their figures before hiding behind his shield and then took off with Impostra’s head. Maronda then slammed her fist against the wall. “Damn it! We’ve been tricked!”
“We gave Mirabilis what he wanted from you only to find out that he betrayed us. “
“Oh no he didn’t. “
Maronda and Deceptra froze as they hear Impostra’s laughing voice and then saw her mask glow golden red.
“Impostra?” Maronda blinked.
All they got was her laugh as the mask then flew off.
“Come on we got to follow that mask!” Deceptra said.
“Mind giving me a snake back flight?” Maronda asked.
Deceptra merely started flying up and then swooped down and picked up Maronda and carried her as she flew after the mask. “Hey Maronda! Don’t start moving a lot okay. You aren’t exactly lightweight!”
“And you aren’t exactly strong like me!” Maronda replied. “Now keep flying or we are going to lose sight of that mask!”
Ignoring Maronda’s comments, Deceptra just kept flying.
In a forest not too far from their lair, a young Athenian girl with short brown hair and blue eyes is busy collecting berries. Suddenly she hears a noise beside her. When she turns around she finds a golden mask on the ground.
Curious and a bit playful, she then puts the mask on her face.
The sight of a bunny hopping in front of her is the last thing the girl ever sees before darkness.
Maronda and Deceptra then spot the mask entering a forest and land to chase it. Once they find it, they see its on a young girl only when they reach her she starts to change.
“Rgh. . . argh. . . . ” the girl grunts and moans as her body starts to be covered in purple-green scales.
“What the. . . ?” Deceptra started in shock.
“If that girls got Impostra’s mask and she’s getting her scales. . . can it mean that. . . ” Maronda started.
“Yes. . . ” Impostra’s voice came from the girl before finally a flash of dark light occurred and standing before them was Impostra. “I’m back!”
Maronda and Deceptra hugged their sister. “You’re alive!” Deceptra shouted.
“Not just alive. . . I am immortal. As are all of you. ” Impostra replied.
“Mirabilis really did do what he said. ” Maronda gasped. “He put our souls into our masks and made the masks totally indestructible. “
“Now whenever we die, all we have to do to live is just have a girl put on our mask and we can take her for our host. ” Impostra smirked. “You see I wanted that brat Perceus to kill me, to see if I really have become truly immortal. . . and now I have. ” She then starts to laugh as did Maronda and Deceptra. “Come now my sisters. Its time we packed our bags and opened a portal to take us to Onyx. Its time to get ourselves into the swing of things in the universe once again. The earth has been good to us these last 25 years but its time to move on with our immortal existences. “
“Agreed sister. ” Maronda said. “Its time to see how the universe can come are to us. “
“I can’t wait to see how much we outclass other villains. ” Deceptra smirked.
Laughing, the Gorgon Sisters vanished to their lair. An hour later they gathered all of their belongings and left the earth without Zordon learning they had ever been on earth.
And although they had left, they would never be forgotten by the people of earth.
For they had become legends.
