Chapter 10 To The Lair Of Medusa
At Stygia Garden...
"Why did the Djinns leave us here?!" asked Fluttershy.
"They believe in the words of the Mares of Diomedes. They believe we all will died," said Discord.
"That... is a rude one!" said Rarity while she's watching the Djinns riding the Scorpiochs away with the two Griffon brothers.
"At least... their leader didn't leave us," replied Applejack.
"GAAAHHH!" said Sheikh.
"And those two Griffons had give us a gift," said Pinkie Pie and she's rubbing the shield made from skin of Scorpioch.
"Wait a minute..." said Rainbow Dash.
"What is it Rainbow Dash?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Where are the Princesses?!" asked Draco and Ixas.
In the Swamp...
"Now... clear the minds of both of us," said Celestia and she's take a water to wash her face.
"That is what I wanted to do too," said Luna and she's rubbing her temples.
"BOOM!"
"Why are you here?!" asked Celestia.
"Aren't you going to call me... father?" asked Zeus.
"Or even your own uncle?" asked Hades.
"Can you give us what we wanted to know?!" asked Luna.
"You two and Discord knew who you all are! My bloodline!" said Zeus.
"And you two can't possibly defeat Lucifer or Cetus! All of your friends will died! And Equestria will fall!" said Hades
"So what exactly brought you two here?!" asked Celestia.
"Me and your father are here to take you two and Discord back to Olympus!" replied Hades.
"You are my bloodline! And you two and Discord are Goddesses and God! You have to return Olympus and live like the Gods!" said Zeus.
"We won't leave Equestria get suffered!" said Luna.
"We will give you all one change only!" said Zeus.
"Good. Because we don't want another one!" repleid Celestia.
"And tell Lucifer that me and my sister will go to meet him soon!" said Luna and she's walk away from them with her older sister.
"Apollonia, Artemis!" said Hades and the girls turn to look back at him and Zeus.
"This coin will be very valuable to all of you," said Hades and he's throw a golden coin to Luna and she's grab it.
"Bye..." said Hades and he's disappear in black smoke while Zeus transforms into an eagle and fly away.
Later at the Stygia Garden...
"Princesses!" said Fluttershy and she's run to hug them with Pinkie Pie.
"Is everything okay?" asked Applejack.
"You can tell us anything Princesses," said Rarity but they both are still in silence for 5 minutes.
"Everypony had heard what did those mares had said..." said Luna.
"But to make that go wrong. We need your help. Me and Luna can't do this all alone," said Celestia.
"You can count on us Princesses!" said Spike.
"Me and my friends will do anything to save Twilight!" said Rainbow Dash and she's walk to go on side of the Princesses with her friends, including Discord.
"So... how about you guys?" asked Fluttershy.
"The Djinns need to stop the Plagues by the Gods!" said Shiekh.
"If you all believe that there still a way..." said Ixas and Eusebios goes on his side as a sign of join with him and the others.
"I didn't like to see Equestria get covered in the sea..." replied Solon.
"How about you Draco?" asked Rainbow Dash and Draco gives her a nod as a sign that he will join them.
"Then we have an agreement..." said Celestia.
"We all will go to the Underworld!" said Luna.
"We will confront Medusa!" said Celestia and Luna.
"GRRAAGGHHH!" shouted Sheikh and crash his staff on the ground.
They start to set off another journey, to find the entrance of the Underworld and to the Lair of Medusa.
All of them travel across the land of desert, volcanic land for many days and finally they have reach to the entrance of the Underworld.
Unbeknownst to all of them, the minion of Lucifer that created by himself, Skeleton King is following them.
At the Entrance of the Underworld...
"Here we are... the Underworld..." said Discord and he's take everypony to the bridge that lead them all to the River Styx.
"This is the River Styx, the River of Death." said Discord.
"So... what now?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Wait for Charon," replied Luna.
"Who?" asked Rarity.
"The ferry-stallion that can take us to everywhere we want in the Underworld," said Celestia.
"If I remember correctly, he will only take the ones that already died," said Discord.
"Sheikh Suleimare, would you be honor to do this?" asked Celestia and she's give the golden coin
that she got from her uncle to him. Sheikh Suleimare takes it with him and walk at the edge of the bridge
and throw the golden coin into the fog of the river.
"Kashariko." said Sheikh and then the fire is appear in the fog and the illusion of a small ship is come out.
The fire came closer and closer and finally, the two undead Seaponies with chain had swim out and drag the small ship out from the fog.
At the edge of the ship is a skeleton Unicorn Pony, Charon, the one who control the ship.
"For the living beings, choose the place..." said Charon.
"To the Lair of Medusa." said Celestia.
Later on the Ship...
"What will happen when reach in Lair of Medusa?" asked Ixas.
"Just kill another monster," said Eusebios.
"Discord... tell them..." said Luna.
"Medusa is once a very beautiful mare. More beautiful than your friend Rarity.
Her beauty is the cause that curse her. Poseidon can't stop himself about 'do such of thing' at her.
When he do that by force her, Medusa asks the protection from Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. But she didn't.
When Poseidon start to ravish her, Athena had enough with the disgusting of what she had saw.
Athena had cursed Medusa to be no longer wanted of any stallions. Look at her face at one time,
every living beings will be turn into stone along with its soul." replied Discord.
"The mares can't go in there. It is the only way to make sure that she will not hurt the mares like her," said Celestia.
"So it's up to Discord, Spike, the Djinn and the rest you stallions," replied Luna.
"Understood," said Draco.
"We will do our best!" said Spike.
"You both can count on me!" said Discord.
"Well... this is what you all need to learn about Medusa." said Luna.
