pair of comfortable dark green jeans and a loose sweater, wearing

smooth ground of the flattened mound. Only a tiny scar of closure lay
upon the smooth mound. It gave her enough for the potion to seep in
without LifeCore getting out.
With this you ll be thrown into another dimension that will keep
you from traveling in ours and send you back to where you came
from. I worked on this for months now. You ll not harm this world or
its people again, you bastard!
Electra threw the glass container on top of the mound. She
watched as it spread over the surface of the dark piece of rock. She
slowly inched back as it caressed around the crack. Electra s back
bumped into the coffin of the Gremlorr. Nearly falling, she quickly
reached out to steady herself when the ground shook slightly.
It stopped. The shaking had only been mild, but enough to give
her concern. Her view focused on the liquid oozing around the seal on
the mound. It started growing and changing colors from pale gold to a
dark fiery orange. The potion was working. Soon it would totally seep
through the crack and into LifeCore s tomb!
You re so dramatic, Electra.
Electra jerked her head around to see a slightly tall, voluptuous
woman in a knit slack suit of dark brown standing near her,
surrounded by a few Gobleens, Gremlorr s old minions. What the
hell are you doing here, Frieda. Get out!
I don t think so, Electra. And that s why. Electra jerked her
head towards the mound where Frieda pointed.
Her mouth opened in shock as she saw that the crack opened and
steam rose from the widened fissure No, he ll come back. Frieda you
stupid fool!
Frieda s diabolical laughter was one of the last things Electra
heard as the ground rumbled fiercely and sparks shot out from the
fissure. It widened. She felt LifeCore awaken and an eerie glow
emitted from the opening.
Things moved too fast for Electra. The huge Gobleens came up
behind the coffins and at least two shoved on the coffins, Electra was
thrust forward with the coffins. The fissure opened wider as she tried
to stop the creatures from pushing the coffins and herself towards the
fissure.
So long, Electra. I won t be needing you in this world or this
necklace.
Electra turned her head to briefly see Frieda throwing a glowing
necklace towards her. The center looked like a piece of the rock

formed from LifeCore. It couldn t be, she thought. Frieda had been in
contact with LifeCore all this time?!
You fucking, bitch!
Electra thrust out a hand and a powerful ray of energy shot
towards the Gobleens. They were blown backwards into Frieda and
fell on top of the witch. But the room started shaking violently now.
The fissure widened to a big maw. Winds whipped at Electra s heels.
She screamed out as first one coffin knocked her back towards the
opening and then the other slid forcefully against the first one.
The necklace landed on her chest. She fell and lost her balance.
The huge hole with its bursting flames glowed beneath, awaited her.
The coffins and she slid into the deep abyss below. She screamed out,
looking upwards. She thrust her might into the gaping hole as she
continued to fall. The hole sealed and the caverns above fell down
into the cavernous abyss with her into the never, seemingly, endless
pit of doom...
