     " That's enough, Amy, stop."
     " No."
     " You might throw up."
     " I know I almost did, but I didn't..so there!" Amy was 
determined.
     " There's always a first time for everything."
     " You worry too much sometimes, Lita." Said Amy as she picked 
up her Graviton Bar MK 3 and started to do her third set of barbell 
curls.
      After their respective triumphs at the Drexcom convention, 
Amy and Lita went on a short vacation on the island of Kawaii. Lita 
had never been to Hawaii before and they spent an entire week 
resting, swimming, and eating. They were too busy having fun to 
work out, so when they got back home they hit their magical gym 
early the next day.
     Amy remembered how good her muscles felt after she pushed 
herself hard that one day when she finished her software project, 
so she decided to try it again, but this time she wanted to test 
her limits. Three sets of all exercises were taken to total 
failure, resulting in Amy feeling sick to her stomach, but it was 
worth it when she went to the mirror and saw how huge her pumped 
muscles got. Her biceps swelling larger and larger in size each 
time she pumped them. Business meetings kept her so busy that she 
didn't work out until a week later and to her surprise, she 
improved in strength. It turned out to be easier for them both to 
work out only once a week, which left them more time to do the 
things that needed to be done. But those workouts increased in 
intensity as the girls grew in strength.
     Amy started to churn out rep after rep, gritting her teeth as 
the count got higher and the weight grew heavier. When the final 
rep was completed and Amy took in huge gulps of air, her tank top 
straining to keep her heaving breasts covered. As was her custom, 
she went to the mirror and started to flex her massive arms. Lita 
couldn't figure out why Amy's biceps expanded as much as they did, 
almost three times their size when relaxed. 
      Amy then lowered her arms and lifted her ribcage. Her nipples 
started to lengthen and fatten. Lita guessed that they were now 
close to five inches in length and two inches in diameter. She saw 
a small, contented smile Amy's flushed face.
      Later Lita reflected on Amy's changes. How she had gotten so 
much bigger and stronger. Lita had to admit that she herself had 
improved in strength, having graduated to Amy's Graviton bar MK.2, 
using setting 5 for her exercises, 5 out of 100. Amy was now up to 
setting 25 on her MK. 3. Their magical workout area Lita had to 
admit was clever, the weights they were handling far exceeded what 
any conventional building techniques or materials could support.
     As she walked to the store to buy something special for 
dinner, she tried to assess how strong Amy really was. She 
remembered Amy's telling of the contest on Gigatonia, how she took 
over for Superman and almost won. After some mental calculations 
Lita's spirits rose, she would be stronger than Superman by now! 
With that realization she started to walk with a spring in her step 
and her chest thrust out.
       Lita could feel her shirt stretch tighter around her own 
huge, firm bosom. This made her think about Amy again, how big and 
firm her breasts had become. Amy was not shy about showing then off 
either, choosing to wear tight cotton shirts that clung to her 
bulging, upper body muscles while the plunging necklines displayed 
vast her cleavage, her nipples forming thick mounds on her breasts. 
Amy also started wearing belts with her outfits, despite the fact 
her waist was now 22 inches rather than 18. Since the increase was 
due to thicker abdominal and lower back muscles, Amy wasn't 
concerned. The combination of Amy's huge breasts, tiny belted 
waistline and full hips gave her a topheavy hourglass figure. She 
remembered Amy telling her about a theory presented in her 
'Barbarian Sexuality' class.about how men would get energized when 
they looked at beautiful women with big breasts and nice figures. 
Was Amy doing a field test of that theory? 
      Lita then remembered how Amy conducted herself in public. How 
could someone show so much cleavage and yet act so modest? When men 
would stare at her breasts she would not get angry or annoyed. As a 
matter of fact a lot of the people at the stores and shops that Amy 
patronized had gotten accustomed to her looks. Even the women 
didn't look at her like a tramp anymore and would chuckle if a 
tourist made him or herself conspicuous by staring at Amy's 
endowments. When some guy looked at her the wrong way, Amy would 
just arrange a lock of her hair causing her bicep to bulge, and 
that would be the end of that.
     Cheerful greetings were exchanged at the grocery store where 
they did most of their shopping and thirty minutes later, laden 
with two bags of goodies, Lita started her trip back home.
      She was not alone.
     2
   "I know you're there. Don't try anything stupid." Lita thought 
as she detected five shapes following her at a distance. Four big 
ones and one just as tall but of a more slender build. They could 
not hide their size by using stealth techniques, Lita having 
learned how to ascertain such things from Amy. She didn't want to 
let them know that she knew of their following her, so she kept up 
her pace until she got to the nearly finished construction site 
near Amy's home. When she came to a street lamp that gave revealing 
light, she calmly put down her grocery bags and confronted her 
disappearing tag-alongs.
     " I'm here..I'm ready.show yourselves!" Lita said unafraid.
     Five figures detached themselves from the darkness. The one 
slender shape took several steps forward to stand not more than ten 
feet away from Lita, its head hidden from view by a dark hood. Lita 
assumed her battle stance when the figure made a small gesture with 
its outstretched arm.
     A wave of nausea and weakness overtook Lita, sapping her 
strength. The remaining shadows became corporeal when they leapt 
into action. Her legs becoming restrained by two of them while the 
third pinned her arms behind her back painfully. The fourth then 
started to rain bone-crunching punches on Lita's jaw.
    Two of the blows found their mark, the third one didn't.
    Lita felt her strength surge throughout her body as quickly as 
it had left her. Within a matter of seconds a pile of defeated foes 
found itself at the feet of the spell-caster. Before another spell 
was thrown, Lita grabbed the offending hand and twisted it around 
the cloaked figures back. A yelp of pain escaped from its throat.
    " I surrender.please, don't hurt me." The soft, feminine voice 
caught Lita off guard.
     Lita removed the concealing hood, which revealed an older, but 
very beautiful woman. She stood as tall as Lita and had big brown 
eyes and long, brown hair arranged in a ponytail. A small tiara 
adorned her forehead.
     As Lita looked into her eyes, she knew that she'd seen her 
before somewhere, somewhere from a distant time...
    " Mom?" Lita found herself saying.
    A smile found its way on the woman's face.
    " Althena, it is you, its..It's a miracle."
    "Who? My name is Lita."
    " So that's your name now? I suppose its possible. But I am not 
your mother however, even though I would be proud if it were true. 
But your mother is my distant ancestor from when Queen Serenity 
ruled the Moon Kingdom so many years ago."
     " It's true..I know it's true." Said Lita softly.
     " I'm sorry for the assault, but I had to make sure you were 
ready for the task..."
     " Wait just a minute." Said Lita, cutting her off. "I know 
where this is going. Why should I help you?"
      "An ancient evil has reawakened, and it is very powerful, too 
powerful for me and my guards. The only one that could help prevent 
another holocaust is the true Princess of Jupiter.you. Our people 
need to see that their Princess is able to defend them as did your 
ancestor during the invasion of the Negaverse."
     Something inside Lita started to stir. My planet.my home.I.  I 
don't remember it. The Sailor Senchi part of her wanted to help 
those in need, a calling that she couldn't ignore. But she was also 
curious about Jupiter. If the kingdom of Jupiter still exists, why 
hasn't modern technology detected it? Forgetting about dinner.she 
made her choice.
    " I will go."
     3
     Lita's mouth gaped wide open as she saw the capital city of 
the Kingdom of Jupiter. Everything was scaled larger than what was 
normal on earth. Pillars, streets, fountains and buildings were all 
like huge pieces of sculpture. It reminded Lita of Gotham City in 
its style of architecture, but far larger.
     Lita discovered that the Jupiter Kingdom was located deep 
within the planet itself. A self-perpetuating light-source provided 
the needed illumination for the sustentation of life. The city's 
location made it impossible for it to be detected by the people of 
earth. Were the Kingdoms of Mercury, Venus and Mars hidden the same 
way?
     Lita and her mother's ancestor, Constance, walked hand in hand 
throughout the city. Lita was now convinced that Constance was 
telling the truth about being her mother's ancestor. She was 
dressed in a long clinging gown that revealed a very curvaceous 
figure, the low cut neckline displayed large, beautiful breasts.  
     " So it's from my mom that I got my...endowments." Lita 
thought. " I hope I look half as good when I'm her age."
     The subjects of the Jupiter Kingdom stared at them when they 
visited the gardens and parks, some kneeling as they passed. 
     The Royal Palace itself was a massive edifice. The rooms and 
halls were huge and spacious. A river ran through the palace and 
ended in an inside waterfall that must have been close to three 
hundred feet high.
     In the center of the throne room was a large jewel that must 
have been 10 feet tall, and a deeper color green than the finest 
emerald. It seemed to rotate in mid-air, levitated by an unseen 
power. Lita was fascinated and couldn't keep herself from trying to 
look deeper and deeper into the crystal facets.
     " I see you have found our portal to the outside worlds. For 
generations the Royal Family had the power to look into the crystal 
and see events all over the universe. It can even look into the 
distant past. It is through this portal that we have seen your 
development. It was a hard decision to risk your life to fight this 
evil. But you have proven to be strong and able to protect us and 
our future. The Princess of Mercury trained you well." Said 
Constance. "Now is the time to secure the Jupiter Kingdom's future. 
Behold the evil!"
    The facets of the Great Emerald seemed to disappear and a faint 
glow emanated from deep within the green core. Lita looked into the 
portal until the image sharpened and reveled what looked like an 
earth livingroom with furniture and toys strewn about the floor. 
Two figures stepped into the room and started to hold each other 
close. The portal's image focused on the shorter of the two and the 
face of the figure then sharpened to a clear, unmistakable image. 
Whispers of anger and fear spread throughout those gathered.
     Serena.
     4
     " If this is a joke." Said Lita frowning. " This is certainly 
a bad one. Serena is no threat, she is my friend and I will not 
raise my hand against her."
     " You say she is not the enemy? She is. She is the ancestor of 
Queen Serenity who took you away from us long ago." Constance's 
voice started to harden. " Many stories about how the royal family 
mourned your loss for a long time are documented. Their sorrow was 
so great that the Kingdom was neglected and almost fell in upon 
itself. I will prevent the ancestor of Queen Serenity from taking 
anybody else away at whatever the cost! Many of the court doubted 
your right to be Princess of Jupiter. This deed will not only 
ensure our future, but you'll prove your worthiness to be the 
protector of your people, as tradition dictates."
     " No!" Shouted Lita. " I will not harm her in any way! I love 
her, and I will defend her at the cost of my life if need be!" 
Lita's voice grew deep and powerful as it reverberated throughout 
the palace.
     " I see." A sneer started to contort Constance's face. " Those 
who are faithful to the Queen of Jupiter, step forward and defend 
your Monarch!"
     Seven large men stepped forward as the crowd drew back.  They 
surrounded Lita, forming a circle 20 feet in diameter. When Lita 
would move toward the Queen, the circle moved with her, wisely 
keeping their distance. With a wave of Constance's hand, all seven 
started to throw anything they could get their hands on at Lita. 
She caught most of them and threw them back at her attackers, who 
dodged them effortlessly. They then started to attack her directly, 
two or three at a time.  
    Lita noticed that they would strike and then retreat, while 
others would take their place. She took more punches than she gave 
out, but those whose face met Lita's fist were knocked down and 
sent sliding across the floor.
     Out of the corner of her eye, Lita saw Constance. Her face was 
creased with concentration, a globe of white light slowly gathered 
in size between her outstretched arms.
     The men were only decoys, giving Constance enough time to 
gather her magical might.
     " Now!" Constance's voice rang out.
     All seven of Lita's assailants retreated while the full force 
of the Queens spell hit her and started to crawl along her skin. At 
first it felt like a thick gel, then it started to thicken, 
encasing her body. She tried to throw off the viscous spell but it 
clung to her body like glue. She felt it harden, but it was no 
match for her strength, her powerful limbs still moving.
     Sweat started to form on Constance's face. Her teeth started 
to grind as she poured more and more of her power into the 
concealing spell. But she was the Queen of Jupiter, the most 
powerful person on the planet, second only to the Princess. The gel 
started to pile on Lita's body, encasing her in a bubble almost 11 
feet in diameter. Constance could see Lita's limbs thrash inside 
the thick bubble. 
     "She's strong" Constance thought. " I can't give up!"
     "Servants of the Ultra-Negaverse.come to me! Lend me your 
power!" She shouted.
     The seven men who fought Lita gathered around their queen and 
focused all their energy into her. The beam of magic forming Lita's 
prison grew in brightness and size. Lita still fought the spell, 
but it was plain to the crowd that her arms were slowing down.
     Then the impossible happened.
     One by one, the seven servants started to glow and change 
shape. Scales replaced skin and fangs replaced teeth until the true 
forms of the Queens men were revealed to all.
      Monsters with thickly muscles limbs poured their might into 
their Queen, each increasing the power of the spell ten fold.
     Lita's mighty limbs started to slow down. 
     One by one the monsters started to slump to the ground, its 
energy spent. Finally the form of the Queen started to flicker and 
change. her limbs and breasts starting to shrivel. Delicate fingers 
turned into claws, the long gown piling up at the creature's feet 
as she shrank.
     The glowing bubble then started to harden, gaining a strength 
greater than heavy diamonds.     
     Lita was entombed in a bubble of clear crystal, her arms and 
legs held fast.
     5
     When the glow subsided from the hags wrinkled arms, she 
slumped to the ground breathing hard and fast. Her cohorts 
recovered and surrounded their master, protecting her from the 
angry, deceived Royal Court. 
     " Don't let anyone leave." Said Meryl as she tried to stand, 
but stumbled to one knee. One of her reptilian servants came and 
helped the witch to her feet.
     " That was close, I didn't think that I would have to use that 
much power to contain her, but that crystal is 10 times more dense 
than utlra diamonds, she will not be a factor. With the Queen and 
the Princess out of they way, I can commence with the subjugation 
of this planet, the Master will be pleased. But first the Crystal, 
I must regain my power." Meryl tried to walk by herself, but soon 
stumbled.
     Two of her servants came over and provided support for their 
master and tried to guide her to the giant green gem. After two 
steps a deafening crunch shook the floor, throwing everyone in the 
room to the floor. Not only were the people assaulted by the sound, 
but also by flying shards of crystal, some pieces being close to 
three feet long. When the noise stopped, all that was left of the 
transparent tomb was a pile of sparkling chunks of crystal and an 
annoyed Lita.
    "What the..."Meryl almost fainted again. " Ha. How did you... 
?"
    "Good thing I learned how to hold my breath for a long time." 
Lita muttered as she brushed off some pesky shards from her 
shoulders. "I thought you guys were normal, so I went easy on you. 
But now that you guys are trashable monster types..."
     Before Lita could finish, all seven reptilian beasts bared 
their teeth and claws and leapt at her.
     4 punches + 3 kicks = 7 piles of dust.
     Meryl looked around her in disbelief, her strongest servants 
decimated quickly and easily. She cowered away from Lita's extended 
hand.
     " Master!..Help me!" Meryl's voice was a mixture of entreaty 
and pain.
     Suddenly a thin glowing line appeared that seemed to reach 
from floor to ceiling. Out from it stepped the closest thing to a 
God Lita had ever seen. Handsome and well muscled, the being stood 
close to 20 feet tall. But it was his purple, glowing eyes that 
betrayed him, for they seemed to swirl around deep within his eye 
sockets. 
     " One just can't find competent help these days. Meryl, this 
is the third time I had to come to your aid. And this time I put at 
your disposal seven of my strongest servants and yet I hear another 
entreaty from you. Where are..." Lukmork quickly scanned the area 
and saw the remains of his prize servants. " I see that they were 
defeated..It seems this is an different circumstance, one in which 
I may show some lenience."
      " Th..Thank you master." Meryl was on her hands and knees.
       All this time the Godlike creature was ignoring Lita.
      " Come Meryl, we must be going." Lukmork, with his servant in 
tow, casually walked in Lita's direction. When Lita took one step 
towards him, he non-chalontly swatted her aside with the back of 
his hand, sending her flying against a nearby pillar. With a wave 
of his hand, the dimensional door opened and he was about to step 
through when he felt an urgent tugging on his long robe.
     " What is it now Meryl...."
     KURUMMMMUNCH!
    Never in Lukmorks life has anybody ever laid a hand on his body 
or face..let alone smack it. Whirling around from the force of a 
leaping Lita's fist, he fell at her feet, groggy. He took hold of 
his jaw and felt the bones move around. 
     " Someone should teach you some manners, a gentleman never 
ignores a lady." Lita said with  hands on hips.
     Quickly scooping up Meryl, he tried to make his way through 
the portal.but he swayed back and forth like he was intoxicated. 
Finally, he tripped over his own feet and fell through the 
dimensional door face first. 
     6
    Using the power of the Great Emerald, Lita found where the real 
Constance was imprisoned. She was worn and tired, but after a few 
days rest she was up and about.
    Lita had to admit that Meryl did a good job at imitating 
Constance, but as they walked through the palace gardens, it became 
evident how pale the comparison was. Constance was a mixture of 
gentleness and dignity that Meryl couldn't have imitated. 
     " I had to use all my power to block Meryl's mind probes, plus 
mask the fact that I was doing such." Said Constance as she and 
Lita sat at the edge of one of the many fountains inside the 
palace. " I said that I was second only to the Princess when it 
came to power, that made her look for you without probing deeper in 
my mind and discovering the true power of the Great Emerald."
    " The true power?" Asked Lita.
    " This is not the place to discuss this. Come, I will show 
you..you have earned the right."
     Constance led Lita down into the very bowels of the palace. 
When they came to a dead end, Constance pushed in a couple of 
stones and a door opened to what looked like an elevator. After 
entering a complex sequence of numbers, the room started to vibrate 
and began to descend even deeper into the planet's core.
    " You know.Arthur C. Clark was wrong, the center of Jupiter is 
not a diamond, but an emerald.
     " You've read 2010?" Asked Lita.
     " Yes I have. I know many things.things about the past and 
present, but not the future, that's the limit of the emeralds 
power." 
     Finally the elevator stopped and a window opened to a view 
that made Lita gasp. It looked like a brilliant green sea with 
waves constantly moving and shimmering with pulsating light. It 
seemed to stretch for miles.
     "The Emerald in the throne room is merely a conduit. 
This..down here, at Jupiter's core, is the Great Emerald. Its power 
is vast, no one in recorded history has been able to tap its full 
power. Few members of the older races know of its existence, how 
that witch acquired such knowledge, I don't know."
     " Who built this elevator? How did they know where to tunnel?"
     " That's one of the mystery's of the Emerald." Answered 
Constance.  " The true power of the Emerald is not only to look 
into the past, but also to travel into the past. No one has dared 
see how far he or she can go back. The furthest back anyone has 
gone was 50 years. That almost caused the destruction of the planet 
and our civilization. It was the Princess of Jupiter that went back 
and prevented that cataclysm."
    " Was it me? I don't remember my former life as a Princess in 
the Silver Millennium." Said Lita.
    " No. But one of your distant ancestors. Only the Queen and the 
Princess know of the Emerald's existence and how to locate it. We 
know a little about how to use it, but the Emerald Concordances, 
the books showing how to use all of the Emerald's power, has been 
lost. All the knowledge available about the Emerald is passed down 
from generation to generation."
     Constance put her hands on Lita's shoulders, then hesitated as 
she felt the bulging muscle.
    " My..I.forgot what I was going to say." Said Constance as she 
blushed. " I could tell by looking that you were strong, but I 
never thought you would be this big! And such a bustline!" 
Constance stepped back to look Lita up and down. "You are very 
beautiful Althena.er.Lita. I have been watching you for a long time 
and I know how much you love Serena and Amy. I also know that you 
must not leave them, but I ask you this.Will you accept the title 
of Princess? The people will not be fearful knowing that they have 
a Queen and a Princess looking after them. Especially when the 
Princess is so beautiful and so able to protect them."
     7
    Music from the great organ filled the cathedral from altar to 
balcony.   
      Lita wore a long, sheer gown that had a train of about twenty 
feet long, held off the ground by six of the Queen's handmaidens. 
The low cut bodice was meant to uplift and support, but was not 
needed in Lita's case.
     Constance was practically glowing, her own large bosom thrust 
out in pride. Lita noted one more thing that Meryl missed, the real 
Constance had a much larger bustline. And she seemed to be proud of 
the fact, something that the old witch failed to convey.
     Lita knelt down on one knee and bowed her head. She felt the 
smooth metal of the tiara as it was slid into place. She looked 
into Constance's eyes and saw pride and love.
      " People of Jupiter! Behold your Princess!" Declared 
Constance as she lifted her hand.
      The organ and brass fanfare caused the air and floor to 
shudder. Lita was showered with delicate green flowers and cheers 
from the assembled crowd as she walked down the long aisle. 
       The celebrations lasted for about a week. Representatives 
from the many provinces of Jupiter came and paid their respects. 
Part of the festivities included athletic contests, eating, strange 
animal races, eating, musical concerts, and more eating. Lita wrote 
down a good twenty recipes that Constance shared with her, ones 
that could be made with Earth foods. Some of the more burly 
soldiers from the outlands couldn't believe that the Princess could 
be someone so beautiful and yet so strong, but a few arm-wrestling 
matches made believers out of them. The sound of Constance's 
laughter seemed to lighten everyone's hearts and minds.
      One evening Lita was out in the garden looking toward Earth.
     " You don't have to tell me Lita." Said Constance as she came 
up behind her and put her arm around Lita's waist. " I could tell 
by your eyes its time for you to go and protect the future Queen 
Serenity. Please accept this ring as a signet of your title." A 
silver-colored ring with an emerald was slipped on Lita's finger. " 
This ring was hewn from the Great Emerald itself, it will be our 
link. If you want to talk, get away for a while, or bring Serenity 
or the Princess of Mercury here to show them your home, just say my 
name, and you will be brought here."
     All Lita could do was hug Constance.
     They both held each other as their tears of joy mingled.
      8
     The first thing Lita saw was the light from the lamppost, her 
bags of groceries looked undisturbed. She looked around the area 
and saw that any trace of the battle was lost due the wind.
       "All the food must have spoiled by now, but I think Amy can 
fend for herself. OMIGOSH! I must have been gone for two weeks! How 
am I going to explain this to Amy?"
      As she walked home, she tried to come up with various stories 
and excuses.but decided that the truth would be the best thing.
      "Hey Amy! You're not gonna believe this!" Lita said as she 
came in through the front door.
      "Hi Lita! Back already? When's dinner gonna be ready.I'm 
starved! Whatcha got ..whatcha got!?" Lita slapped at Amy's prying 
hands as she tried to look into Lita grocery bags.
      "Now that's a secret, I'll call ya when it's ready."
       As Lita prepared the feast, she surmised that Constance must 
have used the power of the Great Emerald not only to send her home 
but also not long after her little skirmish with Meryl's goons. 
        Amy always had a ravenous appetite on workout days, Lita's 
meal being consumed with gusto.
        "Lita, Dinner was delicious! Was that a new recipe? I don't 
remember you cooking anything like that before!" said a contented 
Amy.
       "Oh, I picked up a couple of ideas here and there." Lita 
said casually.
       "Same place where you got that new tiara? Its beautiful!" 
Said Amy. But then she started to giggle. "You finally found a new 
boyfriend? Does he remind you of your old one?.HEY!"     
        Amy dodged Lita's flying glass of water.
      " Cut it out Amy!  I'm over that guy! But Lukmork DID look a 
little bit like him..."
                                                          
THE END
