( Three days later, Alena and Causeway returned to Athens. But this time, they came with the goddesses Artemis, and Diana. Word is that many people had been disappearing near an old temple in the forest area. a place that was once used as an attraction, until the people began to go missing. Little did  Alena and her group know, that they had a stalker. Someone who shouldn't even be in Athens)

" So what do you guys think could be causing people to disappear?"  Asked Causeway as they walked through the forest. " I honestly don't know, there could be a number of creatures that stand out as  possible reasons." Said Diana. " She is correct, though this pathway seems familiar somehow. As if this is a place where no humans should be allowed to enter. " Said Artemis.  " Well, whatever it is or whoever it is. We're here guys, this is the temple." Said Diana. " Before we do that, just one sec. ( Glares at a tree behind her to the far left).  MIKO, GET FROM BEHIND THE TREE, YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE FOLLOWING US!" Said  Alena as Causeway shot the tree that she was looking at. Which hits the tree and forces Miko to jump from behind the tree. 

" How did she hide from my senses, I should have been able to sense her or know that she was there."  Said  Artemis. " It's because she was around Optimus Prime for the majority of her life. Just like Alena, because of that the aura from our God and creator Primus.  But unlike Alena who wields a relic of our people and was chosen by Optimus. Because of that, while you won't notice Alena because of her unofficial title of a prime. You will notice Miko after a while. But if she's here, then that means the rest of team Prime are in Athens." Said Causeway. " Well, we'll need to spend her back now. We're here, and I now know why the people have been missing. So you're going back to the others Miko." Said Alena as she pointed to the swarm of statues of people and animals with fear and screams etched on their faces.

"  ( Looks around at all of the statues). I don't really see the problem here, it's just a bunch of statues." Said Miko as she suddenly disappeared in a flash of light and reappeared in front of Raf, and the rest of team Prime. " Yeah, she had to go. Her blind need for action would have endangered everyone." Said Diana. " Yes, but with who we're looking for being Medusa. Causeway, you're gonna need to wait out here.  You're an easier target than us." Said Artemis as she masked her godly energy. " Then we'd best get to it then." Said Diana as she, Artemis, and  Alena walked into the temple. While Causeway transformed into her truck mode and parked herself next to a tree.

" ( Walks into the temple and then draws her sword and shield, with Diana doing the same as Artemis drew her daggers). So, I remember correctly. Medusa was only turned into what she is now. Because Posiden tried to bed her in Athena's temple. But wasn't Medusa a worshiper of  Athena? Why would she blindly and without thinking? Did she not care about any of her worshipers back in the olden days? Besides that, Posiden could have easily taken the curse from Medusa as an apology for him being the reason she was turned into that. Those two started hating each other after that. Their dislike for each other is over something so dumb. "Said Alena as she instinctively blocked an arrow that had flew at her, by using her shield. 

"  ( Looks in the direction where the arrow came from to see a snake tail slither away). Thats her alright, but this is as far as I go from here. Unless she is in affiliation with those two. I can not enter her domain without good reason.  I will stay out here and free all of these innocent people from her stone prison. Good luck, you two." Said Artemis as she unmasked her godly aura and began to free the civilians from their stone prison. When suddenly the key to Vector Sigma began to sign from within Alena's right pocket as a visor suddenly appeared over her eyes. The key shifted into its new spot around her neck like that of a choker with the autobot symbol on the front. " What just happened, did the key give you something that can  help you fight Medusa?" Asked  Diana as a second viser appeared in  Alena's left hand. " I think so, I'd even say that it's to negate her petrifying stare. ( Hands the other visor to Diana). I don't even think she can take these off.  I think only we can take them off." Said  Alena as she and  Diana chased Medusa into the temple. 

( Medusa)

" Whatever the case, just know that Athena will know something is wrong and come to see what is happening in Athens. We'll need to ask Hestia to teleport us out once this is over." Said  Diana as they stopped running and began to walk through the temple. " ( Slithers all around the temple while keeping her eyes on the two women who have entered her sanctum). What would an Amazon and a follower of the moon, though a child of the owl want with me? Leave me be warriors, I have no quarrel with you." Said Medusa. " I wish we could Medusa, but you turned innocent people to stone that did nothing to you. No one knew that you were even here until recently. They just thought that this place was an archeological attraction, filled with ancient Greek culture. No one knew you were here until you turned the first group to stone." Said Alena.

" However, we would like to ask you a few questions Medusa. Once we get them, we will leave you alone and make this place off-limits to the mortals." Said Diana. " What is your question then? ( Readies an arrow and aims it at Diana). What could you possibly want to know?" Asked  Medusa. " Has Ares or Herakles come to speak with you recently?" Asked Diana, which caused  Medusa to pause and then roar in rage and then charge toward Diana and Alena.

( As Medusa charged toward Diana and  Alena. She quickly tail whipped diana away from the area and then shield-charged Alena. This caused both their shields to slam into each other as  Medusa smashed Alena through the many pillars behind them, which caused  Alena's back to hit every pillar.  As Medusa slammed Alena into the last pillar,  she then tailed whipped Alena which sent the girl flying twelve feet as she then hit the ground hard. Medusa then charged at Alena and swung her sword down on the girl. Only for Alena to block it with her shield. This began a clash of swords and shields, along with the occasional tail strike from  Medusa, and the occasional roll and jump from Alena. in order to dodge the tail strikes)

" ( Clashes Blades with Alena). I will deal with the amazon later, but first. I'd like to rid the world of a child of the one who put this curse on me." Said  Medusa as she pushed her sword against  Alena's. " Put the curse on you, what in the world are you talking about? I know I'm a demigod, but I don't even know who my godly mother is." Said  Alena as she broke the sword lock. " Shurley you jest,  a child of the owl who doesn't even know their own mother at least by now. Has she not claimed you at all, or even left you a gift of some sort?" Said Medusa. " Lady, I've been with someone who I had just a couple of months ago. Found out was actually my adopted mother and not my birth mother So no, I don't know who my godly mother is. The only gods I currently know at this time are Hestia and Artemis. But as for a gift. Hestia gave me this when I first met her. Along with  Artemis giving me this outfit. ( Looks down at her outfit, which now has tears and scrapes going all along the sleeves and pants. But then looks at the back of her outfit to see large tears.  before looking back towards Medusa). But as for a gift, Hestia gave me this. Said something about my mother wanting to give it to me. But for some reason, they keep doing what they can to avoid her." Said Alena as she summons her spear to her right hand.

" That spear that you hold, it's the first spear ever used by Athena the Goddess of war, wisdom, and strategy. If you have that spear, then you truly are a child of the accursed goddess that cursed me." Said  Medusa as she changed at Alena. Only for a golden Lasso to wrap around her and hold her still. " What the gods did to you is wrong  Medusa, but you made it worse by bringing terror to the the people of old. When you could have just tried to live peacefully." Said  Diana. " Peacefully, surely you jest amazon? This curse will not allow me to live peacefully. I had tried to live a somewhat normal life when my sisters the gorgons were brought into the world. Only for the so-called heroes of old, to kill every signal one of them. Leaving me alone for eternity. Only to get revived every seven months. So,  daughter of Athena. Shall you play the hero and slay me?" Asked Medusa.

" I know you heard my discussion with Artemis and Diana, so you already know my answer.  Mother put that curse on you for no reason whatsoever, and  Posiden could have easily broken it as an apology to you. Heck, you used to be a worshipper of Athena. You prayed for her to protect you from Posiden and she did nothing to help you. If you ask me my mother was a coward and doesn't even deserve to have a city named after her. Especially if she'll just ignore her follower's prayers for help. So if you ask me, this spear is no longer her's. It now belongs to me and I will use it to protect those I hold dear to me. Besides, another pantheon has chosen me as their first human champion.  I've known their people longer than I've known this one. So I might as well train for when I use the title right. The first over in cybertronian history. The first ever human prime." Said Alena with determination.

" ( Begins to laugh with glee and ecstatically at what she had just heard). So you acknowledge that you are a child of Athena. But you chose to be a warrior of a different pantheon that is not of this earth let alone. Disagree with many of the wrongdoings that the gods have done for one selfish reason or another." Said Medusa. " As long as it's a dumb or ignorant reason then yes. But if there is some merit to their thinking or that their reason is sound. That is when I'll leave it be." Said Alena. " ( Laughs again and then smiles). You're an interesting change from the normal demigods that come my way. Including the one that came here with the son of Posiden and a saytr. Very well, I will leave  the mortals alone and will only  avoid them if they enter this place." Said Medusa as Artemis walked into the temple. " I'll do you one better, I'll send you to an uninhabited island where there are only animals. Then place a barrier around it. To prevent any mortals or from ever entering the island." Said Artemis.

"  ( Smiles and then looks at Alena). That sounds wonderful,  lets have a friendly spar next time young one. Though I didn't catch your name." Said  Medusa. " It's  Alena, human Prime of Primus and now a daughter of Athena." Said  Alena as  Medusa began to disappear in a flash of silver. " ( closes her eyes and then smiles). Alena hu, I'll remember that for when we have our spar." Said Medusa. "  (Covers her left hand in silver energy and then waves it). I have just freed you from your certification half of the curse. You no longer have that ability.  It would be fun to see how well you can truly fight. Farewell for now, Medusa." Said  Artemis. " Farewell goddess, amazon, Alena. I hope to see you again someday." Said Medusa as she fully vanished in a flash of silver.

" (Looks at  Alena). What you said about your opinion on the things that the gods have done because of either selfish or foolish reasons. Did you truly mean what you said?" Asked Diana as she,  Alena, and Artemis walked out of the temple. " Yep, I meant every word. You know as well as I do how many lives have been ruined because of one selfish reason or another.  Yet they have never done anything to fix it. Medusa is a great example of that. My mother cursed one of her own worshipers instead of helping them. If anything she's an example of many of the gods abandoning humanity and only being there for them when it suits them. The only one excluded from this is Hestia. She's the only one besides Artemis with some common sense up there." Said  Alena as she hopped into the driver seat of  Causeway, once they made their way to her. 

" You right to see things that way Alena, in many cases. I to wish that this were better, but we are goods, which means many of us let our own pride get the better of us. Until it consumes us entirely. For now,  rest up for in two weeks do we make the mark for Jasper Nevada. My hunters have located  Herakles and  Ares there with their armies.  But there is a demigod with them, a girl with orange hair." Said Artemis as  Diana began to floor into the sky. " Orange hair, I think I know who it is and if they have a demigod with them. Then it's one that they were able to sway to their side." Said Alena. " Indeed, for now, rest up." Said  Artemis as she disappeared in a white flash of light.

" I will ready my sisters and will meet you there. Let us pray that your autobot friends do not get in the crossfire. " Said  Diana. " If we know them, one of them will. The one called Arcee. She used to be Alena's guardian before me. But After  Alena left for personal reasons. They never kept in touch until that battle where we helped them fight off those monsters." Said Causeway as she began to drive off as Wonder Woman flew off.

( Meanwhile, over with June Darby. Who had just recently slain a Chimera)

" ( Sits on a rock while cleaning her sword with a rag. Before feeling the air in the wind shift slightly). You know, I'm honestly surprised it took you this long to come and talk to me. We were once good friends after all. ( Looks up and then behind her ). Or has that friendship lessened over the many years you've never called or sent an owl messenger to check on your daughter, Athena?" Asked June as Athena appeared behind her. " Where is she June,  she's supposed to be with you. You swore on the river styx that you would protect her and raise her until her time was right." Said  Athena. " Don't play that card with me Athena, we both know that time has already come. Especially since Wonder Woman herself came looking for Alena. Let alone Hestia coming to visit me a couple of days after saying that the fates have called apon her. I had already sent Alena on her way with Diana, knowing that she would do great things. But  Hestian coming to visit me was the kicker. The fates themselves called on her and not once have you ever tried to keep in contact with me. Before this whole thing, me, not Alena, me." Said June.

"  I did not want her to be involved in any of this. She was supposed to live somewhat of a normal life. I watched over the both of you, even when you met the autobots. But I knew that she would be safe from my side of things. I love my daughter dearly, and all I want is to keep her safe." Said Athena. " More dearly than your other demigod children,  you seemed to be fin sending them on a quest that will get them killed or worse morally scared. So what is the difference between them and Alena? Don't say it's because of Primus because he so far is the only one that has done a darn thing for her. He even made her the first ever human prime, Athena. So give me a real reason." Said  June as  Athena glared at her.  But before Athena could open her mouth, Hestian appeared next to them in a large flame.
