Interlude Two

The Multiverse - Realm of Equal Opportunity Growth Potential
Customs, Health and Immigration Barrier
CHI Port of Entry & Exit #245

Things really hadn't been working out all that well since Goddess Rowena had arrived at the Customs, Health and Immigration Barrier Port of Entry & Exit. Long use to the full freedom of movement wherever she traveled, the dark haired Goddess was getting rather irritated at the delay. The Enforcer Knights who guarded the transit points into the Domain of the Realm were under strict orders to inspect her passport and credentials for the possibly of forgery. Her rank as a Deity not withstanding, they insisted that she submit to this at once - and so did she in refusing.

"I'm a Goddess! Zed damn it, get out of my way!"

So declaring, her Mega-sized 800-foot body began to stroll forward. Rowena was darkly dressed in a jersey lace-up top and long slitted skirt, of which was complemented by a pair of high-heeled shoes. The choice in garments gave her an aura of deadly sexiness as her long legs projected determinedly, intending to step on anyone and anything that dared to block her path.

On the ground, that is - what she hadn't considered was waiting for her overhead.

At once, naval claxons sounded and all of the local area Ragnarok Class space platforms had locked onto her with their the zero-point singularly - or black hole - projectors. Seeing so many of the Luna-sized objects powered-up and ready to open fire, she stopped dead in her tracks. Each platform had the fusion firepower of star and made them extremely formidable Anti-Deity weapons. Even with her awesome power to shield, it was something of which she did not want to test her luck against - for reasons of bodily comfort. Loss of her Immortal Deity's form was like having your body submersed in highly caustic acid and with the added bonus of your soul being ripped out at the same time. Regeneration on the other hand was supposedly easy and very pleasurable - but hardly worth the price of going through on an emotional whim.

"Goddess, with respect, you must submit . . ."

This announcement came over the public address system - its source being the CHI officer, an Arch-Tribune.

" . . . We have our orders and as such, we their loyal servants will enforce the wishes of our Deity Rulers in this matter to the last jot and tittle. The protocols and procedures in the Agreement of Hyperspace Free Transit are perfectly clear. Now, you really don't want me to call up The High Castle over such a trivial matter as this, do you?"

Fuming, she did submit and allowed them to do what they wished. From what she had learned from the Multiverse News Services and while at the Alliance/Consortium Capitals, AlexG and DeniseH were not ones to be trifled with these days. Already his leadership in the recovery of the Book of the Zed from Danielle, the Mega Gammazon of Terra had only added to his mythical reputation as the Scribe of Zed - He/She, the Supreme One of All of the Multiverse.

And then there was the recent Realm-Impérium War . . .

The conflict had been started by Goddess Paula - done in an insane attempt to make herself the Impératrice of the Multiverse - and who's key to victory lay in capturing the planet Abydos of System Aeden within this Domain. In the end, it was for naught - her invading force of Impérial Janizaries were ruthlessly destroyed and she was deposed from her throne, replaced by another Goddess, a former enemy and now loyal subject-ally of the Realm. Even with their military triumph, the two Deities had remained very sensitive about their citizen-subjects and the protections that they afforded them. It was rumored AlexG had swore that as he had done to Paula, he'd personally do again to any Deity that ever threatened his peoples. That is if DeniseH didn't beat him to the punch and personally shove the malefactor through The Doors of Night.

"I still don't believe it," she thought coming back to the present, "they treat these lesser beings like equals."

Upon further reflection - a revelation.

"No, not equals, but younger children with the potential of true adults. No wonder they give such authority to these Immortal Starship Troopers. They are the philosophical ideal of The Two Who Jointly Rule and this Realm of Equal Opportunity Growth Potential - and an idea that was growing in power, too, with the advent of the Realm-led Commonwealth of Domains."

Her musing then ended she was cleared for entrance into the Domain. The expressions radiating from the Enforcer Knights of Realm Force were not pleasant, and she suspected that if they had the power to do so they'd have nuked her out of existence. Even so, she smiled in a friendly sort of way as she left them behind - teleporting out in a flash of starlight. Shortly soon thereafter she rematerialized at the location she planned to reside at while within the Realm.

**********

From that day of long ago when she'd undergone her spontaneous evolutionary transformation into a Goddess - one of the Race of the Undying, a being Immortal and indestructible, she had never looked back since, completely embracing her new existence.

And why should she, as a Mortal her life had only been one of profound social unhappiness - and was reinforced by her prepossessing, even homely appearance. Unwanted and undesired by her peers, she had been miserable and only worsened her condition by seeking solace in food. However, this all changed upon her gaining a supernaturally empowered, superfitness supersexy physique - for it represented all of her secret desires manifested as tangible reality. With long flowing hair, her form was the fusion of proud-breasted athleticism and alluring beauty in one awesomely impressive - but deadly - package of feminine strength.

The first thing she did was to grow into a 50-foot Giantess and exact revenge on every man or woman in her high school who had ever hurt her feelings simply because she was unlovely in their eyes. It was a real pleasure to turn the tables on the tall sexy cheerleader types and large macho football jocks by doling out appropriately fitting punishments. She could have just as easily erased them on the spot, but that would have been far too easy. Instead, she wanted to make them suffer, to make them to feel as repulsive as she had been made to feel unwanted.

In the time since, she took great delight in balancing the score for men or women who were similarly treated throughout the Multiverse - unwanted and unbefriended by their peers. Whenever she found such a person - she would enhance them to full Giant or Giantess size as the all-powerful ruler over the normal Humans. Then they could take their pleasures upon them in whatever manner the individual wished.

"Well, on to business . . . the business of investigating what my dear sister Giselle has achieved while residing within the Realm, now the most powerful IRT Goddess on station here."

Besides Giselle, many other IRT Goddess had indirect access, several even having also taken up residence inside the Domain. However, without exception all were required to follow the binding rules and restrictions as agreed upon in the IRT Treaty of Service with the Realm.

She's always wanted to play Matchmaker to the lesser beings . . ."

From her massive Mega scaled PC she surfed over the Infonet reading about the various worlds that Giselle had intervened in as a part of her agenda. As she read the data - text articles and streaming video - Rowena couldn't believe what her eyes showed her. Giselle had created numerous empowered supercouples - even Giant and Giantess couples that the normal-sized people adored as an everyday part of their population and acted as the protectors of their planets.

Finally, she scrolled down to the most recent entry. It seemed that Giselle was in the process of creating a Titan and Titaness - a Supreme Warrior and Super Amazon. She was still in the early stages of her project, the male had undergone his first transformation, and the female was yet to experience her own, but was eagerly waiting in anticipation.

The entire idea of mutual growth was completely anathema to Rowena. In her mind, only one sex or the other could be grown into a Giant or Giantess. Dominantly taking what they wanted and ruling over the normals - sometimes benevolently, other times in a more dictatorial manner. Nevertheless, Giselle was proving her philosophy to be flawed - Power Couples that were co-existing with the normal-sized - peacefully integrated and protective of their peoples.

Fuming, refusing to admit defeat, an idea suddenly came to Rowena, a very dark idea.

"Under the current conditions here I cannot do too much that might be interpreted as an overt hostile act, but if I use go betweens - various pawns as my agents - plausible deniability."

She smiled evilly - dryly chuckling with malevolent delight.

"And what better way to stir the pot with my old friend by demonstrating that such things were not meant to be then by ruining this most recent of her hard work."
