Epilogue: Witch Sheson Ends…For Now!

SheZow slowly began to open his eyes, with another splitting headache. I have really gotta stop waking up like this! thought SheZow as he massaged between his eyes. Standing up, SheZow realized…he was in the SheGeneration Module! Looking around further, he saw Maz and Kelly facing Sheila, looking over something.

"Hey." said SheZow, in a low, cracked voice from lack of use, "Aren't sidekicks supposed to sit at an ailing heroine's bedside till he wakes up?" SheZow couldn't resist cracking wise.

"GUY!" exclaimed Maz and Kelly after they turned around seeing Guy awake at last. Clearly, they were excited to see SheZow awake as they rushed over to give him a group hug!

"OW, OW, OW, easy there! I think I'm still a little tender!" exclaimed Guy, his muscles still sore. As Kelly and Maz pulled back, Guy decided to ask, "How long was I out?"

"Not as long as I thought you would be." said Sheila, keeping with her usual manner, "Only about three days."

"Three Days! I wasn't hurt that bad! How'd you keep Mom and Dad in the dark?!" exclaimed SheZow, as he didn't see his injuries as severe.

"You were injury fairly moderately in the fight with La Bruja, but between the energy uses of that shield you deployed at the end and the workout you got out trying to bring order to Megadale before confronting La Bruja, you nearly died of exhaustion." explained Sheila.

"Yeah what was that shield by the way? I haven't seen any records of it in the SheZow archive." asked Kelly, truly stumped at what happened at the end.

"I…I don't know. When that ghoul started running at me, it just appeared." Said SheZow, truly having no idea where the new ability came from.

"That means…it's a brand new SheZow ability! Dude, we have got to start thinking up a name for it!" exclaimed Maz, excited at the discovery. Mostly, whenever something new had been discovered about SheZow, Shelia would have at least a record about. This was true brand new territory!

"Later Maz." said SheZow simply, because, although he was excited about the new discovery, he wanted a question answer, "You guys still haven't answered my question. How did you keep Mom and Dad from noticing I was gone?!"

It was at this point that the group adopted guilty expressions. Shelia pretended to look through her files for some piece of information. Kelly rubbed the back of her neck and looked at the floor. Maz was whistling innocently while looking around randomly. SheZow was glaring at them all with accusatorial intent, waiting for an answer from one of them. But they weren't the ones who answered his question!

"I believe that's my cue!" said SheZap, as he walked out of the shadows behind SheZow!

"SheZap! What the heck are you doing here?!" SheZow exclaimed, surprised by SheZap's sudden arrival.

"I'm answering your question, that's what!" said SheZap in a snide tone, before continuing, "As I'm sure you remember, I am your clone which means…" pausing, SheZap changed into his 'Guy Hamdon' mode, "I look exactly like you. All we had to do was stick me in a hospital bed, and 'you're' in a brief coma after saving a kid's life! Your welcome!"

Turning back to Maz and Kelly with an irritated look on his face, Kelly explained, "Look, before you get angry, remember you were on life support yourself! So we didn't technically lie to Mom and Dad. Besides, it turns out Aunt Agnes had her own doctor at the hospital!"

Looking at Sheila for an explanation, Shelia responded, "This was before the SheGeneration Module, Agnes had to take long breaks from fighting villains. After a particularly rough fight with Mega Monkey, Agnes was forced to call in the help of a specialist: Dr. Nancy Shrew. While her bedside manner leaves much to be desired, she helped your Aunt get back on the street just in time to stop Mega Monkey's scheme. From then on, she promised to help SheZow in any way she can and help keep her secret identity."

"Lousy overbearing so and so." muttered SheZap vindictively before saying, "Well now that you're all better, I'll be going now. Without La Bruja, I don't need protection. Smell ya later, SheCow!" Laughing maniacally SheZap dived into the shadows, making a clean getaway.

"Whelp, all's well that ends well. La Bruja's gone; her minions are being rounded up. I think SheZow deserves a break after all this." said Maz, trying successfully to lighten the mood.

"For once, I agree with you guys! We'll just need to get over to the hospital first! Mom and Dad are going to pick you up!" said Kelly.

SheZow started to smile and walk over to the Sheicle. Finally the nightmare seemed to be over!

"Shemergency! Shemergency!"

The good mood instantly turned sour! "Shelia! Can't you let the police handle it!" said Kelly, surprising everyone as usually she was against blowing off 'Shemergencies!'

"I'm afraid this is something that must be brought to SheZow's immediate attention! I am bringing up City Hall now!" declared Sheila, giving off the impression that she had just seen a ghost. Which it turned out wasn't far from the truth! The screen showed City Hall, where the Mayor was giving a press conference. The subject was the rebuilding of damage done to Megadale during La Bruja's attack. On the podium stood the Mayor in his wheel chair, but right next to him was…

"SARTANA!" This exclamation came from everyone still in the She-Lair! Yes, it was Sartana Suarez, aka La Bruja, sitting next to the Mayor in her own wheelchair! Her left arm was in a sling, her right leg was in a cast, and there were bandages over her chest, possibly covering the wound SheZow made...stabbing her through the heart! Despite her injuries, Sartana stood straight in her chair, dressed to impress! Tara stood behind her, no doubt pushing the wheelchair around, in her civilian outfit.

"And now, the woman who without whom Megadale would remain a broken hush, I give you…Sartana Suarez!" announced the Mayor, moving back to allow Sartana to be pushed up to the podium. She was waving her right hand like an old English queen, delicately and friendly.

"Gracias Mayor, and gracias to all of you fine citizens of Megadale! It is my sincere hope that the funds my company has provided will aid in not only the city's recovery, but to its benefit as well! For it is not only important that we get back to our lives, but also to improve our way of life for future generations!" opened Sartana, allowing the audience to so their appreciation for her 'efforts' before continuing.

"While it is true that the loss of life was thankfully negligible, the cost upon our feeling of safety has been tragically devastating! I, myself, was accosted in my own home! Were it not for the heroic actions of my dear friend Tara, I have no certainty as to my own welfare today!" continued Sartana. This time, the applauses were directed at Tara, who waved back graciously.

"But the lesson we can take from this incident cannot be ignored! While it is true that SheZow and her superhero compatriots were able to save the day in the end, too many of our police officers and National Guardsmen were injured or worse before this victory was accomplished! That is why I have come before you today!" said Sartana, before motioning Tara to reveal what was under a sheet on a table onstage.

Beneath the sheet was high tech blue body armor, designed to partial mimic the muscles of a male body with a helmet designed to only leave the mouth exposed1! "This is the Sentinel body armor! Designed to be bullet proof, flame proof, and laser proof, this armor also increases the strength of the wearer tenfold! I am donating three sets of five to the Megadale police force, to help protect our boys in blue! Maintenance and repair not free and further suits cost sticker price!" declared Sartana, earning a brief laugh from the crowd before continuing, "And that's not all!"

Tara picked up what looked like a miniature hand cannon2 from the table for the audience to see. "This is the Peacekeeper 47! The latest in high policing equipment! Synchronizing with the helmets targeting system, this big beauty allows the user to change the ammo for every situation, from tazer shot for bringing a criminal in alive to high explosive round for more dangerous collars! One free with each Sentinel Armor! Further ammunition also sticker price along with maintenance!" said Sartana, sounding somewhat like a commercial. The Audience didn't seem to notice as they cheered her 'generosity!'

Back at the She-Lair, Kelly was absolutely fuming at this turn of events! "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! That…psycho turns the city into a warzone and now, rather than going to jail or even getting bankrupt, she's going to make fortune selling that armor and gear to the cops, not to mention the publicity in rebuilding the city! I thought that was what SURF3 was supposed to prevent!" declared Kelly angrily, with steam forming from her ears.

"Unfortunately, SURF wasn't designed for this much catastrophic damage." explained Sheila, trying to calm Kelly down, "The fund has been helpful with public utilities and works, but it can't cover all the homes and businesses damaged or destroyed in the war. As much as it pains me to say this, Sartana is actually helping a lot of people with this stunt."

"I think we're all forgetting something kind of important here…" started SheZow before angrily declaring, "HOW THE HECK IS SARTANA STILL ALIVE?! The Laser Lipstick Lance hit her directly in her heart! She shouldn't even be breathing, much less giving speeches!"

Shelia took a moment's pause before answering, "I have recently done a check of Sartana's medical records, and it definitely holds the answer." Pausing for a moment, Sheila brought up Sartana's medical, along with x-rays showing her internal organs.

"Of course!" declared Kelly, seeing the answer in x-ray charts, "She has situs inversus!"

"What?" asked Maz, having no idea what Kelly was talking about.

"Situs inversus is a genetic condition where the positions of organs in someone's body are placed in the mirror position of where they would normally be. Like the heart being on the right side instead of the left." explained Kelly simply.

Absorbing what Kelly was saying, SheZow couldn't help but feel both relieved and depressed. While he was truthfully relieved that he hadn't taken a life, the fact that Sartana was still around couldn't help but spoil his sense of victory. There was no way that Sartana had given up on her attempts to kill SheZow or posses his ring. Not to mention what Kelly had said earlier got him thinking….

"Hey Sheila," began to ask SheZow with a thoughtful look on his face, "Has Mega Monkey stopped giving us info?"

"Yes as a matter of fact he did. But not before delivering some disturbing information about Sartana's operation." explained Sheila, "It seems Sartana still is providing weapons and material for the super criminals of Megadale."

"But if she's giving stuff to both the police and the criminals…" started Maz, looking rather alarmed.

"It means she's already making preparations for the next war!" said Kelly, with a scowl on her face, "She'll make money off the suffering of everyone in this city! If this keeps up, someone is going to get killed!"

"Well," said SheZow honestly looking rather confident as he looked at the frozen image of Sartana on Sheila's screen, "We'll just have to be ready to stop her!"

THE END...FOR NOW!

Disclaimer: I don't own SheZow, though I do own the OC characters. Well it has been a fun ride, but all things must come to an end. I plan on making more SheZow 'episodes' in the interim for the sequel. Also I plan on making a few crossover stories (not all SheZow related), so keep an eye on my author page. I am going to take a week long rest first, but don't worry I'LL BE BAAACK! MUWHAHAHAHA!
