Sinbad and the War of the Furies Page #6

She was thrown into the cavern.

Only thinking about

himself, Sindibad killed

the woman and took her

rations to stay alive.

He did this two more times with

two other women thrown into the tomb.

Eventually he had enough rations

to regain his strength and escape.

Those three women he killed

became the Furies.

The stone he used to beat

them dead was the actual

hardened heart of

the slain Medusa,

discarded in the cave,

but given new life by the anger

of the three murdered women.

Resurrected by mad magic

as the Furies,

they swore to one day use the

stone to punish all men

for Old Sindibad for Old

Sindibad's crimes.

The stone keeps them confined to

this earth in an infinite cycle.

As long as their rage is eternal,

their lifeline will have no end.

So is the stone a life

force for them?

Would explain the desire

and need for it.

And why they never stay dead.

Each night they're born anew.

Old Sindibad's eighth voyage was

meant to be one of redemption.

To use his wrath to

break their rage.

He died before completing it.

But perhaps that for you to do.

Cardinal?

Ace, wait.

Get back pretty boy.

Get your hand off the

butter knife.

Hello, treasure hunter.

I'd like my property back, hmm?

Where is the Heart of Medusa?

How dare you enter my home!

You are a terrible host.

We came all this way

just to see you.

Cy, find the stone. I want to

test my theory of it.

Right here.

Right now.

Oh yeah, you got a

theory?

What "theory" is that?

Unlike you, this stone has

untapped potential.

Cy, find the stone.

Where is the stone?

Sebastian,

tell him where he can find it.

Yes, Sebastian.

Really?

Drop it!

Hey, hey! Stab her

neck.

I will filet your neck right now if

you don't tell him to let her go.

Oh you won't

dare, Big boy.

Snap her neck,

Let her go!

Let her go!

He's going to snap her neck.

It's easy.

She's going to die.

Don't snap her neck. Tell

him not to snap her neck.

Let go of me first and

I'll let her live.

Oh? Hmm? Then you'll get a

little on the side? Huh?

Huh?

Eh?

- Alright.

- You like that?

Yeah,

Wow.

Wow.

You. Little rich man.

You're going to tell me where

the Heart of Medusa is?

Because you know and I don't.

I want to find it so badly. Hmm?

Right on time.

Who's that?

Sure as hell ain't the

Avon lady.

We better get the

hell out of here.

No. No.

We don't have to

do anything. Hmm?

Cy, go check the door.

Fine, you stay here watch them.

Me and my new friend will

go check the door, okay?

Manta.

I would listen to Sinbad.

Cy, you're my bodyguard.

I pay you to guard my body.

You're going to go first.

Then we're going to

come in after you.

And you, my man,

you're doing great.

You keep your gun on them.

If he sneezes you shoot

him in the kneecap, okay?

What are you doing? Go.

He punched me in the throat.

I will punch you in the

clavicle. Go! Now!

Promotions for you.

Who wants to play?

Did you order strippers?

What's wrong with you?

Hand over.

Ta-ta-ta-ta. Who are you?

What do you want?

Rage shouldn't be wasted on

those we have no quarrel with.

So let's not disappoint them.

What is this, hmm?

Some kind of parlor fit for you

try to seduce me? No, no. no.

I want you.

Do you want me?

Ehh! No, you're woman...

She's got no penis for

me to play with.

What is wrong with you and

your stupid lady brain.

Always...

Bob, get in here!

Take care of these women.

Trust me. You do not want to hear

what these women have to say.

Come on.

We can get out

through here!

Too high. We need a rope

or something.

They're going to bust

their way in.

Not if we barricade the door.

Come on.

Take that.

This should buy us some time.

Oh God.

is it some kind of acid or

something?

I don't know. It look magical.

I'm taking it.

Okay. Come on.

Books.

Come on.

Swords.

What the heck is this?

Sword. Big flower thing.

Jax, are you serious?

Everything else Ace's shown us

in here has worked. Why not this?

- How?

- I think it's a good idea.

- Ask.

- The Genie is a jerk.

Do it! Hurry!

I don't have time to take

a Rosetta Stone class.

Speak English!

That's a demand.

Not a wish.

What?

How do I use that?

You really want to know?

- Yes!

- I'll tell you.

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

Oh my god! They're breaking in.

Wake up!

I know how to fly carpets!

Come on.

Get on.

Steering.

Breaking systems.

- Ready?

- Start the thing!

Are you okay?

I didn't need my

spleen anyway.

Oh no!

The stone is okay.

It's still in tact.

Don't look directly into it,

Jax.

Oh God.

Ace was right.

It does hurt to look at it.

Aww, is it beautiful.

Come on. We have to get Ace and

bring Manta to the authorities.

Authorities?

Sinbad, you're a wanted man.

They're just going to arrest you.

Then I'll do my time.

I'm tired of hiding.

No more running away.

You're going legit?

I guess I am.

I knew you were a lousy thief.

I suck at it.

You know, I have to admit,

this whole time I secretly blamed

you for what your father did to me.

Taking credit for my work.

Stealing everything I ever had.

You're nothing like your father.

I wish that were true.

Why didn't you take the stone and run?

Yeah, with those things

running every night?

I don't think so.

And I did wait for you,

didn't I?

You wanted to cut me out and

take the stone all for yourself.

Don't tell me that my act was so

convincing that I fooled the great Manta.

Don't try to out b*tch a b*tch.

Thank God you're alive.

I was worried you'd been

knocked into a coma.

Why are you doing this, Jax?

Mr. Siridad! Just in time.

You two are in this together.

I found the location of the stone and

Manta brought the man power to get it.

And you almost ruined everything

with your big man muscles.

Yeah.

Of all the caves you could have explored,

Sinbad. Why that one? Huh?

All through I'm still not sure

why I still let you convince me

I should leave the stone

where I found it.

I was right about it being

guarded, wasn't I?

Jax, why are you doing this?

I have my reasons.

One hundred million to be exact.

One hundred million split

between us. Hmm?

Of course.

You said the stone couldn't be

used as a weapon.

What mystical powers it has,

I still don't know.

But it does have a

practical use.

It is after all, it's

still a mineral.

The Heart of Medusa

is actually a complex

emerald made up of

chromium and vanadium.

Chromium helps regulate your

blood sugar and vanadium is

a very rare chemical capable

of binding steel together.

The gun chips off a bit of

the gem here,

the it oxides in

this chamber,

and when the particles are combined

and projected into someone...

It turns them to stone.

In a way.

The overdose of chromium

ruptures your blood vessels,

carrying the vanadium throughout your body,

hardening all your

organic tissue

- before you finally combust.

- We call it the Medusa 2.0.

All through I wanted to call it the

gore gun, but Jax here thought...

Isn't it fascinating?
