The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 38
After visiting Angela's bar the gang was once again heading out to the underground area to find the tablets they were also joined by Deego who agreed to help them out what they didn't know was that Lobo heard the whole thing by the doorway and was telling the story to Lord Dominator
Ancient tablets? Lord Dominator said
Yeah and they can grant any wish. Lobo said
Any wish? Lord Dominator said
Yup. Lobo said
Interesting. Lord Dominator said
So what's the plan? Lobo said
Simple you need to go find one of these tablets and bring it to me. Lord Dominator said
No problem. Lobo said
I hope so. And just to make sure you do i'm sending you a partner. Lord Dominator said
A partner? Lobo said
Yes. Lord Dominator said
Okay who is it? Lobo said
His name is Tighten. Lord Dominator said
Tighten? That's a stupid name. Lobo said
Yes it's very stupid. Lord Dominator said
So what's so special about him? Lobo said
Well he was once an ordinary man named Hal until he got superpowers from Megamind. Megamind pretended to be a space dad to him and trained him to be a hero. Hal told him about a girl that he liked named Roxanne and Megamind told him to go and save her so he can get the girl and become a hero. Lord Dominator said
And did he get the girl? Lobo said
Unfortunately no. After rescuing the girl she rejected him. Lord dominator said
Man that must've hurt him good. Lobo said
Indeed. His heart was broken and Hal soon realized he wasn't cut for being a hero and turned evil. He wanted Megamind to join him so that they can cause chaos together. But Megamind refused and revealed the truth to Hal. Lord Dominator said
Was he angry? Lobo said
Extremely. Lord Dominator said
What happened next? Lobo said
Hal and Megamind had a fight against each other. Hal won the first round but Megamind won the second and got the girl. Lord Dominator said
Did he get sent to jail? Lobo said
Not only that but he also lost his powers. Lord Dominator said
He lost his powers? How? Lobo said
Megamind used a device to take away his powers after he defeated him. He was then sentenced to jail. Lord Dominator
Let me guess you broke him out of jail and gave him his powers back? Lobo said
Yes. Lord Dominator said
Impressive. Lobo said
Thank you. Lord Dominator said
So when is this guy coming? Lobo said
He should be coming right now. Lord Dominator said
Suddenly from out of nowhere a muscular man with red hair, freckles, and wearing a white and red suit came flying in and landed
What's up? the muscular man said
So you must be Tighten huh? Lobo said
Yup that's me. Tighten said
Why'd you named yourself Tighten? Lobo said
I didn't chose the name. My space d... i mean Megamind chose the name. Tighten said
Yeah about that...what's with the space dad thing? Lobo said
I don't know i thought he looked like a space dad. Tighten said
And you believed it? Lobo said
Yeah and i looked like a fool. Tighten said
Obviously. Lobo said
I mean i trusted that guy but he lied to me about everything. Tighten said
Oh i know. Lobo said
Wait how do you know? Tighten said
My boss told me about you. Lobo said
He did? Tighten said
Yeah he did. Lobo said
What else did he tell you? Tighten said
That you and that Megamind guy had fight, you won and then he won, you lost your powers and got sent to jail. Lobo said
So you must know everything. Tighten said
Yup everything. Lobo said
Whoa. Tighten said
Yeah i know. Lobo said
So anyway...what's the job? Tighten said
Simple you and i are going to find some ancient tablets. Lobo said
A tablet? What's so special about a tablet? Tighten said
Well they can grant any wish. Lobo said
A tablet that can grant any wish? Tighten said
Yeah that's right. Lobo said
That is so cool. Tighten said
You bet your ass it's cool. Lobo said
So where are these tablets? Tighten said
Underground. Lobo said
Underground? We have to look for them underground? Tighten said
Yeah got a problem with that? Lobo said
Uh no sir. Tighten said
Good now shut up and let's get going. Lobo said
Right. Tighten said
Meanwhile
The gang along with Deego are heading to the underground place to find the tablets
Thanks for coming with us Deego. Jaster said
I'm just helping you guys get these tablets. Once we're done i'm leaving. Deego said
You shouldn't feel sad at Angela's bar. Kisala said
Sad? What are you talking about? Deego said
At Angela's bar i saw you looking sad. Kisala said
Look i'm fine don't worry about it. Deego said
Are you sure? Kisala said
Yes. Deego said
So what's your story? Punk said
I was a war hero. But that was a long time ago. Deego said
That's it? Punk said
Yup. Deego said
Well i'm a fighter. Punk said
Good for you. Deego said
While they were walking Hulk was hearing footsteps as there was some people that came in
Wait. Hulk said
What is it Hulk? Kisala said
Hulk hear footsteps. Hulk said
Footsteps? Is someone coming big guy? Punk said
Yes. Hulk said
Where? Jaster said
Suddenly a barrage of bullets were shot to the floor and the gang saw a group of familiar bad guys it was Gale and the mafia people from before
Not you again! Jaster said
Heh heh heh heh! the bad looking guy laughed
What do you guys want? Punk said
I saw a suspicious looking ship dock at port-and guess what? It's yours. Hey, Deego! Want to get yourself taken in on aiding and abetting charges? Gale said
And what would you do? Want to take me on? I won't stand here and be defeated by one of Morarty's lapdogs. Deego said
Go on, taunt me while you still can. Once Morarty's trade with Daytron succeeds, i'll be rolling in the zehn. Then it's farewell, Vedan. Gale said
Wait... you're not serious...are you considering going back to the military?! Deego said
Who knows? No more chit-chat. I've been given orders by Zax Morarty to do away with the lot of you. Gale said
Sounds like you're asking for a fight. Punk said
What do you think? Gale said
Okay we'll take you on. Jaster said
Deego? Kisala said
(Signs) Deego signed
Perfect. Alright boys kill them. Gale said
A few minutes later
The gang took out all of Morarty's mafia men
Huh...worthless goons! Deego, you loser! Howl all you want-it won't change a thing! I'm not like you, you know. You don't see me rolling over and playing dead! Gale said
Don't you get it? The military doesn't need outdated soldiers like us anymore! Deego said
Shut up! Watch your back, Deego. Payback's a bitch. Move...! Gale said
Hee hee hee! the bad looking guy laughed again
Gale, the bad looking guy, and Morarty's men then left
Urgh... Deego said
You guys have some history huh? Punk said
Yeah we have some history. Deego said
Deego... Kisala said
He's changed. He's sold his soul to get back into space. Deego said
So both of you guys used to be soldiers? Jaster said
Yeah, a long time ago. But Longardia's changed...there's no place for us now. I don't know why you can't get that through your head, Gale. Back then...competing with you to be top dog...how the mighty have fallen. Deego said
Oh, no! a voice said
The gang turned and saw Burton running towards them
Burton...? Jaster said
What are you doing here old man? Punk said
It's a disaster, an absolute disaster! Somethin' terrible's happened! Burton said
What's going on? Kisala said
Someone set the bar on fire! Burton said
What?! Could it have been...Gale? Deego said
Hurry up it's burning right down to the ground, but Angela is refusing to leave the bar! Burton said
Oh no! Come on, Deego, let's go! Kisala said
I hope you're all right, Angela... Deego said
The gang then ran off as they were heading back to Angela's bar to see if she is okay but what they didn't noticed was that the bad looking guy was standing behind a pillar and was listening
Hee hee... the bad looking guy laughed once again
Uh oh Angela's bar is on fire but who could've done such a thing we'll get some answers soon stay tuned
