Chapter 6 the coffin part two

Robin looked at the king confused by his statement, "A coffin? Really!? Why a coffin? Why can't you get it? Why send us?" X whilst watching the hilarious parody laughed at the T.V. and answered his question. "I'm sending you because I have work to do, such as replacing the cure for vampirism you foolishly disposed of."

"But why a coffin?"

"because you got rid of my cure I need to sleep in a coffin that's bound by chains so that I don't devour each and every one of you. When the time comes for the cure to be administered my androids will do it so that nobody gets hurt or killed."

"So we don't have a choice, but wait why can't you build another?"

"It took me fifty years to find the parts of the coffin necessary so that it would be airtight, indestructible, and keep me from teleporting out. Nothing goes in or out without this key." X held up his cross necklace and showed them that the design on the silver cross was unlike any other. "Oh and in my absence I need someone to keep the world from falling into anarchy and sign off any legal documents that have new laws that came from the bible with reference to the exact book, chapter, and verse written as a way of checking, and make sure to check my bible because I translated it myself directly from the language it was written in to Latin. Everyone in my staff can read Latin and they've all been issued a copy. Those are the job requirements anyone up for the challenge of being me for a day." Everyone looked at Victor as if he was most qualified so he said, "what are you all looking at me for." Robin was the first to answer "you are the Christian here and if you don't speak Latin you can probably ask one of the androids to read his bible to you" Starfire continued his statement, "We think you would have the easiest of times understanding such an old book" Raven made her case. "I can't touch the walls or floors of this castle without getting burned by the blessed silver. Beastboy was the last to speak on the subject, "you would be great at it bro." X continued his laughter until he noticed that they still haven't left and said," you guys are still here I thought I sent you guys to get me that coffin before I go psycho killer on your entire dimension go get it before I get hungry I've never killed anyone before and I won't start now."

later at the tower

"Okay guys lets get in and out as fast as we can to keep the christian king from killing anyone" the titans entered the room they temporarily gave the king to find a shocking discovery the entire room was filled with vegetation the floor was covered in grass the windows were all open and the plants were home to so many different animals such as dear, squirrels, butterflies, and cats the plants ranged from grass and flowers to trees and bushes "when did he have time to do this?" their leader said before actually looking for the coffin. "shouldn't we be looking for X's coffin?" Raven asked they were all so taken aback by his fondness for nature that they were oblivious to the fact that the coffin was in the exact middle of the room with a tree on each side bathed in a ray of sunlight in the single most visible place in the somewhat dark room as the sun set on that crimson horizon the room looked almost as if it were a forest trapped in technology and as the titans admired the beauty of the room X had changed Starfire looked to the center of the room and easily found what they were looking for. and she said" friends I have discovered the final resting place of the king." Raven looked to where Starfire was pointing and said, "how did we miss that it's right in the middle of everything." the titans each helped remove the coffin from betwixt the trees and carry the heavy wooden box

later at X's castle

"we brought you the coffin like you asked." just then Raven saw writing on the coffin that she could not see in the dim light of the sun as it set over the crimson horizon. "Hey what does it say on the lid of the coffin."

"Those are the Latin words for psalm 2:8"

"can you read it to us but in English so that we know what your saying none of us know the bible by heart?"

"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and for thy possession, the ends of the earth. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces, like a potters vessel. Be wise now therefore, ye kings. Be admonished, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, though his wrath is kindled but a little."

X then walker up to Victor and said," Victor Stone formerly known as cyborg I present you with my cross and with it control over my kingdom my servants and my money." X took the cross necklace off and put it on Victor as one would a metal the second he let go of the cross the suit he was wearing was on Victor and X was left wearing robes that an angel might have worn in a drawing or an old painting he than gave him the giant silver cross he carried with him everywhere and said, "this is now your cross to bear."he then proceeded to give him an instruction manual explaining how to work the cross before entering the coffin, and being locked inside by his servants who looked sad to see him gone. so the temporary king said, "why so sad he wasn't very nice to you." one of the androids said,"you don't understand we like working it makes us feel important like at least someone cared if we existed or not he would always be so understanding if we told him that we needed the day off and every Saturday we would watch hilarious comedy together. " so Victor looked down at the floor and thought that maybe X made them work so hard was because they wanted to do the workand as he looked down saddened by his sudden realization the androids offered him the food X was going to eat before he was unable to because of the ineffective cure he excepted their offer and ate the best sandwich he had ever tasted once he figured out that he could shape shift his mouth as an added feature to the kingdom and every thing else he had X's powers as well
