The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 14
After dealing with a giant monster and saving Kisala a woman named Lilika agrees to talk to the villagers to let them in so now the gang was heading back to the village
So are we heading back to the village? Punk said
Yes, hopefully we can get in this time. Kisala said
Will this Lilika woman really talk to the villagers? Banner said
She told us herself that she'll talk to them so let's trust her. Jaster said
Well let's hurry then. Batman said
Yeah, time to meet those women. Zegram said
Dude seriously again? Punk said
I'm kidding. Zegram said
You know there's something i can't get over. Sophitia said
What's that? Jaster said
Lilika's sister. Sophitia said
Oh yeah her sister. Punk said
It's so sad that she became blind because of a monster. Sophitia said
Yeah, i feel the exact way. Kisala said
Of course she's blind but there's nothing we can do about it. Punk said
It still feels sad though. Sophitia said
While she is blind at least she's still alive. Batman said
That's true. Kisala said
As they continue to walk through the forest someone was calling for them
Hey, wait up. a voice said
What did you say? Jaster said
Huh? I didn't say anything. Kisala said
Did you guys...? Jaster said
Wasn't me dude. Punk said
No. Batman said
I haven't said a word. Sophitia said
Not me. Banner said
But i thought- Jaster said
No, no, over here. the voice said
Hey, it wasn't me. Zegram said
Over here, look down, down! the voice said
They all looked down and saw a purple toad
Can't be...this thing? Jaster said
Oho, you finally noticed me! the purple toad said
A talking toad? Seriously? Punk said
Yeah, i'm a talking toad so what? the purple toad said
Who are you? Batman said
I'm Toady, i'm...a toad. Yeah, i live in this lake. the purple toad said
You can talk?! Kisala said
I already told you yes i can talk. Also you're real sharp. Happened all of a sudden, too. Toady said
Happened all of a sudden? Banner said
Yeah, musta been 'cause of that orange colored goop. Toady said
Orange colored goop...? Hmm... This must be the work of that rune. Zegram said
What do you mean? Sophitia said
Rune speeds up the process of evolution and turns living things into beasts. Zegram said
You got that right. Ever since it fell from the sky, the jungle's been full of all kinds of weird stuff. My buddy he got all huge and went kinda crazy. you know- the beast that you defeated earlier. Toady said
Wait you mean the monster we just defeated was your friend? Punk said
Yup, but hey, you know, i don't blame you for it. It's better this way. If he'd survived...i... Oh man, what a shame...! Toady said
Come on, let's leave this lump and be on our way. Zegram said
No, wait! Hang on, take me with you! Come on guys, don't be such a stick in the mud! I really want to come along for the ride. Toady said
What did you say? Zegram said
Who'd want to live our their life in this swamp? Besides, if i stay here much longer, i might end up like one of them. Toady said
That ain't our problem! Now scat! Zegram said
Wow wow wow wow, hey, it's not like you don't stand to benefit! Toady said
Ignore him, just tell us what you can do? Punk said
I can talk, right? Toady said
Yeah, we already know that. Banner said
Well that's not the only thing that i can do. I also got this interesting new power. I bet it'll come in handy, my friends. Toady said
Toady was looking around and some stuff Jaster was carrying and grabbed them with his tongue
Here, let me borrow these. Toady said
What the?! Jaster said
Toady swallowed the two weapons Jaster was carrying and spit out a new weapon
Okay what just happened? Punk said
What...? What did you just do? Kisala said
I have the power to mix together the things that i eat. Toady said
Really? Batman said
Yeah, it's like i can fuse together two different items. Pretty cool, eh? Toady said
Neat. Punk said
Yeah, it sure is. Kisala said
As Jaster's two weapons were fused into one weapon he now had the Ridge Crusher
If you bring me with you, i can combine the items you find and make cooler new items. I'm beggin' you! Let me come along! Toady said
What do you think? Kisala said
All my friends have turned into monsters... i'll be all by myself if i stay here. Please! Toady said
They all nodded and agreed
All right. You can come with us. Jaster said
Whoa, you kiddin'? Seriously? Oh Excellent! This'll be great! Toady said
Excited that he gets to go with them he ran towards Zegram and grabbed him
Hey! What are you doing? Ack! Get offa me! I hate creepy things like you! Go bug someone else! Zegram said
So...shouldn't we get going? Punk said
Oh right, let's go. Jaster said
Meanwhile

Get out? But i just got here. Lobo said
Well now you have to leave at once. the second man said

Lobo pulled out a photo and it showed the Warriors

No we haven't seen them before? the man said
Is that right? Lobo said
Yes, it is now please leave. the second man said
Alright fine. Lobo said as he got on his bike but not before he turned back to the people
Listen up if you see these guys tell them i'll be waiting for them. Lobo said as he showed the picture again for everyone to see
Wait where are you going? the man said
Gonna go kill some time while i wait so obviously i'm gonna blow some stuff up. Anyway, later asswipes. Lobo said as he left
What's an asswipe? the second man said
I have no idea. the man said
Back to the gang
They were still walking through the forest until they finally made it back to the village then they saw a guy talking to the guards someone was groaning as they were walking
What's that? Jaster said
I don't know but it doesn't sound good. Banner said
Whoa! Jaster yelled
They stopped as a man who was walking by came in and he was not looking good
What in blazes...? Zegram said
What's going on? the guy said as he rushed over to the man after he was done talking with the guards
The man didn't say anything as he fell on his knees and threw up purple vomit and after he was done he died
Ah! one of the guards said
They looked on his back and saw purple scars
Huh? Kisala said scared
Okay this is messed up. Punk said
It's the effect of the Dark Fruit again... Bury him. the guy said
What's...going on here? Kisala said
You guys are outsiders, huh? I don't know what you want, but we're a little busy here, as you can see. Leave. the guy said
Another guard came in
Qrann, the chief wants to see you. the guard said
I'll be right there. Look i don't have time for you intruders. Go on, get out of here. Qrann said as he and the other guard left
Okay that was rude. Punk said
So now what? Banner said
Let's just go inside and see what's up. Jaster said
Jaster's right maybe we can help out. Batman said
Alright let's do it. Punk said
