The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 16
The gang was finally now in Burkaqua Village but some stuff has happened few villagers have died from eating Dark Fruit and the only way to stop it is with a sacrifice and the person chosen for it was Miri
It was morning a group of guards were all gathered in lines of two and the villagers were lying on the ground Lilika was walking with her sister as it was time for the sacrifice also the Village Chief was waiting for Miri
Well...i'll be going now. Miri said
Miri, are you all right? the Chief said
I'll be fine. Take care, Chief. Miri said
Miri... Lilika said
Well, then... you be careful, child. the Chief said
Miri! a voice said
Nnrrgh! another voice said
Qrann was being held back by Guards as he was trying to stop the sacrifice
Miri...! Qrann said
The guards furiously pushed him to the ground
Still trying to butt in, Qrann? You're a warrior, have some pride! the guard said
Miri! Qrann said
We bequeath the maiden's spirit to the altar of the Star God! the Chief said
All the other villagers were muttering ancient language for the Star God
Dammit! Qrann said as he was still on the ground
The gang was now watching Lilika walking with her sister for the sacrifice
Wait... Kisala said
Stop right there. This is a holy rite of the Star God. Don't interfere. Lilika said
Lilika... Jaster said
So you're really gonna do this? Punk said
We have no other choice...this is it... Lilika said
Lilika and her sister kept walking
A sacrifice...this isn't right. Kisala said
I agree. Sophitia said
Leave 'em alone-it ain't our place to butt in. Let them deal with this problem on their own. Zegram said
But we just can't stand by and let this happen! We have to stop them! Kisala said
Seriously? Punk said
Yes, seriously we have to go after them, you guys! Kisala said
Aww man, why do i have to get involved? Zegram said
Look she says we have to stop them so let's just do it. Banner said
Banner's right we have to hurry. Sophitia said
(Signs) fine let's go. Zegram said
A few minutes later
They were walking through the forest again until they saw two talking with each other next to a destroyed ship
What's this? Zegram said
A downed ship? Jaster said
Hmm, this looks like a Zerardian cruiser. Zegram said
Zerardian cruiser? Batman said
Yeah, it probably crashed here while on a tour of the Juraikan wilderness. Zegram said
Day...Daytron. Kisala said as she was reading something on the destroyed ship
Daytron? Is that it's name? Punk said
Yup Daytron is the galaxy's top spaceship manufacturer. Kinda strange that it crashed...they're famous for their quality. Zegram said
Zegram! Jaster said
The others turned to see that Jaster had found something
Eh?...huh? Ah! What's that? Zegram said
I just found it. Any ideas? Jaster said as he held a strange gun
Looks like a freeze shot. It's a gun that'll freeze anything it shoots. Zegram said
You mean like Mr. Freeze? Punk said
Mr. who? Zegram said
How do you know about Mr. Freeze? Batman said
Oh i uh...watch the news. Punk said
Really? Batman said
Oh yeah, definitely. Punk said
Okay seriously who's this Mr. Freeze guy? Zegram said
He's an enemy of mine. Batman said
An enemy? Zegram said
Yes but don't worry he's not here. Batman said
You sure? Zegram said
Positive. Batman said
Alright i believe you. Zegram said
Wonder if it's still usable? Jaster said
Jaster pointed the gun at somewhere and tried to fire it but nothing happened
Guess not. There's still some charge left, though. Jaster said
Oh well, i doubt there's anyone on this planet who'd know how to fix that thing. Zegram said
Well that sucks. Punk said
Yeah...that's a real shame... Jaster said
Let's keep going. Sophitia said
Right. Jaster said
A few more minutes later
They were still walking through the forest until they saw another house
Hey look another house. Banner said
Let me guess...another crazy person lives here? Punk said
Maybe, maybe not but we won't know until we find out. Kisala said
Then let's go find out. Zegram said
As they were approaching the house they stopped for a moment
Huh? Jaster said
There are loud sounds coming from the house until suddenly the door opened
Get out! a voice yelled
Uwaaah! the person said as he was thrown out of the house the person was revealed to be Qrann
A strange man with goggles like the other two men came out
You need my help, huh? Why now?! It's a little late for you to be makin' requests. I don't care one bit about that stupid village! And you can tell the chief i said so! Tell 'im they'd be plenty safe if they'd only had machines! the man said
Nrgh... fine then! Qrann said as he got up and ran off
Well that was pretty random. Punk said
Too random if you ask me. Zegram said
The strange man then noticed the gang
Hmm? What's with you? Do you need somethin' from me? the man said
Er, no, nothing really... Jaster said
Whaa? Is that...? No, it can't be... the man said
Can't be what? Banner said
I smell...a gadget! Where is it?! the man said
Huh? Jaster said as he was confused
Whoa! That's a rare thing you've got there! That's a Freeze Shot, isn't it? the man said
Huh? What? Oh, this? Well, yeah, but it's broken. Jaster said
Broken? Then FIX IT! Don't let it go to waste! Poor thing...can't you feel its pain? the man said
Um...what? Punk said
Here, lemme see! the man said as he tried to grab the broken freeze shot gun from Jaster but it fell to the ground and everyone except Batman and Zegram freaked out
Aaack! Oh, rats! Glue! Where's my glue?! the man said
The man grabbed pieces of the gun as he went inside to repair it with glue while the gang was waiting
Wonder if it's okay? Jaster said
Well, we got nothing to lose, at least. Kisala said
True. Banner said
Hey, can a Freeze Shot ice over rivers and stuff like that? Kisala said
That should be a piece of cake. A good model could even freeze a waterfall. Zegram said
Seriously? Punk said
Wow, that's cool! Kisala said
You all-promise me one thing. the man said
They all turned to the strange man
What is it? Batman said
No usin' machines for evil! Only use 'em to help people! Don't use 'em to hurt anyone! And that is my policy. the man said
Relax dude we got the message. Punk said
Good anyway here you go. the man said as he gave the Freeze Shot gun back to Jaster
Is it fixed? Jaster said
Try it and see! the man said
Jaster pointed the Freeze Shot gun at somewhere and accidentally shot the strange man he was now frozen
Holy crap! Banner said
Looks like it worked. Punk said
We should probably help him though. Sophitia said
Yeah, good idea. Jaster said
They all grabbed the iced man and laid him in the water he was now floating in after the ice melted he was free
Sorry about that... you okay? Jaster said
Wh-What did i tell you 'bout hurtin' people?! You gotta be more careful! Machines are for helpin', not for hurtin'! the man said
It was only an accident sir. Sophitia said
Phew... well, you're just startin' out, so i guess i'll let this one slide. But from now on, watch where you point that thing! the man said
Got it. Banner said
Anyway, there ya go. You're all set. See you later. the man said
Thanks a lot, Sherio. Kisala said
See ya. Jaster said
The gang then left and went back to the forest while the strange man was still in the water
Machines aren't bad unless you misuse 'em. It's the users that makes the difference. I wonder if the chief'll ever understand that... the man said
Back to the gang
Sherio? Punk said
Yeah, it's his name isn't it? Kisala said
Sounds kind of weird if you ask me. Punk said
I suppose you're right. Kisala said
We'll talk about this later right now we need to stop the sacrifice. Batman said
Right. Kisala said
Another few more minutes later
The gang were once again walking in the forest until they stopped and notice that Zegram was missing
Huh?! Wait, where's Zegram? Kisala said
I don't see him anywhere. Banner said
Huh? But he was just here... Jaster said
Where could he be? Sophitia said
They begin looking for Zegram but failed to notice that he was hiding behind a wall
Look at 'em, what a couple of fools... Zegram said
Zegram was chilling until his phone started ringing so he answered it
It's me. We got held up in Juraika. No i'm fine. Roger that. These Dorgengoa losers'll get us to our goal soon enough. Yeah. I'll call again when i'm done here. Later. Zegram said
Oh no it appears Zegram is working for someone and the others don't anything about what does this mean stay tuned
