The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 40
The gang was now heading deeper into the mines to find Gale, Lobo and Tighten while also finding the ancient tablets which they can use to find treasure
So how long have you known Gale? Punk said
For a long time. Like i said we were friends once but it was a long time ago. Deego said
You must have had a tough past Deego. Jaster said
Yup i sure did. Deego said
Maybe you can get Gale to stop what he's doing and be friends again. Kisala said
Fat chance. Deego said
What? Kisala said
Even if i tried to stop him he won't listen to reason. Deego said
But you two were once friends shouldn't you try to make up? Kisala said
As much as i want to make up with Gale it won't happen. Deego said
Why not? Kisala said
Gale's just a stubborn person that's all. Deego said
Why purple man stubborn? Hulk said
It's...it's complicated. Deego said
Sounds serious. Punk said
Trust me it does. Deego said
Serious or not you two should still make up. Kisala said
(Signs) alright i'll talk to him. Deego said
Good. Kisala said
Guys i found an elevator. Jaster said
Okay then let's go inside. Punk said
A few minutes later
The gang was inside the elevator until they arrived in the excavation site they were running until they stopped suddenly Deego yelled
Ga-ale! Deego yelled
Dude that was loud. Punk said
Sorry i just only wanted Gale's attention. Deego said
Hey do you guys hear something? Kisala said
Hear what? Punk said
That. Kisala said
The gang listened and then saw a bunch of missiles flying towards them
Oh crap Punk said
The gang braced themselves as the missiles flew not towards them but at the ground
Phew that was close. Punk said
It's not over. Deego said
Right. Punk said
Gale! Deego said
The Gang ready themselves as a giant robot came in and approached them
A giant robot? Punk said
Where's Gale? Jaster said
He's inside the robot. Deego said
He is? Kisala said
Suddenly Gale came out of the giant robot
Oh he was inside. Kisala said
So it's you, Deego! Gale said
Open your eyes, Gale! Don't do anything stupid-like rejoining the military. Deego said
I'm not about to live my life a loser like you. Now...i'm gonna reclaim everything i've lost Gale said
Dude you've seriously lost your mind. Punk said
I didn't lose my mind. It's perfectly fine. Gale said
Sure it is. Punk said
Don't you get it, Gale?! This will never bring back what we've lost! Come on! Deego said
Gale didn't say anything else as hopped back into the giant robot
Gale! Deego yelled again
I don't think he cares. Punk said
Damn. Deego said
So much for making up and being friends again. Punk said
Don't worry we just need to defeat him and make him understand right? Kisala said
I mean i guess that could work. Punk said
Okay then how about we start right now. Jaster said
Good idea. Punk said
Right! Gale i'm going to bring you down. Deego said
Ha ha ha i'd like to see you try. Gale said
A few more minutes later
The gang had destroyed Gale's giant robot
Urk! Gale groaned
Gale's giant robot then explodes behind him
Jaster, Kisala, Punk, and Hulk-i'll handle this. Deego said
What? Jaster said
Please. Deego said
Deego... Jaster said
Dude let him have this. Punk said
Punk's right Jaster. This is Deego's fight. Kisala said
Alright. Jaster said
Huh. Gale said
Deego and Gale then approached each other
End of the line, Gale. There's still time. Bring back the old Gale. Deego said
Humph...who are you to talk? You've given up on life! You actually think your past crimes are forgiven just because you let your life go to hell? I'm not like you, you know. No...i'm going to reclaim everything i've lost. Gale said
So...that's your decision? Deego said
Deego then started to charge at Gale while he pulled out his guns
All right, Deego-let's finish this! Gale said
Like i said before Gale. I'm going to bring you down. Deego said
Another few minutes later
The gang had watched as Deego took down Gale once and for all
Urk...it's not over yet...i'm... Gale said
While Deego celebrated his win the mine started to shake a bit
What the-?! Jaster said
What's going on? Punk said
Look over there! Kisala said
It can't be! Deego said
The gang then ran and saw something they couldn't believe
Is that- Jaster said
The gang saw a giant ship taking what appears to be the ancient tablet
The tablet...! Deego said
Guess the trade's complete. Gale said
Trade? Punk said
That's right. Gale said
One of the machines from the ship started to fire a laser at Gale
What?! Gale said
Gale then dodged the laser that was fired from the machine
Of all the...Morarty-why?! Gale said
He probably thinks you served your purpose. Punk said
What? Gale said
Do you get it now, Gale? The Morarty clan doesn't care about you at all. They were just using you. Deego said
The ship then left with the tablet
He he he...yeah...again. Just like they did back then. And you were right all along, Deego. But it seems you WERE wrong about one thing. I didn't get involved with the tablet negotiations for money or for a ticket back to the military. You see, Morarty promised me. He told me the tablet would bring an end to this war. That it's mysteries would be unraveled so the fortunes of Eden could bless the galaxy with abundant resources. Gale said
And you believed them? Deego said
No...more like...i wanted to believe. If we are to atone for the crimes we committed, we have to put an end to this foolish conflict. All i wanted to recover...was my pride. My pride as a human, not as a soldier. Gale said
Gale...you're... Deego said
Deego, it's time for me to go. Gale said
Where are you going, Gale? There's nowhere left for you. Deego said
Sure there is. Just one place. Gale said
Gale then took out a coin and passed it to Deego
Keep that-and i'll see you on the starry seas. Gale said
Deego received an officer's coin from Gale
Well...see ya later Deego. Gale said
See ya...Gale. Deego said
Before Gale could leave a bullet was fired and it went straight into Gale's arm
Ugh. Gale groaned
Gale. Deego said
What the hell? Punk said
Deego and the others went and checked on Gale was hurt badly in the arm
Gale are you okay? Deego said
I'm fine but man it hurts. Gale said
Let me help you. Kisala said
Thank you. Gale said
Alright whoever you are show yourself right now so i can pummel you. Deego said
Suddenly out of nowhere Lobo who is holding his gun and his partner Tighten show up
Man that was one of the dumbest speeches i've ever heard. Lobo said
Lobo. the others said
Who? Deego and Gale said
He's a bounty hunter and he's dangerous. Punk said
Oh i see. Deego said
Wait who's that? Jaster said as he pointed at Tighten
Oh my god...Tighten? Punk said
Tighten? the others said
He was once an ordinary man but then he got powers. He tried to use them for good but now he uses them for evil. Punk said
Oh no. Kisala said
Yup it's me Tighten. The greatest villain in the world. Tighten said
Don't forget about me, Lobo, the main man of this operation. Lobo said
You're the guy that tried to kidnap Lilika's sister. Kisala said
Guilty as charged. Lobo said
Not only did you try to kidnap a defenseless blind child but now you shot Deego's friend? What is wrong with you? Kisala said
What can i say i'm a badass. Lobo said
You're awful. Kisala said
Why thank you. Lobo said
That wasn't a compliment. Kisala said
Why did you shoot Deego's friend? Jaster said
No reason...other than the fact that he's a total loser. Lobo said
Keep talking freakshow...cause if i wasn't in pain right now...i would've kicked your ass. Gale said
I doubt it. Lobo said
Why are you here anyway? Punk said
I'm looking for an ancient tablet. Same as you guys. Lobo said
Well too bad...you just missed it. Deego said
Where is it? Lobo said
Morarty took it. Gale said
Seriously? Lobo said
Yes. Gale said
Well looks like i'm going on a hunt. Come on Tighten, let's go. Lobo said
Alright. Tighten said
What are you trying to do, Lobo? Kisala said
It's none of your damn business, sweetheart. Anyway, see ya. Lobo said
Lobo and Tighten then left to find Morarty and the ancient tablet
Damn. What is wrong with that guy? Deego said
He's just an asshole. That's what. Punk said
A huge asshole i'll say. Deego said
Uh oh Gale got hurt by Lobo very badly and it looks like Lobo isn't done yet as he and Tighten continue to find the ancient tablet while the gang waits for Kisala to tend to Gale's wound stay tuned
