The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 43
While the gang was busy landing in Rosa we now see Lobo who is talking with Valkog and Norma the woman he met on Zerard as they were inside a ship that Valkog was presenting
So you're the one who took the tablet huh? Lobo said
That's right. Norma said
Norma do you know this guy? Valkog said
We met back on Zerard. Norma said
Really? Valkog said
Yup. Norma said
Also we went on a date. Lobo said
How nice. Valkog said
So what are you doing here Lobo? Norma said
What can't a guy come visit his favorite girl? Lobo said
Oh don't flatter me. Norma said
So...who is he? Lobo said
This is Valkog. Norma said
Valkog? Lobo said
That's right i'm Valkog and it's pleasure to meet Mr...? Valkog said
Lobo. Lobo said
Lobo right. Valkog said
But seriously Lobo why are you here? Norma said
Well i'm here to get some of that money for that ancient tablet you guys took. Lobo said
Says who? Valkog said
I was hoping you'd say that. Lobo said
What do you mean? Valkog said
Hold up. Lobo said
Lobo then took out his phone and started talking to Lord Dominator
Hey boss it's me. Lobo said
Did you find the people that took the ancient tablet? Lord Dominator said
Yeah i found them. Lobo said
Good now put me on speaker. Lord Dominator said
No problem. Lobo said
Lobo then put his phone on speaker and put it close to Valkog and Norma
Hello? Valkog said
Are you Valkog? Lord Dominator said
Yes i am. Valkog said
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lord Dominator. Lord Dominator said
Nice to meet you. Valkog said
Likewise. Lord Dominator said
So what can i do for you Mr. Dominator? Valkog said
I want to make a deal with you. Lord Dominator said
What kind of deal? Valkog said
Meanwhile
The gang was almost about to land on Rosa which is a desert area similar to Jaster's planet
It seems the transport ship landed near the ancient ruins in the south of the Sylvazard Desert. Steve said
Oh, the ancient ruins, eh...? I always figured there was some kinda connection between the Great Tablets and all these planetary ruins. I was right after all. Dorgengoa said
You sure are a sharp one, boss! Moncha said
Oh, shut up! Lilika said as she hit Moncha on the head
Yeow! Moncha said
Ha ha ha. Sophitia laughed
What's so funny? Lilika said
Oh nothing. Sophitia said
They'll spot us for sure if we land this close. What should we do, Captain? Steve said
Let's hit the port in Salgin. From there we'll approach through the desert. Jaster said
The desert? Er, not too sure about that. Simon said
Why not? We've done it before when we first met. Punk said
That was different. This is... Simon said
Punk's right. It's the only way in. If we approach in plain sight, they'll spot us before we get there. Besides Jaster, knows this planet inside-out. I say we go through the desert. Lilika said
You scalawags have a lot of nerve to be whippin' up strategies, you know. Of course, as the first mate, i'll have to okay anything you come up with. Moncha said
Give it a rest, puffykins. Lilika said
Hah puffykins good one. Punk said
Thanks. Anyway well, Captain? What should we do? Lilika said
Wh-wh-why, i never...! Moncha said
Hmm. Now listen up, ya dogs! We'll land at the port and proceed through the desert. Now quit dawdlin'! Dorgengoa said
The ship has kept moving until it finally landed near a port
So, Jaster! Rosa's your home, eh? Must know your way around. Dorgengoa said
Of course! The desert is through the residential area's south gate. We'll make our way through Sylvazard towards the ancient ruins. Don't worry, we can do it! Jaster said
Okay let's go then. Punk said
Right. Jaster said
A few minutes later
The Warriors along with Jaster were now back at the desert area where they first met
So this place is your home huh? Punk said
Yeah sorry for not telling you guys. Jaster said
It's okay dude. Punk said
This is actually my first time being here. Kisala said
What do you mean first time? You were here before when we were being chased by a giant worm. Punk said
I know that but what i meant was being here in Jaster's hometown. Kisala said
Oh so that's what you meant. Punk said
It's exactly what i meant. Kisala said
Still though it's a pretty nice place you got here Jaster. Punk said
Thanks. Jaster said
Focus everyone we need to keep moving. Batman said
Batman's right. Let's keep moving. Sophitia said
A few more minutes later
The gang then reached an area with a gate
If we go through the desert from here, we'll reach the ruins. But this area can be dangerous-it's rife with beasts. Jaster said
No problem. Punk said
Umm...that scares me a little, but as long as you're here...i don't mind. Kisala said
I've never been a big fan of deserts myself. Zegram said
This is the only way we can approach without the enemies spotting us. Jupis said
Blue lizard man telling the truth? Hulk said
My name is Jupis and of course i'm telling the truth. Also i sure do hate this heat! Jupis said
Tell me about it. Punk said
Hey Jaster, you sure this is all right? I mean, i really don't wanna drop dead out there. Simon said
We'll be fine. Come on! Jaster said
This kid is out of his mind. Simon said
Don't worry Simon. Jaster is a good person. Sophitia said
Are you sure about that? Simon said
Positive. Sophitia said
Meanwhile
We now go back to the ship as we see Lobo, Valkog, and Norma driving to an unknown area and landed there
Looks like we made it on time. Norma said
Uh...this is a desert. Lobo said
Yes it is. So? Norma said
Nothing. Lobo said
The negotiations dragged on, thanks to that idiot Banarge. Valkog said
Banarge? Who's that? Lobo said
It's a long story. Anyway we nearly let a truly historic moment pass us by. Valkog said
He's a would-be politico, a senile old man with an obsolete sense of justice. Norma said
Yes yes, you're right on the ball, my dear Norma. He always delaying Council decisions! The man is an absolute nuisance. Valkog said
I don't know about you guys but i think he sounds really pathetic if you ask me. Lobo said
Exactly. Valkog said
Not to change the subject, sir, but i think they're about to begin. Norma said
Ah, at last! Valkog said
This should be fun. Norma said
Um...what's going on here? Lobo said
This is Daytron's money. Norma said
Wait you mean this empty place? Lobo said
Of course i mean after all, this is where all of Daytron's money went. All those millions. Norma said
Okay...? Lobo said
When you think of what it'll bring us in the end, it's practically a steal. Heh heh heh... Valkog said
Alright. That's cool. Lobo said
Now, then...the time has come for you to serve your president. Work hard...and don't disappoint him. Norma said
Who are you talking to? Lobo said
This man. Norma said as she pointed at someone
They all turned and saw a strange with a black and white mask on his face
Okay who the hell is this guy? Lobo said
He's a business partner of ours. Norma said
Oh. Lobo said
What is up with that mask, anyway? Valkog said
My apologies, sir. Apparently, they still haven't quite finished forming his face yet. Care to take a look? Norma said
Valkog then looked at the black and white masked man and was freaked out a little
N-No, that's all right... Valkog said
Hee hee hee. Norma laughed
Dude that guy is freaky. Lobo said
You said it. Valkog said
While Lobo and Valkog are being freaked out a strange man with a black and white mask has appeared what are his intentions? and how is the gang doing on their journey through the ancient ruins in the desert? stay tuned
