The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 48
After a lot of competing in the Insectron tournament Jaster won and became a champion and Punk and Hulk were congratulating him
Congratulations dude. Punk said
Good job Jaster. Hulk said
Thanks guys but man was it tough. Jaster said
Hey at least you pulled through. Punk said
Yeah barely. Jaster said
So did you get anything from that tournament? Punk said
Well just this trophy. Jaster said
That's it? Punk said
No they're also giving us some free money too. Jaster said
Really? Punk said
Yup. Jaster said
Well i guess that's okay. Punk said
Hulk thinks we should be doing something right now. Hulk said
Like what? Punk said
Suddenly Punk's phone started to ring and Punk answered
Hello? Punk said
How was the Insectron tournament? Sophitia said
Pretty good. Punk said
Really? Did Jaster win? Sophitia said
Yeah he did. Punk said
Oh how wonderful. Sophitia said
So did you guys find anything? Punk said
Yes we did and we want you guys to come as soon as you can. Sophitia said
Alright we'll be there soon. Punk said
Punk then hung up the phone
What happened? Jaster said
The others found something while they were looking around. Punk said
Are you sure? Jaster said
Yeah. Punk said
What did they find? Jaster said
That's what we're about to find out. Punk said
Hulk thinks we should go. Hulk said
Right let's go. Jaster said
A few minutes later
Punk, Jaster and Hulk approached the others and saw a blue force field wall covering a building
We're here. Punk said
About time you guys showed up. Zegram said
What's going on here? Jaster said
We saw this building and tried to go inside but it was blocked by some strange barrier. Kisala said
A barrier? Jaster said
Yes. Kisala said
No way. Punk said
Why don't you take a look then? Batman said
No problem. Punk said
Punk then approached the barrier and was knocked back
Huh? Jaster said
What the hell is this? Some kind of force field? Punk said
This barrier...it's not part of the ruins. It's some electronic lock. Jaster said
Probably put there by Longardian troops. And it looks like the latest model. Zegram said
It's awfully secure. Jupis said
Hulk could smash it. Hulk said
No way. It'll take a supercomputer to unlock that. Jupis said
So this tower is that important to them. Jaster said
Er...may i give it a try? Steve said
What are you talking about Steve? Kisala said
I might be able to unlock it. Steve said
Are you sure? Kisala said
Leave it to me. Steve said
Steve then approached the barrier
What do you think? Batman said
Hmm...this uses the latest technology. We're dealing with tricky customers indeed. Steve said
Steven then placed his hands on the barrier but it did nothing
Phew... Steve said
No good? Jaster said
Unfortunately not. Steve said
Well that sucks. Punk said
Hmm...guess i'll have to pull out all the stops. If i put my brain circuits on full burst, we might be able to get somewhere. Steve said
Full burst? Jaster said
Did you just say full burst? Punk said
Yes, when i activate my full burst mode, it allows me to increase my processing power to 150 percent. I'm sure Dr. Pocacchio will switch me over if we ask him. Steve said
Looks like that's our only option, Jaster. Simon said
Yeah...let's get Dr. Pocacchio's help. Jaster said
Then let's go back to the Daytron factory and ask him. Batman said
Right. Jaster said
A few more minutes later
The gang was now back at the Daytron factory and they started talking to Dr. Pocacchio
Full burst mode? Are you insane?! Pocacchio said
It's only for a short while, doctor. If i could just take down that barrier... Steve said
Forget it! The damage to your emotional circuits would be too great! Pocacchio said
Can't you do something? You're the only option we have. Steve said
In any case, i can't make this decision by myself. Wait here a moment. Pocacchio said
What are you gonna do? Punk said
I'm going to have a talk with someone. This way, Steve. Pocacchio said
Huh? All right... Steve said
Steve walked along with Dr. Pocacchio and went inside his lab
He can't make it himself...? Then whose decision is it? Jaster said
Whoever it is i hope they can help us. Sophitia said
I hope so too. Jaster said
Meanwhile
Dr. Pocacchio was typing something on his laptop while Steve was asleep right now we then enter into a virtual world with Steve, Dr. Pocacchio and a little boy
Are you sure about this, Mark? Pocacchio said
I'm with Steve on this one, dad. I want to go on lots more adventures. Mark said
But if this doesn't go well, there's likely chance that you might disappear forever. And if that were to happen... Pocacchio said
Dad, i want to help Jaster and his friends. Mark said
Mark...! Pocacchio said
They're really great people. They are Steve's good friends-every one of them-and that makes them my good friends, too. Mark said
Friends... Friends, huh...? I see... You've made new friends... I'm so glad, Mark. I was hoping you would. Pocacchio said
Back to the others
The gang was waiting for Steve and Dr. Pocacchio until they came back
I've removed the burst mode limiter from Steve's central processing unit. When Steve goes into burst mode, he'll be as powerful as the Galaxy Corporation's latest and greatest super computers. Pocacchio said
Perfect. Punk said
Indeed. Here, take this with you. With this switch, you will be able to activate Steve's burst mode. Pocacchio said as he handed Jaster the burst mode switch
Doctor Pocacchio...thank you for listening to my selfish demands. Steve said
I should be the one thanking you...Steve. Pocacchio said
Are you okay Dr. Pocacchio? Sophitia said
Don't worry i'm fine. But you should get going. Your adventure is far from over. Pocacchio said
Right come on everyone let's go. Jaster said
Yeah. the others said
The gang started to leave until Pocacchio called out to Jaster
Jaster? Pocacchio said
Yeah? Jaster said
Good luck. Pocacchio said
Thanks. Jaster said as he ran and left
Another few minutes later
The gang was now back at the barrier covered building
So are you gonna use the burst mode switch? Punk said
Yes i am. Jaster said
Just be careful. Batman said
Right...well here goes nothing. Jaster said
Jaster pressed the button on the burst mode switch and activated Steve's full burst mode
If we hang around too long, Daytron will be onto us. Let's get this barrier out of the way. Steve said
You're in a good mood today. Jaster said
I'll say. Punk said
All thanks to Dr. Pocacchio. Steve said
Steve then placed his hands on the barrier again and this time the barrier was destroyed
You did it! Jaster said
That Pocacchio is a genius! Sure can't take him for granted. Jupis said
And you tried to ruin his work. Punk said
Hey cut me some slack. Jupis said
You're absolutely right! Steve said
Let's keep going. Jaster said
Right. the others said
Another few minutes later
The gang was inside the building but this wasn't just any building this was Gladius Towers the biggest and most deadly of all the buildings
This place looks pretty shady. I'm looking forward to seeing those ruins, though! Jupis said
Eh...? Jaster said
What is it Jaster? Sophitia said
I think i just saw something. Jaster said
Where? Punk said
Over there. Jaster said
Jaster then ran up and looked around while Steve pointed at something
look, Mr. Rogue! Steve said
The gang looked a dozen balls of light all around and started to make voices
Suddenly the balls of light went straight into the fountain and out came a large sword popping out
What is this? Jaster said
Heroes, hark! the sword said
Whoa! Are swords supposed to talk like that? Jupis said
I'm just as surprised as you are. Punk said
There's a soul within that sword. Lilika said
A soul? Batman said
Yes. Lilika said
I speak of the valor of the Libra King...i have waited for you across the eternal ages... the sword said
Whoa...! Jaster said
The sword then started to shine brightly until the light faded away and the sword appeared in Jaster's hand
I believe that you may be the ones who can finally quell the turmoil in this cursed castle. the sword said
Dude who are you? Punk said
I am the Libra King, i am the lord of this castle. O brave and valiant travelers, do me the honor of listening to my request. the sword said
A request? What is it? Jaster said
The tortured souls of my sons wander these two towers. They have continued their pointless quarrel over these many long years-not even noticing as their bodies crumbled to dust...please, help bring peace back to these two towers. the sword said
W-Wait! Jaster said
The light from the sword then faded away
And he's gone. Punk said
Damn it. Jaster said
Take a look at that. Steve said
The others looked and saw the pathway up has been opened
The spirits...they're showing us the way? What's going on? Jaster said
Looks like the king's servants are guiding our way. Well then, what do you want to do, Jaster? Simon said
Let's give it a shot! Jaster said
I knew you'd say that. Ready, willing, and able-same as always! Simon said
So we're going inside? Punk said
Yes. Jaster said
Figures. Punk said
Jaster, i hope you're ready. This time around, it's not gonna be so easy. Deego said
I know. Jaster said
Well then let's go. Punk said
Right. Jaster said
The gang then went straight on the pathway up unfortunately Zegram was mysterious talking to someone on the phone
It's me. Just as you suspected, they've managed to dupe the Libra King. We should just let 'em go for now, right? Zegram said
We see Norma sitting with Lobo somewhere
Yes, might as well leave the dirty work to the dirty workers, don't you think? We'll pick up again once they're through finding them all. Norma said
Norma then hung up the phone
Man they are so stupid. Lobo said
Indeed. Norma said
Uh oh this doesn't sound good not only is Zegram working with Lobo but he's also working with Norma? this is not good stay tuned
