The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse

Chapter 49

The gang was inside Gladius Towers a gigantic and huge building in Zerard while inside Jaster gained a new sword and Zegram was acting very suspicious but right now the gang was busy checking out the building

So you're a king talking out of a sword? Punk said

No i am an actual king talking but i'm not a sword. the sword said

You literally are a sword. Punk said

No i'm not. the sword said

Yes you are. Punk said

No i'm not. the sword said

Yes you are. Punk said

Look i may look like a sword now but trust me i am a king. the sword said

He's telling the truth. Lilika said

Seriously? Punk said

Yes i can feel it's soul inside the sword. Lilika said

Whoa. Punk said

Yeah i know. Lilika said

Could you tell us how you became a sword? Sophitia said

I would love to tell you but there are other things we need to worry about. the sword said

Like what? Punk said

Bringing peace to the towers. the sword said

Oh right. Punk said

Don't worry Libra King that's what we're gonna do. Jaster said

Good now i must leave now but i will talk to you again. the sword said

Wait hold on i wanna ask some more... Jaster said

The green light from the sword faded again

Questions. Jaster said

And he's gone again. Punk said

Whoever this Libra King is he's starting to creep me out. Simon said

You and me both. Punk said

We need to keep going. Batman said

Right. Jaster said

A few minutes later

The gang went further inside Gladius Towers and they kept walking until a familiar voice called out to them

Oho! If it isn't Jaster! What a coincidence! the voice said

The gang turned around and saw a ball of light flying towards them

What the-?! What's going on? Jaster said

C'mon, Jaster! It's me! the ball of light said

Wait that voice. Jaster said

It sounds like... Sophitia said

Burton. Batman said

What? No way. Punk said

Nope he's right it's me. Burton said

No way...is that really you? Jaster said

Burton...? Deego said

Of course it's me! Can't ya tell? Burton said

How could i?! What happened? Jaster said

Yeah like how did you become a ball of light? Punk said

A beast got me while i was exploring, and next thing i knew, here i was, like this. Burton said

That must have hurt. Punk said

Oh trust me it hurt really bad. Burton said

You turned into a spirit? Kisala said

Wait spirit? Does that mean he died or something? Punk said

Yeah...maybe. Kisala said

Maybe? Punk said

Anyway don't you mind? Jaster said

Oh, no-this is so much better! Burton said

What do you mean? Sophitia said

Now that i'm a spirit, it's a cinch t' find out all sorts o' things about th' past! I must say it's quite a pleasant surprise. Burton said

So you're not freaked out at all? Punk said

Oh heavens no. I feel great. Burton said

Wow. Punk said

Burton are you sure? Jaster said

Don't worry Jaster i'm fine. Oops-can't hang around like this. I've got a lot more research t' do! See ya later, folks! Burton said

Burton then flew away to do some more exploring

Hey, Burton, wait! Jaster said

"See ya later?" Talk about happy go lucky. Kisala said

Yeah no kidding. Punk said

Poor Burton. Sophitia said

Yeah the poor guy became a spirit. Deego said

I wish we could have done something for him. Jaster said

He said he was happy with being a spirit so let's leave him alone for now. Kisala said

So we're just gonna let him run off as a spirit? Punk said

For now. Kisala said

Okay then. Punk said

We need to trust Burton. Right now we need to keep moving. Batman said

Yeah. come on guys. Jaster said

Right. the others said

A few more minutes later

The gang went further and further inside the towers and came upon a throne room with a purple ghost standing by

What do you want? This is the king's chamber-no place for commoners to be barging in. the purple ghost said

We're here by order of your father, the Libra King. Please hear us out. Jaster said

Ha ha ha...don't make me laugh. My dead father sent you here? the purple ghost said

Yeah he did. So what? Punk said

So the dead are now recruiting the living? Or is this all my brother Logan's doing? the purple ghost said

Don't you see? The Libra King is no longer of this world, but neither are you. You've been dead for a long time. Your obsession with the throne prevents you from moving on. All you are now is a phantom cursed to haunt this tower for eternity. Jaster said

Humph...don't be absurd. the purple ghost said

We're telling the truth. Batman said

I don't believe you. the purple ghost said

Fine, then take a look at this. Jaster said

Jaster shows the purple ghost the sword he was given

What? That's my father's sword. Where did you get it? the purple ghost said

Libra King gave glowing sword to us. Hulk said

The sword then started to glow again

Oh, i see now. Logan went so far as to use father's name in his little scheme. An unforgivable folly! the purple ghost said

Say what? Punk said

Pawns of Logan, i shall bury you all in the name of the king! the purple ghost said

The purple ghost then transformed into a giant phantom with white armor and two duel blades

Great he transformed. Punk said

I'm going to you all wish you never came here. Phantom Gazel said

Damn it! He just won't listen to reason. Jaster said

Then let's beat some sense into him. Punk said

My thoughts exactly. Lilika said

Prepare to die. Pawns of Logan. Phantom Gazel said

Another few minutes later

After a long fight the gang took down Phantom Gazel

Urk...i felt my father's presence in that blade...it was as though he spoke to me with every strike. So you deny me, father...i have lost myself in the pursuit of the throne. Gazel said

What does that mean? Punk said

It means i was a poor excuse for a king. I am nothing compared to my father... Gazel said

Really? Punk said

Yes please...tell my brother Logan for me. Tell him the throne is his...and that he is the one fit to succeed our father. Gazel said

Gazel then suddenly vanished

Well that was...okay i guess? Punk said

At least we stopped him. Jaster said

Good point. Punk said

Let's keep moving. Batman said

Right. Jaster said

Another few minutes later

The gang was still inside the towers until they saw Lobo and Seed standing in front of them

Jaster! Deego said

You again! Jaster said

Hey don't forget about me. Lobo said

Lobo. Sophitia said

That's right sweetheart. Lobo said

Lobo? Who is he? Deego said

It's a long story but let's just say he's an enemy of ours. Punk said

Oh i see. Deego said

And you, i see. Using the king's powers to persuade those idiot princes? Seed said

What's your point? Jaster said

We would gladly handle that task in your stead if you please... Seed said

You and Lobo? Batman said

That's right. Seed said

Actually he wants to do that task i just wanna kill you guys. Lobo said

Forget it. Jaster said

Heh heh heh. Then let us play! After all, i have plenty of time. Seed said

Bring it on you black and white mask freak. Punk said

Oh i will. Seed said

Uh oh it looks like the gang has gotten into some trouble as Lobo and Seed have shown up to fight them stay tuned
