The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 64
The gang reached the town of Salgin which was being attacked by Valkog who wanted the Eternal Keyplate they were about to give it to him but Raul told them not to do it instead he used a machine to distract them but was attacked by the warship
Raul! Stay with me! C'mon, Raul! Jaster said
Ugh...Jaster...the town... Raul said
It's fine-everybody's safe. So hang on, don't you leave me, Raul! Jaster said
Jaster...there's something i...must tell you. Raul said
It's all right, Raul. Don't talk. Jaster said
The others then approached Jaster while he was holding Raul
It's about...your father. Raul said
My father? You...you know my father? But i thought you found me on the church steps. Jaster said
I'm sorry that wasn't true. You were given to me. Your father gave you to me. Raul said
What? Jaster said
Listen to me, Jaster...you are a unique child. There are things you are destined for. Things only you can do. Raul said
Raul then gave Jaster a necklace
What's this...? Jaster said
That will guide your way. Go now, Jaster. Raul said
Raul, what do you mean? I don't understand. What is this? Jaster said
Jaster...you must protect that great starry sky of yours... Raul said
After speaking his last words Raul passed away
Raul! No, please...hey Raul! Wake up, Raul! Jaster said
Holy crap! Punk said
It's too late. Batman said
Oh no. Sophitia said
Old man dead? Hulk said
You promised-you said you'd wait for me. No, you can't die. Come on, Raul! It can't be... Jaster said
I'm sorry Jaster...he's gone. Batman said
This isn't happening. It's not true...it's not true. Jaster said
It is. It really is. Punk said
Why did Raul have to die...? Jaster said
Jaster... Sophitia said
Why? WHY?! RAAAAAAUUUUL! Jaster said
A few minutes later
It was already nighttime and Jaster was sitting at the steps of a destroyed building looking at the necklace Raul gave him before he died while the others were looking at him from a distance
Poor Jaster. Sophitia said
I wonder if Jaster's okay. Kisala said
Well considering he lost his guardian i'd say...he's not very happy. Punk said
To him, this is like losing his real father. Now, Jaster is all alone. He has no one. Lilika said
All alone... Kisala said
That's messed up. Punk said
I agree. Sophitia said
Yes it's sad but...true warriors must overcome the pain of saying goodbye to the ones they love. Lilika said
So what do we do? Sophitia said
Easy...let him be. Lilika said
That's it? Punk said
Yup that's it. Lilika said as she left and went back to the ship
I think Lilika's right. Batman said
But Jaster's... Sophitia said
We need to give Jaster some time to process this. Batman said
Yeah i would need some time too if my guardian died. Punk said
Exactly. Batman said
Well...i suppose so. Sophitia said
Good then let's go back to the ship and wait for him. Punk said
Right. Sophitia said
Before the others could leave they turned and look at Kisala who was still looking at Jaster said
Hey Kisala. Punk said
Yes? Kisala said as she looked at the others
Are you coming? Punk said
Well um... Kisala said
Is it about Jaster? Batman said
Yes. I want to talk to him. Kisala said
I don't think now's a good time. Sophitia said
Yeah he's clearly not in the mood. Besides Lilika said to let him be. Punk said
I know but...he just looks very sad. Kisala said
Do you want to talk to him? Batman said
Yes i do. Kisala said
Then go ahead. Batman said
Wait what? Punk said
Jaster needs to be left alone but if Kisala wants to talk to him then we should let her. Batman said
Yeah but... Punk said
I also agree with Batman. Sophitia said
Seriously? Punk said
Jaster obviously needs someone to comfort him during this time. Sophitia said
What about you Hulk? Punk said
Pretty girl go talk to Jaster. Hulk said
Not you too Hulk. Punk said
And what about you Punk? Sophitia said
The others were now looking at Punk for an answer Punk thought for a moment until he decided
Alright i guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Punk said
Does that mean...? Kisala said
Yes Kisala you can talk to Jaster. Batman said
Really? Kisala said
The others shook their heads yes
Yes thank you all so much. Kisala said
Don't mention it. Sophitia said
Now hurry up and talk to him already. We're going to be leaving soon. Punk said
I will. Kisala said
The others just like Lilika then left and went back to the ship while Kisala went and approached Jaster as she sat next to him
Jaster...are you all right? Kisala said
Jaster didn't say anything as he was still looking at the necklace
I...um...i don't know what to say...um...the stars sure are beautiful, huh? Kisala said
Jaster still didn't say anything as he continued to look at the necklace
It's sad, what happened to Raul...but this isn't like you, Jaster. Kisala said
Leave me alone. Jaster said
Let's go back to the ship. The desert is dangerous at night, and cold too. Kisala said
Go by yourself. I'm staying here. Jaster said
Jaster... Kisala said
Kisala grabbed Jaster's arm but Jaster shook it off Kisala angrily annoyed slapped Jaster in the face
What's with you?! Snap out of it, Jaster! Is it really that awful, being all by yourself? I mean...i'm just as alone as you are! We're both the same! Kisala said
Jaster then looked down after hearing what Kisala said
But we have all these people around us. All of our crew mates-friends who share our excitement, our fear, our joy. We're NOT alone. Let's go back to the ship, okay, Jaster? Kisala said
Kisala... Jaster said
Before Jaster could say anything a bright light was shining before him and Kisala
Ahh. Jaster said
Ahh. Kisala said
It turns out the bright light that was shining was coming from the necklace as it started to show a hologram version of a planet
It's...a map. Jaster said
Where is that? Kisala said
This is a map of Rosa. It's pointing right at the middle of Kuje Desert...there shouldn't be anything there. What...what does this mean? Jaster said
While Jaster was looking at the map of Rosa he started to hear Raul's last words
That will guide your way. Raul said
Raul...is this where you want me to go? Jaster said
Jaster...come on, let's go check it out! We should go back to the ship and prepare for the journey. Kisala said
Right. Jaster said
Before Jaster and Kisala could leave and head back to the ship The Warriors approached them
Hey guys. Punk said
Hello everyone. Kisala said
What are you guys doing here? Jaster said
We came to pick you guys up. Punk said
Are you okay Jaster? Batman said
Yeah...i'm okay. Jaster said
Good. Batman said
Did you two discover something? Sophitia said
Yes we did. Jaster said
Well what is it? Punk said
We'll explain back at the ship. Kisala said
Then let's hurry. Batman said
Right. the others said
Well would you look at that not only was Jaster feeling better but also he and Kisala discovered something interesting but what could this mean and what was it about and what's going to happen next stay tuned
