The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 75
The gang was inside the castle talking with Freidias while Dorgengoa was being weird with her and asking her about the Eternal Soul Freidias told them to go see mother but before they could find her Freidias was about to explain the sad tale of Meriglenn
Very well then...you shall have all the treasures you can find on Meriglenn. Freidias said
Again...for real? Punk said
Yes, again for real. Freidias said
Really? Do you mean it? And the Eternal Soul, too? Dorgengoa said
That, unfortunately, we do not have. Freidias said
You don't have it? Sophitia said
No...for that, you'll have to see...Mother. Freidias said
Mother? Jaster said
Who's Mother? Punk said
No idea. Jaster said
Okay, sounds good. So all we have to do is go ask this Mother person, then. Dorgengoa said
I'm afraid that is not possible. Freidias said
What do you mean? Punk said
Mother never deigns to listen to us. Freidias said
Oh. Punk said
It seems i need to tell you everything-the sad tale of Mariglenn. I shall reveal to you how we ended up where we are today. Freidias said
Tell us the story. Jaster said
Very well. Freidias said
Shoot. Punk said
Of course. Once upon a time, Mariglenn was the most technologically advanced planet in the entire Wilherser system. But one day, the evil energy known as rune appeared on our planet and began to eat away at Mariglenn. Freidias said
What do you mean by eat away? Punk said
Have you noticed the sky? Freidias said
We have actually. Sophitia said
Rune made the sky look like that. Freidias said
How? Punk said
By using it's evil energy of course. Freidias said
Oh. Punk said
As i was saying Rune is composed of forbidden energy that gives life to the lifeless. As i'm sure you've already witnessed first hand, those who fall victim to the Rune gain new life as monsters. Freidias said
Damn. Jaster said
I know that's messed up. Punk said
Rune does not discriminate-no one can withstand its influence. Even worse, the Rune monsters on this planet are several times stronger than those you encountered in the Wilherser system. Freidias said
Why? Jaster said
It's because Mariglenn is home to a fearsome force that is the source of all Rune: Mother. Freidias said
Wow. Punk said
I see...so Mother is the cause of all the beasts that exist throughout the galaxy. Jaster said
Exactly. Once our planet was in Mother's grip, there was nothing we could do except to wait for the inevitable. Freidias said
What did the Rune do? Batman said
The Rune that Mother released would eventually strip this planet bare. Freidias said
Again that's messed up. Punk said
And once our world was destroyed, it would move on to another planet and repeat the same process. Rune is like a voracious microbe that feasts on planets. Freidias said
How awful. Sophitia said
Indeed it was and we quickly realized that unless we somehow stopped her, Mother would eventually destroy the entire galaxy. That is why i decided to seal Mariglenn into a space/time cleft, into a galaxy in a different dimension. That was the only choice we had. Freidias said
That sucks. Punk said
It does but everything we did was for the protection of our beautiful galaxy. Freidias said
So you sacrificed yourself to save the galaxy. How very sad indeed. Zegram said
Where have you been Zegram? Dorgengoa said
I was just looking at the castle. It was amazing. Zegram said
Is that all? Dorgengoa said
That's all. Zegram said
I wish there was another way we could stop Mother, but unfortunately, we had no choice. Freidias said
I mean who could blame you? Zegram said
You must understand, i love this planet very much. I could not hand it over to Mother without a fight. Freidias said
You didn't find anything? Batman said
I tried. Desperately, i tried to figure out a way to save it somehow. There is only one person who could stand up against Mother and win...and that is the Star King they spoke of in legends. Freidias said
Did you just say the Star King? Punk said
Yes. Our greatest prophets predicted that the one who carried the Star King's soul would appear in ten thousand years. Freidias said
So...what did you do? Jaster said
Believing their words, i sent Ragnar to each planet in Wilherser, placing keys on each one that could open the gate to our world. It was a gate that only the one with the Star King's powers could open...it was the gate of hope. Freidias said
Again wow. Punk said
Irieth, you were still just a baby back then. I was sure you could live in peace during the reign of the Star King, so i left you to Ragnar. I did not want to see you grow up in a world controlled by Mother. Freidias said
What do you mean? Kisala said
I wanted you to carry the blood of the Mariglenn people into the future. Freidias said
Mom... Kisala said
After we made all the preparations, we waited many long years for you to open the gates of time and arrive on our planet. Freidias said
Whoa. Punk said
So that's how it happened... Jaster said
Now that the gate has been unsealed, Mother is sure to use it to bring her malice to other planets-just as soon as she destroys Mariglenn. Freidias said
And when's that gonna happen? Zegram said
Soon. Please, help us defeat Mother and bring peace to this planet, as well as the entire galaxy. Freidias said
I get it now, Missus Queen. Just leave it to us, all right? Dorgengoa said
Yeah! I don't know if i'm as strong as all that, but i'm prepared to give it a shot. Jaster said
And so will we. Punk said
He's right we'll help out as well. Batman said
We will protect you. Sophitia said
Hulk ready to smash. Hulk said
We'll fight for you, mom. I promise. For this planet and our entire galaxy, we're gonna defeat Mother. Kisala said
Thank you Irieth, and thank you all so much. I believe in you. I believe in your powers. Freidias said
Powers huh? Punk said
Yes. Now please...please help us Meriglenns learn to smile again. Freidias said
Where do we start? Batman said
A man named Yuvan waits for you near the south gate...go speak with him-he will lead you on your way. Freidias said
So we have to meet him right? Punk said
That's right. Freidias said
Okay, then let's go. Punk said
Go forth, brave warriors! Freidias said
Wait, let me get this straight-pirates fighting to save someone? Zegram said
Huh? Sophitia said
I mean since when are we so charitable? Zegram said
Yeah, well, what about it? Dorgengoa said
I agree with him. What's the big deal? Punk said
I don't know, i'm just saying. Zegram said
Is something wrong? Freidias said
Nothing's wrong. I need to talk to one of my crew members for a second. Dorgengoa said
Of course. Go ahead. Freidias said
Thank you. Dorgengoa said
Again why are we doing this? Zegram said
Look, this planet is drowning in riches. What a terrible waste it'd be if it all got eaten up by Rune! Dorgengoa said
What's your point? Zegram said
My point is we'll get our share of 'em as a reward, i'm sure. Trust me, Zegram. Dorgengoa said
Hmm...if you say so. Zegram said
Besides, have you taken a good look at Kisala's ma? She's a looker! How can you say no to a woman like that, huh? He he he. Dorgengoa said
Humph, i figured as much. Zegram said
Papa, what are you and Zegram talking about? Kisala said
Nothing Kisala. We were just a friendly chat that's all. Dorgengoa said
Are you guys sure? Punk said
Trust us we're sure. Zegram said
Sounds good enough to me. Punk said
We should probably get going then. Sophitia said
Yeah, let's go guys. Jaster said
A few minutes later
The gang was now walking around the castle of Eden they kept walking and walking until they saw Yuvan the man who Freidias said would lead their way near the south gate and who also can help them find Mother
Ahh, at last...at last we meet. Yuvan said
Are you Yuvan? Batman said
Yes i am. I've waited so long for you to arrive. This is truly an honor. Yuvan said
Uh, for me? Jaster said
Wow the gang has found Yuvan who is about to help them find Mother and save Mariglenn will they do it and where is Mother stay tuned
